Rotherham.jpg


Back to league action this weekend with a trip to The New York Stadium.

This has to be a game we go looking for three points, having played the Millers twice already this season in league and cup and scoring 10 goals over those two games you'd imagine the team will be up for it.

Rotherham have picked up a few decent results of late with a win against Middlesbrough and draws against Blackburn and Sunderland so we should not take it as given but I do fancy us to take the 3 points in this one.

A sold-out following of nearly 2,500 potters will be cheering the team on

Team wise I think we may see something like this

I like that team . Maybe Loris instead of Vidigal , I think Loris compliments Hoever better .
 
I can only see three points here for us, we've absolutely hammered them each time we've played them so far.

With our new all-out attack approach I can't see this one being any different

3-1 to Stoke

I’m actually quite optimistic we can grab another away victory here… and it’s been a while since I thought that !

0-2

I don't normally do "convinced" when it comes to SCFC 😆 but I am almost there with this one, I just can't see us not getting 3 points.

i will be back here on Saturday evening to eat humble pie probably 🤪

Hopefully a win and 3 points, interestingly we have scored 1 more goal than they have. We have defended far better but it does illustrate how poor our striking has been and where we need strengthening.

Only 3 teams have scored less and they are the bottom 3. 7 have let less goals in than us the rest have let in more. Tell the story of our season
 
Interesting stats @stokiejoe.

I think we create enough to take something from most games, it’s the converting part we’re struggling with.

The issue is normally that 15-20 a season striker costs a pretty penny.

We have to go back as far as the 99/2000 season and Peter Thorne for the last time someone hit 20 in a season for us.

We haven’t even had 15 in a season since Ric and Lenny both did it in the 07/08 promotion season.

Granted we spent a lot of time in the top league where it’s much more difficult to hit those numbers but 24ish years is crazy.

I’d like to think today will be an away win. I’m going 3-1 Stoke, an early goal to start things off.

Today is one of those games for the team to really prove they’ve turned a corner. This is a game Neil would have dropped points on. With a full week of training and hopefully some freshness in their legs, there’s no excuse to not take points here.

Would love to see Bae Jun-Ho get his first goal for the club! 🙌🏻
