No Dabo ?Changes surely need to be made,Robins said it was a game too far (as well as blaming the pitch) but I think we all agree we need Giles back in the side.Jamie Allen played well ok they sat off him at times but looked good at CDM.Godden has no choice but to start now with Walker out.

MR could use the Wednesday defeat as a reason to shake things up a bit and I do think we've got players in need of a rest. Main one I think is McCallum but he seems to be a bit of a favourite and against a physical Stoke MR may want to keep him in, although i'd swap him for Giles.
Up front is a quandary if Walker is out and I don't think Godden will be ready for a full game yet and we really don't want to risk him reinjurying himself and both our main strikers are out. Baka was useless yesterday but Biamou wasn't much better. Could we bring in Shipley to play off Biamou? But he's hardly looked up to speed either.
Midfield we're again looking at bare bones, but at least Hamer is back (I hope MR has been told he's available)

Think Camp was a complete waste of everybody’s time.
i think McCallum looks more in need of a rest than Dabo. Besides which Dacosta is now available who's a naturally right sided defender. Why put a round peg in a square hole when you've got a square peg available?
Our best outlet all season is Ryan Giles and the manager won’t drop his favoured McCallum for him regardless if McCallum has been poor and clearly tiredOne of our best outlets is Dabo...why would you drop him when he is playing his way to fitness and still better than anyone else at the club?
Stoke have been strong until the last couple of games. We need our best out there. Godden not ready for 90 minutes so Max leads the line. We must be strong in the middle so, Hamer, Sheaf and Allen looks the best option.
McCallum is inconsistent of late, and may need a break so Giles to come in. That will give us a good option to attack with both wing backs.
Is Hilsner anywhere near match fit? DeCosta is not ready for 90 minutes and too many changes would disrupt the team.
No reason we can't get something here. Godden will come on and I hope it's not in the last 10 minutes.
We should start with them both v StokeOur best outlet all season is Ryan Giles and the manager won’t drop his favoured McCallum for him regardless if McCallum has been poor and clearly tired
Except Hamer does something unlike Allen as he just chases shadowsI wouldn’t drop our only out and out DM, Allen and Harmer too similar in the role they do.

I agree. With this. But i guess he's trying to accommodate Giles. From the start.I wouldn’t drop our only out and out DM, Allen and Harmer too similar in the role they do.
Robins is the manager and it is clear he sees Sam as a better option than Giles. I agree. To say Sam has been poor is wrong in my opinion but I would like to see Giles forward of him on the pitch.Our best outlet all season is Ryan Giles and the manager won’t drop his favoured McCallum for him regardless if McCallum has been poor and clearly tired
He actually made it (Albeit briefly) to the premiershipI think Sam McCallum has been great this season. Non league (Herne Bay) to The Championship in 2 seasons? Looks more confident every time I see him, and think the lad has a big future.
Fair enough probably should have mentioned I didn’t see the Sheffield gameAllen did really well against Sheff Wednesday in the defensive mid position. If not the best, one of the best on the pitch.
Agree - if Da Costa is up to 90 minutes
Yes - agree, but don't want either breaking down. I'd sooner play Pask than risk that.Ideally yes but even if he's likely to be burned out after 60-70 minutes each game for a while and Dabo has to take his place it'll still be a bit more of a rest for Dabo than he'd otherwise be getting.
