I've had to had a lie down recently with all going on! I've insulted one or two Risso/fletcher again I apologise it got all too much.. Lets judge manager and owner at 11pm on Thursday. I just don't see changing manager being right. Lambert hasn't become shit overnight.. He has a battle on every game and we as fans just have to pick ourselves up and go again... Aston Villa will never be a disgrace.
He hasn't become a bad manager - and I'd actually back him to do well in a few years. Though maybe not with us.
He has a pretty major blindspot when it comes to the defensive aspect of things though. He did at Norwich too, seemingly. They were probably the worst side we faced defensively at VP last season.
The element of surprise and their general forward momentum helped them a lot -they were a club on the up (thanks in no small part to PL) and their players were busting a gut to prove they belonged in the top flight.
Our players -with a few exceptions- are not lower division (though some might end up there by the looks of things) triers desperate to make a name for themselves. Different mindest, different approach required.
What surprises me most is that Karsa and Culverhouse had a reputation for doing their homework on the opposition last season. Our weakness from set pieces was obvious even then, as was our tendency to concede late. If they'd watched us, they'd know that. Not addressing that (in fact, if anything it's got worse) is neglectful. Neglectful enough to be losing jobs over.
