But even a good defence will have shots against them. And when a defence don't trust their GK (us various times over the years) they can't play their natural game. And it isn't just the constant mistakes that cost us goals and games. We need someone who can command their area. A GK who will...

Which can be the difference between having a good GK and having a Wilson or Collins.

Sorry but I'd prefer to be bored 😆

Must be some kind of misunderstanding between us here as it shows countless times the type of balls forward to the wingers I said.

Which is where the wingers normally are?

And always when unexpected. I suppose the opposition just expected him trying to keep possession.

Best of both worlds with Grimes to me. Always looking for the ball and very rarely loses it. But then you get it where he plays a 30 yard pass perfectly to unlock a defence. And to add to this there's a good chance he has missed less games through injury in the last 10 years than some players...

I don't think Rudoni will be going anywhere just yet. And if get promoted this season i can see him staying for at least another season. But Prem sides throw money about all the time. All it takes is a side like Newcastle to put something like a £30m bid in for it to become very tempting.

Have you seen his long and accurate throws? Would you get out your seat for a 1v1 against the GK?

Can we have another vote now to see if Wilson should start? 🤔

What it does mean is if our opponents are nearly all in our half we have a new weapon. Do we play out from the back where they try to pin us back or do we bypass most of their players directly from the GK. Should give us more space in taking the ball forward.

It certainly does but let's see if we sell any of our big players to recoup the money first. But this is about the most confident I have been pre season for a very long time.

We still have nearly 3 weeks for things to happen. The one thing I would love to see is Rudoni still with us when the transfer window closes. He is the 1 player we wouldn't be able to replace.

It's not new. They've been a joke for years.

The part i don't get is how many of us watched us in games where we dominated most of the possession and the opposition GK had a great game and we have 2 shots on target against us and 2 goals against but still think we need better strikers so we can score more goals than the opposition instead...

It's hard to say. Trump has millions of followers and he does nothing but chat shite.

I said about players like Armstrong. Not good enough for the Prem but very good in the Championship. Not got a clue how he did or how they played him at WBA. Maybe he is on his way down already. But I'm all for bringing in experience if good enough.

Money pissed up the wall if we get promoted? If a player like Armstrong joins us and is a part of getting us promoted he would be worth every penny.

I can think of a massive positive for Stoke. We don't have to live there.

We had better sell Sheaf like you say because at this rate we would have to pay £5m to sell him next season.
