Millwall v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[walsall villain]

We keep saying "if we beat suchandsuch we'll give ourselves a lift"

We said it about Wigan, and got trounced 3-0 at home.

We said it about Bradford, "we cant lose over two legs to a fourth division side", and we did.

We said, "decent result against Milwall will help the confidence", and got beaten.

The sequence goes even further back. 8-0 at Chelsea. 4-0 at home to Spurs.

When does the good stuff start?

As far as I can tell, we have an utterly pathetic squad, a leadership pinning all its hopes on youngsters who are quite clearly nothing like good enough, and the whole thing is spinning out of control.

Meanwhile, our relegation rivals are strenghtening and starting to show spirit, and we're sitting on our hands doing absolutely fucking nothing.

It's criminal, and in my mind, Lerner has now proven he's not fit to run a fucking Christmas Club let alone a football club.

For those of us that have seen relegations in the 60's and 80's this is feeling very familiar. I keep thinking 'maybe' but deep down I expect us to finish bottom. Next year, who knows?

I missed out on a 180 playing darts tonight. I'd take my cat managing us to survival right now. Oh and using Lambert as the Ochè would of landed me that missing 180! I'd jump on the before mentioned Ochè (Lambert) nail the a 180 and send the Ochè (Lambert) and my cat to Tuesday's game and take a Bowery hat trick.."and your back in the game"....

Villa 0 Wigan  3             That was a shocker

villa 0 Soton 1


throw two goals away against baggies and get a lucky point against Swansea

Not being behind the team will only contribute to the down fall of our great club. Winning on Tuesday and this will be forgotten. 

Yes, yes, we keep saying that, though, don't we?

Win against Wigan and it'll be better. And we don't. Go through against Bradford and it'll give us a boost. And we don't. Win against Milwall in the cup and we can get a bit of confidence. And we don't

We deserve what we are going to get - relegation, that's what happens to teams who hardly ever win football matches.

I can put up with shitness if i have to, but knowing that people who are supposed to know better are sitting by doing absolutely nothing about it makes me want to punch something.

me too, have you decided what yet?

Now is not the time to turn on our own, nobody is enjoying the shite we are in. But turning on our own will not help our cause.

Lerner MUST know the we are not going to pull this around without some help. If he doesn't he's deluded. A sign of madness is repeatidly doing the same thing & expecting a different outcome, we keep on putting out a team that it not good enough for the division we are in but hoping they will somehow come good.

We need players NOW.

Seems like an absolute age ago... On a night out on 20 December I told a friend who was home from England that we had finally turned the corner and had a decent shout if winning a trophy, top ten and Europe next year!

I look a right fool now.

We need a manager now!

Okay we last won in league Dec 15 a great win at Liverpool. We won our last match despite not winning tie and we got a point and were 2-0 up @ WBA. Moaning on here isnt gonna make anything better if Villa had a nice win Tuesday and/or we sign a couple of players I think different attitude would be shown. What i'd hope is a supportive attitude is shown regardless till the end of the season. It may actually help the team to have a good vibe. All the negativity is mis placed. What will be will be trust that our players will learn. Up the villa   

Rubbish.- wake up and smell the roses pal!

sorry what is actually rubbish? Not clear as my comment is valid and makes sense.  Would you not have a change in attitude and be feeling more positive with a few signings and a nice win v newcastle? You so would! I also dealt with facts. We actually won our last match at home and only lost once this week! Yes we lost tonight lets not go overboard.   

[kippaxvilla2]

Stop panicking you bunch of pussies.  We'll be fine once Vlaar is fit again....oh hang on...

[saunders_heroes]

Still stood here waiting to be let out sick to stomach that i know there are Villa fans back in Brum still jumping up and down in delight that we're out the cup and haven't even got a replay to bother about. A few in the pre-match thread got their wish.

Get a grip.

This is the point though, Bradford and the league cup final was our big turning point for an age, what now? Delusional, out of ideas and out of his depth.

[Meanwood Villa]

Seems a lifetime ago. What we've been through since then has killed that spirit

[Ads]

We were giving the players dogs abuse at the end, telling them to chuff off.

Vlaar was clapping and then holding his hands out apologetically.

I felt a bit bad to be honest. Its not the effort that's lacking, ots extra quality and a manager who has the first fucking clue how to organise them.

the fans have supported the manager and team for the last 6 months and it hasn't made any difference. things have got massively worse. Lambert has ruined the squad and there is no way that shower are going to pick themselves up and bounce back
