foreveryoung Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 he's not going anywhere, absolutely no danger, reading the reports of yesterdays game theres a bit of criticism as to how poor we are but he's not under pressure from journos i tweeted henry winter about his record, they simply don't care, the likes of collymore and yorke have been moaning but we / they dont get the coverage required for that to gain momentum, sky have a giggle at us every week but they arent putting him under pressure, the protest was a waste of time because it was the wrong game (10k more people there than the game before made it look like nothing happened) and the better fan brigade inside VP means that there still hasnt been a real good pop at him during a game i dont think he's under pressure, lots of vitriol on message boards and social media but nothing during games, he gets away with murder, he timed his fans booing having a negative effect on the team to perfection Lose against Hull and it'll start at the next home game. Fans won't be to patient after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If he is not sacked, the fans will force him out in the end, believe me! It should have been done ages ago. I can't remember many protests at the Villa but I think there was one about the board/manager where there were a lot of people marching down the Trinity road? Must be around 10-15 years ago.

Shaw_nuff Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Before the Arsenal debacle I thought the next two matches (Ars and Chelsk) would be throw-aways for Lambert as nothing was expected. But I think if we produce another toothless display against Chelsea it will all go very sour. I don't care if their team costs fifteen quadzillion quid per toe, it's still 11 v 11 and we're at home. At least match them in effort and movement, even if we couldn't pass wind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 3, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2015 I said before they happened that I'd judge arsenal and chelsea on performances and not results. If CHelsea turn up and play 100%, then they'll beat us regardless. But we have to still turn up ourselves. Against those teams you have to make sure you perform so if they have an off day you capitalise. But you're right. We can't do what we did against Arsenal or confidence will be rock bottom against Hull. ANd that game is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Vs top four teams our record is probably best vs arsenal away and Chelsea and home so I didn't see them as throw away games, that comparison vs last year game for game where even when we were on our 5 game losing streak and we were still 7 points better off, I'd guess that's no longer the case, 6 points in these 2 games last year (and possibly the worst game of football I've ever seen at hull away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Honestly If I were the coach given the circumstances I might field a reserve side against Chelsea and rest the players to focus on the Hull Match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1974Centenary Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 This time last year a one point improvement was classed as a sign of progress by Lambert.Well guess what,it wasn't then and it isn't now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted February 3, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2015 Honestly If I were the coach given the circumstances I might field a reserve side against Chelsea and rest the players to focus on the Hull Match Then we'd go ahead and lose two matches, probably. I say go for it. Our supporters deserve to see a real battle against Chelski, with respect to the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the anti Ellis protest with the "Ellis Out" and "£" placards. If he is not sacked, the fans will force him out in the end, believe me!

Risso Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think the game against Chelsea will be the equivalent of McLeish's Bolton game, when the crowd finally turns wholesale against Lambert and lets him know just how useless he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Honestly If I were the coach given the circumstances I might field a reserve side against Chelsea and rest the players to focus on the Hull Match He'd be hung, drawn and quartered if he did that. Lambert needs to get a few wins at home pretty quickly and throughout his Villa tenure he has been incapable of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I don't mind Lambert as a person, think he really wants to do well but for some reason or another, it just isn't working. You can see he looks beaten, defeated before we even step onto the pitch. Think he hasn't been helped much by Randy as he has effectively left him as a one man band. But this is a results business and he needs to be sacked for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
