So Westley - when the fans began chanting "Lambert Out!" did they go from being "good" fans like you to unsupportive fans? Did you counsel them in their delusional state? Are they fickle? Did you tell them that? What percentage were chanting? Let's have some facts...
Great day out - first half we should have put Burnley to bed. Second half, they came out with instructions to defend. Inevitable outcome.We have no problem with our squad of players on this performance: it's the tactics and management.At last, the fans are making their feelings known: "we want Lambert out" came out loud and clear.The fans were brilliant today.
Is my interweb broken or has the OS still not posted Lambo's post-match comments? I fully expect that they are just dodging flak, but I hope that he is in 'that' meeting with Mr Fox in time for the longed-for announcement on the imminent MOTD.
Paul Lambert was left to rue several missed chances as his side drew 1-1 with Burnley at Turf Moor.Joe Cole - who the manager praised highly post-match - bagged his first Villa goal on his first top-flight start for the club.But the visitors had other opportunities to extend the lead heading into the break.They didn't find the net again - and Danny Ings fired home a penalty in the 86th minute to leave Villa with three draws from their last three fixtures.Lambert was frustrated that his team weren't more clinical in that opening period.He said: "We should have won it. We should have been out of the sight in the first half to be honest."With the chances in the first half, we should have put the game to bed."The way we played for long spells of that game was really good. We should have killed the game off. We had chances to do it."Burnley came into it to their credit when they got the penalty and it puts you on the back foot."We lost two points. We could have lost three towards the end when Burnley hit the post."Burnley came at us really strongly in that little burst of play."When you pick up points away from home, it's good in this league. But this was one we should have won. This is a game that got away from us."Despite the disappointment of a late leveller, Lambert was delighted with the contribution of former Chelsea ace Cole, who impressed greatly in midfield.He added: "The big plus was Joe Cole with the way he played - I thought he was outstanding. He was exceptional."I thought he was a massive plus and it was a great goal he scored."He's getting fitter and fitter with every passing week. He has great enthusiasm for the game of football for a guy who has won everything in the game. His performance today was outstanding."

News of his sacking would be last on MOTD2 a week later.
On the plus side of today, I bought season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm from the CEX in Burnley.
When was the last time we put any team to bed, that isn't our style, we score (sometimes) then for the rest of the game, whatever the score is sit deep and hope for the best.
