The current Villa squad is capable of much more than they’re showing.
I've always believed going right back to his 'kids' squad in his first season, Lambert's teams are far better than they show. The 'young and hungry' plan would have been a gem if we'd had the right manager, instead it was led by somebody unqualified to develop them. The plan was eventually abandoned but it does cross my mind every now and then where we would be today if we'd had the right manager and coaches to roll out such a plan.
Now it would appear we're going to try the 'grassroots' approach, investing in youth instead of proven talent. It's another plan doomed to fail. In the meantime, we're expected to believe in it, trusting it will one day bear fruit. Does anybody really feel it's a realistic plan that will get us playing the kind of football and the success that comes with it with Lambert in charge?
We're like a dog chasing it's tail. It's all so bloody pointless. If it was any other club than Aston Villa I'd be laughing out loud, it's so ridiculous but there you have it. Lions led by donkeys.
