Hope we don't make too many changes. Maybe keep the defence that will start against WBA to give them more playing time together. Maybe rest Pieters if he isn't 100% and give young Tymon a run out. Crouch to start and maybe Maxim Choupo-Moting and Jesè to play some part to help them with match fitness.

Maybe start Berahinho he's got to score against them, if not send him to the flowerpot hotel with a fistful of £50's and saucy susan's phone number and just hope he scores once whilst in Stoke on Trent.

There are cash turnstiles for tonight and the club are asking supporters to arrive early to avoid queues.
Not sure there will be any queues at the turnstiles. I'll be surprised if there are more than ten thousand there tonight.
The only place there might be queuing is at the satellite ticket office when people collect their tickets. That is normally a bit wank.

Wonder if the Oatcake boat and the Beer boat will be on the canal. That is something worth queuing up for.

First half was a piece of piss. 3-0 up and passing the ball around well. All good passing moves for the goals. Rochdale not any threat to us.
Too easy so far.... we are gonna lose 4-3

Exactly the sort of result we've seemed unable to get for the last 40 years or so

Good professional performance. Tymon was unlucky not to score, their keeper saved well from him in the first half and in the second half he chipped the keeper but his shot hit the crossbar. Charlie Adam, Bruno, Bojan, Pieters and even Wolly had goal scoring chances. Verlinden came on as sub and played like Shaqiri. Rochdale had a few chances late on but 5, 6, 7 or 8 nil wouldn't have been unjustified.
The queue at the Oatcake Boat after the match wasn't too bad and Wetherspoons had a good selection of guest ales on. Decided against a kebab on the way home but tempted to raid the fridge now.
Not sure that I can be arsed to stay up for the draw at 4.15am, apart from that all is well!
Goodnight.
