Match Day Thread Stoke City v Swansea City

Buy the referees?

 

We need to start well tonight, if we just start defending we could be in for a long night. Keep it tight yes, but lets give the Stoke back 4 something to think about instead of giving them time to join in with the midfield. hoping we can nick a draw out of this.

 

Mike Oliver is the ref - as he was 2 years ago when Moses conned him for a penalty...

 

We have to stop Joe early tonight. Let him dictate the tempo and we'll be in big trouble. Cork and Leon have to start together tonight.

 

Tonight the Sorceror comes face to face with his Apprentice.....

Let's hope that Leon comes out on top

 

Tbh, the way Joe is playing atm I'd say he's better than Leon now. That's why Cork must play tonight so it frees up Leon to take on Joe.

I'd go as far as saying Leon v Joe is the main battle tonight. Leon wins, we win. Joe wins, they win.

Watch Bony find his form tonight too

 

Stoke have just beaten Hull & Sunderland - I think we played Hull at the wrong time. If we played Hull & Sunderland now, we'd beat them.

So, in some respects, this match will be a good acid test & indicator for our season....

 

Not sure what team we'll pube out, but Sky Sports News are reporting that Montero is fit - which is great news.
He may not start, but I'm just aching to see us with Barrow and Montero on the pitch from the start.

I'm feeling a draw for today's match.

 

One of those " Opportunity Knocker Game ". A good effort and 3 points would go a long way toward the rest of the "Bottom Ten " results this weekend and could be a catalyist playing a floundering Man U team next .
Any kind of result against Red Devils and its a confident team facing Everton and going all the way to the new year after that with lesser teams lining up .
Ill be happy if Amat sits and Montero starts for this one...Edit : Montero is out of contention , along with Dyer so it will probably be Routs and Barrow on the wing .

 

Had a dog named Tibbers.. good dog he was too

 

fab
Naughton , VDH , Mawson Kingsley
Barrow , Ki , Fer , Siggy Routs
Baston .
Bit surprised neither Cork or Britton is starting considering the Young CBs are starting

 

Most likely result: Stoke win. My prediction: narrow Stoke win.

 

Is that the team? ****ing Ki and Fer? For **** sakes mun

 

It's only 6:25pm....team news not out yet surely.

 

Hope so Aswan because Joe will run riot against Ki and Fer.

 

YIKES .. better go back and look if I read it right ..

 

Fer is our top scorer, what's not to like?

 

Doesn't put pressure on the opposition, doesn't help defensively and to top it off he's put alongside Ki who has lost the plot completely. Christ I hope Ki has a bout of the $hites before kick off if they are starting.

Fer is not a CM player. First r me, he's an AM only.
