Stoke City v Derby County

The 3rd league meeting of the Cocu era sees the relatively short trip down the A50 to entertain the Potters at allegedly the 'loudest' fans in history .
Cocu still seems to perfecting his perfect team and I don't think he has settled on his final eleven. Having Bogle out for some weeks is bad news - what is it about us and full backs?
Stoke have still to register a point and will be dangerous opponents, Derby still have show a 'distinct style of playing but I do think it will happen.
After the shenanigans of #WR32 and the puerile observations of a government minister ( ffs, from a government which delayed the demise of FOBT, then lectures us the dangers of the Rooney coup).
Still, it's all about the Rams and a win which will settle us quite nicely for the game on Tuesday and I'm chuntering so I'll sign off.

Refreshing to hear Waghorn hold his hands up and say he should have scored, the only reason that he did not was because he was trying to be too clever.

Always interesting to listen to Nigel's views of the game. Urrr. It was the ref's fault.

Mrs Roy rang and asked to speak to her husband. When told he had just gone out to bat she said she would hold on.
Boom boom it's the golden oldies.

He kept Max on the right because he's filling in for Bogle. It's to get Max used to playing on the right. He'll be on the right against Bristol too. He'll only shift to the left when Bogle is fit and if PC then prefers him to Malone.
Cocu said the same thing after Scunthorpe if you lot could stay awake long enough you'd have understood his thinking.

Yes, I think he probably knew what he was doing, Rameses

Agreed Scouse. Excellent save.

Any ideas why Malone came off ? Injury or just tactical change.

Well I remember Frankie going 3 at the back vs Villa think we shipped 2 straight away sounds like we did a bit better with this one.
