Norwich City boss Chris Hughton has no concerns over the form of captain Sebastien Bassong.
Hughton is adamant the 27-year-old is a key man for battles ahead.
"Overall I have been happy with Seb this season," he told the Pink 'Un. "It is fair to say he didn't have his best game (against Villa) and he has been involved again on the penalty, but overall I have not been disappointed with his performances. He is a big character and we need as many big characters as we can for the challenge ahead. He is a big player for us and if I look at his performance against Stoke I think he took responsibility at the back with the way they operated with just one player up front. He tries to make things happen for the team and I felt it was a very soft penalty, but it turned out to be a big moment."
