Stoke City v Cardiff City, Medium Size Club This, Fug Me!

I’ll toss this into the ring (sorry)

- will City be unchanged again?

 

Judging by Warnock's comments about the away team's changing facilities at Stoke, they'd better change on the bus.

 

A bit lste, I know....but I think it might be a six finger shuffle in Masky's case. No offence, of course!!!!

 

Stoke are a different proposition to Watford. They are far more likely to do more with possession than the Hornets did. I definitely believe that we should try to avoid going a goal down in our former, traditional way and go for the jugular right from the start. NH needs to make good use of the 5 substitutes to maintain a high press, energetic game plan. Another good result should give us confidence for the derby game on Saturday. I'm just hoping that NH really has turned things around.

 

.......and so say all of us!

Stoke are far more aggressive tgan Watford and will be a different challenge. I can't see them hanging around - they'll go for it physically as well.

Attack is the best form of defence? In this case I would say so. Get the first one in and they could lose the plot.

 

Is that two hander with 3 fingers from each hand? More generous than me FFB.

Or are you suggesting something else, cast member from Deliverance maybe? I heard he plays a mean banjo.

 

Just wondering if we need to stiffen up our midfield against stoke.
We've not had much possession again the last couple games though seem to fare better playing that way.
Not sure if our midfield 4 is a bit lightweight for playing stoke.

 

Are you advocating Viagra?

Sorry remote - sinking to the depths with that comment.........

As far as the team selection is concerned, I'd start the same 11 again, but FFS freshen it up before the extra time board goes up this time.

 

Going to be a hard, physical game tonight. Tuesday night in December is never good. Apart from Bacuna how many of our players will wear gloves?

I know many have favoured starting with the same 11 again but in view of the physicality is there a case for resting Harris as the game may not suit him and playing Pack in front of (some might say behind) the back four?

Unless there are any fitness doubts that is the only change for me.

 

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see 4-5-1 with Pack in for Harris. He may even switch Hoilett for Ojo for the formers defensive work.

 

4141?
Pack in front of the back 4, ralls and wilson in the 2 midfield roles.

 

And there's me trying to get back on the straight and narrow and sparkey cocks up.

 

It must be the viagra.........

Shame on me........

 

Wouldn’t mind this scoreline again, Masky remembers this game.....Cameron went onto become PM I think!

 

I remember this - I believe this was part of a crucial run that helped to keep us in the division during our 2nd season up?

Cashed in on Jerome shortly after. Classic for that period

 

No change to the starting line up again.

It’s 7.45 - why did I think it was 8?

 

Bagan in for Hoilett on the bench.

 

On Sky Arena if you want it - starts at 7.40pm.

 

Fug!
