Fulham v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[damon loves JT]

I'm still reeling from the news that we're over £100 in debt.

A lot of us aren't happy with all things Villa right now, but can we leave out the bickering and sniping at each other please. By all means debate, discuss and even argue. But keep it civil.

Oh bollox to it. Lets have a big fight on here, be very uncivil and rude. Get the beers in and lets get stinking drunk and type things we regret. Has a post match thread ever got locked down?
OK Villa fans verbally fighting each other on H & V is never pretty but at least it will be more interesting than what we saw today. Because apart from us getting nothing out the game, up until us conceding and realising yet again we are poor, it was also dull. Dull dull boring yawning dull.

I have no problem with folks arguing/debating with each other. It's insulting each other that won't be accepted, especially now i've asked nicely for folks to not do it. Say things are great, say things are shit, it doesn't matter, but be respectful to other posters.

We were really, really poor today.  I think Lambert will be the manager to put the nail into our Premier League coffin.  The players he's bought just aren't good enough, and for all the fact that the football is marginally better than under McLeish, crucially it's worse than the other teams we have to play in the league.  I just can't see an end to us being crap.

For a level of indebtedness in three figures it's the least you'd expect.

I don't know where the team that played so well against Swansea, Newcastle or Man City disappears to.

Step forward Andreas Weimann, it was his nuisance play up front that always gave us an option, his hard work, endevour and the way he used to drop back into midfield areas meant that the opposition had to pick him up and track him leaving gaps for our midfield to play forward. Its no co-incidence that since he's been out the side and we've had 2 static forwards up front that our midfield passes have become sideways, back, back, sideways, sideways, back, sideways etc.

Joke all you want. Reality is we owe Randy a fortune and have a pub and mosaic to show for it. No buyer would touch us with a barge pole.

What about if I throw in an Nzogbia or raise you an Ireland?

In Dougs day those levels of debt would have provoked board room power struggles and EGMs.

Stride would have had his Luncheon Vouchers stopped.

Tell me, what has Lerner ever done for us ?
A free coach to Chelsea.
OK, well apart from a pub, a mosaic, a free trip to Chelsea, what has Lerner ever done for us ?

For 3 years he gave it a real crack to try and break the top four- since then he seems to have allowed the club to slip backwards at alarming rate and shown a real lack of ambition.

The likes of Albion,stoke and Sunderland have all passed us and we are competing in the bottom 6 with little hope of improvement unless we can sign players of proven quality and for for that substantial cash is needed- we seem to be standing still and letting others pass us.

It occurred to me watching the game that our major problem is that if we're going to play that system then the fullbacks have to offer a lot more in an attacking sense. I'm not saying they won't be able too, but it's crucial they offer width which they aren't at the moment and it means we don't create any angles or space.

[Lobsterboy]

5 points and 6 goals in 8 games tells its own tale; simply not good enough

Nice to see Bent back in the side but pointless unless we are going to have some width to create the chances for him. Gabby needs to make way for Benteke too. If Bent goes 5 games in the Premiership without a goal he gets branded useless/a passenger but Gabby is heading towards a full season of games without a goal

Same as my first point; simply not good enough
