Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

I wonder what Wigan's wage bill is compared to ours....

[VillaAlways]

Anyone think Lambert will get thesack ? No. Because were a club with no fucking ambition

[JUAN PABLO]

were gonna end up like Blackburn.

We thought we had won the lottery when Lerner arrived.
Turned out it was the booby prize at the local church fete.

Enough is enough.

Yep, at least we could see how bad the owners of Blues and Liverpool were. Lerner decided to give us hope for 3 seasons and then got bored. Shame Abramovich couldn't get as bored at Chelsea.

Some people still see Lerner as the bees knees- I think the guy has made so many fuck ups in the last 3 years its incredible, as for lambert , I wanted him as manager but I am shocked at how poor he has been with selections , tactics, etc- I don't buy into the injury excuse either as most of the injured players haven't looked good enough either .

Who are we going to get in that could honestly change this around?

Very sad this evening, but trying not to over-react.

Just shows how important confidence is. That 8-0 totally stuffed ours. Same players we were all raving about being the future of the club are now "shit"? They've had a big set back, it will be difficult for them to dig themselves out of it though. Just a shame that our senior players are all injured (Gabby, Vlaar, Dunne), or disinterested (Ireland, Warnock).

Shambolic.  The picture of Lambert with his head in hands on the BBC website sums him up.  Bereft of ideas and ability to organise and lift the team.  I expect it'll be another rendition of "we'll pick ourselves up and go again" but he doesn't actually pick them up.  He's worse than McLeish, much much worse.

I do however think and can see PL going to see RL and giving a 'back me in January as we are shite' it I'm off.
RL being RL will probably say see ya then.
These are dark dark times. The leadership from RL is a shambles. Bradford will be rubbing their hands at this rate

Ignoring the goal difference we are no better off than where I thought we would be after the last 4 games except we beat Liverpool but lost to Wigan.

I'm not sure the owner is that bothered anymore so whoever came in would be fighting a lost cause.

The senior players are shit as well.

Can we recall the Fonz from blackpool?

Not sure he's the answer, we need a centre half (Lescott)and two midfield monsters (Parker/Barton types)

I'm furious now Risso, but he's not much much worse. He should have the opportunity to address it in January, but time's running out.
