Aston Villa vs Fulham Post Match Thread

[curiousorange]

Even a point today, I'd argue that we were safe because none of the teams in immediate danger look like putting together any form. But we've become one of those teams that can't buy a win and are sinking alarmingly fast. Logic tells me we'll just about scrape safety, but for about four years we've had to use luck in varying degrees to achieve it. I fear it's run out.

Really depressing today. The team selection and bench told it's story about the shortage of quality and the match proved that. We were well beaten today - yes if we had been given the penalty it might have ended up different but we were second best with few options to change things. I hope we can do enough to stay up but am beginning to think we may need to go down to bring about change. How sad is that?

Does anyone seriously think we have a prayer of seeing him sacked?

Even though it is almost certain that through statistics alone he will have taken us backwards with more money than last year.

Unless something changes drastically this is only going to end one way us going down next season or the one after that.

It'd be easier to accept if we had been the better team.

We weren't, though, we were truly abysmal.

Bowery is one of the worst players i've seen at villa

Bit harsh. It's not his fault he's always played out on the wing. Is he any good in the middle? I guess we'll never know. Strikers rely on confidence, I'd imagine his is shot.

This is just unacceptable something has to give, we are doomed!!

Another shite weekend,  Lambert, Faulkner, Lerner out!!!!

The trouble is there's 5-6 other players in the squad who could compete for that title too. To have so many duffers in our squad at one time, who get ample game time too, says a lot about where we're at right now.

That's the point, in terms of quality our squad is one of the worst in the league. It's really awful.

It's embarrassing to watch at times. It makes it worse when we've got a good academy. Lets face it, Albrighton isn't the best prospect who's come through our ranks in the last 10 year, and he's an average player but he's one of our best players at the moment. So even if our academy is topping out at potentially average players, that probably gives them a leg up over some of Lamberts signings.

I'd rather see GG, Johnson, Robinson etc get given game time in the last few games and have the chance to impress rather than players like Bowery and Sylla who are hopeless. Bennett was an accident waiting to happen again too. Very poor.

The amount of players in poor form or who have regressed leads me to conclude Lambert is like a PE teacher - he has his favourites, and if you're not one of them he's merciless.

[The Left Side]

Getting fed up with this now, a lucky win against Chelsea has probably saved him for this season but this is unacceptable.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Pathetic, appalling, tragic, depressing, expected, same old shit ...

Pick your own summation.

Fuck off Lambert.

[Phil from the upper holte]

We won't go this season, Fulham ain't got a game as easy as today. Cardiff can't buy a win, see Sunderland and Norwich run in is solid. Next season I dread to think

It's not his fault but he's part of the problem with Lamberts Villa. A player from League 2 who didn't even stand out there, with a poor goal return, who we bring in and then only ever play out of position. I don't think anyone will ever fathom Lamberts logic on this one.

I think we've now seen more than enough of Bowery to know he's playing well above his level. Give our own premier league academy boys a go now. Robinson should be fired up.

[Deano's Mullet]

1 point better off than at same stage last season. Amazing improvement.

[PaulWinch again]

Bowery is above his level it's not his fault though.

[PeterWithesShin]

Should we have had a pen? Looked like a good shout to me but as I was at the other end of the ground I could easily be wrong.
