I'll be invading the pitch and throwing my ticket at Mr Sherwood if it's only 5-0!

From the Upper Trinity? Bring a parachute or some form of abseiling gear, then.

I'll drop you over first to cushion my landing.

I will happily take a solid 1-0!



With the renewed hope and optimism around us at the moment I look forward to a repeat of that Sunderland game!

Over to you Captain Ron....

My guess on sherwoods first team selection

----------------Guzan -------------------
Hutton.    Vlaar (c). Clark.  Cissoko

Bacuna.   Delph.  Cleverly.   Sinclair. 

            Benteke.   Weimann.

I don't know much about other clubs these days, but I'm assuming Stuurk have a midfield of some description. I'd love a four like that playing in front of Westwood or Sanchez, buzzing around an in-form Benteke. But we all know the big fella's not been at his best of late, so I reckon he'll go with your two up top, and Westwood in for Bacuna. Sherwood might be more adventurous than his predecessor, but he's not Keegan!

[PeterWithesShin]

Stoke players definitely out: Shawcross, Muniesa, Cameron, Ireland, Bojan.

Doubts over: Pieters, Wilson, Walters, Crouch.

[Brend'Watkins]

I think we'll score goals, lots of goals, maybe even 4 goals.

Hope Gil is fit

[Legion]

Also scores.

With Huth out on loan also, do they have any recognised CB's available? I've no idea about who their fringe players are

[adrenachrome]

Physioroom report Gabby and Carles both out with no return date. Senderos available on 21st Feb.

I think he will go with that team Silihill posted. 442 at got become 433. Plenty of crosses with Stokes back four shot to pieces.

[UK Redsox]

3-1 Villa -Benteke back on track. Sinclair and Gil very instrumental
