and then who?

This is another reason why I miss terracing. Because I have a season ticket I feel that I have to go today, even though I'd rather not bother and do something like enjoy my day. If it were still the old terracing where you could turn up on the day and still stand next to your mates, then it wouldn't be a problem. The only reason I have a season ticket is to guarantee I can sit next to my mates, let's face it- we don't get many sell-outs where we'd struggle for a ticket.

The long and short is this, today is going to be like a chore. And if Lambert stays, most of the following home games will feel the same.

Speaking for the majority of us mate , i would add that my sister has given my nephew her seat today as she's had enough for one Christmas thankyou very much !

Can you hear the Holte Ferrrrrrnando?

I do think we need a kids section at Villa Park if Lambert remains in charge because I can't control my language down there. Either that or have a designated swearing section.

What turns me into Malcolm Tucker is seeing errors before the players make them but being unable to do anything about it. Surely they can be coached out of them?

[Broughty-Villian]

mmmmmm Im in the keep Lambert. But if he does go............Mclaren!

@patmurphybbc: Don't believe Lambert's in danger @AVFCOfficial - close working r'ship with RL,talks 2 him several times a wk & Lerner's appalled at 1/2

@patmurphybbc: 2/2 the cull of managers/head coaches in 2013.Lerner's also very stubborn as he showed last Jan/Feb.And he won't change his transfer policy

He should have no complaints if we go down then.

This. Lerner needs to sit with us week in, week out watching this utter bilge. Maybe then he'd change his stance.

I actually think Lerner would be better watching some other football matches, so he can see that it does not need to be this bad.  A struggling team does not necessarily need to be so devoid of fun and attacking adventure.

The most important force at Villa Park these days is the crowd.   We shall decide who goes and who stays.   Lambert does not get it and Lerner does not know that there is anything to get but the blood is up in the Villa faithful and to paraphrase a legend "would you want to bet against them?"

[Des Little]

I honestly think Lambert has been treated incredibly sympathetically by the Villa fans, until now. It's not purely about results, it's the style of play and the lack of tactical nous. To be breaking the kind of records we are doing with our home form really is unacceptable and I cannot think of any other team in the prem that would have been as loyal to their manager than us. Not one.

Ah well... The doomsday project continues , next stop - sunderland .

Agreed , maybe that is one of reasons Lerner is happy to persevere with him - it's hardly as if there's a huge fan backlash against either of them .

Crowd were great yesterday, the only thing that keeps our prride intact is us.

One of the reasons cited for Mcleish getting the push was the poor quality of football . Why should Lambert be treated any differently?
