Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Post-Match Thread

[Holte End Stylist]

I left after 80 minutes as the atmosphere in the Holte was not good,got on the train back to Tipton went straight to the local and proceeded to get pissed to celebrate what would appear to be impending relegation.....and then this morning just to top everything off the fuckeyed washing machine packs up..............when you're down you're down

[Quiet Lion]

If Lambert starts with 3 at the back next game he shot be walked out into the centre circle and pistol whipped, then his limp body should be dragged in front of the Holte where he shot be shot through the head.

[JUAN PABLO]

More worryingly though. Lambert has just been on the radio and said 'IF' he brings anyone else into the club in Jan it will only be lower league players as that's all the funding he's been given

The problem with his buying in the summer  that none of them had ever played in the prem and that is showing.

[JUAN PABLO]

Just driving home with radio on I heard them say lambert has said tonight he believes that going with youth is the right policy and he will stick with that policy - if that's the case I really worry for our future.

thats the thing . If Bent and Nzogbia were fit , you know they wouldnt be starting  in the team or Bent in the squad at all.

[JUAN PABLO]

Scoring goals has been our problem since lambert arrived so what did he do ? Freeze bent out ?? Madness
We have scored 1 in our last 5 PL games FFS !!

Was Liverpool all a dream then?

5 goals in the last 9 games    (  3 in one game )   

awful    and what he did to Bent was stupid FWIW

[JUAN PABLO]

As I suspected.
Lambert has no plans to bring experienced players in.

Bye-bye Premiership.

I'll also be more than happy if I never see Holman in a Villa shirt again.

and me .  wouldn't get in coventry's team for me , a poor player for me.      Hes not the only one but can we loan him to forest please.

[JUAN PABLO]

Sorry Leeg.   I have to bring some level of normality to myself.   I am in a permanent rage with everybody and everything.   I shouted at the poor sod who sits in front of me and shook him by the lapel because he has a funny voice.   I am going to do something less stressful with my free time for a while like collecting Eddie Stobart lorry numbers.

Eddie Stobart lorries are great, in fairness.

just seen a police car pull one over on the motorway , naughty boy on his phone

[JUAN PABLO]

Lambert has done everything supporters were asking to be done last season, he has bought from abroad (Benteke, Vlar and Kea)

He also inherited the one actual goalscorer we've had in decades and decided he didn't need him. This despite this so called 'unsuitable new system' clearly not working and struggling to score goals or win games. For that alone he got off to a shakey start with me.

You play your best players, ones that can win you games. It's basic common sense. I sense Lambert was trying (and obviously failed) to prove he knew best.

too bloody stubborn for his own good.


I know he tells his players what cars to drive and what jewellry they can wear which is alright if we were actually winning games.

[JUAN PABLO]

Well, Bowery looked half decent and that's about it for the positives. Wigan wern't good enough to give us another utter tonking which we thoroughly deserved.

Tony Cascarino would have looked like Van Persie in that team

[JUAN PABLO]

Signing Lambert would only set us back even further. We need to back him and trust his vision.

Who ? the guy from Soton.   Might be ok I reckon

[olaftab]

I live just outside Manchester, I've got a 4 month old son who I dreamt of taking down to Villa Park. He's got the kit and I've been singing Villa songs to him, he's even sat watching the matches with me on TV. Really though what chance have I got, he's not going to grow up in Birmingham so why would he choose us when he could pick any number of big successful clubs? Randy please open your cheque book and bring this great club back to life before my son asks for a Man Utd shirt.

I feel for you up there. I turned my 10 year old nephew from Manu to Villa about two years ago and he is now committed villa.  He came along to the game on Saturday and I could feel his frustration. He wanted to stay to the bitter end just to see us score. Journey in the car back was full of questions from him about are we going to get better. I tried as best as I could to keep his spirit up but I know he will have a tough few days with his mates. Luckily there is no school for a week or so.

[JUAN PABLO]

We went to this game with optimism thinking we might get a goal and be more positive. We left  after 71 minutes. It was too painful. Against spurs on tv hurt but watching live and the continued ponderous weak defending was absolute disgrace. My bro reckons we ll only beat ipswich and bradford in our next few games as that's our level.
I found it hard not to disagree with his ridiculous comment. And that saddened me.     

I'm not sure we will beat Ipswich

nor me . I am worried

[Mortimer's Bear]

I left after 75 minutes after losing the plot and screaming abuse at the players as I walked out. Now I've had time to reflect I reckon those young lads need our backing more than ever so I say lets get behind them 100% for every remaining game and keep the faith!

[spaf]

Lambert needs to put Vlaar or even Dunne on the pitch ASAP. Centre of defence is leaking.

Yes, playing injured players is really going to help.

Couldn't do any worse now, could they. I thought Dunne was just on a fat holiday and not playing because he's unfit. Now that I checked he has Gilmore's Groin. According to PhysioRoom.

An experienced CB has to be a priority this January.
