Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Oh, and the Lerner Out banner. I understand the frustration but it's not what we need right now is it? It was a silly idea.

Also pointless, considering Lerner is doing his best to do exactly that.

Sherwood is probably in the same frame of mind as us, which ever way he shuffles the pack the result is the same, for whatever reason the 'squad' available to him is just devoid of a winning habit mentality call it what you like

Isn't that why we hired him? To provide 'a winning habit mentality'.

[OzVilla]

Sherwood is a chancer, that's not meant to be derogatory but it's just how it is. He has no experience, learning the trade, work in progress whatever way you want to describe it.

He's precisely not what we needed in our position which makes the appointment and lack of sourcing other options quite baffling to me.

Passion can only get you so far. Beethoven is meant to have said 'playing a wrong note is insignificant; playing without passion is inexcusable'. He'd obviously never seen us play - we're playing all the wrong notes, and in the wrong order too.

Cracking goal from Gary Gardner yesterday. Crikey a goal scoring midfield Villa player, didn't know there was such a thing. Get him back for the Albion match, even it's on the bench. Anything's worth a try.

[Legion]

I don't think he can be recalled until the end of the season.

[JUAN PABLO]

The football was better than any of lamberts

But so many poor players in the team who can't control, pass and have doughnuts for brains.

Watching them yesterday I was thinking where are all these brilliant lambert signings as people say he can spend well given the money , thou a few were players  yesterday we had before he even came in, of course so many on loan.

I don't want to see agbonlahor again , Weisman is useless and Westwood stop taking set pieces .

All you players with new contracts , hold your heads in shame.

We can still do this but McGrath, its going to be tough.

I spoke to the lads with the banner. It was mainly a pop about 'Too little too late' they added the bit about Lerner.
The whole mis management of Gardner not being recalled is as much Fox's fault as Lamberts.

[JUAN PABLO]

That was a cracker by Gardner.

Lets hope he kicks on.

Who agreed the loan and the agreement that he was not recallable until the end of season if that's true?

[Stu]

Just think. If we were to go down and had to sell Benteke, we could re-sign proven Championship striker Darren Bent.

This scenario was dreamt up by Joe C....

[Toronto Villa]

The question ultimately will be whether or not the manager can improve the overall play sufficiently enough to change results before the end of the season. He said himself yesterday there was plenty of desire but we lacked quality. Now you can make the argument that a better or more experienced manager would be able to fix this faster, but we don't absolutely know that. What we do know is the level of damage done by Lambert on these players. To think we had scored 12 league goals all season up to his dismissal beggars belief. The players must have had any enthusiasm and spirit completely sucked out of them. This wasn't going to be a quick fix whoever came in.

Goal can be seen here - 35 yards out.
