Yeah I don't think it's likely, just a possibility, but certainly still surprising if Sakamoto starts RWB after his comments after the Cardiff game. Hopefully good Eccles turns up today, rather than the evil Eccles we saw at Cardiff.

Could this also potentially be Eccles at RWB, Ayari and Kelly midfield and Saka as the no.10?

I think Ayari will be in the first 11 for a while once he's fully match fit. I think he should play further back alongside Kelly/Sheaf when available.

I think having Thomas back in would help with the link to the forwards. Obviously he made a fair few errors in one game, but he's really good at passing forwards through the lines and willing to step up and bring the ball out from defence.

I picked him thinking when we're 4-0 at half time, we can stick Eccles on and push Ayari up to attacking mid or go two up top.

I also believe our problems are midfield. Two midfielders who don't want to show for the ball and don't want to take risks. Both like getting stuck in and tracking back, which is fine, but that's not a balanced midfield. On tonight's showing Kelly would stay in to do that job. Playing Wright...

Yeah, I don't usually go in too hard on the negativity but this is the worst I've seen us play for a while. Created very little, and if you do that, you have to keep it tight at the back. Which we didn't do either.

New drinking game - do a shot every time Sakamoto feigns to cross with his left but then runs to the byline.

Good from McFadz, bad from lots of players, Eccles, DaSilva and Wilson

Surely just giving Ayari a chance to get up to speed with match fitness. I imagine we're going to see him at some point today after that half from KP!

Bit of urgency about our play since the goal

A gift. Fox in the box.

A fair comment

I'm not usually particularly negative but this is the worse I've seen us for a good good while. Eccles, Palmer, Wright, Godden all been very poor.

The strikers have had no service. The midfield cannot keep the ball or make anything happen.

Could have crossed it deep or took his man on, instead passed it back and fourth with the midfield

Da Silva is very good at recieving the ball in tight spaces

Surely no one said Stoke had a good window? They bought a few players "with championship experience" that were deemed surplus to requirements at their previous clubs...
