Aston Villa v Sheffield United Match Thread

18 new players in the window please Randy. And a new manager to boot. Not too much to ask I hope.

[Uknowthescore]

Is anyone actually surprised we are losing we've been shit at home now for a while it's the same old story we really are awful

[Nii Lamptey]

The question is.... I'm winning my bet.

Do I cash out now in anticipation of our barn-storming second half performance where we smash them 6-1?!

:S

What I find very hard to reconcile is the public display of unity by Agbonlahor with the players and the coaching staff.   If they are so loyal and so committed to the coaching staff and to each other, why can't they deliver on the pitch?   They must know that Lambert is going to get slaughtered if we lose.   Is their togetherness so fake and so feeble that they cannot rouse themselves from the torpor which engulfs them on their home ground?

[SamTheMouse]

I can see why Lambert said we could do without the FA Cup. Because it's another opportunity for us to play shit football.

Any radio link for non-UK residents available?

5 live extra on tinternet

[PeterWithesShin]

We'll do them in the second half.

Goalkeeper for Sheff U has not had to make a save, says it all.

[pauliewalnuts]

I don't think I heard Tonev or Westwood mentioned once in that 45 minutes.

Someone at the club has to wake up and acknowledge that this is just not good enough, and then start to do something about it.

One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!

must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap

I wish we could have one that bounces in off someone's arse!

Unfortunately from 40 yards out that becomes incredibly difficult.

Another reason why we should have re-signed Barry.

[Hampshire Villa]

I'd forgot Weimann was playing.

Who?

check out the prediction on the pre match thread

[Nirog72]

Oh dear. Need to put 5 strikers on and see how that works.

[supertom]

I like how they ask for a managers opinion on Lamberts FA Cup comment. Then they ask Martinez. Glossing over the fact that though he won it, his side were relegated.

[Nelly]

I have to say, with Benteke missing, I'm having uncomfortable flashbacks to the Bradford game. Albrighton seems to have done okay though.
