Good articles in the Guardian and the Independent neither gloated at our loss they put very accurately whats wrong at the club.
A lack of hunger was mentioned and it got me thinking, Nzogbia was brilliant in his last season at Wigan and i bet if he went back there he would be brilliant again, Ireland although out of favour at Man City was player of the season the year before, what happens to turn good players to shit when they enter Villa Park. Whatever Lambert was trying to achieve even he must admit it has failed, we need leaders on the pitch and in the rooms, we need angry bastards who frighten the life out of their teammates not just the opposition, there is no anger there just resignation. I thought Lambert was a hard bastard  just what we needed but there seems to be no anger or desire on the pitch. Lambert did refuse to answer questions on transfers just said him and Randy knows what's going on, whatever that means.

Randy for his faults must be looking at the current players and see another x million of his money turning to shit. He gave MON the earth, and supported everyone since. You can criticise him for a lot of things but he most be shitting himself at the thought of opening his chequebook again.

Is this one of those polls you're going to keep running until you get the desired result.

Still IN for me!

Can we keep Lambert but sack his coaching staff?  They certainly don't appear to be doing much.

I'm flipflopping between keeping him as there are no obvious candidates to replace him (and would we trust the owner with such a decision) or getting rid as he's lost all credibility and there's now growing discontent among the supporters towards him.  The next 2 games are critical - lose both of those and it's all over.  It wouldn't surprise me if he's gone tomorrow though - he bloody well should be embarrassed...

Still IN for me as well but after last night i'm not actually sure why, just a gut feeling I suppose.

I'm just totally depressed about the Villa right now.

Anyone still think the players believe in him?  Not heard much talk of "losing the dressing room" yet.

When Mr Faulkner walks into the office this morning will he:
1. Ask his PA to get Mr Lambert on the phone?
2. Ring Randy to ask for funds?
3. Call all known agents of players we are intrested in?
4. Call all known agents of Coaches we have lined up if Lambert were to resign?
5. Make his way over to  BMH and reassure all staff including Manager that there will be no change?
5. Call his mum and than settle down to play battle ships on his laptop?

Tick as many or one!

Out. We've been a total disgrace for 99% of this season.

Time for a change.

He is not very good is he? Looks as clueless as the last manager.
Its a bloody mess and I cant see it improving.

Time to go I'm afraid. He's starting to make "Bingo Billy McNeill" look like a tactical genius! Hoddle for me!

If faulkner does sack him then the new manager needs to be pass Lambert on the way in. Otherwise we are wasting not only time to get transfers in but time for the new manager to work with players and get us out of this mess. I would prefer to see Lambert stay and be given enough money to bring in at least 3 players.
