I know we're not exactly playing a sweeper but shouldn't baker's job as free man be to cover his fellow centre backs when the ball gets played down the sides?

I just posted in the Post-Match Thread by accident. I might've jinxed us, sorry.

Idiot. Buffoon.

Hold on, has my missus stolen Legion's log-in? Those are her pet names for me.

Love you really, darling. XXXX

Unfortunately that requires Baker to have positional sense.

Struggling to keep hold of the ball here. Wing backs aren't really getting the space

Villa came close to conceding in tonight's friendly just a moment ago.

Great save Guzan, terrible defending by Lowton again.

This is shaping up to be a very very long night, and I fear an embarrassing one.

Neville hasn't much faith!  A Guzan save on 12 mins with the score at nil nil  "keeps villa in the game".  Probably right.

On the evidence so far, we are in for a tonking.
