I can't get any reaction unless I lose or win on last years or the demo. No transfer budget with Villa yet you get a budget with Rangers I found slightly strange...

The thought of that **** prat Di Canio lording it in a post-match conference doesn't bare thinking about. Horrible nazi saluting prick

I don't know what upsets me more - the fact we are going to get bummed by a League 1 team - or the fact that I will have to watch DiCanio's smug face as he does it.

Fixed.

In all honesty, were not playing well at the moment, but we should have enough quality to see off Swindon.

With that midfield there I just don't see any weight in it at all! I think we'd get over run :/ apart from Herd he'd **** have anyone.

I quite like it, Ireland and Bannan could provide some much needed creativity. Lack of width worries me, and the fact Lambert will play Gabby instead of Bent

OK, let me explain again. ST holders buy their tickets for league games. I accept that as a non ST holder if I want to go to an away league game but I haven't been to any away league games, I will be at the back of the queue. That's fine.

But, if I've been to cup games, which ST holders haven't attended I should have priority over them for future rounds.

In simple terms an ST is for league games...cup games are optional. So as an ST holder if you dont go to cup games, you shouldn't get priority over supporters who have.

So its OK for them to get priority on cup home games but not away games? Ok, whatever, you've already got a ticket now instead of someone that spent over 300 quid on Villa this season who's been to an away game. But yeah, the Villa world revolves around you, clearly

I don't think Bennett is that bad, certainly not as people are making out.

Today the problem was our passing was a yard short every time, Albrighton was absolutely dire and looked like a pub player. I'd like to see Gabby given a run on the wing and start Bent and Benteke up front

We looked dire today, really really poor. Last week we missed a goalscorer, this week we lacked a lot of things. Seriously worried about Tuesday night now..

El Ahmadi is shite, I just don't see what he brings to the side?

Creates a yard, breaks up play, he doesn't do a glamerous job and needs help in the middle, Delph is poor positionally

Vlaar is such a liability at times

Milk turns faster

Delph has made too really good long passes but short passing has been awful, would like to see Bannan and Ireland on

Stop playing it back ffs, so so boring!

Gabby lacks confidence on the final ball/shot

Our passing has been awful today, leaves us with too much work to do, always a yard short

Still against the run of play, couldn't give a flying one! Come on!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YAY! A shot!

Guzan really is a good keeper and seems to have come of age.

My God this is a truly awful game. Not really been too impressed by Albrighton so far, definitely not living up to his promise

Poor start by us, really really poor. Both teams looked nervous but Norwich don't look bad going forward. Well, they keep the ball well but didn't look like scoring

Lambert had plenty of opportunity to sign a creative midfielder. Instead we got KEA who may be a tidy footballer but is neither a creative midfielder or indeed the type of defensive midfielder we needed to protect our inexperienced back four!

Those issues should have been addressed first including a link man between our midfield and Bent, if Lambert was going to play without width. The fact that Bent isn't getting the service required is again down to Lambert due to the players he has signed and indeed the way in which we are presently set up. The balance of the side is all wrong and it is no fluke that we have not picked the points up we should have with a reasonably easy start to the season.

Lambert did'nt have 'his hands tied.' Presently he has failed in his choice of player to compliment the system he wants to play and even if his hands were tied he should be setting our team up to play to it's strength's rather than allowing teams to prey on our weaknesses.

We needed someone like KEA because our midfield was powderpuff and had no bite and no one with some compusure, I think he's playing well if I'm honest.

I thought Ireland would be the link between Bent and the midfield, but he doesn't do enough for me, I like him as a composed midfielder but I'd rather get a really clever creative midfielder in thats on the same wavelength as Bent

I actually think the thing we lack is a creative midfielder and width in the formation, he only had pre season to see for himself whats going on with the team, lets see what he does in January but in the meantime, hope N'zogbia and Albrighton discover what there supposed to do. Lambert has his hands tied

Any combination of players you use looks poor. Our 25 man squad contains at least 22 shit players

I've got some prozac in the cupboard if you need some?

Seriously people, are we playing Barcelona today? Yeah its not the best Villa team of recent years, but were better than Norwich

I heard a rumour the big orange thing in the sky comes from David Moyes arse

No, Lambert is not the right man. He never was and he never will be, the quicker he has gone the better. He is awful

Did Lambert walk into your house on Christmas day and piss on your tree?

I've heard that both will be out in force, which means a ridiculous police level for Tuesday me thinks...

Really???? A better manager?

Aside from taking a good Newcastle side up, and missing out on promotion with a good championship side, has he achieved all that much?

Best player I've ever seen live would be Rooney, Ronaldo never seemed to play well at VP

Zidane and Messi would be the best I'ver ever seen on TV, Torres really was unplayable and I think he'll find that form again soon
