Aston Villa v Southampton Post-Match Thread

[pooligan]

If we are to stand any chance of staying up then Lambert has to go now. Look at how Redknapp is changing QPR all ready,they have beat Chelsea and drew with Spurs in the last week or so ,two teams who wiped the floor with us. Don't ask me who we can get,but i know if we stay as we are,we are going down.

Paul Lamber has stated on final score that we were excellent second half, Was this true as I wasen't there?

Not from what I was watching. Decent start, faded, let them get on top again, they hit the post, manic last 10 minutes.

In no way were we terrific or did we control the game and this against another relegation candidate.

Pretty much spot on. After 13 mins it was like a big switch had been pulled and we went back into our shell after a promising first 10 mins.
10 mad minutes at the end does not cover the utter shite that happened in between.
Lowton and Stevens were awful beyond comprehension.
Holman was gash.
Delph tried his best, but he is no midfield general.
Benteke wiped another million off his value today.
Please do not hide behind poor refereeing decisions or the penalty.
Remeber their goal came from our corner.

The candidates should be from;

Di Matteo
Di Canio
Poyet

The likely appointment will be from;

Lee Clark
Peter Withe
Mark Hughes.

Can we scrub DiCanio please, I believe our history doesn't take too kindly to fascist salutes

shocking penalty award!

Keeping our hand in our pockets for the past 12 days has been foolish. Now, as we all knew, we are in a bigger hole and it could be too late.

SIGN PLAYERS NOW.

Not a great list but di matteo is available now and may keep us up , often a change of manager sees a new impetus , I don't think we can continue like this.

Today is the tipping point.

At the end of the season today's result could be the difference between us and Southampton.

I don't care if there isn't a candidate lined up. He must be sacked by Monday! I'd rather have Sid Cowans in charge until the end of the season. At least he would fucking give the players a lesson in what it means to wear the Villa shirt. Heck!...even having K-Mac back wouldn't be too bad. At least he would get the best out of the academy lads.

Don't want an inside job, kmac or cowans not for me, needs someone from outside the club.

But with the players Di Matteo has to work with how much better could he realistically do?

[Summers]

No to Di Canio. And no to Di Matteo. Urgh.

If Lerner has lost faith in lambert he obviously won't give him money if he's thinking of sacking him, he may give the new man some money but if he does it it needs to be done in the next 48 hours and a new man in by Wednesday at the latest.

Di matteo would not be my 1st choice but there was talk of Lerner wanting him last summer until Chelsea renewed his deal, anyone got any other names to throw in who could walk straight in?

The likes of Sven or curbishley do not appeal in the slightest.

5 Live missing the point spectacularly.  One dubious penalty is not why we're where we are.
