Stoke City v Aston Villa Match Thread

Shit corner again

I think that's why Guzan doesn't go up for them. He knows what's coming.

Yet again though, we'll have a whinge for a day and a half, then the anger will dissipate and we'll forget how fucking awful our play is by next week.

I wont

[russon]

we're brainless too, daft free kicks we give away week after week

[Toronto Villa]

I have always thought that the time to bring in players like Westwood or Lowton is when the current first team squad is a lot more solid and reliable. The fact is they have been brought in to play and not be given sufficient time to develop. They played above themselves last season. Maybe part of that was excitement of PL football and the opportunity, but also a bit of momentum towards the end as we got better. Now with the club struggling they don't have the required quality to get us out of this little run of poor performances and results. That's where a bit of experience would really help.

I have no patience with Lambert left. Terrible football, terrible signings, terrible excuses.

I agree: terrible, boring, turgid

Needs to be big improvement in the next 3 games or more will start to turn on him - we are slipping towards trouble .

[Morten]

We take long throw-ins straight at them, hoof the ball and refuse to look up before hitting the ball..................

The experiment/project is draining my patience.
I have said two more windows before I lose it.
Beginning to think again

Where is the next win coming from? We're even worse at home. I can't see us winning either of the two home games.  Palace will be well drilled under Pulis.

Has to be said the fans have been very patient with lambert and he's lucky he followed Mcleish - a lot of better managers have lost their jobs for far less.

[phantom limb]

Well at least nobody got sent off

They've just been pumped 3-0 at home to Newcastle.

Our long term plan will result in being mid-table... In the Championship unfortunately. We're in a struggle again this season, make no mistake. Our better players will bugger off too.

[mrfuse]

Jesus this is unbearable

[VinnieChase84]

Anyone else well and truly fed up of this utter shit? Lambert can piss off for all
I care, bloody anyone couldn't get us playing any worse than this consistent garbage. Would have JG in at the moment over PL

Is just plain old cost cutting dressed up as a "project". This is the 4th season on the trot where we've been basically shit. This hasn't happened for decades at Villa. Ellis would have been hung drawn and quartered by now if he was still in charge yet not a word of anger is ever aimed at Lerner.
