Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong.

An absolute disgrace.

[NurembergVillan]

Absolute dross as usual.

 

It's like the final season of O'Leary and Ellis, except then everyone could see the problems whereas now people are making excuses for abject incompetence at all levels of the club.

[roonst83]

Clueless and in a massive scrap to stay in the league. Just awful.

[CarewsEyebrowDesigner]

An unacceptable loss against a team around us.

[samjp26]

Just 4 points off the relegation zone now. There were periods in the first half where we had a lot of the ball but couldn't seem to work out what to do with it. We desperately needed somebody creative and January was the period of time where we could have brought that player in, we didn't.

 

Albrighton MOTM for a very good performance in the 30 minutes he was on the pitch. We were unlucky not to score after he came on as he put a lot of balls in, but it was too late by then thanks to two blunders that cost us two goals. Lapses in concentration cost us just like they did last season.

 

This was a game we should have been winning, a draw at bare minimum, but instead we come out with 0 points. Hold on to your seats fellas!

No Vlaar = no points = no hope

[Caddy]

Lambert Out.

[donnie]

We cant defend. We have one of the poorest midfields in the premiership. Our manager is tactically inept. We are fackin shite.

But hey.....WE GO AGAIN!

[regular_john]

Why do we need to go behind before we start playing? They were there for the taking today and instead of going for it we play like cowards as we did against Everton. 

[The_Steve]

Two mistakes led to two goals. Two efforts hit the woodwork. Why the team only starts playing when we concede is bizarre. However, at least Albrighton has played his way into contention for Cardiff. 2-0 does not accurately reflect the match but it's a game we should have gotten more out of but didn't. The likes of Benteke and Gabby were poor and it really showed.

[Farlz]

Abysmal.

 

Albrighton was our MOTM by a million miles yet Lambert still probably won't play him against Cardiff.

[Raymond]

68% possession (61% at half). A bevy of clear chances.

It is Lambert's fault they did not go in though I suppose. Have fun working yourselves into tizzies.

[Stumblebum]

Best ground in the Championship.

[Davkaus]

Year on year, we're performing better in the league table.

 

Superb.

[trekka]

Terrible.  I'll be holding my ears later this evening if I decide to watch MOTD.  I just can't bring myself to hear the words "We go again". 

[flashingqwerty]

Defeat to west ham at villa park!

Relegation beckons. Lambert really is clueless.

To all those who told me we didnt need another cb in jan please look at todays cbs and tell me youre happy? Neither are competent at cb and without vlaar our defence is useless.
