Team talk for Stoke

[fredthefan]

The team talk for Stoke should be the easiest of Steve Bruce's career. We've had the platitudes and apologies, we'll see on Saturday how good a man manager Bruce is and how much the players "hurt".

Mags game was painful but may just be the kick up the arse that the manager and players need to kick on.

I think they'll be well up for it. What do you think?

If the players hurt so much, there shouldn't really be a team talk.

Now don't forget about Kenwyne...

We should heed this advice, as Newcastle have done exactly this, this season.

and we played 4-5-1 and they just lumped it clean over our midfield so that was a waste of tactic that Brucie would be well advised to take note of

The danger is if they are too up for it and the team talk is really concentrated on last weeks result then we will be down to 9 men by half time.....

An improvement on last sunday, only Bardsley played in the 1st half.
