West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Matt Collins]

I'm all for blaming Lambert when it's his fault

But today was all about richardson, and to a lesser extent gabby and benteke, who's second half play stopped is getting out and then he missed a wonderful chance

Okore fantastic again. Clark good too. Delph made a difference

But I wonder what the win rate for teams reduced to ten men in the first half is? I bet it's tiny

[CJ]

Kieran Richardson's stupidity has cost us big time. With 11 men we'd have strolled that. Having said that Beneteke had 2 chances to rescue a point near the end - possibly his worst game for us so far?

[Toronto Villa]

We are the Kings of Flattering to Deceive. Today is indicative of the Lambert era. Never any real progress. Yes we lost a player early but there was no need to go into that defensive a shell.

No doubt we'll fucking go again

[dean saunders left boot]

Why did it take til the last 10 minutes to decide, oh we better actually attack. Benteke was woeful.

[timeoutbigbar]

Richardson can fuck right off.  Don't want to see that prick stink out our midfield ever again.

[Jimbo]

Thickest Villa team, manager and chairman combo in our history. A brain, a brain, our Holte End for a brain!

[Legion]

You idiot, Richardson.

[CT]

Why does Gabby get away with this? Week after week, month after month he offers next to nothing.

I'd be at pains to even have him on the bench but we've recalled Robinson for a reason so give him a go.

pre Christmas do at my brother in law's tomorrow, who is an Albion fanatic. Awkward.

[atomicjam]

That familiar feeling that means there's no Match of the Day tonight for me. The positive is that Okore looks class.

[russon]

Richardson cost us big style but then again I reckon it should only have been a yellow.

Good first half, absolute powder puff going forward in the 2nd.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We got what we deserved - nothing.

We can blame Richardson all we want but the real culprit is the idiot that sends his team out week after week, month after month, year after year without a fucking plan.

To lose to a really poor side like Albion, you need to be really, really shit. We unquestionably are.

[Smirker]

People will blame Lambert, but today's real culprit is Richardson. I don't care how shite Lambert has been the last few months, if Richardson hadn't been so ball-achingly stupid, we wouldn't have lost this. At least our next match is easy.

Spot on. He should know better as well.

[Jimbo]

pre Christmas do at my brother in law's tomorrow, who is an Albion fanatic. Awkward.

Could you perhaps slit his throat? It'd be one less Christmas present to give.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I'm beginning to wonder if Gabby would get as many games at any other Premier League club except ourselves. A move might be best for all parties at the end of the season.
