Here.

We got what we deserved, fuck all. A good first 5 minutes followed by total shit all over the pitch.

[Toronto Villa]

abysmal. Truly abysmal

[bertlambshank]

Players went missing today-Shame on you all.

Just how, how, how do you explain that performance after last week.  Defies belief.  Except that there appears to be no plan b again.

[Herman]

Normal service resumed

Id like to know why we decided to stop playing after 15 minutes

[django]

Players not good enough.

[PaulWinch again]

Absolutely diabolical from 10 minutes on, one of the worst displays I've seen. Baker was absol ately atrocious and his lack of positional sense cost us 3 goals, Bacuna was pathetic, Gabby was hopeless, Albrighton is never a central player, Sylla is not good enough, Bertrand was poor and we had no clue what to do. We were utterly terrible and embarrassing.

It's time to admit it's not working out with Lambert. A nice win last week but these performances are becoming the norm and that really pisses me off.

Our worst ever home record, heaviest ever defeat, constantly going out of the cups to lower league opposition (but especially the two legged defeat to Bradford) are some of the lowest points I've experienced as a Villa fan. He's been worse than Mcleish and there just hasn't been any progress at all. Enough is enough and I want him gone.

Garbage - stoke had 6 goals away all season and pissed all over us - sick of these displays and false dawns under lambert .

We have seen what this team is capable of - we need someone who can get the best from these players on a regular basis - talk of a new contract for lambert is depressing - get rid in the summer !

[Jimbo]

Thickie Villa comes bounding back like a great big stupid dog in a supermarket, knocking over the baked beans and generally getting into a right old silly mess.

[Goldie.7]

Oh well. This match sums up why i'd never buy a ST.

[Deano's Mullet]

Normal service resumed. Tactic at start of game - pour everything down the left wing using the usual three men upfront and leaving midfield short of numbers. When he have got the ball generally just pass back to the keeper. No movement. No passion. No ideas. Chasing the game? No, why bother. Just play the same tactic you've been using all match, simple punts up into the air and hope for the best when the ball drops. Worst Villa boss ever who doesn't even get up off the bench once. "Fucking rubbish" shouted Delph and hes not wrong. More of this next season? No thanks.Lambert out.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm starting to think that when we get results, it is despite Lambert as much as it is because of him.

NINE home league defeats already and still three home games left.

I just have no confidence at all in his ability to improve us so we play consistently well.

I understand that mid table teams are inconsistent, but really, how is it acceptable to lose nine times at home?

I honestly think we'd be best off just saying goodbye to him this summer.
