Stoke (A) (FAC) Build-Up Thread 7/1/17

[Deutsch Wolf]

In recent times I've not been one to care too much about the cups - after all, the club brazenly haven't cared for a decade or more. But this year, with us having little to play for in the league, we may as well have a go. It's a tough game but Stoke haven't been in the greatest of form over the last couple of months and maybe we can pull off a result. So I'd be going with a strong team - if Prince is fit, I'd give Edwards a rest and let's see what the former can do, maybe an opportunity for Willo to get a game too, but otherwise first choice.

-----------------------------Ikeme-------------------------------

Coady--------------Batth-------------Williamson-------------Doherty (bleurgh)

------------------Oniangue----------Price----------------------------

----------Costa--------------Ronan-----------------Cavaleiro

---------------------------Bodvarsson--------------------------

Subs: Burgoyne, Iorfa, Hause, Edwards, Enobakhare, Dicko, Mason

 

[Nando]

Wouldn't be surprised if Ronan is saved to play in the Checkatrade game on the Tuesday.

I'm going to this and I'm looking forward to seeing an attacking performance even if it ends up 0-0. Still think Stoke will be too strong for us as Bojan, Diouf, Afellay and Bony will tear that back line apart.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bony moves like Leon these days, despicable attitude.

Still better than Danny Batth mind you.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not even Batth can get skinned by two players in Africa

I'm at this one and like Dan I hope we go for it...A cup run would be good for morale

 

[Johnny75]

oops.

Mike Jones is reffing this. Just when it looked like it was safe to come from behind the sofa.

 

[sycophantia]

Think DW's team would be spot on, pick that and just tell em to go out and play

I apologise in advance - so embarrassing to share the same name.

I think we will draw at Stoke, and win the replay. We are long overdue a decent cup run.

Ah good, the real Frank's backing

If I get to see a side like:

Burgoyne
Iorfa--Willo--Hause--Doherty
Prince--Ronan
Tex-------------------------Cav
Mason Bod​

I'll be a reasonably happy man (it shows how desperate we are at LB).

 

[Siggy]

I would be playing Dicko for this game, at the moment he looks a shadow of his former self and needs game time. Bod and Mason should be ahead of Dicko for the league at the moment IMO until he finds some kind of form.

 

[Kenny]

Ronan out with an ankle injury

 

[malta mick]

Ronan out with an ankle injury

probably for the best, save him from the Cloggers !

In which case I hope it's Price but I'm sure it will be the unmitigated waste of space that is Saville.

Evans is fit again isn't he?
