So what can the fans do?

[Damo70]

This is worse than anything McLeish served up yet Lambert hasn't received a fraction of the abuse. Maybe we should all pretend Lambert managed the noses or something equally as trivial to get a proper protest going. If you're going wear foil hats to Villa Park this weekend otherwise you'll continue to be affected by the club propaganda that everything is just fine.

I disagree. There has been a similar amount of stick/abuse towards Lambert as McLeish got (prior to the Bolton game). And that propaganda line is just bizarre.

He gets plenty of stick on here but I personally haven't noticed it at TSM levels at a game. However, due to ill health I haven't been able to go for two months. (Insert your own sick of.....Villa/Lambert/losing joke here).

TSM only got it a couple of games from the end of the season

There have been Lambert Out chants at various times this season - Blackpool was the most sustained with the goal being followed by "we still want Lambert Out" - there are many fans who will not do anything while the team are playing for fear it will affect the team performance - All I say to them is can it be any worse?

It is a human need to have an effect upon our environment, if we don't we become stressed and ill, for that reason I shall do whatever I can to look after my already fragile mental health and make my feelings known at every opportunity

Absolutely. This is the best squad since 2010, and the worst performances.

Indeed, and a lot of that is down to Lambert's signing good players. Even if it is just his scouts doing good work he still has to make the decision. The trouble is, there are many good scouts in the world who would do very very badly if they were made managers.

I think you give him too much credit. If the signing were that good, we wouldnt be bottom three

We've seen clubs climb away from trouble quickly before (like Crystal Palace under Pullis) simply because a bad manager was replaced with one that could better organise a team. I believe this would happen with Villa, as long as we got the right manager in.

First time McLeish really got any was Wigan away near the end of Feb. First time he copped it at VP was Bolton 24th April. Lambert has been getting stick to varying degrees since Burnley away.

Remember those "Proud History, Bright Future" scarves from those foolish, many-splendoured early days? Have you still got yours? How about bringing those to a match and chucking them back on the pitch?

As hinted in another thread, we could all wear black or dark clothing.

[Jimbo]

Anything that involves mass participation is sadly doomed to failure - especially something as involved as dressing a certain way. We have to face up to the fact that Villa fans are not, and rarely have been, united. Plus there's still a great deal of apathy among fans.

If just 20 or 30 people chucked their scarves back at the club, onto the pitch after a specific match, that will have much more impact than 30 people dressing in black or not taking their seats in the Holte End. The message being: "if this is your bright future, you can stick it."

I wonder, if the heat was really turned up and onto Tom Fox how quickly he'd act to sack Lambert.

Great minds and all that but...I've still got mine gathering dust as I've never used it. When I woke up this morning my first thought was to cut the scarf in half, keep the Proud History bit, and send them the 'Bright Future' with a suitable accompanying note

[JUAN PABLO]

They only have to look at the AVFC Facebook page to see what the fans think.

They are not that stupid even thou I wonder why they keep posting embarrassing stuff as if everything is fine.

The root cause of our current situation is undoubtedly, in my view, Lerner and chucking the scarves on the pitch would be the perfect way to send that message to him.  The guy is simply incapable of making key decisions, judging people and planning long-term.   All these behind-scenes appointments should have been made  last summer in tandem with giving the manager a realistic transfer budget.  Instead,true to form, the chairman has got his strategy all arse about tit.  A scarf protest would be dignified whilst sending out a clear message.

[DeathorGlory]

When things like this happen in europe fans tend to turn up at training grounds and make there feelings known.

Maybe we all head to Bodymoor and vent our frustrations. Could also pick someone for assistant managers job whilst we are there.

[el león Benidorm]

I think a silent protest could be in order. Attend the match as normal and stand in abject silence for 90 minutes. This is easier said than done but it will surely get the message across. There can be nothing more eerie than a silent stadium... just ask any nose!

These plots never pan out . See the last 8 minute thing.
Spontaneous reactions are the only way to go

a catchy song might be the best bet.
