Bit too much overconfidence on the forum today? No easy games, and I think this one will be close…..

This isn’t a gimme. I don’t think these will come and play even though they play a high line. I think in the main it will be defensive and mid-low block and we have to break them down. Very different to Wednesday.

if we have an off day this has potential for a 0-1 however if we dominate and strong like we are, it should be a comfortable win, especially with an early goal.

Both games against stoke this season have been 1-0 separated by a wonder goal for each team. Going to be a tight, hard fought game

The needles seems to have swung from we've bottled promotion to this will be a win without question!

Having said that we should have enough to beat them but we need to not start the game with a performance like the first half midweek.

We could easily get beat today so everyone needs to be on it from the off,we beat them in a tight league game and then lost in the cup so it will be very tough an early goal or two needed to settle my nerves.

What a quote from the Stoke forum this is...

"Apart from scoring goals is there so much between these two teams? The way we played in the first 10-12 games + a lot of first half performances where we have played really well show we can compete with Coventry. We will need to keep a clean sheet or not concede more than one to get a result out of this, but I'd say they aren't that superior player for player"

"Apart from scoring goals".

Isn't that the whole point of the game?

Just been in the superstore on the way into the ground. Had a look at the new brown kit. Doesn't look brown, well. It's a very very dark brown. Nothing like the brown old kit.

I think this will be a tough game and the fans will need to get behind the team.

If we have an Oxford like 2 banks of 5 we really need that extra bit of support.

I hope we get an early goal.

Nervous like I am every game.

When we played them in the cup we gifted a few good chance in the first few minutes. Hopefully we are switched on.

That cup game we'd rotated a depleted squad.

I'm more confident today.

Overconfidence on the forum, just like negativity on the forum, will have no bearing on the outcome.
I'm sure Lampard has the players mentality spot on.

Was a weird game though. Lots of changes and both sets of support didn't really seem bothered.

Anybody else nervous? I will be by tomorrow!

Don't think I'll be seeing any game we have left as easy.

Ipswich play Swansea
Boro play Brum on Monday
Hull away at Pompey
Millwall have Preston away

It's more nerve racking than a relegation battle.
Click to expand...

Same. On paper Sheffield United away was probably our most difficult game, but anyone can beat anyone in this league so we can't be complacent

No need for nerves for this one. They're good in defence but crap at scoring. Score in the 1st half and we win. The longer it goes the more it looks like 0-0.

Nervous games are against those with an attacking flair

Suprised there's only one change, im sure there will be some tired legs in the second half. I'd expect plenty of subs from both sides, as 3 games in 8 days takes its toll.

He has the ability, skill and explosiveness to try something different and break through what I'd imagine will be a sturdy stoke defence
