We have all had the wool pulled over our eyes to swallow the club line McLeish bad, Lambert good. Lambert is not a good manager or if he is, he has shown nothing to prove it since taking charge at Villa Park, but he has produced an endless stream of evidence that he is no more competent than Alex McLeish. I do not say it lightly because I love the Villa but that defence today was the worst I have seen in many years. Not only are they unskilled, they are slow and hesitant in everything they do. Clark and Baker are nice, willing lads but they are far too slow for the premiership.
