Aston Villa v Bradford City Post-Match Thread

[N'Rexy]

Enough is enough. We need change. And very very fast.

Sorry but I'm trying my utmost no to turn on Lambert or the club that I support. Who else can I blame.............. lol plus I do think he's part of the reason for the mess we are in 8-0 springs to mind. Vidic not getting sent off and the repercussions of that game has led us to where we are now. We might of gone from strength to strength if we had won that year.

If I ever see Barry Bannan kick a ball for us again I'll run on the pitch and throttle him.

Can I be the first to say congratulations to Bradford, fair play to them.

And seconded. We were out-thought and outfought.

I hope they win it.

No we weren't.  They didn't have to think.  They just had to attack down our left and lump a ball in there.  That's it.

Parkinson saw what was going on in the first half, they were standing off us and letting us play the ball around, albeit at a pedestrian pace.

He clearly saw to that at half time. Our answer to being crowded out ... bring on some strikers.

I'd call that being out-thought.

We had absolutely no answer at all.

I can not begin to rationalise this, but am not suprised.Said today, that we could probably score 2 but would not keep a clean sheet.
I fukin hate being right !!!!
The fans showed what Villa park can be in its glory, but no hard bastard in defense and clueless creativity.
1st half should have had more reward for the possesion but the second half, !!!!!!!! they are in the 4th division for fucks sake.
A dark night in our History.

Taxi for Mr Lambert

[serbentoflight]

Well done Bradford, Shame on you Villa.
That is all.

[paulcomben]

Candidates: Di Matteo, Adkins, Poyet, some foreigner nobody had heard of a la Southampton. If Lambo stays, the players will lose faith because he has led them into this humiliating mess.

[ROBBO]

We are in a dilema, we have experienced players who really don't give a shit about the club and do not play for the shirt and youngish players that were rushed into the senior squad when not good enough. We are at fault in this too, in not realising that Bannon, Delph and all of them except Weiman are not and never will be good premiership players. We have about four players that may with good players around them be good enough, all the rest are shit.

[Rigadon]

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.

Yep.  Bang on.  Taking Bannan off, as average as he is, was a mistake as we lost any (albeit little) shape we had.  Another tactical fuck up after the N'Zogbia sub last weekend.

He has to go.

Not the night to be playing your 'I'll never criticise the club, me' card mate.

[Nirog72]

Aside from the occasional shit tackles Delph is a good player, passionate because he gives a shit but surrounded by dross. Don't understand the crap he gets. The rest, particularly Ireland deserve it.

[JUAN PABLO]

At least we had a good first half like we did at the Albion.

Absolute shit, Randy invest or fuck off.

both 4th division teams

[willywombat]

Thank God SHA are in the shit they are, it'll be bad enough anyway when the Noses start posting

Fuck them, they are, always have been and always will be irrelevant

[alan_clarke]

12/1 for no manager to leave their post before the end of the season

Might have a few quid on that as I don't think Lambert or Pardew are going anywhere.
