The Paul Lambert thread - poll reset after our capitulation to Hull

[andyh]

The fact that he has brought in the fat,useless c unt that is grant holt is enough to justify getting rid.
To think that that utter,utter fucking wastrel is taking a wage from our club really sticks in my craw.
I know there are lots of things to be angry about, but for me, this is a prime example of his total lack of judgement.

[Archie]

We just don't have any really foundations to how we play. When we play well it all seems precarious, based on instinct and timing and touch and the players having confidence, not all of which have nothing to do with Lambert. However, when things go wrong it all flails and falls apart, and the players get the ball with no idea what might be done  it. That is Lambert's fault.

This.
We did not have a gameplan against Stoke
It seme that the two last wins had come by chance.
I have wanted PL when he was at Norwich, and I would never expect that he would bring me to hate football.
We are lucky enough to have just gained as many points as we need  to gain the safety.
This is not my Villa, the mighty and proud Aston Villa.

[Toronto Villa]

Here's what I don't get. We started fast and well, scored the goal, looked good for another 10 minutes or so and then fell to pieces. How do you explain that? I get why the manager is going to be criticized, but even he won't be able to explain what followed such a good start. In some ways no different to playing like shit for 20 minutes against Norwich, and playing like Barcelona for the next 25. It has to be hugely frustrating for Lambert, if I am to offer him any defence.

[PaulWinch again]

What I'd like him to explain is how we consistently concede one goal and then concede another within 3-4 minutes. It has happened too many times to be a coincidence now.

[Legion]

All we need are 3 more points to be safe barring a massive swing in GD.

No thanks , I really don't want to hear him say anything except  " it was a pleasure to manage Aston Villa and I'm sad to have left ".

We will be safe but will face another season of similar dross again next year if lambert is in charge.

Sorry Toronto, he has no defence. There have been too man unwanted records broken under Lambert. He has to go, unfortunately he wont because it suits Lerner just fine

[eastie]

I remember jimmy hill saying it's not chairmen who sack managers but the fans - if there is a big enough backlash lambert will go .

This is what baffles me. From our start today, I was expecting a repeat of the Norwich scoreline, not a reversal. Nothing changed out there, it was still the same eleven on the pitch, so how can it be explained? It's not (lack of) ability, they proved that eight days ago. They started brightly, so they were evidently set up properly. It has to be in their heads. If anything, it shows up a lack of leadership on the pitch. Never underestimate the effect of a really good captain, and I do think we ain't got one. I'm not saying Ron's a bad one, but I must've missed his rallying cry when they equalized.

not saying you're wrong, just looking for some sort of rational explanation (if one even exists) as to many things that have happened to us this season. Today is about as bizarre as having such a good record against the top sides, or having lost 9 of 16 at home. The whole thing sometimes doesn't make any sense.

[David_Nab]

If I am to be critical todays its that we lacked options off bench and 3 of his signings Luna Tonev and Helanius couldn't even make that bench.

[eastie]

The fact 73% on here say he shouldn't be sacked saddens me almost as much as today's result - what has happened to our great club

[taylorsworkrate]

That's the damning stat. We've lost 9 out of 16 at home.

Sure but with the same results and performances, if you'd change Lambert's name to McCleish you'd be lucky to find anybody that wouldn't want him sacked.
