He's saying it in the context of this match.  Everyone at QPR, the media etc. were all fired up for the big story of QPR/Harry getting their first win.  That was quite a bit of pressure for a young Villa side to handle and it would have been easy to allow that "script" to get into the players' minds.  In the context of all of that, it was a good result.  One thing Lambert hasn't been this season is small-time in his attitude, in my view.

It was all set up for a HandsomeHarryFest. The Law of Sod dictates that we should've lost today. We didn't.

We'll be alright. Sooner or later the kids will click.

Still confident about us stopping up but for fuck sake, can we get some sort of clue in the final third of the pitch. Tired of building from the back, only to see 10-15 passes and then guess what happens, Guzan kicks the ball out again and we loose possesion, It is all getting a bit bloody predictable at the moment, same shit, different game. We are going to be doing this all season and Benteke will be gone in the summer to a top six club, he is fantastic, another talent lost from our lack lustre club. Why did Bent stay on the bench ? We have things drastically wrong at Villa and i am worried for our place in the Prem and us as a club. What the fuck have we become FFS ? a FUCKING LAUGHING STOCK AT THE MOMENT, that is what we are. Stoke, Liverpool and Chelsea next three games,no fucking points from the next three games unless that pig headed manager of ours gets his act together and uses a proven goal scorer. Fuck it, it is boring ,mind numbing to watch and simply not fucking good enough. Fucking shit in my opinion and if this is what we are going to settle for then it is a fucking poor show. SPEND SOME MONEY LERNER AND THEN LAMBERT STANDS A CHANCE FFS.

Good post, I feel your pain and frustration.

I didn't think we'd win today and we came away with a point that helps in our predicament.  We're four points closer to safety, while QPR and Reading are further off.

I do see signs of progress, although the quality of play was frustrating this week.  Guzan, Lowton, Baker, Westwood and Benteke all look excellent to me.

We will come good and perhaps we can put St Martin down in the process.

confusing post, first you're confident about staying up then you're worried about relegation. The manager is pig headed but you want lerner to give him more money. All of these are valid points but i've not seen them all in the same post before

The draw still keeps us 8 points clear of them. Lambert could have gone for the win today, watched it go tits up and the gap would now only have been 5 points. As frustrating as it is , i think in this instance he did the right thing. Not losing to teams below you is something teams in our position need to achieve if we are to stay up.

Unbeaten in 3 with a 5 point return, 4 of which are against teams in our area of the table.

If you want to blame the owner for the lack of quality in the squad that's fine but to knock Lambert is, in my view,  short sighted. He is playing and giving vital experience and game time to the young players, Williams today is a good example.

We've drawn an away game and won a home game in the last few days, surely that's acceptable?

Only knocking Lambert for not starting Bent alongside Benteke. Proven goal scorer along side Benteke, surely then he could have subbed one of them in the second half when we could have been out of sight. Did you see Bents reaction when we made our third sub and he was left on the bench ? He was not a happy bloke at all.

I genuinely think that if Bent and Benteke had both played today, we'd have been looking at a similar result to the one we got against Southampton.

Isn't that what pretty much everybody feels after having the misfortune to watch Stoke? By the way can I be the first to say a polite 'Fuck off' to any Stoke fans planning on posting on H&V this week?

I'm glad he wasn't happy, shows he cares. Perhaps it will focus his mind on doing whatever the manager expects of him to play.

Why should we play them both? Who would you have dropped?
