  1. I think if we don't get complacent like we did today we will be fine. Fulham, Norwich and Cardiff are going to drop. Norwich's next game is so huge if they lose we 'should' be safe

  2. Had enough of supporting Lambert today! Played about 4 players out of position and wonders why we cannot win at home. Even with the injuries we had we still had enough players to play in their correct positions. Also, what does he say to the lads at HT? We always have a 15 minute spell after the break where we are all over the place. If you have a home record like this nobody can be blamed but the manager imo.

  3. Best player by a mile today. Held up play exceptionally, and he might be unfit but he was extremely clever with the ball today and glad he got his goal. Benteke would have been no better than Holt today. Nice to have a player who likes to wind up defences too (a la Kevin Davies). Keep it up Holty

  4. Me and a couple of friends are going via the official coaches tomorrow. Does anyone know whether i will be able to leave my car at Villa park ? Or will i have to find somewhere else to park? 

  5. I don't honestly see the hype with him tbh. Any striker in our team will be top goalscorer regardless of quality because we play one up top. I don't think it would be a bad idea dropping him for a game and giving him a kick up the arse.

  6. As a supporter of Aston Villa iv'e learned if we play for a draw we lose. It was so predictable at 1-0 what was going to happen. I hope you lot at least made a few quid of it. If Vlaar is out for the west ham game, we will get battered physically and we better pray carrol's red is not overturned because we will lose. 

  7. Merson was right about him today on SSN, saying that its a great credit to him that he came to us as many players would have been happy sitting comfortable at chelsea. Looks a quality player and looks to have a cracking attitude, really hope a permanent deal will be done in the summer.

  8. I think he and Benteke could cause teams problems. Holt is very good at hold up play and drawing fouls from defenders. If Lambert did not insist on floated corners all the time we could be very dangerous from set pieces. I don't know what all the abuse is for. As long as he puts effort in for the club i can't see a loan being a problem. 

  9. Hi everyone :) New to the forum, i just want to give my opinion on our current squad and where i think we need improving. First of all i for one think strength in the spine of the team is the most important part to any team that operates successfully in this league. After watching Villa home and away this season it strikes me how small our team is in comparison to other teams and is the reason we lack so much possession. Its so important we sign a big central midfield destroyer type player this window just to add some presence to the midfield. The current lack of presence is why teams like Sheffield, Millwall and Bradford find us so easy to play against never mind the prem teams. I'm not sure of any players of this mould available but a player like N'zonzi would fit straight into our team. I don't think a creative midfielder is priority at the moment as i cannot see a lack of goals being the reason we find ourselves in the rut towards the lower end of the league come the end of the season.
