I've re-watched Gabbys bizarre goal celebration and he does appear to make a bee line for Culverhouse . Worrying.

Why is that worrying?

It shows that at leas the players are with the management. It might not be rosy on the pitch but if they are united as a group there is hope for it to get better.

I would be untied with my boss , If my work was shite but I am getting paid big wages .

Do you mean united?

Interesting that they blanked lambert in the celebration too. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but there's not much else to analyse about our game yesterday.

I may be wrong but I am sure Gabby and TSM2 exchanged reasonably high fives when he scored. At least I thought I saw it this morning on MOTD.

It was a bit strange though as it was when Delph scored his wonder goal and brushed past Benteke when he was first to offer congratulations.

As long as they score they can do whatever they want as long as it doesnt result in a booking.

Didn't post yesterday as would have ended up banned abusing fellow posters.. Some on here just thrive in this situation.
I'm sure certain posters want to reach 20,000 posts and just put on drivel.
Statistics are done to death and basically are there for armchair managers.
Were in this together and need to calm down and get through a really bad patch.
All managers buy players that don't work out, our leader is not immune from this.
Hopefully investment arrives in January, Sylla might be shit this season but played his part in us staying up.

Yeah, too right, Hoppo.

Oh, hang about, who's this?

After watching that.. I don't need posters claiming to be clever because they 'told us so' your as irratating as Lamberts after match interviews.
I want to hear what Ian Culverhouse does.
I want to know what Gary 'feckin' Karsa does.. Is he actually Lamberts brother in law?
I'm in The Social intending to get ratted then sneaking back in and shitting on Randys seat.

You know what Toronto. Thats the big problem for me, we just dont work hard enough.
I always thought Lamberts teams would.
You can get away with not being good enough at times if you work hard enough but we dont do that anymore.

I just don't get our style of play. That's my problem.
If all of our teams from youth upwards played the same way I would buy into 'the project' but we have no real way of playing.

We have a number of out of form players it seems to have been all season in some cases.. I'm waiting for Lambert to turn these players round.
The longer the season goes on the less optimistic I am that it is going to happen.
I'm not saying sack him by any means but managers get sacked for less.

I'm still a Lambert fan (just about) but we were shit again today. Sylla has been found out, Luna is shocking, Baker a last resort, Kea is shite, Westwood a passenger. Please don't get me started on 'The Beast.'
A malaise is hanging over our club and we will fall down the trap sooner or later unless we invest correctly.
We need to stop talking about 'the project' and wages and realise the fans need to be entertained. I dread home games.

And best of all:

Im a Lambert fan. He isn't the messiah though. He deserves criticism, he gets it. I haven't enjoyed a game of football at Villa park all season (2nd half v MCFC) aside.
I pay alot of money to go down and i expect some entertainment. We need something extra in the final third.

So, basically, stop all the moaning. Except for you.

Oh and all of those are from your last 13 posts alone.

Nobody thrives on this. It is fecking awful. It's a discussion forum if people want t raise a point about certain aspects of our game to generate discussion/debate they should be well entitled to.

I harp on about possession a lot. I admit that. Maybe if we were top of the league with those poor possession stats every week I wouldn't bother.But we are not. We are hovering a few points above the relegation zone so I do raise it because maybe it is part of the problem with our lack of goals and defensive mistakes.

Exactly. It's so rare it doesn't really have much impact.

Unless I'm missing an in-joke you need to retract that and apologise.

I am somewhat surprised to see that no one as realised why Gabby and the other players came over to the dugout to celebrate the goal with the other squad members.
They completely ignored the Holte and the supporters as they are fed up of being booed[Rightly or wrongle after every match] by them and by that action we can assume that a rift between supporters and players now exists and when that happens there is only one outcome.
This is the beginning of the end.  :(
Clearly a joker has joined the forum.
