Stoke Away Pre Match

Recommended Posts

Posted

I know he have Millwall before this, but the main thing I'm wondering at this stage is how seriously we're taking this? We've had a lot of fixtures in a short space of time, do we approach this as an unnecessary sideshow and rest players for vital league matches, such as Derby, or do we put a full strength side out?

I'd put money on NP putting an under-strength side out. I'm not a fan of putting out a reserve side as I love the FA Cup but I'm prepared to make an exception this year as we need our main men fit.

dont belive in all this 'we need to concentrate on the league' a good cup run is always good for morale, these players are paid that much so they can handle a few games in a week

Stoke will almost certainly rest players the game is between two tough premier league games against Everton and Liverpool. Premier League survival will be number one priority and the closeness of the league means they can't afford to lose any ground.

I think we will rest one or two but put out a reasonable side, the other side of resting players is others get match fit, if injuries do pop up.

I would go

Kasper

Moore

Wasyl

Miquel

Konch

Knocky

Hammond

King

Vardy

Nugent

Waghorn

Attach them and let Drinky, Morgan, Dyer, James have a little rest.

Since when did a person's wage make them oblivious to fatigue?.

They are bound to get a penalty against you or something having complained to the FA about not getting fair treatment.

Think you'll get a draw.

That'd be the worst result imo
Posted

I think he'll play:

Kasper

Was

Morgan

Miquel

Konch

Knocky

King

James

Dyer

Nugent

Vardy

And then subs. Logan, schlupp, Moore, Cain, Hammond, GTF, Waghorn

Posted

Give as many of the bench players as possible a full game. Was, King, Miquel, Hammond, Waggy, Schlupp and GTF. Play an aggressive attacking game in a bid to win it outright, and if we lose, so be it.

Id hope theyd change as many ss poss but I think pearson wont want to adjust too much

shame wood still out would have been an ideal game to come back to

kasper

wasyl

morgan

miguel

schlupp

king

hammond

james

hopper

gtf

waggy

Anyone suggesting we play the reserves needs to cast their mind back to Huddersfield last season. Continue the momentum with 2/3 changes max.

 

I'd rest Drinkwater, Dyer and Nugent.

Posted

900 tickets left.

Kasper

Wasyl

Moore

Morgan

Schlupp

Hammond

King

Waggy

Danns

Knocky

GTF

4-2-3-1

Think this will draw and go too a replay.

PUB!

 

Copied from Football Ground Guide.

 

If arriving by train then the Terrace Bar on Leek Road has been designated as an official away fans pub. The pub which is only five minutes walk from the railway station (turn right out of the station entrance, left at the crossroads and the pub is down on the left) also shows Sky Sports and offers food too. The shuttle bus to the ground (return cost £3 adults) that runs from near the station, also stops at the pub and returns after the game.

 

That's me sorted then!

correct - whatever the reason, tampering with the side at this time last year had a bad effect on the subsequent results it may just have been a coincidence but it cost us

lol

With all the stuff in the league Id completely forgotten about the Stoke game.

Nasty little fixture this one. Stoke arent a good Prem side but they'll probably grind us down and big Crouch will sneak a winner.
