Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[myf]

Is that 2 wins in 13?  Very lucky wins as well.  Says it all. 

Get used to this garbage as nothing is going to change with Lambo in charge and those clowns on the field.  I think we'll survive, just, but its just a downward spiral at the Villa, and can't see how Lambo could turn it around even with significant funds in the summer.

Can't be that bad?

2 wins out of 14 including Sheff Utd.  Is this what stability brings?

[Small Rodent]

Im Cardiff and Newcastle we've played two sides who had zero confidence on the back of several bad results and yet we failed to score in either. Dreadful and lambert should go.

To be replaced by who? And please bear in mind the recruiters and their abject knwledge of football.

Michael Laudrup. Easy. Swansea are lunatics sacking him.

2 wins out of 14 games is absolutely dreadful, so is scoring 0 goals in our last 3 games.

Back in the day when I woke up on the day of a Villa game the day became somehow special.   Win lose or draw the game would be the highlight of the day.   This morning, just like it has been for the last four years the knowledge when I woke up that I had to endure more pain of the kind that game has just inflicted on us makes Villa match days horrible and dreadful days.

I just want something, anything about the Villa to lift my spirits yet the whole club from top to bottom from owner to board to manager to managers staff to players - all the lot of them - seem totally unwilling to light the smallest spark to lighten the gloom.

They are squeezing the very last drop of my love of football and my love of the Villa out of me with days like today.

If I sprayed this sentiment on the eyeballs of anybody at Villa Park it would be dismissed as the moaning of a miserable old git.   Give him a flag to shut him up.

same here, it really is depressing. I don't understand how a team can be so bloody pathetic. Where is the fight?

Me too. I no longer watch our away games even if they're on TV and I'm counting down the games on my season ticket before I can escape. We are so predictably shit and watching us is such a joyless experience, what is the point?

Are the clowns who run our club up to the job of sacking a poor manager and employing a new one?

Like I said that's not a reason to keep Lambert though. At the end of the day you don't keep a bad manager, because you're scared of who to employ next. Whoever it is would struggle to do worse than Lambert is currently.

On the subject of Albrighton. Since he's come back he's been consistently one of our better players when he's played, whether coming on for 10 minutes or in rare starts. After last week he deserved to start. Lambert praised him as he has anytime Albrighton has come on and injected some sort of urgency and end product.
But he never gives the boy a run in the side. Certain players can play over and over again, guffing out mediocrity. Again though it boils down to nothing more than Lamberts narrow minded view on how we should play, and when I say narrow, I mean narrow. Since day one he said he didn't like wingers. He's stayed true to it. He acknowledges that Albrighton comes on and makes a difference. That Albrighton is a good player. Still, though, he can't fit a winger into his sides. This makes the Tonev signing even more bewildering.

Lamberts decision making is consistently fucking atrocious.

No  next question

[Steve67]

As much as I detested Doug Ellis, he would not have put up with this crap.

No.

However we are really awful to watch right now. Playing ugly and not getting results is a bad combo.

[curiousorange]

Villa ruin my day every time they play. I look forward to the summer because then I won't have to watch them.

[myf]

This really is a dreadful era to be a Villa fan. It's easily the worst squad of players since '87. The worst part about it is that there doesn't seem to be any sign of it changing.

Agreed.  I've got two young boys; 5 and 3.  How am I supposed to get them excited about this shower?

[Steve67]

We have very ominous signs at the moment.  We are now losing our away games, and not winning at home.  Oh shit!!

Tell them if they dont eat their veggies they will end up having to go see the bad men at Villa Park.

Think back 19 years ago. We came very close to getting relegated, but bloody hell we had plenty of entertainment to go with it.
This is just awful and the quality of the squad is woeful.
