Nicko 0 Posted April 25, 2013 for the weekend and a doubt for Villa. Barnett bought back in for extra cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted April 25, 2013 Not great news as he has formed a great partnership with Seb. Just hope Seb does not suffer now. Barnett on the bench for stoke methinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Bassong won''t suffer. Or at least he didn''t earlier in the season. He''s played perfectly well with Turner, Bennett and Barnett this season. Its when Bassong doesn''t play Turner suffers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted April 25, 2013 sorry GP not being clear - he seemed to be hobbling after the game on sat so hope he remains fit. Have no doubt he brings the best out of his partners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Ahh yeah ok. Yeah, Turner looked great walking off compared to Bassong at the end of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clarkey1972 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Do we know if whitaker is fit?RM at CB would be my preference with SW at RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as soon as he''s involved again he looks strong and quick. Never seen that in a player before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nu_matik 167 Posted April 25, 2013 I would definitely shift R.Martin over to central defence with Bassong and bring Whittaker into RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whittaker is fit, but I would play Leon in central defence in preference to Martin, bearing in mind Stokes height and physicality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted April 25, 2013 Am I the only one who''d start with R Bennett after his goal-scoring performance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricardo 7,385 Posted April 25, 2013 Whatever way you look at it, Turner being out is bad news and for it to happen against Stoke makes it even worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,289 Posted April 25, 2013 Ryan ''Tweety Pie'' is more than capable of filling in for Turner......As long as young Ryan doesn''t smuggle his iphone onto the pitch on Saturday.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
