Hot off the press

The last paragraph sums things up perfectly.

Very much so.

[JUAN PABLO]

I'm still flabbergasted that Lerner gave this man a 4 year contract after what he's put us through these last 2 and a bit years. We really are a car crash of a club and there's only one person to blame for it all, and that's Randy Lerner.

I forgave Lerner after to employing McLeish but giving this man a new contract , shows he has not got a clue.

Lambert should have gone in the summer with moyes in.

[Walmley_Villa]

Well said Dave.

[tomd2103]

Sums the situation up perfectly. 

[QBVILLA]

I said it on here a while ago, our squad is 6th -10th all day long, put Lambert in charge of it and it's 14th - 20th.

I used to feel sorry for him, promoted above his ability and struggling with little or no support from his absent parent, now I just hate everything about him and just want him gone.

Sorry but i can't hand on heart say we have a squad better than ten other sides in the division.

Yes it really does, while Lerner might be the disease that is corroding the club, Lambert is certainly doing nothing to ease any of the symptoms.

Nor can I. First 11 maybe when most or all are fit.

We have a 25 goal a season striker up front for us, something nobody outside of the top six do. Everton paid £28 million for a player that will score 15 at most in a good season.

Yet we have no plan beyond hoping he does something magical. We don't put enough crosses in, when we do, we put them from deep and we don't get players in support of him.

Organise this squad right and it is capable of finishing in the top half.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

I confess to having been a wobbler. I've been in favour, been disappointed, wanted him sacked, been impressed, been disappointed, wanted him sacked, and wanted to keep him by turns.

Sacked is my current state, and it'll take something momentous to wobble me back in his favour.

Good article btw.

Benteke is potentially a 25 goal a season striker, but only potentially. Lukaku the same. Can add the likes of Berahino, Bony and a few others to that list.

[David_Nab]

Echo the comments on the last section , we are not a bottom 6 squad but right now I doubt Lambert would get midtable in the championship with this squad.

We all know about the cut backs and lack of funds but after 2.5 years should be some improvement but we have gone backwards his tactics have been found out and he has no plan b.

[Lizz]

Can't disagree with any comments here.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Succinct and forthright Dave.

Like a few others, I have been sitting on the fence regarding Lambert...but another tactically clueless showing, another unwanted record and further humiliation for our beautiful football club...shows he is not fit to be running team matters at Aston Villa and he needs to go.

[Villafirst]

The club was in better hands under McLeish, and that's saying something!

[Villan For Life]

A depressingly good article Dave. I really wish the subject matter could rouse a little more positivity but it just ain't happening for me and thousands like me.
