Brown Ideye becomes the first Albion player to score a winner against Stoke at the Hawthorns since Scott Dobie; 14th March 2015

While things remain less than satisfactory on the transfer front, you can't knock Albion for grinding out the wins under pressure. After back to back victories to begin the season, plus the further bonus of a refreshingly simple League Cup win, it almost feels like we're due to come a cropper.

There are few sides in the division we'd less like to do it against than Sunday's opponents, too. Saido's back in town with all his new mates, and though he remains goalless for the Potters, there's no denying that he's shed a few pounds over summer and is looking hungry in more ways than one. Albion can't afford to doze off in this one. Bare minimum, we want a draw from this one, and - if it's not too much to ask - an actual football team by this time next Thursday.

Great new signing on board now

Here's the strange one
Let's not have anymore Bull about Evans eh ?

Baggies v Stoke Game:

Best Scenario, Rodriguez scores after 15mins. Solomon scores a second on 50mins and Burke comes off the bench on 70mins and scores a scorcher giving us a 3-0 win.

Worst Scenario, Sado comes off the bench and scores in the 85min and we lose 0-1.  Grrrrr!

Will it be    or will it be   ?

Best case scenario, after hearing his welcome Darren Fletcher realizes he has made a mistake and scores an own goal to give us a 1-0 win, this also helps me in the prediction league as it would give me a correct score on the gamball match and +16 points ....

You just know its gonna happen........Fatterhino to get his first Sjoke goal...........Baggies to win 2-1 so we still come away happy (well I'll be in Harlyn Bay Cornwall trying to get into The Farmers Arms to watch it)

2-0 to us - don't give a monkey's who scores - but it'll be someone else's fault whatever happens, won't it Mr Hughes?

[BaggieMan]

Biggest problem for me will be getting to the ground. With the M6 and M5 problems coupled with it being a Bank Holiday weekend and all the SJokies also coming down the M6,  I reckon the tail-back will be as far back as Walsall !

Anyone know if they allow helicopters to land on the pitch?

A 4-4-2 (4-4-1-1 out of possession) to try to match up as best we can against Stoke's 3-4-2-1.

[BaggieMan]

That Jesé looked useful as does Shaquiri so have to keep an eye on them. In a way it might be better putting Yacob on rather than Barry given Yacs younger legs.
Just hope 'Twato' isn't playing but on the bench and gets more stick than any returning ex-Baggie has ever received.

I would definitely play Morrison
Sado would poop himself
