Predictably awful.

[Toronto Villa]

Off out with the kids so I'll post early. The match and post match threads are the same every week now, and it's nothing to do with the opposition. We're being outplayed by all sides in the division not just the good ones. Yes, we've pulled out some really good results but the thought that possession of 35% or less per game was going to last as a method to success was never a good one.

We're now at the start of a worrying series of results where not only have we lost our best defender, we've lost our best forward for almost 3 months. The Benteke of last season is but a memory and the current version is a shadow of what was. The two situations combined with diminishing confidence could lead us to a December period similar to last season. It is very, very worrying. I'll support Lambert as much as can be but he needs to fix this quickly.

[Smirker]

Agree with TV.

[PaulWinch again]

I think TV sums it up nicely. We've got some results, but we've played very poorly for a long while now and it doesn't show any sign of changing. We look a very poor side, 3 of the back four today were just dire. The only bright spot was Albrighton and Benteke was pathetic. It doesn't look like Lambert is doing anything to address any of this though.

Dreadful - soft goals given away again - baker and luna dreadful - problems all over the pitch , defence , midfield and attack all woeful.

[Rigadon]

We are currently the worst side in the league.  A good start points-wise might save us, but we in for a very long winter.  Again.

Lambert has enjoyed long-lasting support in modern terms but is on very thin ice. 

[PeterWithesShin]

A bright opening 10 minutes then pretty much complete dross apart from Albrighton for the next 80.

[Jon Crofts]

Can't wait to hear what the mumbler has to say about that, there can be no excuses, none.

[Deano's Mullet]

Depressing. Predicatable. I honestly can see me going to the grave before we ever see these buggers piss all over us on our own turf. There must be some real dross below us if we are still so high in the table.

[Matt Collins]

Poor, especially defensively. Had the wind sucked out of us with those stupid goals

Albrighton, Lowton, Westwood did ok I think

Pretty depressing really

[Ducksworthy]

I swear to god, Villa Park is like a rehab centre for teams with absolutely shit form. Seems the only team it doesn't cure are Aston fucking Villa. There should be some sort of match fixing probe it's that predictable.

[JUAN PABLO]

we are the worse side at the moment in this league

it can not carry on

not sure If Lambert is good enough to get us out this mess , If we keep him its going to be another long slog .

Yes Vlaar will help a little but we need so much more .

[aev]

Dreadful.

Fed up (amongst other things) of us appearing way too nice…..we never competed for the 50 50's and look totally in awe of the worst Man Yoo team for years.

They've lost two in 17. I wish we were in that absolutely shit form.
