We'll move above the Villans with a win here. We won't if(when) we lose! That's the spirit

He'll bring in McClean for Berahino and that will be that..... He'll also wonder why we have nothing from the middle in creativity or skill as they'll be stopping Allen and Clucas with the ball trying to dribble instead of offering runs and Villa will look to counter by pressing us wide, taking possession and thus making it look more even to the eye than it most likely was. He'll then be asked about Bojan not being included, Bera out wide and why always Fletcher or McClean after a draw. We've seen this all season, it is bafflingly predictable it's nauseating, two different sets of fans have told me they know what exactly what we are going to do each match in two different points of this season, its scary. No matter the defense or forwards selected, we can't break teams down, we can't hold possession and we can't get a win versus teams who can actually play football. We get scrappy draws and terrible football is all.

Rowett will shit himself and play 541 (Woods as an auxiliary centre back) with a totally isolated Afobe up top.

Bolasie hasn't been that great. Let's not kid ourselves we're up against 1970's Brazil, defensively they are there to be got at..... I've not seen a lot of Bolasie this season, he was awful last, but what I saw against West Brom they should have been 3 or 4 up. Let's hope they are in that sort of form, in front of goal, against us! Horrible knee injury a couple of years ago. Not sure if he’s particularly good these days?

All the talk seems to be about Abraham and Bolasie, but their real danger man is Grealish. If we can come out of this game with a point its a great result.

There are clearly a lot of people scared that Villa are going to give us a drubbing.
Just possible it could jolt the team into action and stir themselves in fear of being humiliated and actually turn the tables on Villa.
Villa do leak goals and are beatable. We have to find that spirit and determination we had against Derby and not be intimidated.

Assuming Bojan and Bauer continue to be ostracised, and Etebo is still out I’d go with:
— Butland —
— Erik — Shawx — Williams — Cuco —
— Joe — Woods —
— Clucas — Incie — (enjoyed seeing Clucas on the Wing vs Derby)
— Bera — Afobe —
COYP!!

I’m liking the pessimism of our own support and the rampant arrogance (not unusual) of theirs with regard this game - Sod’s law says we might get something out of it!

No rampant arrogance here mate, but I agree people are writing Stoke off far too easily, do they never learn! UTV Fair enough - message boards are littered with predictions of 3 or 4 goal wins though (admittedly I’ve a mate up here in the N.West who is a lifelong Villa fan and he is still suitably nervous about any game 🙂)
