[Goldie.7]

Donkey Clark returns.

baker poor

[richard moore]

Here we go. As I said, most of our relegation rivals are losing too

[ciggiesnbeer]

Sigh. Well there you go. Dammit.

[phantom limb]

I detest Stoke more than mere words can convey

[russon]

seen tugboats turn quicker

[curiousorange]

Even now, I can't see this scoreline changing.

[eastie]

Would like to see helenius given a run now in the last 30 mins or so - hard to see a way back the way we are playing .

[ez]

Losing to stoke. *sigh*

[devilla]

Just got in. Anybody know what the situation is with Benteke? Not even the bench?

Oh. and bollocks that we're one down. Not unexpected though.

[Jon Crofts]

I haven't watched a Stoke Villa game since that 2-2 draw at Villa under MON, 2-0 up cruising with 10 to go.

[brontebilly]

awful tackle by clark, filthy and no need whatsoever to go lunging in like that. Baker getting far too tight to Adam.

Lowton again with a sneaky tackle. both players could do with losing that side to their games.

[JUAN PABLO]

ffs tonev    get him off

[Ozzjim]

Without Vlaar Gabby and Benteke is tough. No left back either. It is where the squad starts to look a bit pathetic. We need 3-4 players in the Vlaar, Gabby, Benteke quality bracket desperately.

[supertom]

Tonev really is poor. Never looks up.
