Boycotting the games is a waste of time . Loads have been doing it the last couple of years and it will steadily increase if the situation stays the same but it's had no effect on the football as it has stayed shit. I suggest getting rid of 'shit support M'lord' and start singing the lords prayer instead- with hands together of course. Any thoughts?

Fair enough. Just thought it was a little harsh on him though. You don't have to keep banging the drum though if somebody's not listening or your head Oh and the Bent, Zog and Ireland not being good players. Was that before they came to Villa to work with average at best managers or before?

That was okay I suppose. Lambert though appears to dispense candy from his arse! Both have been abysmal managers for Villa for very similar reasons. Lerner can't distinguish a good scot manager from a shit one.

It does very much appear to be heading this way. What pisses me personally is he has in essence thrown every season ticket holders money down the drain this year if this is the case though. Also there is nothing concrete to suggest Lambert will get us back up either and I wouldn't personally reward the prick for failure!

That will reduce the wage bill to zero in weeks!!

What criticisms are scraping the barrell? Villa being shit! Or are you saying nothings his fault and it's all down to Randy. And I have every right to question his tactical intelligence after the performances and decision making we've witnessed this season. And I'm sorry but to claim that a manager isn't responsible for his players on the pitch is a little blind. I'm not saying Lambert is to blame for all of them but none of them? So he's only responsible for the players he brought in, is that what your saying the rest don't matter?

He knows what? What pant's Lambert wears? What Randy had for Lunch?!

Your a very patronising person hairyhands! AndyM has only from what I can see in his previous posts questioned the situation at the club he supports. Questioned the managers logic as most of us have recently and the transfer situation. Maybe he has had a little rant but don't we all. Then you talk down to Andy like he's an angry fool after questioning his intelligence(are you thick??, try to sound less angry, are you moonman etc). I'm questioning whether or not you are PL, a mate of PL or PL's PA because you appear to be into PL more than AV. Fan's have every right to question all that goes on down the Villa especially under present circumstances. Most people would agree not all of Lamberts signings have been poor however I think the majority of people have issues with both Lerner and Lambert. The former for being a voiceless prick and the latter for being tactically unintelligent, his inability to get the best out of what he's got, organise the team or improve on mistakes, same shit excuses - take your pick I could go on?! Personally I might question it but I don't judge any manager on the players they buy, only what they do with them. And although I agree that some of his signings are decent with the likes of Benteke, Vlaar and Lowton,in my opinion he's done **** all with decent players in Bent,Ireland and NZog(until recently) and nothing with the rest of the squad!

I just don't see any improvement at all in the areas we commit the most errors. Set pieces, Midfield play, tactically. It's like nobody is improving on weaknesses. Now I honestly believe the time spent training would improve us on the mistakes we keep making, yet either the players are completely retarded or the blind(Lambert) is leading the blind(players). And I think it's plainly obvious things point to the later. Why the hell would you hire or employ so called professionals to continually make the same errors which are to all who see bloody obvious? Lambert is tactically inept and unable to teach, improve or organise a team he manages. It's unacceptable IMO.

Should've been sacked after the wigan game. I think the fact that fans have tried to show complete patience and back the team whatever, however this is seriously backfiring now as time is running out. I honestly think a more tactically clever manager would have had us more organised than this prat. He needs to go asap!

"Proud History, The end is nigh"

Awesome!! Shame though that what ever he's holding on to isn't wrapped around his neck like saddam.

A lot of Villa fan's need to start showing some nut's before it becomes to late and start voicing frustrations and anger towards the club. Lambert needs to **** off, tactically he ain't got a danny la rue, the players don't have a **** clue what their doing, they definitely don't play for him and all we get are the same bullshit tedious excuses, game after game. Lerner is just a clearing in the woods with a hooby that he has obviously become bored of and Faulkner is just a little chubby botty boy they FA use for tea making. If the club is run in a shitty fashion by retarded people whether it's the owner, manager etc it's the fan's duty to let the world know that they expect better. The fan's are the heart and soul of the club, not players or staff and I cannot believe that anyone who claims to love Villa can continually back any of the management at the moment as they are all fuckwits. Lambert included because it appears Villa as massive a club as we are seem to be possibly one of the only clubs in the whole of the English league that would except this shit and still say "Lambo's the man". Anyone would think he's the pied piper. He should be executed by fan's blasting the ball in his face in front of the Holte End IMO. Sorry peeps very childlike but needed the rant.

Con, you still didn't come back with a real argument to my comment. As Woodytom said, "The teams are higher up the league because they are better players. If you tell our lads to go and pass it shorter it wont make a difference. Its not about shorter passing, its about creating space which we are awful at - hence why we tend to kick it long in hope". This is more of a factor as to why we are in our current position along with poor formations and tactics, not passing averages. Like This

I second that. We aren't exactly a very attractive proposition at the moment. Run by knob jockey's.

Totally agree with you sharky. Problem is though I also think the wing back system we adopt most of the time because of our weaknesses in midfield allows the opposition fullbacks to push on to much at times, then putting sustained pressure on the back line which in turn becomes too congested. Hence our inability to clear our lines or play the ball out from the back effectively enough allow forward momentum. The system works in a counter attacking situation but if you lose the connection between midfield and upfront as we did against albion, your ****. It's obvious we have massive midfield issues but I honestly think at the moment with the inexperience on the flanks we need to start playing higher up the pitch and attack more frequently. I would make the most out of the senior players now they are all generally fit. Revert to the 4-4-2 system, play Gabby and NZog out wide, Bent and Benteke upfront with Wiemann rotating with either. and get clark in the middle with ireland, Delp or Holman. Thoughts?

Con, Surely if we were passing the ball a further 2 metres than we should be as you put it the League table would be a reflection of the average pass length table you have provided? It provides absolutely no argument to suggest if we shortened our passing we would be a better team. If it did Wigan would be in contention for a european place and we should be mid table battling it out with spurs and everton. Makes no sense! .

I agree with everything in your post apart from I don't necessarily think albion woke up I think we just made the wrong subs. Taking zog off so soon allowed albion to push on further and we became to static and lost the threat between the midfield and up front. We looked really good going forward today that's why I find it more bewildering why we continually take players off who carry an attacking threat and draw pressure on. Bannan was a poor replacement for delph today- was herd on the bench?, if so would've been a better option to screen the back line or even holman would've been more of a physical presence. Tactics and lack of intelligent decision making are really costing us points we could be gaining as well as a shit CM. I am actually starting to wonder now though that if someone like Redknapp was charge instead of Lambert with the same players to choose from would we be better tactically and get more from the players, especially the likes of ireland, Bent etc. Just thought's, but I really believe a more tactical, man manager would get more from this team and I wonder if Lerner is thinking the same but is really looking for more fan pressure to act? Maybe that would explain the lack of support. Who knows either way it's a desperate situation and IMO albion were there for the taking today. 2 points lost.

He's been getting better since brought back into the team. Tthought he was quality today and can't understand why he was taken off so early. I think if he had stayed on we would've scored on the counter again.

Nobody can defend this lightweight clown anymore. My lad play's CM at academy level under 16's and I would put money on him bullying bannan all day. I'm truly suprised he made it through the youth system. He is shit end of!

Lambert gave the game away today with poor substitutions. Should never have brought on bannan and took Nzogbia off to early. Why do we try to defend when we can't. Should have carried on putting pressure on albion instead of conceding the lead like that. He really is a proper prat and will take us down make no mistake.

I would've taken a draw before the game yet after going 2 up and conceding the game with defensive subs putting us back under pressure Lambert has now proven beyond any doubt that he is tactically inept. What a utter turd!

Poor subs cost us. **** idiot Lambert!!!

what the **** is bannan doing on? He's contributing the best part of **** all. Even John Gregory mentioned it.

I think it's a mistake taking zog off. Allowing albion to push on more. hold on tight!!
