That's exactly the team I thought would start.

[Legion]

Pleased to see Guilbert is still in the frame.

[Toronto Villa]

That's a decent line up and good players on the bench if we need them.

[Nev]

Fair enough. I didn't comment on the pre match thread because I didn't know what team we'd put out so, 2-1.

[eamonn]

For those who know, is that Stoke's strongest team?

Nope

[Dave]

About three-quarters of their league starters.

Always wondered* what had happened to John Obi Mikel.

*not really, obviously.

But very similar to their lineup from the league game before the one they just played.

[manic-road]

Happy with the line up, 2-0 Davis & AEG

[Villa Lew]

Was a bit concerned he might have started Ollie again, but thankfully he's on the bench.

[Lastfootstamper]

Watching the warm-up. I swear they're doing the hokey-cokey.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.
