A bit disappointed that he didn't go with O'Hare
-
Three strikers on the bench!
-
Same here TV, but hopefully he'll bring him on at half time when we're 4-0 up.
-
Good to see Kienan on the bench
-
Win please Villa.
-
Is Berahino still shit?
-
No collins on the bench?
-
Injuries are starting to tell - Taylor Jedi Lansbury BB Adomah Grealish - still think we will win though.

Sounded like they'll all be back soon though.

I already miss the days when we had three right backs on the bench.

Still in Dean we Trust
-
No collins on the bench?
He doesn't have a contract

He has to use what he has at his dispsoal - what is it 5 in 14 from next Saurday?

I bet Crouch scores today.
-
Stoke's team looks like a hotpotch Bruce style line up - lot of players with little sell on value seemingly
-
I bet Crouch scores today.
At 5-0 down it will be fine as they'll need all the help they can get
-
I think Conor might be useful in an advanced role.
-

I'd take Butland in a heartbeat

Fair point. Very good keeper.
-

I say! Steady on.

Just to be clear; Butland not Butt plug
-
To be fair that Stoke squad looks pretty handy to me. They've got some experience and goals in their attacking players, which is a concern with our defence. I'm looking forward to seeing how we do without Grealish. (though I'd still rather we had him in our side!)

How many of their players have played well in the last 18 months though? On paper it's a strong squad but they've looked poor every time I've seen them this year.

First very experienced squad Rowett has worked with and they aren't doing brilliantly.
-
Bright start!
-
Right into them from the off. I like it
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
Why is AVTV broadcasting in analog? It’s nearly 2019, is HD not an option?
-
Decent save from Nyland.
-
Ooooh decent save from Nyland. We fell asleep at the back
-
Anyone got anything to pm?

Be grateful they've managed to broadcast anything based on previous experiences
-
Boro losing
-
Anybody know why all our shirt numbers are the wrong way round?
-

It's ok, it's err....technical error.

Good save Nyland again.

Nyland saves us again

If you're watching a Facebook stream he's got it on mirror image
-
Doesn’t sound great so far.
-
Good to see Nyland making some good saves. There's a good keeper in there somewhere.
-
While we started well I feel when we have Whelan we automatically drop back into an overall deeper midfield position. Not totally unexpected but it’s why I’d rather we went with O’Hare today.
And Nyland remains a liability
-
We look a bit ropey at the back, as usual.

Jinx
-
Hourihane tries a Staunton special from a corner
-
Defence is shiiiiiiitttte.
-
Ok come on Conor. Time for one of your free kick specials
-
Decent freekick from Hourihane
-
It's like Pulis never left Stoke.
-
Whelan freekick nearly caught everyone out there.
-
Bolasie's final balls have been horrible.
-
We look a bit loose today. Need a little more pace and composure to our attacks.
-
Anyone got anything to pm?
And me please
-
We don’t look convincing today.
-
Ince booked
-
It's quite weird watching this

-
That's really weird!
-
We miss Grealish.
-
Starting with Whelan is a mistake. Get O'Hare on!
-
Anyone got anything to pm?
And me please
would be very nice.
-
Great run by AT wins a corner
-
We miss Grealish.
Massively, everyone else is struggling for space because he's not there and Houri just isn't occupying defenders.
-
And the same here please!
-
The wind seems brutal. Got to keep it on the deck in the second half as much as possible.
-
We miss Jack especially as Stoke are doing a good job of stifling us, without him we're struggling to create space.
-
Hourihane has a great right foot
-
I’m stuck at Solihull ice rink freezing my knackers off looking to this thread for inspiration.

Judging by the conditions at VP you might be warmer at the rink.

That and Whelan as a replacement entirely changes the creativity in the midfield. We sit deeper and neither McGinn or Hourihane can pull players with them to create space for others.
-
We can't play with both Hourihane and Whelan. After a bright start from Stoke we've wrestled back control, but chances hard to come by.
Stoke really have killed the spectacle, which is no surprise.
First goal absolutely key. We must get it.

They will stick 10 men behind the ball and lock it up if they score first. Stoke are horrible to watch.
-
Stuck at home today due to illness.
Had a great stream via Reddit for about 10 minutes before it switched to the Blose match, typical. Haven't found another :(
I'd have been tempted to play Fugazi in the Grealish role today personally i think as he's got the same sort of talent.
Here's hoping we can kick it up a few gears in the second half.
-
And Hourihane can't deliver a cross. Chronic waste. 5 corners and a free kick all garbage.
-
Time for O'Hare to show what he can do.
-

I think you might be right
-
Time for O'Hare to show what he can do.
Possibly. I do fear some folks are expecting way too much of the lad going on what i've seen of him mind. But fingers crossed he gets on and shows us something
-
FUCKKKKKKKK
-
Bollocks.
Started with sloppy defending by Hutton.
-
Chester fucked up there also
-
Oh shit. Defence sleeping.
-
Bollocks
-
Shit corner by Whelan. I fucking never see what he brings
-
Feels like a Kodjia game.
-
I am currently doing my marking; why aren't that lot on the pitch?
-
We look very flat
-
Lazy, sloppy passing.
-
January can't arrive quickly enough. The defence will be the reason we don't go up this year.

I think you might be left in the waiting room a little while for that substitution...
-
Get Whelan off!
-
Playing better now.
Pity it took a goal to prompt it.
-
Whelan is utter shit
-
How many corners can we waste?
-
Could/should have been a second to them there.
-
Hutton is having a mare against Ince.
-
We're getting fuck all from this.
-
How many corners can we waste?
Lots.
-
Get Abraham off for Kodjia. Tammy has done nothing this game at all.
-
That was a good move.
Bolasie should have done better with his finish.
-
Make a change Dean. This isn’t working
-
Kodjia coming on by the sounds of it.
-
Poor from Villa down the left in front of Hutton, Bolasie goes wide and tonnes of space inside and nobody there.
-
Whelan you are shit
-
Whelan you are shit
I can’t understand why he is still on the pitch
-
Kodjia for El Ghazi
-
Kodjia for El Ghazi
-
Leeds winning
-
I don’t get that sub to be honest.
-
WTF is Whelan doing playing as an attacking midfielder?
-
Bolasie is such a headless chicken at times.
-
WTF is Whelan doing playing as an attacking midfielder?
For me it was a huge error starting him today. In construction terms he’s your basic brick carrier. I don’t want him anywhere near putting the final touches to an expensive kitchen.
-
Penalty!
-
Penalty. Stupid challenge on Kodjia.
-
Penalty! Do not let Whelan take
-
Yessss
-
Yippee
-
Thank fuck for that 1-1 Tammy. Let’s go and fucking win this now Villa
-
Tammy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Sccoooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrchioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tammy scores the pen
-
Goooooooooooool !
-
Get Whelan off, bring O’Hare on and win this thing
-
Tammy Win it.
-
Kodjia just isn’t a winger
-
We are fucking so stupid. Penalty to Stoke
-
Bollocks
Penalty to them. Elmo with a stupid challenge on that donkey McLean.
-
Our defence is just utter wank
-
Awful from Elmo
-
FGS
-
Fuck OFFFFF
-
Fuck sake
-
Our two full backs have killed us today
-
We're so shit defensively
-
Cer rap
-
One point from 6 will be such a shit return while teams around us win and pull away
-
Fucking rubbish. Forget about promotion this season, the defence and keeper have given us way too much to do. Fucking bollocks.
-
Dean get fucking Whelan off.
-
Utter shit from Bolasie today
-
Wasteful delivery from Bolasie that.
-
Bolasie, for fuck sake man. Utterly, utterly brainless.
-
Utter shit from Bolasie today
He was shit against the Baggies as well.
-
A Bruce-like performance today. Crap fullbacks, particularly Hutton, though Elmohamady with a bizarre attempt at a challenge looks to have fucked us.
Hourihane anonymous. Whelen pointless.
-
1 win in 4 will probably be top 2 gone.
-
Defence is going to cost us promotion. This is a terrible result.
-
I think there’s more than minor surgery needed Dean. Meanwhile Blues have come back from 0-2 to 2-2 in about a minute
-
Bolasie really is such an unorthodox player, moments of genius but generally school playground.
-
Would it hurt to give O’Hare 15 minutes?
-
Far too many have been off it today.
-
We are staying in this league for years. All because of of terrible decisions.
-
Bollocks
-
Dean Smith got it wrong today with his team selection.
-
Kodjjjjjj!!!!!!
-
Kodjia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
2-2 Kodjia
-
Goooooooooooool !
-
Get innnnn
-
We scored?
-
Sccoooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrchioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
we are mad
-
Finally a decent delivery from Bolasie.
Hogan on for Whelan
-
Fuck me a goal and Whelan off. Like scoring twice
-
Win please Aston Villa.
-
Get in! Now fucking win please.
-
Come on me babbies.
-
Hogan on for Whelan
-
Feels like a Kodjia game.
Ahem.
-
Kodjia proving he’s a centre forward twice. He’s wasted on the wing
-
FFS Hourihane
-
Come on Hogan
-
Come on Hogan
I will if he scores the winner.
-
We're clinging on here tbh. Rubbish.
-
Come on Hogan
I will if he scores the winner.
Eugghhh
-
How long is Jack out for?
-
2 months.
-
Should have got more out of that counter.
-
2 months.
Is he ? I thought Smith said he was hoping he’d be back for the Xmas period
-
Fucking hell Conor. Drive into the box with it, beat a man. Shoot. You don't always have to pass
-
2 months.
Is he ? I thought Smith said he was hoping he’d be back for the Xmas period
I believed it because someone on twitter said it.
-
Bolasie is just so fucking clumsy at times
-
2 months.

Is it shin splints or a stress fracture?
-
2-2 it is.
-
That was garbage.
-
We didn't lose. I expected us to today.
