Sat 21 Feb 2015 - Villa Park

Why have they moved the kick off time to 2015?

It can't be on the tellybox shirley?

[garyshawsknee]

I'm going for a draw, just down to the fact that they got a whipping last week, so will sit right back and be defensive, and these games tend to be a draw anyway.

[jwarry]

 think you can safely bet TS has targetted this one for a win so expecting nothing less than a no fear winning performance....

[Quiet Lion]

0-2

All optimism will evaporate and relegation will seem even more certain.

[The Left Side]

Don't care as long as we win!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Stoke will be missing lots of players for this one, Hughes will have a makeshift defence and won't have a clue what side Sherwood will put out. Add to that a roaring Villa Park, the lads free to express themselves, confidence rediscovered, I can't see anything but a Villa win.

1-0

[Goldie.7]

Us 1 Them 1

[silhillvilla]

Think will be a nerve jangling 1-0 win.
Be interesting to see his team selection and formation.

[PaulWinch again]

Really is important we win.

[Monty]

We need at the very least to play aggressively, score a goal or two and not lose. Obviously, we pretty much need to win every match, but at the very least we need to carry on the momentum from the second half against Leicester.

[Lastfootstamper]

aah retracting already I see

Be prepared for a massive bout of hypocrisy from him when it ends up only 5-0
