Against Ipswich, THB had a far worse game than Quarshie. Quarshies height in the box as well as Downs or Stewart will make it a lot more difficult for some to defend corners. Quarshies throw will be a lot more effective with a tall striker on the pitch. I see zero reason to drop him.

Dont know why people are surprised about Suguwara leaving. He's obviously the player who doesnt think he'll make the World Cup playing for a Championship Club, (which is true as he'll struggle to make the team.) Welcome Mads

I suggest if Southampton have any such players with such backwards views they'd be out of the club pretty quick sharp. If any person of any religion can't mix with any other person of another religion in this country, they shouldn't be in this country.

Suguwara

Interesting that a few Stoke fans don't see that Wrexham (H) and Ipswich (A) compared to Derby (H) and Sheffield Wed (A) are two very different starts to the season. Ipswich found a good way of nullifying Shea Charles against us, but Stoke are not Ipswich. If they come in trying to do the same thing they will open up more space for us to play through.

Who scored stats for CB's yesterdays

passmap from The Analyst shows how Ipswich stopped forward passing from Welington, Quarshie or Stephens to Charles.

He's only just turned 21. FFS. He's done enough on the pitch in the last two league games to warrant his place. Yes he makes mistakes, but his pace and his throw add something others don't.

1 point from Ipswich away is going to be seen an a good result at the end of the season. Quarshie is getting a tough lesson as to the speed you need to make decisions in this league, he'll get there.

Prutton is the most entertaining Sky sports personality related to football.

Göztepe frustrate Mourinho at home again. Played 24 minutes of the second half with 10 men after Juan got sent off for two yellows, but fenerbache got a man sent off for two yellows themselves on 85.

Great image (he's taller than we thought)

He's surely in the starting eleven next game.

Exactly. loans that work: Romulo was a loan to buy for Goztepe, it was so successful they bought him properly early, and they've now made a fortune.

Spertsyan plays for a Russian Club. Due to sanctions, you can't just put a bid in for a player. Are there ways to get a player from Krosnador? Well PSG managed it, but they are under EU law and we're under UK law so there may be differences.

Good start to the season. Göztepe finished 1 pint ahead of Rizespor last year Rizespor actually beat Göztepe 6-3 on 18th may in one of the last games of 24/25

A stat that was brought up by the commentary team yesterday is that only 4 of yesterday's starting 11 played against Arsenal last match of 24/25. One of those was Robinson. It's a chance to get more understanding of the dynamic.

This is a whole 5 days before Ipswich. I think it will serve the club better to play a full first team squad to aid the connections and team building.

If we didn't have the frustration from getting so much from so many attempts, we don't have that intensity at the end.

Went too early thinking of the attractive fixture. Northampton cup match hasn't got as much sparkle, but got to give that one a glance first.

Yep, we did.

4 cruise ships leaving port between 16.00 and 18.00 so could be nightmare roads this morning.

Rento Takaoka on the bench for this one. https://www.youtube.com/live/6sLdAfvFtmA?si=gFo-cNJb1cZd2Wh6
