Interestingly, the Bradford fans can see what's wrong..

Bollox. They are picking up on our threads and repeating the same shit. They can say anything they like now having humiliated us.

Safe job

Good however we won't go down.

[Legion]

I'm not so sure any more.

Matt kendrick has tweeted that Vlaar is doing the pre match press stuff tomorrow instead of PL. he asks says he thinks the reason is "cause PL probably doesn't fancy having to answer questions right now"
If that's true that's truely shocking! Manager in hiding! After his bizarre subs last night, his air of desperation and now this, I'd say he's lost the plot!

It's not shocking at all. Why does he have to do the press conference? A good presser will not do anything for us result wise. He is better off spending his time on the training pitch.

He has very little involvement on the training pitch, I thought?

From what I've read previously, on the occasions he bothers visiting the training ground at all, he just watches, and leaves everything to the coaches.

Well it is strange.
I would have thought that If he can't/won't do the press conf, then a member of the coaching staff would do it.

My opinion of late was that Villa needed stability, a chance to consolidate and hopefully build from. But we just look so certain for relegation, it's hard to back that up. We're getting worse. I don't even know what we need anymore.

[Dave]

He's a very lucky man at the moment. There's no other club in the country producing such appalling results that haven't pulled the trigger.

Well the likes of Norwich and Newcastle are below us in the form table. And both of them have been knocked out of cups by pretty rubbish teams.

So there's a couple.

Are you backing lambert then dave ?

I honestly don't really care.

Of the last five managers I wanted McLeish and O'Leary sacked because they seemed to have no idea of what to do and did it very badly. The other three (including Lambert) seem to have an idea of what do to and did it (in varying degrees) badly. And by the time all of them left I didn't really care whether they stayed or went. But at least they all had an idea of how to run things, even if none of them really worked particularly well.

I'm pretty apathetic either way, which I think suits the current structure quite well.

If true, that is pretty shocking - surely he should be getting involved with the players and being a hands on manager.  Is Lambert competent?

[Legion]

It is true. He does very little at BMH regarding coaching.

Easy with hindsight, but we should have appointed Fat Sam straight after O'Neill. The players would have been used to the style of football and while we'd have been moaning like fuck, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.

I want Lambert to stay, he has not become a bad manger in just a couple of months.  Given the funds and time he will turn it around.

No thanks.

The biggest problem is selling our best players, what did randy think was going to happen?

As Dave W is fond of saying, selling every single one of Barry, Young, Milner and Downing made perfect sense in isolation. The way that the funds were reinvested is the problem, not that they were sold.
