Stoke v Boro 0-0

[Neverbefore 4,197]

If it's true that Daniels has been dropped I think that it indicates that the game plan was not to lump it forward every single time he got it and that he hasn't followed wilders instructions in terms of playing it out from the back, as I suspected. No other reason to drop him after a clean sheet.

Just asking if anyone else has issues with the EG website. Possibly it’s not iPad friendly.

It's just a godawful website these days. Ridiculous number of popups and ads.

Lumley start, Daniels on the bench

Fry in for Bamba too

Probably sensible. Bamba needs a rest, Fry is the future.

Payero to come on in the second half and score the winner

[TeaCider24 5,229]

Fair enough for me.

Daniels looked shaky on Saturday even with the clean sheet.

Fry should be in the starting 11 when possible.

[Johnmfc81 566]

To me it looks likely that stoj will be moved on in January, and maybe one of the other two too. 

[SA Red 85]

The bench looking stronger

[AnglianRed 3,872]

Feeling less confident with Joanna Fumbley between the sticks and Fry in defence.

Not the game I'd have chosen to bring Dael back, though I know Bamba needs a rest (should have done it sooner IMO).

for its purely tactical move to drop Bamba, I doubt it's a fitness thing. We've had a full week off before Swansea and then another week before Stoke today so I doubt he's still recovering.

As you said fry is the future, so I think he wants him in playing with dijksteel and McNair as that's probably going to be defense going forward.

Lumley is a better passer for sure. Just needs to concentrate... Probably in last chance territory now. 

Good to see Fry back - well deserved rest for Sol!

Don't you mean @TheJew

DZ wants his run to continue so would not suggest a Boro loss😀

An inevitable 2 nil loss today.
