Stoke @ Home Build up

[SB]

So is this a 515pm kick off? My chances of seeing this live are looking brighter but still I haven't made travel plans.

Any injury concerns for this or is it an unchanged line up? Starting to get a bit excited.

Sturridge is apparently feeling very good and could even start!

Matip definitely out.

I wonder if Wijnaldum will be rested?

No need to rest Weeji until Sunderland game. Sturridge coming in for Origi might be a good idea as Divock seems a bit off the boil recently.

Harsh, aside from the Everton game he's been very good.

I was hoping to be here for this match but despite the stellar efforts of Baitman & Dom it wasn't meant to be. I have managed to get 2txt to see Derby & Birmingham though which is only 30 mins from where I'm staying at present. Should be able to get out of there & into the nearest pub to watch our match though.

That's a shame mate. Enjoy the atmosphere at least... and the decent kick off time!!

Yep it is a shame but I did catch the 2matches in Oz at least. Never been to Pride Pk so another first for the lad & I.

****ing annoying we aren't even playing today while all around us have 3 piss easy points. Got badly stitched up with this schedule.

Lets take it out on Stoke and beat the **** out of these!!!!

Not such a bad thing. Funny feeling somebody will drop surprise points....could well be Chelsea only getting a draw. This then will push us on tomorrow

[Charly]

Either that or the pressure will crumble us to itty bitty pieces...

Nah, lets **** em!

[Rigadon]

Utd and Spurs (in 6th and 5th respectively) are 4 points behind us. We really need to win this game.

[Fosterbloke]

At least knowing our rivals all scored three points yesterday will eradicate any complacency.

[BigChief]

Yep fingers crossed we don't play like drunken idiots. Play our game and we could extend our goal difference by a decent margin though would settle for 3 points obviously.

Yesterday's results couldn't really have gone any worse. We absolutely need a win.
