Stoke Build-up

[Cormack74]

Hated us going there. Goes back to that horrible League Cup semi final we contrived to lose. Always ****ing lost there, hardly ever even scored.

I went there once 88 or 89, I think we won 4-0, Beardsley, Mc Mahon et al.

The Boro crowd were chanting for us by the end.

Edit just realized that it would have been at Ayresome so maybe your point still stands.

Westerveld and the icy ball, 2002?

I remember that semi as well, didn't Paul Merson play in it? He had a good game from what I remember. The ****.

I was thinking of 1998 ish.

I would start Coates instead of Carra.

Stoke will play many high balls into our box and that is his strength to deal with balls like that. They will use Delap and his long throws to cause even more havoc in our box.

Carra isn't great dealing with tactics with that. Coates won't have a problem doing that.

It would be different if we played against a team that played the ball on the ground.

This is exactly the type of game will can use Coates in and get him some playing time.

Read somewhere that Delap had a hamstring injury and was doubtful for the game. Wouldn't hurt.

I ****ing love it when Kenny gets stuck into the press.

"Andy's lifestyle is nothing like what you'd like it to be to get your stories."
