We just have to play the players that started the second half yesterday. Try and run riot early doors then lock up after 60 when we are 2 or 3 nil up

Think this is a difficult game as assume they’ll try and spring a counter on us which we can be vulnerable on with our high line.

However likewise feel if we play at our best we could blitz them with how dangerous our attack can be

2-2

4-2-4 at Stoke? Can't see Frank playing that system away from home again.

Gonna be nervy.

Yeah I would go at them personally

I've been talking to my Stoke supporting mate, and he says that he'd be very happy with a draw. His point was that they've been a bit lucky so far, they've been giving up chances but opponents haven't been taking advantage. (To be honest, I've felt the same about us more than once!)

He thinks we're a lot more clinical and should win.

He did say that he's very happy with Robins, and in true football fan fashion, he's delighted that they're 18 points above the relegation zone!

I know that outlook only too well; I'm very used to calculating exactly what it will take to stay ahead of the teams just below us, I'm just not used to seeing no one above us. It feels... weird. I like it.

They play a very similar formation to us.. incredible in the transition so will be happy for us to have the ball

Their fans do seem a little over confident after 2 wins against a half dead Bristol City and a wasteful Oxford

I’d probably accept a draw right now but if we could pull off a win it’d put us in a fantastic position going into the season’s tenth international break.

When have we been in such a great position before , with goals galore coming from all over the team ?
Whoever we play , forget their results & let them ….. this time Stoke , worry about trying to stop the Skyblue juggernaut !
We are returning to normal service again , so let’s enjoy another big away win .
