Bradford City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Villafirst]

I'm starting to think we may have appointed another crap manager.

Last night confirmed it, same errors cost us goals again. Do they practicehow to defend set pieces & crosses at Bodymoor Heath?

Never thought I'd say this, but Sam Allardyce should have been appointed instead of McLeish. West Ham look far more solid than us. He can at least indentify problems quickly and put things in place to resolve it. THAT'S EXPERIENCE!!

I don't really know if lambert can turn this around, he seems to have lost his way and looked a shadow of the man who was at Norwich.

His body language, his lack of inspiration and his interview afterwards all look like a man who seems totally out of his depth.
I very much wanted him as manager but this is looking similar to when mike walker succeeded at Norwich and stepped up to Everton and failed desperately- is lambert out of his depth?

The thing is there is little out there in the way of alternatives and can we afford to sack yet another manager and his staff - randy cannot be blamed for appointing lambert but nobody could have foreseen how bad this is.

What's worse is we seem to be getting worse - we are is a truly dreadful state.

How much longer will we keep this clueless manager?  Never dreamed we could appoint anyone with less idea than the last manager but this one is turning out that way

Agree to a point, but PL had a budget of £20M plus last summer but chose to invest in inexperience instead of a 2 or 3 older heads. I wish Cuellar and Collins were still there as an option! I Still think we miss Dunne's leadership - he can organise a defence and would be good in my opinion alongside Vlaar (if he ever gets fit). At least under McLeish last season we looked better at the back and didn't have an horrendous goal difference which might just cost us come May.

[VillaAlways]

I think we'll be well down come May. The goal difference will be irrelevant

Elements of our support was a disgrace last night, fighting amongst themselves, (saw at least 2 fights), and if you were the bloke in block E row f seat 127, you are the most disgusting fan i have ever met, non stop vitriol (effing and C'ing) at our players from the very first to the last whistle.
i can appreciate some frustration, but this is out of order!

[N'ZMAV]

We have some total moron fans. As do all clubs I expect. Maybe we're small time, and can't handle the bigger occasions. As at Wembley in 2010 I saw numerous scuffles between our own fans. Pathetic.

Also the knobhead who thought it funny to smash up the toilets after the game. Why people have to take their frustration out on a Division Four club who have had the nerve to beat us is beyond me. Their staff must be glad they are still in a lowly division when they go round and inspect the damage today.

[Jon Crofts]

Wembley 2000 was the same.

[London Villan]

I don't think I've seen so many broken seats in a ground either. Idiots.

I'm sure they will all be as brave at the Den...

I don't travel away much these days but we do seem to have a fair proportion of twats, far more than I remember from the late 80s and early 90s when I travelled away the most. A reflection on society more than anything I think.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I was leaving and I heard smashing I just shook my head and walked out, I hope the individuals were found, I think alcohol was to blame there were a few pissed up twats on our coach and we left at 2pm, I don't know whats wrong with people

Took my son to Tottenham earlier this season - a fair few of the blokes around us were far more interested in winding up the Spurs fans on the other side of the fence than watching the game. Utter pricks.

Could the fact be that there was no segregation in the 80s be something to do with it? There was no need to abuse the home fans from behind the safety of a fence or Police cordon. If you wanted to do it you could. I was saying to the wife last night, watching the long line of coaches on the way back, how there was regularly only one/two Travellers Club coach plus a handful of private ones at games in those days.

And last time I went to Fulham, we all got chucked out of the pub next to the Tube station before the game because some knob had smashed up the toilets. Fulham FFS...
