yep, not much to argue or discuss there. I imagine you wrote it as I read it with an air of resignation.

I read it with both resignation and demoralisation.

I would agree that Lambert has been successful in identifying decent players at a reasonable rate but that makes him more suitable for chief scout than manager, the best he could do is to leave Gabby and Weimann out of the squad altogether.

Another accurate but quite depressing read Dave.
I bet you can't wait for the day to have something different, a goal, a tad of entertainment and maybe a win to write about.

Yes it isn't working.

And quite right about Sinclair - we've had far too many of his ilk over the years. Far, far too many. One of them wasn't even ours and we paid £2m for the pleasure.

Dave can't you invent a parallel universe and write about that so that there is something Villa related that brings some much needed cheer?

Dave, you're beginning to sound as depressed as I feel!

Captures the mood perfectly.

Sadly.
