Aston Villa v Sheffield United Post-Match Thread

The home form will get him the sack.

no it wont, the league table will

Yes it will,once the fans start voting with their feet out he goes.

I agree- several chairmen have said its the fans who sack managers not the chairman .
Once fans vent their anger there is usually a quick reaction.

Agreed.

The fans have been loyal to all concerned so far ... the players, Lambert and Lerner.  They should all be very careful though as it will all change very quickly if they're not careful.

The little show of 'togetherness' from the players last week was dangerous- aligning yourself with Culverhouse and Lambert (in reality or merely perceived) doesn't seem wise and will alienate the supporters if repeated.

The idiotic comments from Lambert about the FA Cup had no upside potential at all - the only effect again to alienate the supporters.

The lack of anything positive from Lerner has been eroding confidence and alienating the supporters for the past 3 years.

No matter how safe they feel in their protected world they would do well to remember they not the club and they are rapidly losing the respect and support of the people who embody the spirit and meaning of Aston Villa - the people who are the club.

utter bolox, actually left before we scored.

Were you in the lower Holte, middle of block L5 and left around 65 minutes? Because if so I saw you and leave and couldn't believe my eyes.

No, must of been another frustrated lost soul, Today I was up k2, and that is as high as im going with this lot.

I am sorry I left early I don't normally but they are breaking my heart. Tonev is a wanker

It's up to Lambert now.

He's took on a tough remit, that too be fair a lot of other managers appeared to be turning their noses up at or at least not falling over themselves for it.

In return he's delivered wage cuts and survival, and he's never bemoaned his lot. He's done the bidding for 18 months but by god we've took some big hits along the way, and this season has been turgid.

It's a shame because a lot of what else he does I like, the way he's sorted out the shitheads and I think he has the respect of the players, but fuck me collectively they're just not good enough.

He need to look at the plan again. He needs money, and quality fast. Whatever we're trying to do in terms of cuts will be inconsequential in the face of relegation, and his reputation is riding on it too, because the road out of Villa Park for failed manages is downhill fast.

The alternative is to hand this lot to someone else, which I think is basically a nightmare waiting to happen.

He's got to be backed, and he's got to go and get it not mince around with his principles. Shit, or get off the pot.

I have followed today's game remotely so to speak so haven't suffered as much as those of you who were unfortunate enough to have witnessed it. A humiliating result, really, really awful. Thing is, we'll get a point out of one of next two league games and we'll be happy again. Also I still think we'll stay up. It would be nice if we had a bit more to cling onto but there you go. As others have said, we're a shit football team.

[AlexAlexCropley]

What has depressed me more than anything is learning that Villa fans bet on their own team to lose .
what ever the circle is below the seventh circle of hell,we are there

[Fin Feds Dad]

He could do with looking at a few level 2 coaching drills ......

I was there.
Yes it was.
I hope so but doubt it.
We will.
Onwards and upwards.
Yes.

All of this - but especially the bit in bold.

He's got to get investment, he's got to get the supporters back on side, he's got to be seen to be moving forward - not accepting survival but on a path to competing once more.

Just this season alone, we have played 13 games at Villa Park if you include the cup games .Our record is won 3 drew 2 lost 8 .Just how bad do things have to get before Learner wakes up and sees there needs to be a change of manager ?

[Shepp]

For goodness sake sack this idiot manager. He says we have a project but is incapable of explaining to us what the aims and objectives of said project are!

what ever the circle is below the seventh circle of hell,we are there

I've been betting on us to lose every home game and usually without scoring. It's my way of getting the money for my season ticket back.

It feels dirty but I'll be damned if I'm going to stop while Lambert is in charge.

[Legion]

Stick your mortgage on Arsenal and/or Liverpool then.

[danlanza]

Maybe it is just me but my club comes before any bloody bet.
I could never back Villa to loose even if it was repo day the next day.
Like i said, maybe it's just me.
FFS.

Damn - wish I'd thought of that.

I'm a season ticket but miss odd games due to work.

The first and only goal I've seen us score all season was against Swansea.  Still I've only been to 6 home games.
