Aston Villa v Bradford City Post-Match Thread

[NeilH]

YES! FINALLY A WIN AT HOME!!!!...... Oh wait.....

That's a bloody good point. Its the confidence boost the team needed and we actually managed to defend a couple of corner too... I think we've turned a corner you know.

Only listened to it on the radio but the crowd were superb for the first 60 minutes tonight.

Thought many times this season particularly during a full 5 minute rendition of Lambert's C&B army at Fulham our fans deserve a better team so much.

There's so much wrong at the club, where to start? I hate to say it but most of Lambert's signings are more money wasted. They are worthless to us.

[N'ZMAV]

WE WON TONIGHT

Before Lambert was appointed, I was hoping for Adkins. I still think I was right.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The team needs major surgery regardless of relegation or safety.

I don't want Lambert to be the man who does it.

Corner should be a banned word on here.

I agree I thought delph was good although he completely lost his head ona few occasions. Nzogbia was very good too. As was Bennett until he had to defend . . .

Bannan was shit. Bent did nothing at all although I don't think we have him any real service

Lambert got it spot on tactically in the first half and got it so ridiculously wrong once they scored that I found it difficult to believe. And we've seen villa empty the midfield to make us look utterly vulnerable so many times I've no fucking idea why he keeps doing it

[barrysleftfoot]

  Gabby is uttern shite.Ireland doesn't look fit, Lowton low on confidence, Delph low on brains, Bent lack of interest and Clark lack of ability, apart from that we are ok.

 For me i still would'nt get rid of Lambert, but we need a CH, a CM, and probably another 2 on top of that at the very least, if that means selling Bent, who offers nothing, then so be it.

 We are far too fragile, and the only way to change that mentality, is to make changes in the team.

[Richard C]

Get rid now , our only hope of survival is to ditch lambert!

And get who? it's all very well screaming for his head (i think he might walk) but who is availeable that a will come to a club that has almost the worst scoring and by far the worst defending in the division and an owner that is reducing wages.Don't say fcking Mick McCarthy.

I's take anybody over Lambert right now including McCarthy. 

Good history of getting teams promoted... but still NO.

He will be a good man for next season then.

[Nirog72]

I think if we get a decent holding midfielder and let Delph do what he is good at he will look a really good player again. Bannan isn't good enough, Ireland doesn't give a shit and N'Zog needs solidity behind him (and shooting maybe).

Right, firstly very well done and congratulations to Bradford. It would have been a travesty of justice if we'd have nicked a goal in injury time. You were comfortably the better side and can feel aggrieved you even lost the game on the night.

Now that's over with, Lambert, Lerner and the vast majority of the "players" can just fuck off. There is absolutely no leadership or stomach for the fight in this club. None from the board, none from the management and none on the pitch. There is also no tactical nous from the management or on the pitch.

I will never be ashamed to support this club, but I am ashamed of that second half.

[villan from luton]

His tactics once Bradford scored were clueless. By all means bring Bent on, but at least stretch the opposition by putting Gabby and NZog wide. When Bennett went off, it was playground tactics. There was no excuse for being outplayed for the last half hour or so by a 4th division team. We played into their hands yet again. That was fuckign embarrassing

[SoccerHQ]

Where do WM get these morons they interview after the game?!

Someone saying we should be playing Dunney who's "been on the bench all season." !!

[eastie]

Lambert took over a team and spent £23m on making them far worse - get rid!
