We just have to play the players that started the second half yesterday. Try and run riot early doors then lock up after 60 when we are 2 or 3 nil up

Think this is a difficult game as assume they’ll try and spring a counter on us which we can be vulnerable on with our high line.

However likewise feel if we play at our best we could blitz them with how dangerous our attack can be

2-2

I've been talking to my Stoke supporting mate, and he says that he'd be very happy with a draw. His point was that they've been a bit lucky so far, they've been giving up chances but opponents haven't been taking advantage. (To be honest, I've felt the same about us more than once!)

He thinks we're a lot more clinical and should win.

He did say that he's very happy with Robins, and in true football fan fashion, he's delighted that they're 18 points above the relegation zone!

I know that outlook only too well; I'm very used to calculating exactly what it will take to stay ahead of the teams just below us, I'm just not used to seeing no one above us. It feels... weird. I like it. 😄

They play a very similar formation to us.. incredible in the transition so will be happy for us to have the ball

Their fans do seem a little over confident after 2 wins against a half dead Bristol City and a wasteful Oxford

When have we been in such a great position before , with goals galore coming from all over the team ?
Whoever we play , forget their results & let them ….. this time Stoke , worry about trying to stop the Skyblue juggernaut !
We are returning to normal service again , so let’s enjoy another big away win .

As mentioned they have so much pace and look to break quickly in transition, something we can be vulnerable with (Watford game a prime example) would definitely take a point there.

Dropping the leagues top scorer is crazy I know but I think the shape just looks better with EMC on the left

Why such negativity about this game?? don't you think they will be as worried about us, seeing how we've blown some teams away and fought back against others.

This is old pessimistic CCFC thinking ffs, we're in the new era now and should be more confident about this teams ability.
A third of the way through, we're 4 points clear, with a disgusting +goal difference, we are the real deal this year.

I haven’t been overly impressed with him this year. Lot’s of wrong position decisions especially regarding offside line. When he’s hot he’s hot, but he has to make that happen.
Edit: I see you were talking about BTA. I was thinking Wright.

I know we are free scoring at the minute but I would like to get back to keeping clean sheets, the amount of chances we are letting opposition teams get against us is a slight worry which I guess to some extent is because we can be light in midfield, so keep a clean sheet and score 3 we should be fine and cement our place at the top of the Championship and champions in waiting 😀
