Title: Where now and who next for Paul Lambert's Villa?
Post by: Mizpah on June 15, 2013, 06:06:50 PM: Not sure if this has been posted already but this analysis puts a very positive light on certain things at VP. Just to add to the general air of optimism!

Come on the Young Lions, UTV.

I don't have the exact figures to hand, but I vaguely remember us being (FWIW) a top half team based on half time scores. This is at odds with this guy's suggestion that we conceded because we were chasing the game.

I think a clearer picture was that because we were weak as a defensive unit we went for more or less all-out attack.

Villa were the 3rd best form team for the closing stages of last seasons EPL. They will remove more of the overpaid non contributors this summer and have already snapped up exciting young talent such as Tonev, Okore and Bacuna.

That wasn't in the article but reading it makes me feel good!
