If.

I know it's if but it's on comment to the poster expecting nothing from those two games.

If we get nothing from Swansea or Sunderland I'll be less supportive of Lambert.

This Quick Reply box needs sorting.

We need the orange dot!

Wait until tomorrow.

The last time the dot worked, it was so long ago that it was a black and white dot.

Last season.

We were awful and only Guzan kept us in the game. And that was against a very poor Palace side. The big thing is, Lambert seems to have now lost a large enough percentage of the fans to question whether he will ever turn that particular situation around. If he doesn't it will have a negative impact on results for the rest of the season. Results that are looking negative enough without that added issue.

Last season.

Actually it was Cardiff 2-0 this season. Worked a treat. One of the only times I've ever bet on a Villa win.

[Big Dick Edwards]

We've suffered long injuries and loss of form to our most influential players but the fact is we've only scored in three home league games this season. We never even looked remotely like scoring against Sunderland and Palace, two of the worst teams in the league. That is completely unacceptable. The table doesn't confirm it yet but we actually are the worst team in the Premier League. We have a defence that can't defend adequately and the midfield and attack don't have the ability to create and score goals unless we sucker somebody on the counter attack. Thank God for Brad Guzan. Lowton and Baker were pitiful defenders today. Palace would have won comfortably were it not for Brad. As for Andi Weimann, he's been a waste of space for a long long time now. He shouldn't be anywhere near our first team. I need, and intend to drink myself to sleep tonight after that horror show.

Ah. Time for a resurrection.

[Damo70]

The fact Guzan turned into Les Sealey as the game went on tells you everything about the defensive performance and what he thought of it.

[Legion]

He was nearly at the half-way line in the second half berating the incompetent muppets in front of him.

Another frustrating thing, how often is it that when we do manage to pass the ball forward and it reaches another Villa player they are facing our goal. So there is no fast passing as they either have to pass back or sideways at best, or take the time to turn and face the right direction. I have no coaching experience and even I know about pass and move, passing the ball to a bloke going forwards etc. What the smeg do our coaches teach these players?

It's as though they're using the ball to Waltz.  Forward, side, back, side, forward........ Or however it goes.

Brad is my current Villa hero. Fuck me he doesn't half care. It's a sad state of affairs where as we reach the half way mark of the season him and Delph, and possibly Kozak, are the only players to come out of it with any credit. Oh and Vlaar.

[Legion]

A collective set of Mark Drapers.

[Legion]

Bannan was far better than all of our midfield.
