How would you feel....

[saunders_heroes]

Yesterday, of the 27% possession we had, we only managed a 55% pass completion rate.

That is staggeringly poor. I don't understand how we can manage to be so inept at the basics

I said this elsewhere, Lambert can't even get the basic training ground stuff right so how on earth can he be expected to get the serious stuff right?

[PeterWithe]

Christ after reading the transcript, its a depressing mix of realising how much Lambert is accepting of our mediocrity and how little hope we have of Lerner shaking things up...

"I knew the first few years would be tough..."

Bloody hell, just how many YEARS of this garbage are we going to be subjected to?

That's going to be a tough sell at ST renewal time.

You know what would be interesting. A written statement or preferably a video interview with our owner Mr Lerner asking him for his views on football in general. Not necessarily about Aston Villa but at least something that might give us some idea of why football ownership is important to him.

But it will never happen im afraid.

In years gone by the Meaning Evil would have run a "Villa in Crisis" series for days (with us on the front page).   These days they won't - it's too much journalistic work and effort when they've got loads of rubbish like the local X-Factor celeb/Someone having their wrong toenail cut off/People who can't read road signs and get fined/Barry Austin/insert other cud of your choice to fill the pages.  Look at how they spun the Library being lit up in claret and blue.

No wonder their circulation has declined.

Of course there is the shambles at St.Andrews, and any serious local newspaper would be covering that in detail, but again, the Evil can't be bothered as it is too much like hard work.  They are waiting for the poo to hit the fan, rather than finding out about what the poo is made up of.

However Mark Regan the sports editor at BBC WM tweeted that he'd asked Paul Faulkner for an interview, but was declined.  Keeping asking Mark.  Make a nuisance of yourself.

Nah, you just need a good marketing slogan. 'We go again into 2014/15!'

If there's one media outlet the Villa are entitled to turn down it's WM. If you want to see what Paul Faulkner has to say you can look here http://www.villatrust.org.uk/wp-content/themes/villatrust.org.uk/files/AVST_AGM_Oct2013.pdf , at sundry Mail pages or I'm sure I can find a copy of the H&V interview he did at the start of the season.

Says it all really.   Club are not prepared to face the heat.  If that is the case, certain individuals should not be in the kitchen.

It's most likely why WM have such a downer on us and if so it's all very childish of them. They're not entitled to get exclusive interviews and if they did they'd probably pick holes in it.

Wasn't there a falling out between BBC Radio Norwich and Norwich City F.C. during Lamberts time there?

I think if the local paper or the beeb come knocking and ask for an interview then the club should seek to facilitate something with an official, even if it is not with Lambert or Faulkner.  To draw up the bridge and say "we don't want to talk to you" suggests something to hide and is, if I may say, the behaviour of B-Lose in the Sullivan years.  It does not sound like very good PR.

WM have been hoisted by their own petard. Spend your entire time slagging the club off at every opportunity and expect to be shunned.

You know as well as I do that even if they did that, they would be asking why Paul Faulkner or Randy didn't do it. WM would especially.

The first sentence gave me a mental picture of Lambert having a row with Alan Partridge.

Clampy, you've just won the internet with that one, hands down.

Not sure I'd agree with that.

I am as sick of the horrible performances as the next man, but what do people actually expect the club to say to this?

There's no need to say anything, it is a case of doing something, not talking about it.
