The Fan Zone

Angela Smith (Knot media): Stoke will feel unlucky not to defeat Boro after creating chances in the second half.

Lawal , who has been a key player this season left with an injury in the second half.

Rigo looks an outstanding player and Sorba Thomas will be one that Rovers will need to watch. His crosses have caused a lot of damage for the opposition this season.
