QPR v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[mattjpa]

To the guy that said sacking him was knee jerk, it's not. It should have happened during the Christmas run. It should have happened toward the back end of last season. Every time he gets a last chance saloon win when we don't deserve one and survives.

Can I get that 90 minutes back, what a waste of time.

Get a tivo box. I paused the telly from half seven til quarter past eight and fast forwarded through lots of the game. Watched half-time though, always the best bit of Villa games these days.

Thought Sanchez looked good apart from his cock-up.

Any chance you can fast forward through the next few months and tell us it gets better?

Lerner seems scared to sack his manager. Get Moyes in as soon as possible!!

[SamTheMouse]

After the game, Lambert goes to see Lerner:

- Sorry boss, we gave it everything and I'm proud of the lads, but QPR were just too good for us tonight.

- Don't worry, Paul. It was a good effort in the circumstances. Don't get disheartened. No, please stop crying. I can't stand to see a grown man weep. For god's sake man, stop it! Look, how'd you like another year on that contract? No? What about two? OK? Oh, thank god for that.

The one tiny, tiny glimmer of hope in all this - and it is truly tiny - is that Moyes is available, wants to get back into the game, and Lerner loves him.

We need a change.

Seeing Joe Cole and Tom Cleverley in villa shirts. Pause and just take that in fully.
We are so in trouble I think it's a lost cause now .

Austin saying they only needed half the performance against pool to get something off us is hilarious

If he hadn't been given a 4 year contract maybe, but that 4 year deal extinguishes that hope.

I have nothing against Cleverley. He's not a bad player. He's tidy in possession and technically a bit better than our other midfielders. It's just that I can't for the life of me see what he's meant to be doing for us on the pitch. And frankly, it doesn't look like he can either.

Cissokho started life well here but he's slowly having any semblence of being a good player drained out of him by Lambert. He's turning into Bambi on ice. We slowly drained the quality out of Bertrand last season.

The only positive today was Sanchez who looks a proper player, but he's only got 60 minutes in him at the moment, such is the change of pace to what he's used to. He gave it away a few times around the hour mark, resulting in their second. I'm not gonna blame him too much though because overall he was our best player and at least tried to set things in motion.

There's no way with the players we have at our disposal, that we shouldn't be capable of a solid finish. It's just the dire management. Clueless tactics and players just seem to lose all motivation at times when Lambert should be firing them up. He's unquestionably the worst manager I've known in my time as a Villa fan (89-present). He's worse than McLeish, who could even hope to break as many negative records as Lamberk has.

[NeilH]

I am devoid of hope for us. There's not an ounce of joy watching us these days and not a chance of anything whatsoever changing. I am resigned and numb to us dropping and entering the graveyard of once great clubs.

FOR GOD'S SAKE GOOOOOO

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

Another thing... how can Concrete Ron look like Concrete playing for Holland against Costa, Messi et al, and for us play like  Playdoh Ron against Charlie friggin Austin.

[WBAKev]

Where to start? Lamberk and his 4 year deal? Joe Cole as our plan B? Keane and his beard? This great club is a laughing stock and there is no mistake we are only headed in one direction, straight to The Championship and then what are we gonna have to bounce back with? I'd love to offer a shred of hope but in the new financial era who is gonna be mad enough to buy us? It's so depressing, we are done for.
