Stoke absolutely dominated 'shots' and 'possession' but could not simply put the ball in the net.
Cannon TSA +135
Stoke 2-0
It looks like Stoke will play an attacking 4-4-2 formation with Gallagher and Cannon up front.Under their previous manager Stoke played a 3-4-3 and it did not work.
@Marbella I wish they had kept Pelach on as a Number 2, I felt desperately sorry for him. He gave it 101% but his tactics were simply beyond the grasp of the Players.
I don't think that I am biased (I do follow Stoke City these days) but I would be really shocked if Mark Robins doesn't get a Win here. The Bet365 Stadium was rocking against Sunderland and that boost, plus the freedom to play Championship Football as opposed to Mind Football, sets up a Home Win.
@RichieRochdale I felt very, very careful confident about a Stoke Win---, and I put a hundred bucks on it---, :(
Stoke Win

New Stoke manager Mark Robins will take this as his first game in charge.Stoke will win against a shocking managerless Plymouth side.
