Bring on Bent. Remember him?

He'll seal this game.

for who?

Guzan. He did nothing first half.

Stoke lose this and their will be another manager causality

Cant see that happening until the summer if it does .

Shit just looked at the table, Newcastle aren't out of this. Wigan have two games in hand, thought only one.

BBC Sport have at least got something right


Half Time
The players leave the pitch

Bring on Bent. Remember him?

He'll seal this game.

for who?

Depends how the game is going. I wouldn't bring him on yet.

Could take off Bowery and go 4-2-4

Give Bent 20 mins if it is still 1-0.

[Rigadon]

Kightly on for Etherington.  Didn't see that coming.

They must be trying to attach down the wing or something.

[JUAN PABLO]

kightly on for them

[oldtimernow]

Bit windy today Dan!

[seanthevillan]

Bowery again!

[neo_Villan]

We could desperately do with an early 2nd half goal. If we do, their crowd will turn against them.

Agreed, game should be over by now, another goal and the crowd will turn on pulis and his men.

I'll stick my neck out and say that Stoke don't have it in them to come back from two down.

[JUAN PABLO]

got to be scoring that

[Rigadon]

Must score one of these.

[neo_Villan]

Grrrr. Great turn by Bowery though.

[Summers]

christ. another chance. great turn, shoulda scored.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

Delph is twice the player he was at the start of the season.
