Lambert speaks:
« on: March 04, 2013, 01:14:59 PM »
Paul Lambert has been talking to Yahoo, in an exclusive interview in which he says of the Villa job, "I love the challenge of it. The size of the club underlines just how big a challenge it is and I love the pressure of that. It is a great club to be associated with and the fans have been great, they’ve stuck with us and that has been a huge help. I hope over the next 11 games we can see the job through for them" and of the relegation battle, "We don’t have a points target as such because you can never be sure how well a team is going to do. As I said, there are a lot of points to be played for over the next 11 games, so we’ll just have to wait and see. With the way the lads are playing at the moment I can see us picking up some really good wins. In respect of a points target I’m really not sure what is going to be enough to keep any of the teams up."

He's sensibly taking the 'fans are great' route.

Too many Managers start laying into the supporters when things start going tits up (see David O'Leary).

And Rafa Benitez.

It's amazing how the same comments can be wheeled out over and over again for an entire season and presented as news each time.  I don't blame Lambert for saying the same thing every time - it normally goes wrong for managers when they veer off script - but it does dull any interest in what he's got to say.

Overall, i'd say our supporters are fairly reasonable and patient.
I've sat/stood in the Wolves, Albion, Coventry and Blues home ends and they all moan far worse than we ever could.

I was at an Albion game in the late 80's against Portsmouth, they were 3-0 up at half time and as the second half started, they were moaning their fucking heads off at the players.

Aye. 

Performances have been largely sub standard this season, but he hasn't given it any "Aston Villa fan's expect too much because they won a European Cup once."  So far, at least.   Even McLeish started coming out with that shite towards the end.   

We didn't expect/ demand that under him or O'Dreary, a point that seems to be forgotten any time suggestions of unrealistic expectations end up in print.

If the same questions are being asked over and over again, why would you expect him to give different answers?
