Gazza M Posted 19 February Posted 19 February Jakub Aluko Okoli Nelson VK Skipp Fatawu Aribo Mukasa Mavididi Daka Pace on the counter please. 1
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 19 February Posted 19 February 12 hours ago, Gazza3 said: I’d consider playing Skipp at left back as we now have more midfield options and left back is a real issue Why? He’s actually developed a little bit of form lately; no doubt helped by playing regularly in midfield. Add to this that we don’t have another workhorse style central midfielder available in the squad (Hamza injured), why would you move him and create a weakness in a central area? 2

Finn Claw II Posted 20 February Posted 20 February With injuries and a lack of options the side almost picks itself. High intensity play would be nice to see
STEVIE B Posted 20 February Posted 20 February Happy with a draw. 1-1. Stoke are on a poor run, but are only 5pts adrift of the play-offs.
filbertway Posted 20 February Posted 20 February (edited) Going for a 2-0 win, maybe 3 if we're feeling spunky! Clean sheet and a win to kick off the Rowett era! Edited 20 February by filbertway
Parker Pen Posted 20 February Posted 20 February I am looking forward to how he sets us up and the players he picks. But A clean sheet that guarantees at least a point would be good for starters, and a late smash and grab away win would be perfect!

A couple of wins and it will apply to us. (not really I know)
oxtonfox Posted 20 February Posted 20 February I'd love it of we beat them... 1-0. Memories of the Garry Parker volley in the 2nd leg of the play offs when we beat Stoke then Palace in the final under O'Neill...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 20 February Posted 20 February I fear we’re at the “must win” stage. My guess is that we go a lot more direct, it won’t be pretty but will be better. The result will be down to fine margins, close either way imo.
Lesta2014 Posted 20 February Posted 20 February Is Ayew injured? Not sure I saw him in training video from couple days ago. Hopefully not playing.
jimsmallman Posted 20 February Posted 20 February A few mates who are Stoke fans have told me that we are nailed on to win this as they are really struggling. Loads of injuries meaning they've got a kid playing in goal who is League Two level, they haven't got a striker who can score goals and their midfield has been decimated. Plus there are rumblings of problems between staff on the coaching team and bad morale in general. 3-2 Stoke win then (we're 2-0 up at half time) 4

The result will be down to fine margins, close either way imo. Don’t have to be long ball though, get it to the wingers quicker so they are one v one, get it into the 10 quickly if can break the line between their midfield and defence, so he can be facing the goal. The amount of times we got Mahrez 1 v 1 the year we won the league was huge. Fatawu go 1 v 1 with his full back first half against Southampton and scored a good goal. get stoke running towards their own goal early doors, get Daka pressing them and don’t allow them to sit and watch us with the ball infront of them going along the back four. all simple things I’m hopeful that rowett will implement.
Dan Posted 20 February Posted 20 February My biggest concern about Rowett from a tactical / personnel point of view is he seems historically to favour experience in his signings. This makes me think he's going to piss our most winnable game of the next month on Jordan Ayew.

wardyfox86 Posted 20 February Posted 20 February We'll need at least 3 goals to get anything with our defence, I don't know if I'm looking forward to this game so much as I'm intrigued by it. Tonight's result will be huge.
