How would you feel....

New Poll?

I wonder season ticket holders will start getting those phone calls from the club again asking if they plan to renew.

Thanks to Viagogo I have been able to sell some of my tickets where the fixtures have been shifted and I have actually made money on the deals, even after the hefty charges - I was persuaded by the promotional team this season to renew, however after watching the absolute dross on offer this year I very much I doubt I will renew next season - the sad thing is that just 3 or 4 inspired (experienced) signings could make some difference this season but it does not look like that is likely.

As so many others have said before, it's not so much the results as the tactics and the absolutely dire football.

If we were still passing the ball around like last season there'd be more patience but frankly what's the point turning up to watch players with no skill, no excitement lump the ball in the air for 90 minutes - the thing is we're not even any good in the air, it really beggars belief.

I would love to know where the Lerner/Lambert balance is. Just how much is Lambert having his hands tied here? He would say these are his decisions but many on here believe Lerner has set a wage cap.

Even with those conditions in place Lambert is hugely underperforming with getting his players to play coherently and to defend and attack set pieces properly.

Right now I'd take John Gregory until the end of the season. Somebody that knows the club, would be willing to work with what his got and could give the youngsters a boost of confidence. He'd also have us passing the ball and moving. It would give us time to find a long term replacement, preferably from the continent.

Keeping Lambert now is only delaying the obvious.

I would like to be able to sit down and follow a Villa game with absolutely no idea what the outcome will be. At least then it might indicate we've got some positive intent.

Have you been at the Sagres again?  John Gregory?

Ha! I'm assuming it will take the board 3 months to find their man so we'll need a stop gap. Gregory would keep us up. I'm not sure Lambert will.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I want a manager that will play to score as many goals as possible and disregard the amount of goals we conceded. A manager with the attitude of "you can score 4, but we'll score 5".

Lambert had that at the end of last season, but it's deserted him. Can he get it back?

Dear Lord, Mark, get a grip.

I think he needs to, and quickly, because much as his support was extraordinarily resolute last season, it's not looking too clever lately.

 Do you think PL is frightened of making a "big" signing?

 Sissokho on a free would have been an inspired signing, Ince would be a good long term buy, but expensive now, and Belhanda wanted too much money.But i have to say we would'nt be where we are now, and i wonder if he likes having fledglings to control, is Villa too big a club for him,

 We will see in the next 3/4 weeks, if we don't get two wins in the next two home games, then he needs to show some mettle with RL and insist on being, finally , backed.If not then he's not the manager i thought/hoped he'd be.

[ozzjim]

He needs money, not sacking in my view. But he also needs either Culverhouse or Karsa to sit him down and say "these two players will cost 15m between them but add quality and experience - get them!"

22 months ago Wolves fans wanted Mick McCarthy out. They got their wish and went from the PL to League 1.
I ain't happy at all with what is happening but be careful what you wish for.......UTV

Don't beat Palace and Swansea I think could get pretty hostile second half if we are losing.

I think the problem we have is that we're not actually getting any better.
