lookwhaticando Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Stoke tonight, then! I'm going for a pukka 2-1 win. Got a feeling Stearman's gonna score. Funny that. Huuuume will be firing on all cylinders and will only be kept from scoring more than once by the goalkeeping heroics of the Stoke keeper, whoever he is. Let's get back to winning games.

Suffolk_fox Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Luckydoodoo opening the match thread? There's something you don't see everyday....

Strokes Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Stoke are on fire at the minute, we have to be solid at the back. I'll 1-1 with Welsh scoring late on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Tough game with them comming off their win against hammering of Norwich... still it's at home, our defence has been pretty decent (even if we are without McAuley) also I get the sense their wont be an experimentation with Maybury/Stearman on the right, though i could see Stearman going into the centre to stiffle Hendrie... but in the end i think that job will go to Weso... any news on Hughes and Williams?

davieG Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 With all the injuries With the hefty run of games With the speculation of a take-over - their jobs being on the line and their minds being elsewhere With Stoke on a roll With us struggling to win games I would expect nothing short of a defeat. So another draw it is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Hughes may be back, Williams is out. It'd be good to have a 'proper' midfield player in the centre tonight... also with any luck, without Cook on the left, RK wont feel the need to station a defender on the right wing... only problem is that gives you Sylla or Low, perhaps Hughes with Tiatto in the centre... but personal I'd be tempted to give Sylla a start out there... the threat from Stoke will come down the middle i expect anyway.

Bert Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Bitch I think we're gonna win 2-1 Hume to score our equaliser and Fryatt the winner. Anyway, let's put a good show on tonight, not just for investors but for the boys as well, come on you blues!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Sylla or Low are suggested for our right side I wince. Or Maybury, or Hughes, or Stearman. Howard Riley's still around and looking trim ... pity he can't turn back time and demonstrate what the role really entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Should be a very hard game. I'm not sure whether to expect anything from this. I reckon 2-1 Stoke with kisnorbo getting an equsliser for us, and then them scoring a 65th min winner. Hope I'm wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Riley's still around and looking trim ... pity he can't turn back time and demonstrate what the role really entails. We've really got no one else to, realisticly, stick on the right... and with so many players out and Maybury and Stearman's performances on the right (no reflection on the later's performance in the centre against Villa) Sylla would seem to be the least worst option... much as it's surprised me, he was almost "ok" the last few times he played.

Thracian Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Sounds bloody windy out there right now. Kelly knows nothing else but the hard-to-beat approach. There's no evidence to show Kelly will ever play expansive football apart from just at specific times, like trying to grab an early lead. So it'll be all the usual suspects and all the same limitations. Logan; Kenton, McCarthy, Kisnorbo, Nils; Stearman, Hughes, Tiatto, Welsh; Hammond, Hume. God that looks dour. But it might get a draw. I see we're joint leaders in the draw stakes once again. Sadly though, if Stoke really go for it I could see us getting walloped and I hardly ever feel like that. But where will our goals come from? How will we retain possession for any length of time?. Even on our bench I cannot imagine either COG or Fryatt will be properly fit. Nor Porter, assuming he's still at the club. Weso and Williams are out, King doesn't seem to be in with a chance or Gradel, or Odhiambo. We're not likely to change to 4-3-3 and I doubt McCarthy's really ready for action either. Altogether, if we do any good tonight it'll be an achievement. Kelly's missing his chances to get others involved who might assist in giving us better options. Those opportunities won't even be considered when the injuries start clearing. What I'd like tonight would be: Maybury, McCarthy, Kisnorbo, Nils; King, Stearman, Tiatto; Hammond, Hume, O'Grady. That's presuming Porter and Weso are not fit. On the bench: Henderson, Kenton, Gradel/Porter, Hughes, Fryatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_j101 Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 Says on BBC Fryatt could be back tonight - I thought he was out for a few more weeks. Good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlashman Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 I think 3-1 City. Huuuuuuuume opens the scoring with Fryatt getting the last two (If he's playing) and Stoke to get a Last minute wonder goal as a consolation prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_jme Posted 31 October 2006 Share Posted 31 October 2006 'Free scoring Stoke' may well run away with this one because of our lack of creativity. I'm going for Stoke 3-1 (I'm aware my prediction has changed since the prediction league but that's just one of those things ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
