Thinking on it, doesn’t grimes slot into a back three when in possession. If so might mean Kitching can protect JDS in the same way he did in a back three?

Defensively they’ll have worked on protecting both full backs in the 4
Bidwell just having a rest

Torp starting has to be good news.

Best option with Rudoni dropping out.

I'm not a huge fan of JDS but do we need the extreme histrionics every time he starts. He's a decent footballer, probably not as bad a defender as it might appear given that many of the issues down his side were as much down to Binks and his poor positioning.

I'm sorry but JDS is not a championship quality defender.
If he starts today I'd expect Stoke to target his area of the pitch to exploit.

Also I'd be worries if EMC is in front of him, because last week there were a number of times that EMC failed to track his man back which left Bidwell horribly exposed, if that happens to JDS we will come unstuck.

Last week Oxford had no available LB and as a result Sakamoto got an assist, a winning goal and m.o.m, with every one saying he's back to his best, I hope they are right, but I think the fact that he wasn't up against a decent defender played its part as well.

I just hope that Stoke don't take advantage in a similar way today.

Every game just seems huge at the moment and to be honest doesn't seem like you get any time to savour the 3 points because you're attention immediately turns to the next game which seems bigger than the last.
Great times!!

Arrived in good time, decent journey up. Parked up opposite the ground and now in the family zone as we were too late last time.

Lush day.

So JDS in for Bidwell and Torp in for Rudoni is that right?

For sure we will.

But it's happened so many times to usbefore.

I still think it will be a draw

Torp in
JDS for Bidwell
Eccles starting

hopefully Eccles has one of his decent days, JDS and EMC on that left hand side worries me, no real defensive capability….

probably right to manage Sheaf back in though, and maybe Bidwell didn’t have the best game last week, so fair enough

A Grimes, Eccles, Torp midfield is good.

Now I've said that, nailed on defeat.

I can only presume they rate Collins more but he’s more likely to fetch a fee and will be on more than Wilson, hence looking at trying to sell him in the summer.

If that were true you wouldn't risk an unnecessary 3rd wage and if you're able to move Collins on you'd then recruit.
