Carl Dickinson:
He is worrying me slightly. Gets beaten for pace a little too often and opts for the long ball. But in terms of tackling he is spot on. It was a quiet game for him.

Still consistently brilliant. Was sent off on Saturday for conceding a penalty that was NEVER a penalty. Very very harsh decision. I really hope Stoke do very well this season just so we might have a chance of signing Shotton permanently. Hes a fans favourite already!
