Aston Villa v Bradford City Post-Match Thread

[EmileHefty]

Gutted.  Terrible lack of quality and professionalism from top to bottom in our club at the moment.

[russon]

This is our Altincham, Chorley and Woking all rolled into one with a bow tied on. Unforgiveable. If Lambert doesn't offer his resignation he's lost the scrap of respect that remains. I'm disgusted.

[JUAN PABLO]

Bennett  , gets caught with the ball with Hines and gets a free kick luckily , does he learn his lesson ?  Does he f**k , does it again 5 minutes later .

vlaar , for an experience defender , that was shite but the defence was shite when he was in the team before his injury to be fair.

Bannon   whats the point ?

Delph I thought was improving until I woke up.

Agbonlahor ,     you let me down so many times , you are not good enough .

Lambert , Clueless , I wanted you but I make so many mistakes in my life ....

[Nii Lamptey]

Stunned.

Can't decide if it's just that the players are not good enough/can't be bothered or they just don't have a clue what is being asked of them.

As someone said earlier - Lambert's subs killed off our attack by removing the midfield. 2nd match running that his tactics have cost us the game. He looked like a dead man walking on the touchline, and rightly so.

Randy - Dish out his P45 in the morning, closely followed by hammering a For Sale sign to the side of Villa Park, and close the door on your way out.

Gutted as to what our great and glorious club has become.

[Nirog72]

Poyet is the answer and has been since before we appointed Houllier.

[paulcomben]

Never mind eh, we'll no doubt pick ourselves up and go again.

Surely the mumbling buffoon wouldn't be so crass as to use that one again.

We cannot go again. We are out.

[Axl Rose]

ONE REASON FOR THIS RESULT AND IT'S CALL PHIL DOWD!

I'd like to agree with you mate-I believe he is a fucking c.unt, but we were shit anyway, without his help. We are a fucking disgrace. Some of these players, well...people say 'hate' is a strong word, but my god, some of our players are just twats. Where was Gabby? Villa through and through-go fuck yourself..nowadays you are shite. Clark-I'm hugely disappointed by him. I thought he was supposed to be good. Ireland-a little, egg headed wanker. Delph...I like his drive, but he is, when not on form, a headless chicken..(which is 70-80% of the time)
Our beloved club is a laughing stock and there is no way to defend them anymore. Thank god I'm in China, and not surrounded by supporters of other clubs and the national press. Feel so sorry for the people who paid money for the ticket to watch that second half.....Thing is, if we sack Lambert, who comes in to replace him?

[mike]

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.

I didnt see Lambert wearing a Dowd mask

[Risso]

Could they please chuck the Bradford fans out now please, fair play and all that, but watching them celebrate still is making my stomach churn.

[Hampshire Villa]

" Couldn't ask any more from the players " "we have to go again"  this is starting to sound like DO'L they're a good honest bunch of lads, we have a small squad.

Just one thing I'm not clear with.. If he couldn't ask any more of them and they lost, then they must not be good enough, you don't need to be Einstein to work that one out!

Problem is Lambert is stuck with  a closed wallet , limited resources. We look like we are preparing for the championship!. What does he say to them at half time?? they were gung ho first half , just needed to do the same again in the second, keep it tight defend set pieces. and we were home and dry.
This is one of the worst teams I have ever seen in a villa shirt. Even when we went down to Div 3 , at least the players looked like they were trying.

[PaulWinch again]

Our tactical approach for the majority was akin to a 12 year old kid on Fifa. You can't just put strikers on and have no supply.

[rob_bridge]

The club as a whole is not representing AVFC as it should. Time for more than a manager change.

This - Lerner is the ultimate absentee Landlord, Faulkwit couldn't run a bath and the manager and players on the football side of things are miles short of where they should and more importably could be.

Ireland, N'Bog fuck's sake. They sum everything that is wrong with the Villa - overpaid, overrated, the odd spark here and there and ultimately don't give a shir providing their bank account gets filled.

I made the decision a long time ago when that cretin Collymore took the club to the cleaners to stop going to every home game. I never ever regret that decision.

[Yeltzer]

****** the lot of em

[paul_e]

Lamberts reaction to their goal was a long way short of what I'd expect from a premier league manager, awful decision to take off Bannan for a striker and make us narrow.  To then take off the player providing width and balls into the box for another striker was pathetic.  Finished the game playing, effectively, 4-0-6 and punting long balls agianst a side who will be well used to dealing with that.

Need to make us wider and start pulling their players out of the middle, too often they were comfortable with 2 banks of 4 on the edge of their box.
