Baker is a walking clanger. 1st Division player at best.

[JUAN PABLO]

Mexican tv reckons that was a penalty for Stoke.

we would have wanted it

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Afternoon gents.

Let's do these hoof merchants. Come on you, Villa boys!

[seanthevillan]

Not been the calm controlled start we were hoping for.

[neo_Villan]

Good grief! Stoke are the one team we should be dominating possession against and we play a two man midfield. They are all over us.

[eastie]

Stoke seem on the front foot - didnt expect them this fired up:(

[ez]

Right come on you villans. Time for a clean sheet I reckon.

[Lambert and Payne]

Stoke all over us

go gabby!!! 1-0

Clearly Lambert feels it will be similar to the West Ham game, physical and high balls. Maybe the thinking is that Sylla is too raw for this type of experience. If it's tight I'd expect N'Zog/Bent to replace Bowery in the last 20-30 mins.

Gabbye!!!!!
