I just replied 'Dont think I'll bother thanks, same as the club.'

I shall send an email to Mr Lerner on 1st February, 2013 thanking him for our new players he has purchased in This January transfer window.

How I wish that to be the case.  Have my doubts.

Send one back telling them how happy you are with the current situation that Villa are in...........etc,etc, and see what the reply is, if you get one.

I can't believe that we will not invest in this transfer window.  We simply HAVE to.

Shaun Teale on twitter last night said Aston Villa should be fucking ashamed, even he can see it, get him in as devensive coach, jesus christ we need one

Everyone can see it, we're fucking diabolical and our defence is a shambles. The manager also tends to make the worst tactical substitutions ever.

There's not even a hint that somethings going to happen. I genuinely believe that Lerner has lost all interest in the club

[Mortimer's Bear]

I can't bring myself to read the thread, having shivering my way through the second half last night I'm in no mood to relive it.

First half I thought we were decent, we stayed composed and made chances and going in one up it should have all been set up to squeeze the life out of them. Instead, we shit ourselves when they didn't just roll over. We lack leadership on the pitch, players with the character to lift others either by word or example.

This is our problem.

This is part of our problem, there is also an obvious lack of talent in the squad as well as leadership.

His subs have been diabolical right from the off. His half time team talks are the stuff of nightmares.

[Lambert and Payne]

Do they actually train? And if they do, what do they do?

[mattjpa]

It's ok. Thanks for pissing on my dreams. Don't hold your breath about seeing me again this season

It is unbelievable how badly our team responds to half time team talks, you do wonder what gets said.

If he wants to sell the club surely it would be better to sell it as a going concern in the Premier League than one slipping down the leagues.

Has Lerner had some sort of memory loss and has forgotten that he does own Villa?

If it's Lambert doing the talking, does anyone think our overseas players might have trouble understanding a word he says? It's not a cheap jibe, it's a serious point. I'm British, I've heard all kinds of heavy Glaswegian accents in my time, and I have a lot of trouble trying to understand Lambert's mumbled delivery.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

What Did Gray say?

That people will blame youth & inexperience for that loss which is complete toilet, Given, 100s of Prem Games; Clarke, 50 odd; Gabby, 100s; Bent, 100s; Vlaar, International; Benteke, International; Bannan, International; Ireland 100s of Prem games; N'Zogbia, 100s of Prem games.

The 5 up front, no width, tactically inept.

Formation, changed again, we change it week after week after week, no wonder players don't know where their responsibilities lie. 

Why didn't Lambert match the Bradford lineup?  A pub team would have.

There was a lot of stating of the bleeding obvious like testing the keeper, for 70+% posession their keeper was asleep for most of the first half, 5 up front all within 10 yards of each other, not working the channels, defending of the corner.

Without actually saying it he blamed Lambert fair & square.

Agree completely with this about last night and it may go a long way to explain our form this season.
