R.Bear

He's been useless in the last dozen games. 28 years old as well. He isnt getting any better. It was a gamble signing and it hasnt come off. Get rid in Jan/summer.

Another excellent game from Bradley. Where would we be without him? That save from Michu was world class, a certain goal denied. Our keeper is one position we dont have to worry about. Having said that, if he gets injured, it could be the difference between staying up or going down.

He is such a good finisher when he gets it right. Smacks it in or skies it. Getting better though. Good finishers are worth their weight in gold and he cost us nothing.

Doing really well? We were horrendous against Reading (our easiest game of the season) and were lucky to win. Those first 80 minutes were as bad as I've seen from us in terms of attacking. We collapsed against Man United, stuffed by man City, got lucky against Liverpool. We barely created anything against Stoke or Arsenal and could have easily lost to QPR. We werent doing really well. We rode our luck and and had one great win. Our tactics are shit. We have slowly gotten more and more route one because as has been our problem for a decade, we have no creativity in the centre of midfield and dont have players to take people on in this position. In other words, if a team is set up well defensively, we are in trouble. Under MON our biggest problem was exactly this. If a mediocre team came to VP and went 1-0 up it was a big worry. We would look clueless in trying to break them down. Most of best results under MON were away victories. Anyway, the point is nothing has changed.

So its come to this, being glad that other shit relegation fodder teams are going to be missing key players. Seriously the Swansea game was a miracle. Forget Michu hitting the post the first time, if Guzan hadnt pulled off that wonder save onto the post, we would have been demolished. What really scares me is that after a great unbeaten run we do as badly as its possible to do for three straight games. It would have been four at Swansea taken their chances. That's frightening. I mean you could have literally put a monkey in charge for those games and the team wouldnt have lost 0-8, 0-4 and 0-3. We all thought it was a means to an end, constant improvement and then it explodes in our face. If we got a couple of games with decent results, is it going to explode again? I dont even know what to make of Lambert right now. All I can go on is what I see. And what I see is... Mostly poor signings Ineffective tactics Ineffective subs Rubbish football Low possession stats Abysmal defending It's not looking good atm for his long-term future. I hope I get proved wrong.

It was Bennett wasnt it who committed himself like a 10 year old when Dyer had the ball on the right for the goal? Jumped up to block the shot, Dyer faked, went past him then had the freedom of the pitch so get a ball in.

Gutted. But obviously we would have taken a point before the game. Our clearances in the last few minutes were shite.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Should have got it clear.

B)

Bannan on. Last minute pen for Villa!!

We actually look like a football team atm.

Benteke would have been in there. Unlucky Weimann.

Holman on for Stevens.

Delph really was an horrendous signing. All that hype and we managed to get him, we were all really chuffed. Its arguable whether he is even a Championship footballer.

WEIMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

There is no defence for Lambert atm. We are 20 games into the season and are staring relegation in the face. If we are to sack him then it has to be soon otherwise the new man hasnt got time (and a window) to do anything about it. 4 thrashings in a row is inexcusable, any way you spin it.

Weimann is acres on the right wing. About 7 Swansea players in the box and Benteke. That's why we arent scoring goals.

Guzan the only player coming out of this with any credit, just as the last 3 games.

Michu is awesome.

I dont know why Lambert is getting such an easy ride. It's his team and he's had 20 games. And we are getting progressively worse every game.

We are like a lower league team playing in the FA Cup. I dont think I can even watch this for much longer, it's painful.

They should be out of sight and its 10 minutes in. Worst Villa team ever. Lowest Villa eb in a generation. Lambert has a a lot to answer for.

I dont think I can ever remember being this negative before a game before. I cant see us getting anything. If we fail to score again

15 goals in 20 games. Sorry, what's changed from last season again? Other than our defence has gotten even worse?

We can't score goals. We can't defend. We can't keep the ball. We have been thumped three games in a row, twice at home. Worst GD in the league. There is not a single reason to be positive right now. Not one. We are in absolute dire straits.
