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

[mrfuse]

Lambert out.

Deluded. Lambert has shown in the last 5 games that he understands this league. With such a big club as Aston Villa then this survival is his springboard to greatness, jump on Mike and enjoy the ride. You will eat your Lambert Out words within 3 seasons, just stick with this.

(of the bottom half of the table next season)

Zakk, God bless you, you're hearts in the right place, but that's an epic quote fail plus an epic misreading of a post.

haha did make me chuckle though

Cloughie as manager with Doug Ellis as his cairman? That pairing would've been sight to see .

I know it's early days, and this seasons been a right sweat, but I've got massive man love going on for Lambert.

I genuinely think he's going to do amazing things with this club.

For those of us that had huge doubts a few months ago Lambert has given the perfect riposte. Never mind Arsenal, we weren't handed our status on a plate, we had to fight for it.

From a pretty tricky position I always said that should the manager keep us up then he deserved to stay in the post. He has done that and more, with some positive signs for the future.

I lost 3 bets yesterday (combinations that could have sent us down) as I never win those - I take a bit of responsibility of us staying up then

Best losses I have ever had - Now I can try be a normal human again for at least some months.

Great foundation, huge potential. As Collymore tweeted a few days back "Surprise package next season: Aston Villa"

Same here. I 'lost' £3000. Happy days!

Lambert has finally sorted the post MON mess, credit to him big style. Some sales in the summer, and some of his ''finds'' and SVC could be correct.

Lambert and Villa are a great fit I think, and next season he'll prove it.

I enjoyed losing £15 quid on relegation bets last night.

Lambert was my choice after TSM went and to be honest the only time i had doubts about whether he could hack it here was after the absolute pigs ear he made of the Bradford games.

I like the direction he's taken with the type of player he's brought in, even if not all of them have come off yet and hopefully he'll unearth a few more gems. I still think tactically he's a bit naive at times and there'll be games when we'll wonder what the fuck he's playing at, but overall i'm optimistic for next season.

Edvard - I read your tweet to Collymore last night. Great to see Villans from all four corners of the globe replying to him

He is still learning and makes mistakes, but he will get better and better. One thing I really admire is the way he has stood by his players.
And a well done to us fans for, on the whole, backing him.
I feel we are a 'Villa Family' once again.

[PaulWinch again]

Address his issues with the teams he's managed and defending and he'll go onto great things, hopefully with us.

[Greg N'Ash]

Post mortem wise, his biggest mistake this season were seriously over-estimating the quality of the senior players who to a man were worse than useless - well anyone on here could have told him that last summer.

The other was the bizarre tactics culminating in him destroying the confidence of the players for a good month after the Chelsea game.

Can't fault him for his buys, even the ones who didn't work out deserve another season

Overall 5/10

Still in two minds about Lambert.  On the one hand I admire the fact he stuck to his principles, showed faith in his young squad,  and tried to play good attacking football.  He even got us  defending corners in the last few games.  On the other hand he took a huge risk with our future which only just came off, he can't seem to get teams to defend or to avoid making repeated stupid errors, and his tactics and substitutions have been appalling at times.   There is a lot of promise there but still some massive flaws, and he needs to do a lot better next season to convince me.
