Stoke keeper Butland got through Norwich clash

“That [coming so close to the match] was probably a bit of mischief”.

“He will have to pay with a bit of pain for a couple of weeks, but he will be fine”.

One of my favourite bets of the weekend here is to take these two to score in what should be a really entertaining game between two talented sides.

“It is still early days in his career, but he is doing everything right at the moment”.

“We probably should have gone on to win but Jack Butland had an unbelievable game”, said Dorrans. If his goals keep Norwich in the league, then at that price he would be an absolute bargain. Mark Hughes is eager to gain his first victory this season and battling the Yellows would be the flawless time to achieve that.

He said: “Conditions were hard for both teams, and that tempered the edge you need to be dynamic in your game”.

Sections of the Norwich crowd made it clear of their feelings towards the former Ipswich man, who remains a target for Canaries manager Alex Neil.

The forward missed the trip to Carrow Road due to illness and Hughes’ later confirmed he had rejected a bid for the 31-year-old, which British media reported to be in the region of 1.5 million pounds ($2.4 million).

One of Hughes’ dilemmas is whether to include Bojan in the squad after he played the full 90 minutes in last weekend’s under-21 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

“We should have scored, albeit for good goalkeeping or poor finishing, we did not get the three points we deserved”. It’s obviously a good thing to have hungry players, players who are playing for something more than just their pay cheque. As mentioned before, the long ball system has left the club and Stoke are now dominating football matches with lots of possession, creating more chances and have also seen an increase in successful dribbles completed. Expect Diouf to once again start up top, and if the Potters are chasing goals during the second half to move outside to accommodate either Joselu or Peter Crouch up top.
