Exactly, which games will 'define our season'?

Not the ones against the good teams, obviously, they don't count.

After suffering that shite again , if anyone thinks that we are not bang in trouble  , then wake up.

Clueless manager - way worse than mcleish - yes - honestly .

If randy or Faulkner have got any idea on football then they need to get rid - we are sleepwalking toward the trap door .

I called it two years ago - we have all called it for ages - the only people who can't see it are the wankers in charge

If there are no rumblings of a sacking tomorrow, I think I'm done for the season.

I get the manager out talk, I don't want him here but lets lament some blame at the players feet. Too many of them don't even look like footballers

Why though? It's a manager's job to get the best out of them. It's a manager's job to have some vague idea of what formation they'd be suited to. It's a manager's job to motivate them and it's a manager's job to give them a bollocking when they consistently fail to perform.
So the players aren't to blame at all? Just one man? You're mad mate.

Who said they're not to blame at all?

Clearly though there is one bloke who is more to blame. Take Agbonlahor out of that team and we might look slightly more threatening but we'd still probably go down. Leave Donkey Cleverley out and we might look more creative (though we didn't today) but we'd still probably go down.

Take Lambert out and we might stay up.
Well when I said lets blame some of these players you said why and started saying it's the managers fault for nearly everything, Like he programs the 11 who go out like they're robots.  Players don't take enough responsibility for me, these multi millionaire adults who have their arses wiped during their whole career. No matter what formation, what tactic etc you still go out, get stuck in, fight to win the ball back, pass and move into space, cross the ball in the direction of his team mate and hit the back of the net. You don't need managers for that....you do that because you're a footballer.

Formations and tactics aside, you still play football to the best of your ability. I don't agree with motivating either, you're a bloody footballer with possibly one of the best lifestyles in society. For me they're all left off the hook far too easy these days.

Where's Lamberto Crappio's post match interview? Can't find anything on the BBC.


MANAGER REACTION

Hull 2-0 Aston Villa
Posted at
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert: "I thought we played well in a lot of parts of the game. There's that little area where we're not confident enough. We lost poor goals, especially the first one. The ball should never travel that distance.
"I've told the players they've got 13 cup finals. That's how they've got to look at it. I know they're more than capable of doing it.
"There's seven or eight teams in it. We just have to get ourselves out out it."

Paul Lambert on fans' banner calling for him to be sacked: "I was aware of it months ago. I try to do my best. It's a great football club with a massive fanbase and they want to see their team doing well.
"We've got to keep battling away and keep our heads up. We're certainly in a fight. You have to keep going and keep being positive.
"There's a fight, the lads know it. There's a lot of football to be played."

He hasn't got it in him and I think he knows it. I don't actually think he believes what he is saying. He's turned into a zombie, spouting whatever is going make sure he either stays for as long as possible or leaves with a decent pay off. He won't admit any culpability as it could affect him financially.


As soon as I saw a lengthy manager's quote I chose not to read it. Otherwise I suspect I would have ended up throwing the laptop through the window.

I would like to know in what part of the game did we play well? He is digging in for a pay off it's obvious.
Any manager that can bring discipline and order will do and yes i would take Mcleish for the rest of the season anybody Ads will do just get this moron out of the club.

Do you really expect, or want, the manager to say "that's it, we're fucked and getting relegated"?

On the fans protests " I was aware of it months ago"

He knows he's not going anywhere.

It use to be managers of teams like Bolton, Fulham, who use to say ' we have 12 cup finals to play'.

I've just listened to the mumble of a post match interview.  He's not going to resign - I think he is actually deluded and thinks he can get us out of this mess. Bewildering.

This is our year for going down. And rightfully so. We've been lucky the pat few years. But our luck has now run out. If Tom fox doesn't like flipping coins, then we're in real trouble.


Sadly so. We stink out this league.

I keep saying this, but I honestly mean it, if I weren't a Villa fan, I would really, really want us to go down.

We don't deserve to be in this league. About four years ago, we blatantly just gave up even pretending to try.
