Looks like it, plus Vlaar, Senderos, Kozak, and Weimann suspended (was it just one game?).

I thought it would be CNZ a, strange, thought clevs had played well. Edit: injury

Bloody hell could've broke huttons ankle, Hutton has never made a challenge like that! (Queue gif of horrendous tackle)

Grealish!! Come on son.

I think we'll see JG in the next ten. The game is opening up and he could be really useful.

Schluuupp

Come on Villa, a goal feels like it's coming!

Like the noise a welly boot makes when you pull it out of mud. My thought exactly, or the morning after a lamb vindaloo.

Really!? Blimey, I wouldnt.

Schhhhlllluuppppppp. What a crap name.

Not far away from clevs. I think beast mode might have been activated... Come on Benteke.

Alloa also crocked. Wasteful ball by cleverley there.

argh CNZ like a bloody spectator.

Goose clearly got the ball there, no penalty shout for me. I am slightly bias though.

Oooh. Beast

YESSS! Great ball in from Westwood and Clarks header wasn't easy either.

**** sake villa

Benteke! So close, he's got such great awareness of where the goal is, barely even looked up then.

Nzogbia is playing like your mate's mate that turns up to footy training and says they were in the man utd academy as a kid, the proceeds to have no touch at all.

great ball by Aly

Come on VILLA!

It is weird that trend for 'racing seats' in dugouts that started with the recarro seats about 7ish years ago. All seems a bit American football to me, but I don't suppose it makes any real difference, I just preferred the old proper benches. Any way, I'd love a win today, would take us to 11th I think, ahead of everton and stoke. It seems like we always give struggling teams a way back instead of capitalising on their poor form. Hopefully a couple of goals and a clean sheet though.

Cheers. I really hope we get to see Ron in claret and blue again, I know a few people who are resigned to him going in Jan and him either being injured until then or left out of the side, but I hope that's not the case. From the press release it sounds like he will be back sooner rather than later, I assume he will displace Clark from the side, rather than okore, but we'll see. We could be sitting on the back of three straight clean sheets by the time he's back (fingers crossed), but I'd expect him to regain his place pretty easily.

I think this is the probable starting XI: Gooooz Hutton Okore Clarke Aly Sanchez Westwood Clevs Gabby N'zog Benteke If it was me I'd be tempted to start Grealish for N'Zog, but I don't think that'll happen. What's the ETA for Senderos to be fit?

Hahahaha…..What a load of bullsh1t! I doubt Lambert would even have the balls to claim any credit for Huttons form. FFS he left him out of the squad for 2 seasons for no reason. He never gave the lad a chance even when he played well on loan and for Scotland. If anything the form of Hutton actually highlights how poor a judge of a player Lambert is. What an intellegent, diplomatic and polite way of disagreeing with my viewpoint. The same argument has been had roughly a million times on VT now, so I'm not going to bother here. But I will say our defence is demonstrably better this year, and that is evidenced in the stats. Anyway thanks for that, made my day. Apologies, did not mean to cause offence. We can agree that Huttons form this season has been one of the few positives. I should be in a much better mood seen as we finally won a game and are up to 12th in the table. Who knows if Cole didn’t go off injured we might have played some entertaining football. No worries. I've been buoyed by our league position too. It is a shame about Cole, I sort of expected it when we signed him, but I didn't expect this many injuries.
