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

[TopDeck113]

I wanted Lambert in 2011.  I was delighted when he came in the summer.  However, this cannot go on.  This is turning out to be the most humiliating season in my Villa-supporting lifetime.  I actually think that it is panning out to be even worse than 86-87.

[Risso]

Common denominator is the phrase of the day. Give him the tools to do the job. Mind you, we have plenty of tools already.

He had £25m to spend on a squad that a manager (who you thought was fantastic) kept in the league.

[Greg N'Ash]

Time for him to go. Yes, he's handicapped by crap/young players, an arsehole of a chairman, a fuckwitt Chief Executive and no money, but there's no excuse for not being able to field a vaguely organised side. I hoped it was down to confidence but i fear the confidence they've lost is in him. Get someone else in - we may still go down but lets go down fighting eh?.

Like to see the poll reset so we can get an idea of what people think now

[wookster]

Lambert is starting to look like a broken man. If I were Lerner I'd be thinking about putting him out of his misery very soon.

He looked like he was going to cry at the end.

Does anybody seriously think that Lambert's 'vision for the future' isn't going to end in inglorious relegation?  We are truly, truly dire at every aspect of the game, and while Lerner should be shot for crimes against the Villa, Lambert has to take his share of the blame.

Of course he deserves his share of the blame.

There's one thing that can save us this season, and that's the immediate acquisition of a left back, a centre half, and a midfielder, and all three players simply must be experienced.

12th Jan today, that's 2.5 weeks to get them in. If we're going to throw in a managerial change, too, then forget it, it isn't going to happen.

For weeks now, we've watched a team of kids getting mullered, their confidence dies a bit more every single week.

There isn't a manager out there who is going to be able to take that piss poor squad - and it doesn't make any difference how many of them Lambert bought, it's a shit squad, full stop - and turn things around.

Lambert needs to get his act together, definitely, but I'm afraid that without the assistance of our stay-away, absentee, clueless idiot of an owner, then we're done for, no matter who is in charge.

nail hit on head

Is how I see it.

[enigma]

Pat Murphy has gleefully stated that we are 8 points worse off than under TSM after 22 games.  He simply cannot survive anymore.  Wake up and smell the fucking coffee Randy.

Murphy can go suck off his boyfriend Martin No'deal, he's a sycophant jobber. We're shit but he's Pat Murphy and he has to live with being a twat forever.

That's as maybe but it's still a shocker. Eight points worse off and no real improvement on performances either.

I wanted Lambert to stay but I'm coming round to the idea that it's time for him to go. But then who else could do better in the present circumstances? They'll still have to do the job with one hand tied behind their back.

No real improvement? WTF? It's been a whole fucking lot worse than TSM.

Well that's kind of what I meant, just worded badly.

[SoccerHQ]

We need 5 wins to stay up, do people really think we're going to get them under Lambert when we've just lost twice to relegation candidates without even scoring a goal?

Beyond two new experienced players, we need half a team tbh.

[Rigadon]

Time to go unfortunately. 

[Simon Jones]

Enough is enough

Time to wake up and smell the coffee

Will we get a reduction in season tickets next year for the championship?

Biggest earnings stream in the premier league next year and Laurel and Hardy cant spend any money.

Exactly how I see it. Lambert made a huge mistake in believing that he had  a squad which was good enough, it is obvious that he hasnt. The absence of a experience and ability in critical positions (central midfield being the most obvious) is down to him. But the real culprit is Lerner.

[Jarpie]

What's wrong in the team is that we don't have anyone to dictate the tempo/game and take the responsibility to make things happen. Westwood is good for calming the game down and keeping everything neat and tidy but he's not that sort of player. Lerner and Lambert needs to buy a midfielder who can put his foot down on the game but I can't see Lambert turning the team around even with anyone like that.

I had high hopes for Lambert but he clearly can't motivate the players to fight and they look like they've lost faith in him too.

I know Mark Hughes probably wouldn't be choice for most people but is there anyone else to take the job?

I can't see anyway how Lambert could turn this around, for the first half tonight's game our players didn't have any bite in them and they only started to play in the 60th minute...yet again. I don't want Lambert to get fired, I want him to resign so we wouldn't have to pay combo.
