Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Post-Match Thread

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

If you can't keep clean sheets you need to be able to score plenty. We can do neither. It's Lambert's team, with his signings, so he has to take responsibility.
If Lerner got rid now it would take him a good two weeks to dither over a replacement and they would then have little time to bring in new players in January.
We may as well modestly back Lambert in January to put it right and get rid in the summer irrespective.

No doubt the "In Lambert we trust brigade " brigade will mock me for saying it,but saying it i will If this manager stays in charge ,there is every chance we could do a Wolves and be in League 1 after next season

How in the name of he who's birthday we celebrated yesterday did you arrive at that conclusion?

And anyway, I thought that to 'do a Wolves' would be to sack a stable but uninspiring manager without any actual plan to replace him and sinking flounderingly down.

absolutely fucking woeful, start to finish

to top it off we had to spend an hour with Palace family afterwards, which was the highlight of the fucking day

Everyone that paid for a season ticket deserves to get a refund. Its just heartbreaking to watch Villas iconic shirts being animated by such hapless creatures!

The most troubling thought is the knowing that with the tough fixtures at the start of the season, the end of the season is going to have the same encounters.
Can anyone see how the squad we saw today will get anything from Chelsea, MaN C, Liverpool or Arsenal? If we cant get the points needed to stay up NOW we are screwed!!!

I don't hate modern football, I just hate modern football fans. A few weeks ago Liverpool fans were calling for Rodgers to be sacked after losing to Hull. Thankfully Villa fans are adverse to OTT knee-jerk reactions.

We got away with it last season but we have to spend some money or we're down.

What a shambolic load of piss, beaten by Palace at home FFS!

I know I can't believe I am that transparent!

Whether you agree or not with the common consensus is of course your opinion. It isn't however a knee jerk reaction. We were awful for the vast majority of last season and have been for the vast majority of this. Lambert has had 3 transfer windows and this is now his team. He has filled it with mostly dross who seem to lack even the most basic ability to be able to pass the ball or move into space.

We have failed to even score a goal in 6 out of our 9 home games and there are absolutely zero signs of it improving any time soon.

6 out of 10 I believe.

For some it's a jerk of the knee, but for some of us it's more a slow raising of palm to face. We didn't want it to get there, but it has.

Don't agree with your first line. Completely agree with your succinct summary in your second line.

I think actively fought against it getting there, and tried to rationalise and find positives to keep a sunny disposition.

Losing at home to Palace and deserving to go down by more realistically, has broken my spirit on the back of the defeats to Stoke and Fulham.

Like you said, we have been awful for way, way too long for it to be in any way kneejerk, it's the total opposite of kneejerk, in fact.
