lickierambert Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 I make our likely starting 11 this Saturday costing approx £15 million, with around half of that on J Rod. It goes to show how well we've recruited certain players and brought youngsters through over the past 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 This should be a simple home win, and there's little reason to think otherwise, but Stoke shouldn't be underestimated, even though they're a different team than the Pulis-run team of old. Head would take a draw, but I'm going with my heart for a 2-0 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 Trying to remember how the game went at their place after the freak goal at the start. Think we passed around them most of the game but didn't really open them up. Can expect as much tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 Ryan Seager on the bench? There was an article about him on the OS the other day, scoring again apparently. I think Isgrove is more likely to be used as an attacking option on the bench, as he trains with the first team. Seager is on the bench for the U21s vs Arsenal this afternoon (and Reed in the starting 11) so, yep, looks like Isgrove will be on the bench.

Isgrove is in the starting 11 as well to be fair. Both he and Reed could still make the bench. Reed played against Charlton in a friendly just 24hrs before he played against Sunderland in the League Cup if I recall correctly. EDIT: I don't see Rowe on the bench so maybe he has a chance with the first team squad tomorrow? Unless he is injured of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's come off after 5mins of the second half to be replaced by 16 year old Josh Sims. Unsure if injured, tactical, or to rest him as he may be in the matchday squad tomorrow.

the saint in winchester Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 Not sure why some so obsessed with Cork v Big Vic. They are t different players who play different roles depending on our need.. Cork offers far more creativity' date=' [b']big Vic is the disrupter[/b]. Each play a part in a squad game. We can't judge Vic on last weeks return from his injury, needs sharpness etc. I would play him, Stoke have some big units That would be my thinking too. They are a physical team. Big Vic may be needed to snarl back at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A27 around the Swan at Mansbridge was closed today and so was Stoneham Lane just north of the Concord Club by the AC Delco sports ground where there was a big puddle yesterday and there was apparently a vehicle stuck in the middle of it. That would explain the problems around J5. It's probably worth checking the situation tomorrow.
