Team in v Stoke City

[davew]

weve seen bdr have some fantastic games in the past.

hope he grabs his chance today and has a good go.

My memory isn't that good, certainly he has a chance today, but can he take it?

[Woolly Mammoth]

Should make our players more determined

[Mince n Tatties]

Should make our players more determined

You'd  think that the case Woolly, hopefully so.

[Jurassic Parker]

A solid win without Wilson and Mitro would be a big statement.

What's the rules with COVID these days? Fortunately given the circumstances there's no midweek game, but will they be back next week?

[davew]

Amazing that the bookies haven't changed the match odds following our team announcement, 3/1 Stoke (good bet), 19/20 us (bad bet)!

I wanna see Stanfield in a big game

They have to show negative tests on day 5 and the morning of day 6, so hopefully both will be back for our next game.

I would prefer Stansfield.

[Twig]

I just hope that both. Intro and Wilson return with no lingering longer term effects. I know Omincon tends to be milder but there are still those who do suffer more severely. Fingers crossed!

I believe if they are unvaccinated it's 10 days in isolation, although I don't know if they are or not

Unfortunately next week is a non European international break. USA and Jamaica have three fixtures each. Robinson has been selected for USA. We could potentially lose BDR and Hector to Jamaica and we  have Seri away at the AFCON. If that turns out to be the case we will have legitimate grounds to postpone the Blackpool match.

[Southcoastffc]

Muniz against Jagielka and Chester could be interesting, his pace (and hopefully determination)v their experience. 

[ChesterTheTabby]

Muniz against Jagielka and Chester could be interesting, his pace (and hopefully determination)v their experience. 

This makes me nervous, he could well be frustrated by experience over his raw determination.

[filham]

We have been reasonably fortunate with injuries so far and have been saying we have good squad depth. Pressure now on BDR and Muniz to show they can trouble the Stoke defense.

Sounds like last man standing for the Blackpool match, damn!!

[Twig]

I know our squad has depth and even today the bench is ok. However it does strike me that suddenly there isn't really anyone on the bench who could be asked to come on and change the game if we are struggling. Good cover but no real game changer.

The bench is ok, it is the people sitting on it that worries me Twig.

Joe Bryan is more than adequate. We need our centre backs to remain fit, BDR is a blow and we'll
Need to figure out how to lineup without him now Wilson is out.

[Caedal]

While I appreciate the club trying to do the right thing regarding covid/AFCON we have arguably our best 3 players out (Mitro, Wilson, Seri). Other teams have been getting games called off for far less (Arsenal...)

It's a really tough game to be in this position. The positive is that we're 5 points clear so we won't lose top spot regardless. Let's hope Muniz and BDR come in and light it up

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

It won't be a 5 - 6 - 7 goals victory, but we have enough quality to win easily enough
