Are you wanting to drop Murray?

If we get three points vs Stoke, I may well celebrate with a half of cider.

I ask you why, why, why?

Although Glenn has hit a bit of form yes I would prefer Ulloa on Saturday. Leo brings more to the table that would help in a tough away game. From his 40 minutes so far I dont think he has given the ball away much if at all. The ball sticks to him so he can bring others into play. Glenn? A half-hit shot off his knee, a penalty and an admittedlty well-taken goal v West Ham are an excellent return but 4 in 4 (on the law of averages) is a big ask. I just think there will be more of an all-round threat with Leo up front.

Going to put my Cup Fever to one side for now and concentrate on Stoke's "biggest game for 10 years".
Press conference today, isn't it ?

I hope we are also treating it as our most important game for 10 years, and not letting any Cup Fever divert our focus until after the game.
I'm totally thinking about the Coventry game, and almost forgetting about this one
Unlikely that many players will be involved in both games so I shouldn’t worry too much.

I agree with this. I'll settle foe a point right now.
Me too. Whatever Hughton does, he has to do whatever it takes to make sure we don't start like we did up there. We know we can beat them, we really ought to have done so at home.

I can't argue with your reasoning. We looked better with Leo on the pitch.
However I don't think Chris will drop an in form Murray. I also don't think he should.
Murray is currently the top scorer of any team in the bottom half of the table.
He is the sort of player who will always get something on it. 3 in 3, however they come, are absolute gold dust.
If the luck is running for you, stick with it.
There will come a time when Leo will start.
I think he will keep the shirt from that moment, but for now, it's Murray's shirt to lose.
Nice to have some competition for a change though, isn't it?

My biggest fear is that, as at Huddersfield and West Brom, we simply won't turn up.
I can't explain why it happened but those were two crucial games and we were at our very worst - totally uncompetitive.

Mindset should be compete for every ball and show intent to score from the off. I fear a sitting back whilst trying to contain them, a set piece (probably) goal in the first 10 and the crowd will be up for it and a long afternoon is my expectation though.

Stoke aren't quite the same sort of team they used to be. They didn't score from a set play last week but conceded from one, so maybe this is finally the game where Dunk or Duffy get on the end of something. That said, I also fear a Huddersfield/West Brom repeat, because that's what we do.

Lambert is an excellent man manager, and that was seen when he took the helm and they got a few points in the bag. But that has gone now, his arrival is old news and, most importantly, his squad is shite.
