    My pre match nerves are kicking in, glad we've got some big players to field against Stoke, don't wish to look like Lilliput Utd. <laugh>

    When we defend set pieces, Anita is on duty to mark Crouchy's right knee. I think Debuchy has the left one.

    I am nervous about this one. If we get the first goal I think we will be alright, we can def get at the Stoke defence and the midfield I hope we can seize by the scruff of neck. Whelan and N'Zonzi in the middle could be a weak link for Stoke but if they score forst they could be really hard to break down. We really need to win this one

    A sneaky 7-0 win would move us up to 10th in the table.

    Ben Arfa unlikely to play a part today according to Lee Ryder. Got a dead leg against Anzhi:

    Lee Ryder &#8207;@lee_ryder

    The slight knock picked up by Hatem Ben Arfa in Russia looks to have cost #nufc today. Not likely to be involved v #scfc Not serious though.


    Seems sensible anyway. 2 matches in 3 days after the injury he had would be asking a wee bit.

    Huth will be missing again for this one so we will be unsettled at the back once more. Pulis will no doubt try to stifle the midfield so don't expect an exciting game today. Can't see us winning or even scoring so I predict either a narrow loss or boring draw!

    SHame about HBA, Pards sticking with a settled line up though. Looks decent, fingers crossed lads (and lasses!)

    No Shola, so if we need more firepower to come on then Campbell may get a chance.

    Elliots kicking... is so much better than Kruls. It's really helping us a lot get up the field.

    We really need to keep it on the deck, especially against this lot. Play it through the middle and keep the passes neat, bombing the ball into the box is never going going to work against a Stoke team. We keep getting into great positions on the wings, but the final balls are in effective.

    Gouffran doesn't have much composure in front of goal does he?
