DCJonah Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think he's got a tough decision to make sunday regarding team selection. I said it before the season started, unfortunately it's not going to take much for those that are heading to villa park to lose patience with him this year. If we set up like we did against newcastle and barely have a chance on goal I think some fans will turn even this early into the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonpaul Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ah come on shit result late performance but let's face it's priority 1 staying in the league and priority two finishing 9th to 13th? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't think there is a priority 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Apparently a journalist from the Express & Star has mentioned the press conference being tomorrow morning, but as far as he knows, it's just for Sundays game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 He has not going to be sacked. If the club was pro-active at all, he would have been gone the day after the season ended, after the fans turned on him at Palace. No point in keeping him all summer and then sacking him in August. He has happy to work with a rubbish budget and very average players, and Lerner is happy to keep the club ticking over in the prem until somebody with more money than sense will take it off him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Seen the highlights, albeit not that many. Poor finishing. But from a poor side so what can we expect? Can't polish a turd. Money is needed to buy a turd that CAN be polished. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeftSide Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Press conference at 9am apparently? I've been reading TBAR and they're getting worked up about it even though a journalist has told one of them it's just a normal pre game press conference. I'm on both TBAR and here and I'd say they are getting nowhere near worked up, there are a few questions met with about a resounding it's just the weekly presser.

PieFacE Posted August 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Don't they always have a press conference on a Thursday when there's a game on the weekend? Some people will get excited over anything. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't pay to watch that tonight. It's bad enough attending Premier League games to be honest with Lambert as the manager. Boring bloke, boring football, boring tactics.... everything about Villa is just boring. That said, sacking him would be the dumbest thing we could do. Untill we get a takeover he's our best bet.

Money is needed to buy a turd that CAN be polished. Simples. Exactly how many players do we need before we are no longer a turd? 2? 3? 5? 11?! You need to play the way you want to when you have "better" players - otherwise you are just treading water and have nothing to fall back on when injuries and suspensions come. After 2 seasons of Lambert, this is my biggest disappointment. Sure, you get bad results from time to time - but I see no improvement in our approach. In fact, I think some of our players have regressed under him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i've read it differently to how it was intended. Just seemed strange that anyone would question it when a journalist has said it's just a pre game normal press conference.

mikeyp102 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Another wonderful result against lower league opposition. How many more years of this do we have to endure before people admit that Lambert has to go. 13 shots and (I think) a majority of the play. I'd suggest there is one problem, a lack of quality and no funds to change that. Gabby, Bent, Weimann are substandard, not good enough, not the answer. How much did the Orient team cost? Are they better quality than the players we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, this is his third season now with this group of players, he should be stamping a certain style on this team by now. But it seems if we can't play kick and rush counter attack style football there's no plan B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Don't they always have a press conference on a Thursday when there's a game on the weekend? Some people will get excited over anything. I thought it is usually on Friday if the league game on Saturday? I mught be totally wrong about that though. Either way, I'm sure it is just a normal presser. Edit: Oops...meant to write Sunday of course. Edited August 27, 2014 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think they're just questioning it because Press Conferences for Sunday games are normally on a Friday and they aren't usually as far as I'm aware at 9:30 AM in the morning. There has to be a reason for it, just probably not a very exciting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midian Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Probably early so has more time looking for players before transfer window close and not doing presser half way through day etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw_nuff Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Suppose a good example is Mark Hughes at Stoke, he managed to turn their playing style around albeit having added a few additions but he stamped his philosophy on the team, something which Lambert sadly hasn't done. Really wanted him to do well but as one of his staunchest supporters Ive lost hope. As someone said earlier he is nearing the end. I don't want a British manager at Villa park anymore, want a continental manager who understands the passing game. There isn't enough of them in the UK Sadly, you may be talking about both players and managers in this country. We never learn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeftSide Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Just watched the lowlights on itv and worryingly they said Orient made 6 changes for this game and left out some big players for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've been so bloody angry with him after the cup defeats but I'm not sure how much of this one is his fault. The midfield worked with Sanchez and Westwood. It worked well. They didn't have a sniff in there. We got the ball out to wings time after time but the final delivery was just atrocious. Is that Lambert's fault? And Bent was awful. Should be going home with 2 goals tonight. Even the defence wasn't that bad. Senderos had a good game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Bent should have converted at least one of those chances. No manager can legislate for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
