Burnley v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[wolfman999]

Any pearls of wisdom from our great leader in the post match press conference I couldn't risk watching it and putting a foot through the screen this side of christmas. We go again after another fine performance?

Oh, c'mon.
You know you know exactly what he said.

Sadly, yes.

Today just reinforced for me what I said on Monday, namely that our substandard tactics and average performances may get us the odd point here and there but they won't win us many games.

To win games we need to score. What is it now, seven?

It's mental.  One goal hasn't been enough to get us a win since Liverpool, in September.  So what does Lambert do when do score - stops trying to score any more.

[Flamingo Lane]

   I suspect that the new four year contract he received was greeted with utter dismay in the dressing room.   The players cant believe it any more than we can.

I suspect most of them will have been pretty pleased, knowing there's no-one else who'd be likely to employ them as premier league footballers.

Stoppage time summed it up for me....Sean Dyche shouting instructions and urging Burnley on, Lambert just sat there....decent first hour during which we should have won the game...

The fact remains that we couldn't beat a team who will be back in the Championship next season.  Who will be going with them is the concern, and our next game against Leicester will probably point to it being us, if we continue with Lambert as manager.

We held a team who were bang in form - having won their last two.  It's a good point.

With a bit of luck someone will plug the chair in!

No need for that fella/lady.

TOSM speaks: "It's always difficult to play against a promoted side."

And a midtable side. And a title winning side. And a side in a lower division. And every side we come up against.

We find it hard to play against ANY fucking side.

This is either dripping in sarcasm, or dripping in LSD-induced euphoria.

Gabby appalling again and he is captain.

There is no leadership.

He's had his sort of good game, don't expect anything from him till mid January.

[class-of-82]

I think the only person who can keep us up is yet again going to be the 12th Man

Keep the faith guys

Don't turn on the team

In his defence, there doesn't seem to be any aspiration or drive anywhere at the club to rise above mediocrity.
