I'm happy with Esse in for Saka. Saka ran his socks off the other night and got battered black and blue.

I suspect he will come on from the bench, unless the game is already safe.

A really great option off the bench later in the game when their left back is tiring. I like the decision too.

As long as Esse keeps his fancy flicks and back heels to a minimum, tracks back and shoots like he did in the first couple of games (ie like Norwich), I’ll be glad. Think it will be another tight match against the best defence.

Takes me back when we had Maguire Drew!

Proper Prem class!

If he’s resting players due to tiredness, I’m surprised it’s Sakamoto and not EMC - he looked shattered, but then created two so that’s probably why.

Let’s hope we’re in a position on 55/60 mins to make a few changes.

Police on horses is old school football as well.

Police holding up the a444 to escort a couple of coaches. When did Stoke get ultras?

I suppose they had to step up from Neanderthals at some point.

 

[Nick]

I swear the turnstiles have been getting slower over the last 5 or 6

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Feeling nervous now

Some of that 11 won't make it

Or battered red and white

...that's a mental problem, not a physical one.

They may be elite level athletes but they play at a speed and intensity to match. 3 games in 8 days is going to tire them out. There's a reason players are more prone to injuries when playing lots of games in short periods of time - it's because it physically wears you out.

Clearly you know nothing of Stokes naughty 40s (N40) or the under 5s??

Back in the day they were not to be fucked around with.

[curly_tom]

That bench looks solid. Saka, Torp, BTA, Simms and Eccles.
Another win would be big today.

Rushworth needs a hat

This ref really

 

[fernandopartridge]

Think Haji should be opening his legs up to drive forward there rather than the lay off to EMC

 

[Nick]

That was going in
