    Great atmosphere and a good performance (in context of the opposition). Davies is winning everything. We’re time wasting and I like it! We look a little weak defensively down our right though.

    Massive queues everywhere. ‘All the clubs fault’ according to fans around me. Idiots.

    That’s a shame - I was hoping for Crouch, as we can deal with long/high balls. I’m more worried about pacey strikers/wingers.

    Burge is an interesting call. Dropped or rested?

    Where have all the Stoke fans gathered pre game? There’s a mini bus load in the pub I go to pre game. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bit of trouble around the shopping park etc today, especially if we win.

    Disgraceful! You posted before I’d edited my post to include the :emoji_fishing_pole_and_fish: emoji. I was looking for a fire one but couldn’t find it. If it works - do it!

    Let’s hope the Ricoh have catered for the increase in attendance, both in terms of turnstiles and catering stations/staff. Also, guaranteed there will be some idiots sat in our seats, always happens when the glory supporters turn up :emoji_fishing_pole_and_fish:

    Quite excited for today now it is here. The atmosphere should be one of the best for a while and if we can at least stop then scoring for 70/80 minutes or even better score ourselves, it’ll be electric. As I posted previously, if we score first then we have a really strong possibility of...

    Signing - Jordan Maguire-Drew

    Are you surprised? The majority of our fans are clueless (~95% of this forum excluded). Probably the same ones who idolise Dale Evans and shout ‘forward’ for 90 minutes at games.

    Nobody likes SISU, in an ideal world they wouldn’t be our owners, etc etc etc. We all agree on that. However, when I’m at a game I’m not thinking about SISU, I’m focusing on the team I support.

    For all the bluster re prices, the truth is people just don’t want to go. That’s fine, everyone is entitled to make whatever choices they like, but don’t make it about something it isn’t. In terms of the game itself, they’ll either be absolutely up for it in a show of support for Hughes or have...

    2 - 0; McNulty and Biamou. The latter to finally score that elusive goal, which will be the start of his 15 goals for the season.

    Happy Christmas !!!

    Merry Christmas all. This forum may be full of contrasting opinions on everything from an individual player to our long term future, but whatever your views, if you’re on this forum (bar the odd obvious troll) you’re a die hard fan and that deserves respect. Always support your home town, no...

    I completely agree re Luton. The league is far from over, all it takes is a mini run and we’re top. And as we haven’t really had our mini run yet; we’re definitely winning the league.

    As has been said, DKE on the wing would severely shackle us, he tries hard and has some of the tenacity of his brother, but just isn’t that good at football or ready for the first team as it currently stands. Little hypocritical, but do we have another young winger we can give a chance to...

    Biamou

    I said DKE was a liability and contributed nothing yes, not exactly the same as your statement.

    Biamou

    I don’t recall him having that many headers to win last night, and even if he didn’t yesterday, generally in games he does. He’s getting physically stronger each game, again he’s very inexperienced as a professional. Your last point is ridiculous. We won in spite of him? So he contributed...

    Professional beggars in town

    I’ve noticed a significant increase in homeless people around England in general, but Coventry definitely has a high percentage, although that’s based on nothing more than my observations. Whether that’s an increase in genuine homelessness or scammers, who knows. I’ll happily buy food/drink for...

    Transfer Rumour Baker

    I like Shipley, but he isn’t a wide player, whereas Baker has played there a lot throughout his career - that’s my only reason for elevating Baker over Shipley in a wide position.
