| Team against Stoke. 21:17 - Dec 6 with 2672 views | Nutkins_Return | Will be an interesting one given we play Wed rather than Tuesday but you still have to think it will be normal changes. We already know Hirst can't play after reach 5 yellows. Walton Furlong Oshea Greaves Davis Azor Cajuste Mcateer Akpom Clarke Azon I do wonder if Egeli might start again as he's on a roll. |  |

| Team against Stoke. on 21:28 - Dec 6 with 2156 views | BouncebackIpswich | Why on earth after a good win would you want to take out some of the best performers - Nunez and Egeli - bring in the underperforming wasteman Akpom and underwhelming Mcateer? As well as taking out Kipre and Taylor after solid games for no reason at all other than ROTATION The sad thing is, he'll probably do this, we'll lose and wonder why we can't pick up a head of steam. |  | |  |

Exactly. Im not saying I know better than McKenna but it seems to me that team cohesion >> team freshness. [Post edited 6 Dec 21:32]

I wouldn't be against having the same 10 starters with Akpom replacing the suspended Hirst. Think Azon is great to have come on with 15 or so minutes to go and cause a bit of chaos. |  |

If we're going to play Akpom, and I'd rather we didn't, then it's better he's leading the line rather than number 10. He might have something to offer as a 9 but as a 10 in our system you might as wel just be playing with 10 men. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

|  |
| Team against Stoke. on 22:02 - Dec 6 with 1930 views | StokieBlue | Can't rotate Egeli, he's young and should be able to handle the matches and he's simply miles better than McAteer. Not sure Nunez can be rotated either. We need to start winning these games and Stoke aren't mugs. SB |  | |  |

No you are right but they'll be smarting after today though |  |

He was so good today, really offers something going fowards as well. Him and Dara is a great partnership in this league |  |

| Team against Stoke. on 23:05 - Dec 6 with 1641 views | itfcsuth | You wouldn’t want to tinker too much to a statement victory, Saturday to Wednesday both at home isn’t a massive stretch is it? Walton Furlong - O’Shea - Kipre - Davis Matusiwa - Taylor Egeli - Nunez - Philogene Azon |  | |  |
| Team against Stoke. on 23:08 - Dec 6 with 1627 views | SomethingBlue | Not sure we'll see both Akpom and Azon start – we probably need a CF option on bench given Hirst is out. Otherwise I wonder whether he may be tempted to roll with the same team. |  |

No one deserves to be dropped( rotated) after today's game, just Azon to replace Hirst |  | |  |

No offence but I hate that lineup. Ashley Young! Please no more of him. Legend of the game and all that but he’s been dreadful when he’s played. Just stick with Furlong, we don’t need to keep rotating him he was pretty much ever present at West Brom for the past 4 years. Cajuste cant play in a 2 either, keep Taylor in. I’d also leave SWE and Nunez, got to keep playing together to build those partnerships. Clarke and Philogene rotating I’m ok with despite JP having a very good game today. Ivan for Hirst as an enforced change fine. |  | |  |

I think the fact it's at home means we may see less changes. I do expect Cajuste to come in and obviously Hirst change at the minimum but we'll see. Stoke will be very much looking at a reaction. Sounded like Robins wasn't going to hold back and he expects a reaction. |  |

| Team against Stoke. on 23:39 - Dec 6 with 1448 views | E_I_E_I_E_I_O | I’d argue Egeli is our best player in the squad and McAteer our worse certainly on form. I’d be amazed if he continues with the overhaul of forward changes. FWIW I think eventually we could see the 3 behind the striker as Philogene Egeli and Clarke with Egeli in the middle. |  | |  |
| Team against Stoke. on 09:25 - Dec 7 with 1230 views | NthQldITFC | Walton Furlong O'Shea Kipre Davis Azor Taylor Egeli Nunez Philogene Akpom Now is the time for minimal changes, I think. We can do this because of the rotation policy we've rightly used up until now (and will hopefully use again for Leicester) I'd go with Akpom as the 9 and Azon as the impact sub. Only other change I might make is Clarke for Philogene as both are on fine form, but on balance I'd stick with Philo for Sturk. I'm feeling for Greaves (who never looks unhappy on the bench) but Kipre is just superb at the back AND going forward at the moment. |  |
|  |
| Team against Stoke. on 09:32 - Dec 7 with 1199 views | GlasgowBlue | With that extra day rest I would make just the one change with Hirst being suspended. I’m still not convinced with Azon as a starter. He seems far better coming in when defences are tired. Maybe go with Akpom? |  |
|  |
| Team against Stoke. on 09:36 - Dec 7 with 1171 views | Blue_Uprising | The same 10 with Ivan in for Hirst. Let the team get their mojo going. Don’t take players who have scored and created goals yesterday out for others who are low on confidence and not creating. |  | |  |

Agree with this lineup. Philogene, Ivan, Cajuste, Szmodics off the bench. |  | |  |
| Team against Stoke. on 09:46 - Dec 7 with 1115 views | Pinewoodblue | Wasn’t that Hirst’s 4th yellow, not 5th. No changes for me same starting eleven. |  |
