Who would we get in to replace him? He hasn't had time to unpack I can't belive 22 people want him sacked!

Quite.

And not one of them has managed to suggest a reasonable replacement, let alone how we'd get said replacement and his backroom team in in time to do something this transfer window.

Everyone is disappointed, everyone is angry at the way things are going. It's as if they don't think we've noticed we've been shit for a big chunk of the season thus far.

We've been shit for almost all of the season, and our defence is appalling and we hardly score any goals.  Lambert's powers of organisation and motivation are clearly lacking.  Why should we retain such an underperforming employee, and what exactly would we lose if we ditched him?  How is that any new manager would be any worse?

We'd lose credibility for a start, we'd also lay down a marker that a manager at Villa Park gets half a season only to prove himself. Then there's the money to pay him off, recruit a replacement and fund his team building.

Any team would suffer with the number of injuries we've endured but there have been encouraging signs along the way, not least the cup run.

after i travelled to norwich and saw such a wonderful display and then when i went to liverpool a few days later, the phrase lambert out would have never ever have entered my mind. take yourself back 2 weeks and give me your honest thoughts riss.

Every team wins a few games though Rutski.  Even McLeish managed a couple of decent performances against Arsenal and Chelsea.  Overall though this season has been dreadful from start to finish.  Abysmal in defence and toothless up front.  The last few games have been nothing short of shambolic.

And nor was the game prior to the recent disastrous run of three.

Maybe, just maybe, we were seeing the frailties of a young side.

Yes it was.  The first half was like watching a group of five year olds chase a beach ball around the playground.

Pretty amazing to come out of that with a point, then. Lambert must be a genius.

Hyperbole is a wonderful thing. Of course we're not.

if you cannot see a formation of a team that is extremely promising and a style of play that will take us forward i have no more to say on the subject. 3 games ago we were very, very good. 3 games later we are very very shit.
i was discussing with ken mcnaught after the norwich game how pleased we were with the progression of the team, he was happy that every game they seemed to get a little better, which i believe in 100%. the chelsea defeat did more than jus lose 3 points, it set us back, however, with todays result and upand coming games against lower league opposition we can get back that lost confidence.
