    Stoke City - West Brom

    How does every one see this one panning out. West Brom play some good football but tend to have unexpected results from time to time, we also seem to be their bogey team but our strikers haven't produced so far this season, so your thoughts gentlemen, i'm hoping for a win with the said strikers hitting some form so i'll say 2-1 to Stoke.

    You think we'll score TWO? I can see us having a good game again, but there is a worrying trend of us playing very well right up to the opponents box and running out of ideas. Will be interesting to see the set up, Crouch and Jones have both been with us during the international break, but I'd like to see Arnautovic up front again, although I think he'd be more effective if he wasn't trying so hard, several of his shots and crosses have come in real high with loads of spin on them, and it looks great when it works, but I think he needs to keep it a little more simple, and bag a few goals before he start trying to show off.

    We really need to win on Saturday. Lose and with a trip to OT next we could be looking at 5 successive defeats which could affect confidence and leave us in the relegation mix. However we surely have the abilty to beat the Baggies at home but we have to start scoring and so far we have found that difficult. A 2-1 win would satisfy me but where are the goals going to come from. Several fans think that a thrashing for someone is on the cards due to our 'new' style of play, let's hope it happens on Saturday

    Hopefully Mr Hughes has had time to work on a few things during the break and that is why I went for 2-1, we just need the strikers to find the net as there are goals in the midfield players, a copule of goals will lift the fans aswell as the team.

    We can`t score,so I don`t see how we can win. Draw at best. Hope I`m wrong.

    I noticed that aswell. It appears that Pulis was able to generate more debate, or most fans were already disheartened by the end of last season that they lost the desire to debate?

    I think everyone`s so disappointed by the way things are turning out that they have been rendered speechless!! There`s nothing more can be said without stating the `bleedin` obvious,we need to score some goals!! 4 goals in 8 games is relegation form. Even Potts has virtually disappeared from the site!!

    I think Pulis united us in his ineptitude and favouritism of certain players, now after the first few games we seem to have gone backwards but as others have said the strikers we have are not the best.
