Carl Bailey, Longton: Should the team that finished on Saturday start against Fulham?

Carl Bailey, Longton: The team that FINISHED the game on Saturday has to start against Fulham. Vokes and Hogan look better than Gregory and Campbell. Also leaving McClean, Ince and Butland helped Saturday. Players in proper positions. Would you agree?

It was a real chance on Saturday for Lee Gregory to put down a marker that he’s Stoke’s main striker for the season. Let’s make no bones about it, he should have had at least one and probably two.

I’ve seen Tyrese Campbell play better than that but when he’s on the pitch you do think that there’s a chance Stoke might score.

It was a brilliant header from Vokes from Tom Edwards’s excellent cross and a poacher’s finish from Hogan. Maybe there’s a partnership in there.

As for McClean, yes, I think Bruno Martins Indi is a better left-back (although not the freewheeling left-back we were expecting under Jones). Stoke looked so much more solid with him there.

And yes, I think Tom Ince is better as a winger than a number 10, which is a problem when your manager doesn’t play with wingers.

Butland is a difficult one. Next summer he’ll have one year left on his contract and as it stands you can’t imagine that he’ll be attracting the same suitors as he did last summer, never mind three or four years ago.

He did play well for most of last season and there were games when he was runaway man of the match. First things first, let’s just hope he can get back to that reliable form as soon as possible.
