But where are the protests? Its been quiet around the ground and we've never put Lambert or Lerner under pressure from the terraces. If we turned then ante up then there would have to be a reaction. the press would be all over it and we're only newsworthy at the moment for negative reasons so a good crowd/manager spat is just what Sky would love. I think Lerner would listen. I genuinely don't think he realises the genuine groundswell of opinion growing against Lambert. We haven't got started yet, nowhere near it, but when the boos get started at home then I think it will break teh apathy that has set in. I think Lambert has until we go 1 down against tottenham.

This in a nutshell. The apathy at Villa Park is astounding considering what we've had to witness over the last few years, and even if nothing could be ultimately achieved by protesting, at least we could hold our heads up high knowing we've told the footballing world how much we hate what's happened to our club over these last horrible 5 years.

One would like to think that Mr. Fox would notice the dwindling crowds and be able to put two and two together.  Lambert shit management of the club is causing this!! I am hugely surprised that Lambert has had it so easy from the fans.

It's probably a generational thing. 8 years ago before Lerner took over some might remember my impassioned letters to doug.  He answered them all.  Then I was trying to get fans to join me to get a meeting with him and then the players revolt against O'Leary happened.  I honestly couldn't be arsed to do that sort of thing these days probably because I feel no matter who we have managing us I don't feel we are in a position to be a major competitive force anymore.

He's had it easy because of the Mcleish factor I think (including what happened with the fans during Mcleish's last game against Lambert's Norwich).  But this will be the season his easy ride ends.

I don't think we are particulary inconsistent either, what is it? Worst home league record in Europe over the last 3 years, least points picked up over the last 3 years combined etc.

I'm not going to defend anyone at the club at the moment and I'm as worried as the next guy but the above is a bit misleading isn't it?  The Blues haven't won a home game since 1983 or something.

Back in the bottom 3 thought I'd bring this old favourite back. It's also a spot Silhillvilla can call home even after we've turned things around.

Jon Fear flaps his wings and a thunderstorm happens in H&V land.

Predictable.

We're going to turn things around?

Will any of us still be here by then?
