Watching Derby Preston, we have had some right gormless managers, Lambert letting Callum Robinson go and Sherwood letting Weimann go, what goes through their head.



02 Apr 2018 14:46:42
Also Martin oneil letting Gary Cahill go!
I'm afraid every manager in one way ot other make mistakes in letting some players leave,
Also manager's who keep players who need to be shipped out?



02 Apr 2018 16:12:25
Keeping players who need to go is a bit different to letting ones go who should have stayed.



02 Apr 2018 16:40:27
Either way you look at it Chris all manager's make mistakes there only human,
Us fans are never satisfied are we!

Joe Bennett, Enda Stevens, both on the pitch last night.
The league is littered with ex AVFC players that managers have discarded and believe it or not many on this site have called for them to go.
Our managers in the Lerner era suffered from lack of support and had to ship out players for economic reasons regardless of their talent.
Frequently Lambert is blasted by many but he suffered more than any of our managers.
Some on here will say that he was useless and some of them are the ones that wanted him from Norwich where he was a very good manager.
It was only when Lerner cut funding that he struggled as any manager would have.
Benteke came in under Lambert and we banked £25m when he left.
Most managers would have failed through Lerner stupidity, it is only since the Dr arrived that we have had some stability.
There you are, my opinion, open honest.
Now i wait for the usual torrent of "abuse" from the usual posters.

Not from me oldvillan, you make a very good point, I have to hold my hand up and admit I was one of them.
It is in hindsight that I now realise the constraints Lambert worked under.
No abuse from me oldvillan, well said.

Thanks Dave.

It's good to see common sense on the site.



03 Apr 2018 16:07:58
Your welcome mate.
I have read it again and its like stew (food), its better the second time.

My predictions for the play offs,
Fulham v Middlesbrough
Villa v millwall
What do you fans think will be the line ups.



02 Apr 2018 17:28:09
OK. I’ve put all the final six games into a spreadsheet for Villa, Fulham, Derby, Middlesborough, Bristol City, Sheff Utd, Millwall and Preston and predicted the scores (because I’m that sort of Anorak)

Whilst Millwall are winning consistently, Derby have a game in hand with the rearranged Cardiff fixture and, if you look at the run-ins for all the above, its difficult to call. When the dust clears after tomorrow, then there will be 6 games left, so 24 available points (27 for Derby) . Millwall have then got to play most of the other promotion-chasers (Bristol C, Sheff U, Fulham, Boro, Villa) whereas Preston’s run-in looks to give them more points potential. I think Middlesborough might falter, so my prediction is:

Villa v Derby
Fulham v Preston or Millwall

(though that does depend on Preston getting a point away at QPR)

Villa and Fulham to go up.

Eitherway, I don’t want to be drawn with Millwall as I would hate to be at The Den if we happen to knock them out of the play-off’s!



02 Apr 2018 19:33:21
Menace, I take it you mean Villa and Fulham in the final.
You haven't mentioned Cardiff mate.



02 Apr 2018 22:42:57
Yup, sorry Dave, Villa and Fulham to go up from the play-off's. Cardiff and Wolves going up automatically, Cardiff being 8 points clear of Fulham as we speak.



02 Apr 2018 23:21:43
Nothing worse than messing up your own corrections. Villa in the final to beat Fulham . It's been a long weekend.



03 Apr 2018 15:26:14
Yeh same here Menace, put some water with it Mate.
I hope you right.
