Why the surprise?  An equally inept Villa side was outplayed over two legs of a cup tie against League Two opposition last year and the manager seemed totally devoid of any ideas on how to break them down.

His constant sticking with Weimann is baffling to say the very least.
Who??

Heard on 5live Sport Extra:

'...and Westwood attacks the penalty area'

I thought Radio 4 did the comedy?

55 minutes in and our first shot on target. Pathetic.

Just read this on the BBC vidiprinter...

"Antonio Luna (Aston Villa) wins a free kick on the right wing."

WTF is he doing over there?!

The ironic thing is that if we manage to get an equaliser we could have another game in the FA Cup??

Signing Bent saved Houllier's job. I reckon the only thing that'll save Lambert is a recognisable signing too.

You mean a footballer?

Possibly not a 14 year old playing for FC Bicycle Clip in the Czech third division, either.
I heard that FC Bicycle Clip are a very strong team. Paul Lambert really likes them! careful what you wish for!

Well, the other thing is that Clunge FC from the Swiss second division are already in for him, and we can't compete with their wages.

I think Clunge will start flapping if we stick our noses in.
we don't want to get into a bidding war with Clunge!!

Come in late, I sure wish I had a way to watch the match, but obviously that would be against the law.

I'd take Dougal Maguire at this point. Either as a striker, midfielder, defender or new manager. Whatever gig he wants.
Throw in Father Jack as our fitness coach too.

Albrighton seems to be doing well- how long before Bowery replaces him?

You are probably spot on there!

It's because in terms of options we have barely any.

Helenius?

Starting Gardner instead of Delph and Westwood again?

Not letting Tonev near the team!
