ciggiesnbeer Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I got more stats around points instead of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted January 29, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2014 A lot of people will think this is bullshit, but I truly think there'll be a point in a couple years where all Villa fans, even the most stubborn, will look back and wonder how they ever doubted Lambert. If that point comes, I don't know of a single poster on here who would mind being reminded of it. We all want success. The fact that we don't have success currently is where the (legitimate) doubt originates from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 So were back to arguing over points per game rather than the improvement in the quality of football? Only took 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Liverpool away where's the improvement in the quality of football? Its been much worse than how we finished last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Lets be honest though you pick what ever time period fits your argument. All of last season v all of this season so far? Interested to know which time period you think would be more appropriate??? Well we average pretty much the same points this season as we did all of last season. as I said yesterday which you conveniently ignored that we are 4 points up from last season and while this time last season we lost to Southampton and Wigan this season we have competed with Arsenal and Liverpool 2 teams in the title race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would feel that was 'bullshit.' He could turn out to be a very good manager and if he does then he will get my full support but and it's a big but, at the moment considering his overall record with us to date he has a long way to go to reach that point.

Unreal To be fair, I support Lerner/Lambert, but still have doubts, and if things turn out the way I hope they will, then they will have my total support. I think it is too early yet even for a Lerner/Lambert supporter to have a definitive opinion. We hope, of course, but we cannot be sure at present how things will turn out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never stated that I expect Lambert to be remarkable and it's just as well because he hasn't been. I was only taking the piss r.e: the support aspect. I don't think he's done a fantastic job or anything like but I'm still completely supportive of the manager. Seems silly not to support him otherwise (unless he was quite literally destroying the club, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently on course to get the same points total as last season. We currently average pretty much the same points per game as we did for the entire 12/13 season.

It's almost as if your comparing Lambert to a type of cheese suggesting he will mature and taste better with age Perhaps we should start calling him Paul Camembert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
