I don’t know why I said that really, as it isn’t really crunch time is it?
Not in relegation or whatever crunch time anyway. But it is in a sense, because I get the feeling that this particular game might be season defining.
I mean, if we lose this, it just continues our abysmal form, something that would surely leave us low in confidence even though we have games coming up against erm, lesser competition.
Whereas if we could get a win, it would boost confidence at just the right time.
Unfortunately, I just don’t see us getting anything.
I looked at the league table yesterday.
Everton are around 6th in the league, but their goals against record is very similar to ours. Which to me says that the defence isn’t the major problem.
The massive difference though, is that they have have scored 22 goals, as opposed to our frankly pitiful and disgusting 5 goals. No prizes for guessing where our problems are then.
Same as usual, we have no creativity and even less threat in front of goal.
So what am I saying?
I think Lambert’s most likely option will be to try and park the bus, with us trying to nick one.
Which it seems is about all Lambert is capable of.
How that’s going to work, when our defence has been decimated, I don’t know.
I can’t see past a two or three goal defeat, simple as.
What will undoubtedly be more interesting than the footy itself, will be the crowd.
Will tonight be the night they finally turn?

Sorry lads, been out carried a banner outside the ground calling for Lambert to go and not one lousy bastard walked with me, mind you nobody in the ground.have we still got idiots thinking we’ve turned the corner? Oh yes 3 never mind you’ll well one day.
Get well one day 🙂
“Carried a banner around vp”?
Bill you’re full of shit.
Good to see you lot out protesting tonight…… Like real fans should….!!!
Good point tonight, take that v them.
UTV – Paul Lambert’s Claret Blue Army – UTV
I can bitch and moan with the best of them but am I missing something? Were we as bad as some are making out? I thought we played all right and Weiman should have put it beyond doubt, just what is the point of bitching for the sake of it?
You don’t really think we played well do you?
10 men behind the ball all game, even when we luckily found ourselves 1-up.
This is more negative now than it was under McLeish.
Get a grip.
Lambert OUT.
Did I say well? Worse than Mcliesh? I think he had a much better squad at his disposal Lerner’s the probl…Oh f**k it I can;t be bothered.
Spot on lamberk
try asking yourself that question. you aint stopped bitching since we last got a draw against a top 4 team. and we’ve had the international break since then> negative prick.
May I at this festive time wish a merry eczema and a happy gonorrhoea.
So West Ham are a top 4 team lol u really are a fuckwit
We put 10 men behind the ball, scored a lucky goal and hoped to nick it. As always we got found out and failed again. Ones hot on target, no second half goals for 18 matches and 6 goals scored all season. It’s shameful
I want villa to win every game but understand it is unrealistic but what I always want is to be entertained and not by the opposition. Everybody that I speak to always say that villa are a boring team. Shit tactics shit manager shit owner !
Agree tgh I would rather okay entertaining football and lose 3.2 than watch us stick 10 men behind the ball and fluke a draw. Pointless
oh dear, its very quiet on here, why is that. oh, i get it, we didnt lose, even though we were playing a top 4 team again. sorry, bill and skiddy did the lads ruin your evening? there, there did dums lol
8 games without a win and a whopping 2 goals scored in that time.
Plenty to be positive about.
Lambert OUT.
Lamberk some people cannot count, two goals is fantastic to our believers,
But they were 2 points against top 4 teams. LMAO !!!
One shot on target ffs. No second half goals for 18 matches complete joke
Not exactly a game to remember! But In all honesty it was a better performance than we have seen recently but definitely nothing to get excited about. The football was dire, same old Villa, defend for your lives, hoof and chase. Which is just unacceptable, no plan b and the subs were a fucking disgrace. We are a boring team without a doubt. We are going nowhere with this man in charge.
25311. Another record Lamberk can take with him. The lowest attendance in 15 years, and against a side 2nd in the table. S don’t worry Bill, you are not alone, the other 15000 who want Lamberk out decided to keep themselves out.
Awful crowd and bear in mind it was probably less than that as they take into account season ticket holders that don’t attend.
