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

[Ads]

We won half our games in March, we will probably win half of them in April too.

But at the end of the season the table won't read:
Aston Villa. P38 W19 L19 Pts57

I know.

[supertom]

I fancy us against Palace and Swansea though.

Swansea is the game, if any, I think we might win. Palace I think will be too well drilled under Pulis and we don't like playing his sides usually.

Maybe, I just expect a response and think Gabby, Delph and KEA will inject some quality and resilience.

Hahaha nice one

Our record at home suggest a real likelihood that we won't pick up another point at home thus season. Southampton and Hull, nothing gives me optimism to think we'll get a sniff.

We certainly missed Gabby today, as much as he's not been fantastic, we just never had that option of pace to hit them with and we could have had joy against their backline. Robinson should have had a chance today.

On the bright side he has to play Gabby through the middle next week.

I don't fancy us against anyone.

In fact - and I really mean this, I am not just engaging in misery tourism - I genuinely think there isn't a team in the top flight who wouldn't have beaten us today.

Everytime I get a feeling about a game, I always end up being right. I am always hopeful, but occasionally I will say "I fancy us tonight". Liverpool away was an example. I heard their team and said "no way we are getting beat with the front four he has picked" and we murdered them. Chelsea away under TSM was another. I wish I got them more often, I may take up gambling then.

mystic Ads, what do you suggest for the rest of the season

Oh yes?

Fulham are a very poor side and need to score 3 to even draw most games. They're as good as down and I think we will beat them pretty handily.

Turner was as culpable as McNeill, Docherty had us bottom, O'Leary proved he couldn't do it without money and somehow managed to alienate the squad and support under Dougs nadir. McLeish goes without saying and Dr Jo may have been ahead of his time, but he was still poor.

Taylor, Little and Atkinson all had seasons equivalent to this one or the previous one, so even our very best in recent years have their wobbles. I would put all three above Gregory and O'Neill though.

Oh for FFS get a grip mate, O'Neill get 3 consecutive top 6 finishes! We'd die for that now!

How many sides with our injury issues in the centre of the park would have thought I know, lets play our 2 full backs from last week there? Fuck me. Genius.

I refuse to believe there are not a couple of 19 year old kids in the U21's that could not have come in alongside Westwood and been more effective in central midfield.

Why the hell is Sylla not playing as a holding mid with 20 to go today to make sure we close down in the exact areas the ball is playing in for the goal? Why does he refuse to ever play Clark in the centre of the midfield, where he even carried a goal threat under Houllier and looks quite accomplished? Why is Baker preferred at the back!?

I know we wanted him as a set of fans, but fuck, has any Villa boss had more patience and done less with it than this guy? Enough is enough. He simply has to walk. A new contract for him would be the biggest piss take in football.

Can we have Houllier and Gmac back please. They at least had a bloody plan.

You do realise he said SGT, Atkinson and Sir Brian were better than Pubehead, not that Lambert was?

[aj2k77]

Big Ron
Taylor
Little
MON
Gregory
Dol
Houllier
Lambert
McCock
Dr jo

For me. MON trumped by managers that finished higher and didn't nearly bankrupt the club and Lambert only above managers who nearly relegated us in the last 25 years, He is terrible.
