Stoke had 28 shots , 12 on target last night and still lost. It ain't gonna be easy. Settle for a 0-0 and 1-0 against Rotherham next week

Is Waghorn injured? Would give him a start instead of Godden if not.
Think Hamer will come back in for Eccles which seems a bit harsh as I think he's done well the last few games.
Maybe Palmer for Allen too.
Nice to finally have options. Imagine it's too early for O'Hare though

Sheaf's suspended so will be Hamer and Eccles in the middle
Would start Palmer in the 10
Don't be surprised to see Callum on the bench
If fit Waghorn start over Godden (never thought id ever say that)

Second time this season we'll come up against an Alex Neil team. They're a bit consistent since he's been at Stoke so not really sure which Stoke we'll come up against. Would've been better if they'd won last night as he'll certainly be expecting a reaction from them on Saturday.

Waghorn is not a bad player at all! very experienced at this level and knows how to play from the front. i would be pleased for him if it eventually works out for him
Would definitely expect some minutes for O'Hare and Kelly off the bench
One player I am worried about in terms of fitness is Bidwell. Obviously with no cover he's playing every minute of every game in a position that takes a lot out of you.
Obviously he's doing great so far. Hopefully he can make it through to January and we can sign a backup/competition.

Suppose it would be Dabo LB Kane RB?

Think we would all take a point here
Keep the unbeaten run going
Tbf il not be too distraught with a loss as long as we win the 2 home games v Rotherham and Wigan next week as I feel they're '6pointers' and will be down there come the end of the season

You were distraught on another thread about 2 weeks ago. And now 2 weeks later you wont be too disappointed with a defeat. Lol

Yes really tough game here Stoke absolutely battered Rotherham the other day in all but scoreline. But I see another win here.
A draw would be fantastic result going into a run of hone games.

Why would we change what’s working for now while key players will be and continue to be out?
Seems not...

Yes Chief Hindsight I was, we were leaking goals at an alarming rate, Gyok was out of sorts, Hamer suspended every 5 minutes and a keeper who completely forgot what has doing.
Were still in the bottom 3 and are struggling to score goals, while it may not be panic stations, until were a comfortable 5 or 6 points above the the relegation zone il be worried

What worked on Tuesday was the box, that’s how we finished the game.

I was self-medicating with cough syrup and whiskey - the game prob helped contribute to that.

Think this will be a tough game. Sounds like they dominated their mid week game and are probably due a change of luck. They also have an extra 24 hours rest on us so might have a little more energy. This is where not starting Hamer on Wednesday will be of benefit though, and it would also be nice to have O'Hare on the bench to bring a bit of energy of our own if needed. If I were MR I would also be tempted to bring in Waghorn for Godden if he's fit and possibly Palmer for Allen. I'd be happy with a draw right now.
As much as it's working in terms of the result I wouldn't say we've deserved to win either game. Defensively digging in has got us over the line. Godden has been a passenger

Stoke away is always a tough game, but playing an in-form Coventry City is a tough game, we are equipt to get a result v anyone and I think we’ll get a result Saturday.

I'd put Kane in for Dabo.
Thought he'd turned a bit of a corner prior to Wednesday but he was poor.
Change in style doesn't require him as an outlet as much either. Bench him and let him pull himself together.

Couldn’t disagree more. Dabo was facing Ben Osborn and I thought he played him very well.
