We are shit and going down and anybody who thinks anything else needs to take the tinted specs off. This is an awful Villa side, look at the line up ffs!! A mixture of very average youth players that will never make it and a few over paid, over rated older pros who couldn't give a fuck. Oh and Nathan (League 1 player at best) Delfouneso.Rubbish.Nobody has said we've been anything but poor so far this season.Where people differ is in their opinion that one (or two) games is not enough to start moaning at the manager.The problem is obviously players. Not enough of them, and the ones we have got are nowhere near good enough.Totally agree. Lambert is a decent manager but has been given basically no money (where was the 20 odd million kitty? - we have probably spent net £5m and our wages are probably lower this season). The players we have are simply not good enough and some are performing nowhere near their ability (i include nzogbia, ireland and bent in particular here but, certainly with the first 2, i cant see it getting any better either).

Here's our first team squad, but without the unproven kids, with Hutton and Warnock taken out, and with those youth products with proven experience left in.There's a dreadful lack of quality in there.Shay Given (G) 22 Brad Guzan (G) 33 Andy Marshall (G) 4 Ron Vlaar (D) 5 Richard Dunne (D) 6 Ciaran Clark (D) 34 Matthew Lowton (D) 7 Stephen Ireland (M) 8 Karim El Ahmadi (M) 10 Charles N'Zogbia (M) 12 Marc Albrighton (M) 14 Brett Holman (M) 16 Fabian Delph (M) 9 Darren Bent (F) 11 Gabriel Agbonlahor (F)
No investment x3yrs (save for Bent), sell off the best players. We're going down. At least when the squad looked this bad, Ellis would recognise that he needed to spend and he'd get the chequebook out. Time for Lerner to go and to take that young inexperienced pup of a CEO with him - good bean counter, poor football businessman.
The General said he predicts at least a 12th place finish
Quality centre mid, left back, striker and winger needed in a week. £30m please Randy, back your man.
