Stoke.  Hmmm.   Do we still need to concede two before scoring a few?

 

And I hope we let a Centre Back take a free kick into outer space, in homage to Bobby Huth.

 

 

Unfortunately Vestergaard will get forget to sky it and just knuckle ball blast it in to the top corner

These were proper shite against Southampton albeit they were on the end of an awful refereeing performance. It also sounds like half their team is injured. 
 

Going to be another game where the opposition have 10 men stood on each others toes across the width of the penalty area. Another one to just get through

This is a team I really want us to slaughter. I haven't forgotten going down in that shitpit. Horrible club in a horrible town. Put them to the sword 

That’s the spirit.

 

Why don’t we denigrate the whole of Staffordshire while we’re at it!

The way we are playing at the moment, I just feel super confident we will find ways to win. 

At half-time tonight, I just knew we had so much more in the tank, and so wasn't worried about not scoring. 

I think for a team like Stoke to beat us, we would need to make silly individual errors and have everything go against us. 

It's a nice feeling to feel this confident, and complacency now is the only thing we should guard against. 

We actually have another gear or two, and so rather than stagnating or having slip-ups, we should kick on and be even better!

Ben Wilmot left the bet365 Stadium on crutches and Ki-Jana Hoever is awaiting further assessment as Stoke City's incredible injury woes continued against Southampton. 
 

Alex Neil went into the mid-week game - a sixth fixture in 18 days - without eight players including six probable starters after a succession of major blows through the opening few weeks of the season. And a stretcher was then summoned for centre-back Wilmot when he crashed into a post while Hoever limped off in the closing stages. 

 

That led to a makeshift defence of Mehdi Leris - who had started the night at centre-forward - at right-back, midfielder Jordan Thompson at left-back, right-back Junior Tchamadeu - making his first Stoke start, as left-back - joined recalled Luke McNally at centre-half.

 

Centre-back Michael Rose (groin), left-back Enda Stevens (calf) and right-back Lynden Gooch (hamstring) were already on the sidelines and Stoke are hoping at least one of Rose or Gooch, who had both limped out of last weekend's win at Bristol City, will be declared fit for Leicester City away on Saturday.

 

Lewis Baker and Emre Tezgel were laid low by serious knee and quad injuries in pre-season and they have seen the treatment room gradually fill up around them. Ryan Mmaee, Andre Vidigal and Tyrese Campbell, which could well be Stoke's first choice front line, are all injured. Mmaee (hamstring) has missed seven-and-a-half matches, Vidigal has only played about 80 minutes in the last eight matches after taking a crunch on his ankle at Millwall in late August. Campbell sustained an injury associated with his hamstring in the early stages of a clash with Hull on September 27 and is probably still out for another couple of months.
