Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[PaulWinch again]

Westwood is a potential star, but let's not forget, he was playing at Crewe until recently, so there's still a way to go till he can totally prove himself.

I just look at that squad and see so many who patently are not up to it, and it scares me to death. Then there's the fact that, maybe some of the younger players we have bought or grown will be good enough one day, but they're currently getting destroyed week in, week out, which is going to ruin any chance they have.

I'd gladly never see Fabian Delph in a Villa shirt again. Did we really pay £6m for him? Really? Bannan, too, seems to spend most matches trying to hit ridiculous Hollywood passes.

Just utter shite.

Westwood I do like, but he should be put in gradually like you say not our best midfielder.

[Risso]

He's shown nothing so far to make me feel he's even better than McLeish. And if the Ginger one had been producing the kind of dross Lambert has, he'd have been hung from the tallest lampost in Witton by now.

He hasn't got a clue

Thank you TSM

He's right though.

If we go out then he should walk.

He's been dealt a bad hand, but has made it worse. Chopping and changing managers is not something I would advocate, but sometimes you need to call it how you see it.

The kids are not good enough and are taking us down.

I'm angry tonight. Massively angry. The most disappointing feeling is that I don't really give two shits anymore. These lot earn more in a week than most of us do in a year. I have spent far far too long getting wound up by this shower.
I'm trying to tell myself 'it's just a pigskin, its just a pigskin'. With what else happens in life I'm rey completely over getting wound up by this useless bunch.
Good luck to Bradford, they deserved it and I hope they beat Chelsea or Swansea.
Meanwhile, the villa team should all donate there wages to a charity after that!!
Joke

Di Matteo on an 18 month contract I would take.

And if the worst happens you can apply the same as with Lambert as he got WBA out of the championship first time.

[NeilH]

I just keep asking myself. How is he going to turn this around? We are bad in some many departments that it like juggling plates right now, you fix one bit and something falls somewhere else.
How can it be that, having shipped a hat full of goals over Xmas, our defence seems still as seemingly inept. How can it be that, having hoofed the ball upwards, diagonally and sideways over Xmas, we still are doing it? What is being taught to these players? What do we do on a Monday morning at Bodymoor following another dicking?

I want to believe he is the man, but I just cannot fathom it right now and the word humiliation is one I've had to use far too often this season.... Something I did not have to use under TSM.

[Jarpie]

If Lambert doesn't buy at least one proper midfielder by the game against WBA I'm gonna be convinced that he's fucking clueless. How in the hell he could keep Bannan and Delph on after yet another shambolic performance by those "players" is beyond my comprehension.

That's the thing.

If we somehow survive this season then I think to future seasons when we might have a better team and will hopefully be competiting in the right half of the league. I think who out of the current squad who will still be playing in a couple of years time in a better team. I think of Guzan, Benteke, Weimann, Lowton and then I come to midfield, a total shambles.

I do think Westwood is a potential class act but Bannan and Delph are championship standard footballers imo, the way our midfield has declined so much in two years sums up our decline.

Bannan and Delph are not even that. Westwood is only midfielder I'd play, he has potential to be classy midfielder but he needs someone much better side by him than those two asshats. Fuck, we need Vlaar back too, and new central defender.

Delighted to see that Guardiola has decided the time is right to return to management.

[Rancid custard]

I just want a bit of stability. How about this, MON bails and we wobble, Houllier comes in, clears some out brings some in, he bails when his heart goes, we bring in Mcleish, he clears some out brings some in, gets the boot, Lambert comes in clears some out brings some in...

Who in their right mind would come and join us with that worrying trend? Who could we convince to leave their current job just to let history repeat itself? The team's pretty much been picking itself because of injuries and we need a couple of shrewd January signings to keep the wolf from the door, that's all.

Nobody will convince me that that's a coincidence.

I reckon he's been plotting our results and performances, and had his technical team calculate the best point at which to announce his return to the game, all so he can bag the big B6 job.

[maidstonevillain]

Can we reset the poll please so that I can vote again?

[PGW]

Oh if only!!!!
Turn Bannan and Delph into Xavi and Iniesta......

I subscribe to this view, but you have to admit he's not exactly doing a good job, is he? The whole thing is just an awful mess and has been since Pubehead spat his dummy.

The problem is any new manager will still have the same squad that we have now which is a culmination of the dross purchased by MON, GH, TSM and now PL.

They say every manager gets a few transfers wrong, we are stuck with what's left of four managers wrong decisions, plus the kids and Lambert's decent ones.

[bertlambshank]

What's the point in sacking him?
Who the fuck would come with this squad.
