Stoke away match thread

**Lord Snooty** · (This post was last modified: 21-11-2020, 16:36 by Lord Snooty.)

Head Coach Carlos Corberán has made three changes to the Town side to face Stoke City in the Sky Bet Championship; 3pm kick-off at the bet365 Stadium.

Unfortunately, Ben Hamer is unavailable today, as he is currently in isolation for a confirmed contract/trace within his household.

As a result, Manchester United loanee Joel Pereira comes in for his competitive Town debut today!

There are two other changes to the starting XI, with Demeaco Duhaney replacing the injured Pipa (hamstring) and Isaac Mbenza returning in place of Adama Diakhaby.

Richard Stearman hits another career landmark today, as he makes the 400th league start of his career.

There are some additions to the bench this afternoon too, due to Hamer and Pipa’s absence and the extension to the number of substitutes.

Goalkeeper Ryan Schofield and defender Rarmani Edmonds-Green make their first appearance in a match day squad following injuries sustained in pre-season.

Juninho Bacuna makes a welcome return from illness to take a spot in the squad, with Aaron Rowe also an option for Corberán today.

As well as Hamer and Pipa, Carlos Corberán is also without the services of Tommy Elphick (knee), Alex Pritchard (ankle) and Romoney Crichlow (groin).

'kin 'ell. Bugger all 'appens for 25 minutes then both sides take their defenders off. Have we gone 5-a-side?

**Lord Snooty** · 21-11-2020, 17:53

Brilliant for half an hour. We create a superb goal then give two away. Get back in with another well worked effort. Then shoot us selves in the foot again.

Grate is the word you're looking for

We look fantastic at times. Play some of the best football we've seen from a Town side in years. If only we could stop the cock ups. Especially when you've somebody like Kevin's boy knocking around.
