Captain... Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 This game will give a big indication of what kind of manager CP will be. I don't agree with "never change a winning team" we've made a lot of changes in the last three games and won them all. I would like to see a team picked to beat the opposition exploit their weaknesses and play to our strengths. We have a lot of options up front let's use them and not burn out Vardy and Mahrez. I think Shinji will start maybe Albrighton give us that work ethic to get us into the game and unsettle Stoke's backline. We could go with 3 at the back, I don't really know Claude it's over to you.
Suzie the Fox Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 Id say the Midland... or maybe the Queen Vic? Not drank in Syston for years.. The Dog & Gun used to be a decent pub but dunno what its like now, dont recall them ever having a tv though
Wymsey Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 Would've personally preferred this at 17:30, 12:30 feels too early for a Saturday game. Sunday at that time would've been quite ok.

You still haven't answered the question, instead swerving it with old nonsense. Why, when you've been making a point over recent weeks of having Amartey in the side because hes 'a beast' do you now not even want him in the squad YOU said should be picked? Answer the question..
Scotch Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 I don't think we'll see a regular, week in week out system until at least January, maybe not at all. Purl seems like the sort of manager who looks to play against the team he's playing. What I mean by that is, set up his team based on the strengths and weaknesses of whatever team he's playing that day. Which explains why he chopped and changed so much at Southampton and why he's known for getting good results. It also explains why he's seen as boring as his main concern each week is to stop the opposing team from playing their game. I think this could work for us as it will keep a lot of the players happy, knowing they will play here and there and make us unpredictable for teams to play against.

You don't have to be mad because other people rate Amartey. IMO we should look to be on the front foot and I'd rather have an extra attacker on the bench than an extra defender. I'd personally pick Amartey because he can play about 8 positions but it's not outrageous to want to play Dragovic on the bench because he's a more accomplished player. Amartey is still only 22, I find it utterly baffling that you can't wait to bin him. Is it because you're scared about being proven wrong?

Because Big Aleksandar is more beastly

walkerleeds Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 Anyone know what number the back row is at Stoke?

Most are quite friendly and fine, overall, however (haven't met them before; but myself, @Webbo and @TiffToff88 sound like decent inhabitants of the area).

UPinCarolina Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 Cautiously optimistic, as I've been for the past two weeks. I think the worst is over for us, with challenges yet to come that we're capable of handling. I can see a hard-fought 2-1 or 3-2 victory; we're going to have to score some goals and our defense was not as pristine as one might think looking at the Everton scoreline.
Loves2spooge Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 I took a screenshot of everyone praising gray , I have a full folder of Gray praises You know I'm gonna keep 'em , if he ever under-performs and we start slating him in a Thread I'm gonna post a reply to anyone praising him right now then turning on him later it tends to happen a lot in this forum
Legend_in_blue Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 Stoke are dislikeable. Travelling through it on the A50 doesn't do it too many favours either. It's pretty grim.

Will probably hit the midland railway then, assuming that's the one just off the mini-roundabout on the road out from the town centre to thurmaston?

Normally busy most times of the day that it's open at the weekend. Not sure on the first part..

It's near the Station (surprisingly enough) just over a humpback bridge on the way from Thurmaston.
Koke Posted 30 October 2017 Posted 30 October 2017 We've got a pretty decent record v Stoke. 1 loss in 6 games against them and that loss came way back in 2014/15 under Pearson when we were shocking. Couple of 2-2s at their place and one 1-0 with Ulloa scoring. Beat them convincingly at home 2 & 3-0 in the last couple of seasons.
