The worst thing is, you set yourself a target in the near future, and think, "that's where we can put in a performance, and turn things around", and it doesn't happen.

That'd be bad enough, but not only does it not happen, it actually gets worse.

That's the absolute killer in all this - whoever you blame, whatever your stance on the manager or the chairman - it keeps on getting worse, and there is genuinely nothing to be seen that makes you think "that'll improve things".

I really thought January would be the making of us. Guess that's why I pay to watch football rather than earn from it.

It kind of has been, just not in the way I wanted.

Can see the proverbial shit hitting the fan on Tues as Newcastle end their barren run against our hapless bunch of no hopers. Really looking forward to it. :(

The slide needs to stop and it has now passed the stage of a few signings giving us a lift. It has got to the point where it will never work

for Paul Lambert at our club. The slide is now terminal and it is time to go and any new manager would at the very least give the club a lift.

They will be looking for payback after the shit we gave out a few years back ?

Thats the damming aspect for me. Any club with any sort of connection with the club's supporters would know his continual use of the same phrases was pissing people off and had a word. Sorry Lambchop but using the phrase "go again" doesn't make you sound determined or resolute. It just sounds like you're not learning from your mistakes and will just keep doing the same things over and over again in the hope they'll finally work.

And here for a perfect hat-trick.

Quote
Paul Lambert said Villa will "take their medicine and go again" after his side's FA Cup defeat at the hands of Millwall.

Villa took the lead through Darren Bent before Danny Shittu headed the home side level before the break.

John Marquis put the London Lions into round five with just two minutes remaining.

But Lambert insisted there was no time for the team to feel sorry for themselves.

Lambert said: "It's not great, but you have to keep going.

"You take your medicine, pick yourself up and go again. There's no way you can lie down.

"I don't think we deserved to lose it, I didn't see that coming.

"We went 1-0 and conceded a goal from a corner again. It's individual errors that are hurting us at the minute.

"You've got to live with that, you've got to be prepared to be hurt in the penalty box.

"It's not been great but we had a lot of the ball. It's a game I thought neither team was going to win and I thought it was going to a replay."

Lambert felt his side bossed the game but he was frustrated to see yet another set-piece goal come into play during the match.

He added: "I was worried how they were going to react after the other night but they went and took the ball and gave it another go.

"But you can't defend set-pieces like that.

"We bossed it really, with the possession. It's individual errors that are costing us on set-pieces and the second goal was just a crossed ball and we should deal with that.

"I thought we showed grit. I thought we dominated the game and I never thought either team looked as if they were going to win it towards the end."

Lambert rested Christian Benteke and kept Gabby Agbonlahor on the bench with one eye on the big Barclays Premier League clash with Newcastle on Tuesday.

He added: "The lads have played a hell of a lot of games and we've not got the biggest of squads. You have to watch what you're doing.

"You can't make too many changes but the Premier League is the most important thing."

Lambert faces an anxious wait to see the extent of Fabian Delph's injury, after the midfielder limped off in the first-half.

Bloody hell, how much medicine does he want the players to take. They'll all be entering the field of play dosed up to the nines looking like a bunch of drowsy uncoordinated lost schoolboys...

What do you do for the best - keep watching or turn away? One salves the conscience, one keeps the sanity intact. We can't all offer both.

As we got on the coach I said if he says that phrase again I'd take it and shove it up his where the sun doesn't shine.

Sure enough, while waiting to get out of the compound we're listening to his post match comment and ........................
