Like every game, I go in wanting and hoping Rovers to win - but anyone who thinks we can beat Stoke is smoking crack. If Hughes fields even half of that front four then we are going down heavily. These are some of the finest players in Europe. Will enjoy the spectacle and seeing our lads up against this lot of superstars.
They were shit first half, miles better second half, but I do think they can be got at on the counter attack
Of course we can win the game. What a stupid thing to say we have no chance. Bradford won at stamford bridge last year. Oldham did for Liverpool a few seasons back. Yes, 9 times out of 10 they win the game, and win it well. But to say there's no chance is ridiculous. They aren't Barcelona, they are a mid table premier league team. It can be done
I'll be shouting for Rovers as loud as the next bloke, but Stoke have striking power way in excess of anything Bolton, Villa, Man City or even Arsenal fielded against us. Look at where Bojan and Shaquiri came from. These are genuinely world class players. Am sure we can put up a good showing but let's be honest about what we are facing. Now, if Hughes decides to rest them all...
Personally, I wouldn't put bojan or shaquiri anywhere near world class. If they were, they wouldn't be plying their trade at Stoke mate. They are very good players, but saying they are world class is a tad over the top
