[b]LAST MATCH



Back top back wins as we edged Bristol 1-0. The first half started quietly but we managed to create several chances through Palmer, Reach and Harris. We kept City pretty quiet although they seemed content to sit back and soak up any pressure. We started the 2nd half better and created a few chances but still couldn't find the breakthrough while Palmer cleared off the line from Hunt. It looked like the game would end in a disappointing draw until Nuhiu went down in the box and the ref pointed to the spot. Bannan stepped up and sent the goalie the wrong way and we saw out the final few minutes.

THE MATCH



Boxing day and the shortish trip to Stoke. Stoke are having a terrible season and are currently 23rd in the table with only Wigan below them on GD. Stoke have some good players and why they are struggling like they are is a surprise to me. Nathan Jones was in charge but was sacked and they are now managed by Michael O'Neill, the former Northern Irish manager. He has manged to muster a few wins but they continue to struggle. I still think they will stay up but it's games like this when Wednesday find a way to make a mess of, but with Monk in charge lets hope for 3 wins in a row.

THE TEAM

Fox could be a doubt, so Palmer might start, which would send Iorfa to RB and Lees & Borner the CBs. Fletcher will hopefully return and be paired with JR.
