It's not really shoehorning if it's been largely working. If Rudoni comes back and they still do it, you could could call it shoehorning but I'd imagine he'll come straight back in.
Tbf I can see people saying no way Rudi starts but I have no idea who they are talking to as I can't see it suggested anywhere. Pretty sure it's obviously after the international break now.
Their main reason for conceding so few is the goalie more than anything and for some reason he often has been well below his best vs us. Here's hoping for another stinker.
I think he plays Haji over BTA, that's just my gut and I'm not saying it's deserved. One of my fave players but periods of ghosting including since the last international break really. I think this is what we wanted though, good rotation options for a long season so yeh good problems for sure.
I'm interested to see what Frank does because Rudoni walks into this team. EMC is more droppable that Wright or Sakamoto but I think the left is where BTA is least effective. It's a good problem to have rather than just having a load of shite I suppose.
If I remember that game rightly EMC escaped into the area just before half time and we should have had a pen to go 3-0 and Stoke should have gone down to 10 men.
I don't agree, he saw what we saw and wanted to get 3 in midfield and thought BTA was undroppable so had to find him a place in that front 3. It didn't really work and I'd expect the team that started the second half to start this game.
We've done well without Rudi but it will sure be nice to...
Thought he was lucky to get Boro job after last season. Geezer loves the smell of his own farts though. He'll have 2 Prem relegations on his CV at the end of all this, as well as setting the wheels in motion for a Championship relegation.
It's only a short piece so i will actually just paste the rest below...
It’s not that their accents make them sound braindead – they actually are. The only time you will find a working brain cell in the whole of Stoke-On-Trent is if somebody from outside drives through or visits. They have no...
I knew it all along but as always it comes to your attention more when you are about to play a team, Stoke fans are absolutely pig thick. Our online fans are dickheads i know, but i'm just talking really really stupid specimens. I had to Google it to see if it was a thing and this is the title...
I'll be honest, i don't think Boro stay where they are. I expect them to fall off a bit and i don't think Edwards is all that. Might be his only chance to manage in Prem, even if its likely to be a disaster.
Even so I'd like to hear if they are having chats, whatever it involves. We know that egg headed cringe monster at Blues was sniffing all the right anuses. Maybe Doug needs to get his snout dirty.
I worry about Oxford and Pompey as you feel Blunts and Norwich (if they sack Manning) have more quality to put a run together. Hilarious if both went down though, no one thought Luton would for the longest time.
I said I'd bring this up and I know many people would like it asked based on previous engagement. Is Doug talking to any of the relevant people that might be able to make the calls on a better/more regular train service on a match/event day? I actually think this is pretty important for the...
