Team for Stoke

[Blue and White Tiger]

I have spoken to a mate from down under (New Zealand) who know's Chris Wood and spoke to him in the last couple of days and says he is likely to miss the cup game through the injury to his ankle that he picked up against Hartlepool.

So what would the team be without him?

I am guessing:

Brezovan

Calderon Greer Elphick Painter

Sparrow Bridcutt Dicker

Bennett

Barnes Murray​

Subs:
Poke
El-Abd
Tarrico
Kishishev
Battipiedi
Holroyd
Sandaza

Will be a big shame should Wood miss out. But better he is not risked if not 100%.

Otherwise think you may have it spot on. With Sparrow and Kish the only two I might swap

can't disagree with that at all, but do hope Wood is back as he's been class the last few games and I bet he'd love to play against a Prem side, to show his
WBA team mates what they are missing

spaz is injured though

I thought he was back in contention to play? It does make us a little short in CM, with Kish only just back, and AN still out. Shame Noone can't play in a 4-4-2

I thought he was OK now?

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

I forgot Dunk. He will be on the bench ahead of Tanno i presume?

Why Elphick over El-Abd out of interest?

 

[upthealbion1970]

On radio Sussex yesterday they said both wood and sparrow will be fit and available for Stoke, in the arsegas it said that Kish is back but will not feature

Why Elphick over El-Abd out of interest?

We have to give fringe players matches, and Elphick has impressed in the cup. IMO El-Abd and Greer are key to our league form and it is a good chance to keep one of them fresh

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

This sort of game is made for Kish to play a part - shame he's not match fit. Foot on the ball - control the middle. Spray a few passes about. Been a revelation this season.

 

[sydney]

fixtures ... already been done,pay attention at the back please...!!!

 

[Rookie]

Well that goes against what he said in the interviews and being back in training and hoping to play on Saturday. (Wood that is)

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I'd play DUNK with Greer.

Best in the air of all our centre-halves.

 

[The French Mistress]

Rather have Wood against Plymouth, personally.

Told you so.... :/
