That was always their big problem, they didn’t actually sell it anywhere. I’m glad some marketing guru has now given them the idea to put it in a shop somewhere.

Gladys' Handbag Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Anyone know where Mel is? There's some bloke called Peter Coates outside Pride Park wants to see him. Something about wanting his money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Will be a tough game against Leeds next weekend, although I can see them getting tired/frustrated if we can keep them out early doors. They started well but tired in the second half, their fans seem to be getting carried away already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just looking at Stoke's squad. It wouldn't surprise me to see them play three at the back like we did under Rowett. They've got the players to do so. More so than Rowett had here at Derby. Shawcross, Indi Martins and Ashley Williams in a back three. McClean one wingback, get in another on the right to replace Bauer. Etobo and Allen in midfield, then Bojan, Ince and Afobe as a front three. Means Bojan and Ince wouldn't have to track back as much, while they can play more centrally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game has been shambolic for Stoke. Leeds look full of energy but sloppy and playing against a very poor Stoke side...I'm nervous about next week but can't see why we can't beat them if we play to our potential. Maybe he was tired after his acrobat-ics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It's difficult to read much into a game like that. Leeds with a promising early season performance and a promising win, but they also started really well under Christensen last year and then faded. Will it be different under Bielsa? Will coaches find a way to neutralise them? It'll be interesting to see. If we play like we did on Friday, Leeds will be a real handful for us and we might be on the end of the thumping that Reading threatened to give us at times. I always thought that Rowett would find the job difficult at Stoke. I never imagined that he would come in and Stoke would cruise to the title. Today's result can't be much of a surprise - it's not as though his teams are immune from being made to look ordinary. Sheffield United and Bristol City away last season spring to mind. But surely they will improve. Rowett just might not be there to oversee that improvement. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffle Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Regardless of the result, I think this goes to further prove why the Championship is the most competitive and exciting league in England. I think appointments like Bielsa and Lampard capture imagination and the quality of players is always improving. I much prefer it to the Premier League.

Sparkle Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Leeds were very impressive ( for them) stoke - well let’s just say there were some very big holes - cue bids for Vydra and Huddlestone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
