they have looked more solid at the back of late

but who are the nailed on options??

is sorenson first choice keeper now? how long will shotton remain on the wing ahead of pennant? will he replace woodgate at Full back?

many questions anyone got the answers?

For the last 3 seasons a Stoke defender has been a must. I had Huth all of last season and Shawcross all of this season and dont intend to drop him. In the back 4 i would say both Shawcross and Huth are nailed on and Woodgate is likely. As for the keeps, too tough to call but for the time being i would say Sorensen.

I'd go with the above Shawcross definite, only injury keeps him out, then Huth. Stoke suffered during the spell when Huth either didn't play or came on as a sub, now he's playing regular again Stoke have improved.

Sorensen has been first choice for the last 7 prem games so I'd go with him

Shotton's a good gamble. Even if he plays at right back, I'd be happy. Right wing, massive bonus. 4.0 you can't go wrong if you have decent cover on the bench...
