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

[ozzjim]

We have to stick by him. He has bought well, and has significantly improved a number of our players.

[pauliewalnuts]

Everytime I see 'poll reset' I die a little inside.

Why?

It's a good way of keeping track of the fluctuating support (although gratifying that at no single point has there been a majority for sacking him), otherwise it'd be a pointless indication of what people thought x months ago.

Bailed out today by the wondergoal. Started the second half brightly but after that we didn't really create much and we ALL knew a second goal would be needed. He then takes of Gabby who had been our best player up until that point. Then waits to bring N'Zogbia on after they equalise. Just not convinced by his tactical nous. If we stay up, I'm willing to give him a fresh start though.

I've been critical of Lambert but no choice with Gabby as he sustained a thigh injury

There is no doubt several players have looked much better in recent games and the team as a result are looking vastly improved- the likes of Bennett, Delph and gabby have found decent form and added to decent seasons from benteke, Weimann, Westwood , Guzan and Lowton we have the makings of a useful side.

I still feel if we survive that we need three or four experienced players in the summer but certainly things seem to be looking up and confidence is improving.

Lambert can count himself lucky to have kept his job earlier in the year when results and displays were shocking but I think we will survive and he will probably remain in the job and have learnt a lot from this season .

If we survive i think we will probably be much more comfortable next season and in mid table at least.

Finish the job now and Lambert has done a fantastic job because he's completely turned the club around.

For the first time since Brian Little was manager the whole club feels united. The shit we've all gone through has bonded us because we've stuck together and supported a team and manager that we've seen lack nothing in effort.

He takes risks but they're based on sound values and principles.

I'm more convinced than ever that he's going to make us not only a great side, but a great club again.

Oh right. Fair enough then. Still think N'Zogbia should've come on before they equalised. As I say though, I am willing to ignore his faults displayed this season should we stay up.

He is obviously shit! But thanks for giving him another chance if we stay up.

Yes there has.

Yes there has.

Thre was a slight majority in favour of sacking him at one point - i think it was after the millwall defeat but not sure.

A goal scored by a player Lambert signed and who he has selected week in week out.

[villan from luton]

The guy has come in under more than difficult circumstances. Lets look at signings, Guzan brilliant, Lowton inexperienced but shows promise, Bennett ditto Lowton, Westwood I really think will be good, Sylla has shown some promise, Benteke brilliant, just brilliant, Bowery havent seen today yet but mate at game said he did well. Dawkins on loan who knows. Not a bad lot IMHO. Lets now look at the young players already there, who has gone bacwards? mmmm, tough perhaps Albrighton, but injuries involved. Gabby is a different playerand fair play to Lambert. I think we have been awful during that post xmas period, but otherwise have competed really well andproud to be a Villan

[not3bad]

I'm more convinced than ever that he's going to make us not only a great side, but a great club again.

Villa have the makings of a strong club IMO.  This season has been about halting the slide that started when MON jumped ship and we had to start cutting costs.  Stay up this season, keep the good players, get rid of the ones we're wasting wages on and add the money saved to the TV money that will be coming in.  Bright future?

But then he was forced into making the first sub, when I thought it was pretty obvious we'd lost control of the game at that point.
