Marc Wilson

Walters has been poor so far in the first half. Looks out of his depth and will definetely be substituted. I hope Wilson or/and Whelan come on as Stoke are been outplayed by Parker and Noble in midfield.

[Noelys Guitar]

Walters has just started the second half brilliantly and plays a great ball for the equaliser. Shut up Noely! Pulis has moved him out to the right wing and he looks like a different player (for a few mins). Taken off after 65 mins and not surprised. Wish he was the answer but for me Walters lacks the touch and timing of jump to step up if Doyle or Keane are injured.

Perhaps an option for us at right wing instead??

I think he is better as a wide player. Better running at players and running into the flight of balls to head rather than leading the line.

I don't think his running of the channels is particularly good. He's got all of the physical attributes to be a very good striker but I don't think he has the intelligence/positioning up top.

His best performances for Ipswich were at right midfield IMO.

[Noelys Guitar]

He has no chance of being selected on Monday. But who knows with Trap!

[greendeiseboy]

Anyone know if Wilson is injured or has he dropped out of contention with Stoke already - started two games ago - on the bench the weekend and dropped tonight.

[Charlie Darwin]

He's cup-tied.

It would be good if Antony Stokes moved to Stoke.
For bad puns anyway

Starts 2day against Everton. Good to see him back in the starting line up

He started against Man Utd last week too. Good to see that he has kept his place.

[tommy_c12000]

Apologies so he did. My bad. Was on hols last wkend so missed all the foot

[paul_oshea]

Wilson starts, and notably whelan is not playing again.

we really need to be looking to playing those that are starting, i mean whelan has done well for us in the past but not recently. And if his club manager who is doing well with limited resources is favouring his irish counterpart, then surely Trap has to follow suit.

[The Fly]

Wilson was replaced by Whelan on 77 mins.

[tommy_c12000]

Great to see this guy getting regular starts for Stoke City. Was probably Stoke's best player yesterday. He is receiving great reviews on the fans forum:

This guy has to start in our midfield against Norway. Whelan has been terrible in the last few games for Ireland and is not starting for Stoke. And Green simply isn't a footballer

[SolitudeRed]

Scored his first premiership goal yesterday for Stoke in the 93rd min after coming on as a late sub which is good to see, doesn't seem to be much talk about him on here he seems to be playing a midfield role now rather than his original position at the back.

Great news. I think he has stated on numerous occasions that he enjoys the midfield role more than defence and I think it shows in his performances.

I'd like to see him get a chance for Ireland.

On bench alongside Whelan for the umpteenth time this season V Fulham. Delap and Walters start. Good to see Duffer back in the starting line up for Fulham
