Disappointing overall, the really sad thing is that before the game I would've taken the draw. We are in for a roller coaster ride this season, hopefully not a relegation battle but nothing so far this season tells me otherwise. 1 thing for sure is that we need some pace outside, playing Albrighton so tight gives him no chance to get beyond, Nzog looked slightly better when he came on. I am distressed writing this but if we don't' get our act together soon Championship here we come! Bent will also want out come January, watch this space! Villa till I die!

There's something very headless chickeness about this Villa team. Albion were the more composed team today where as Villa run around a lot but not much else, long season ahead.

Lol everyones gone quiet since we lost to saints but what bout last night. Surely one bad performance in four doesnt mean we are not on the way up still.

N N'zogbia got a goal agen finally even if it is a tap in.

Barry Ban-ana should be dropped for Carruthers for the City game midweek.

Would be nice to see Carruthers have a run in the side, whats the worst that could happen, can't get much worse then losing 4-1 to the Saints, maybe PL should make a few more changes!!

The Fonz aint half trying to impress lambert. Hes on loan at Bpool and starting tonight against Mboro. Hes got a brace before half time. In my eyes he wants a chance with us.

On another fact bpool seem to get good performances out of our younger players. Maybe we should link up with them give them a good few youngsters on loan a season. Try get phillips and ince off them. {Ed003's Note - back off tiger.....they aint for sale :-) }

I agree i think sending carruthers, Burke, seigrist there may help there e development

"he wants a chance with us"..The lad has had 3 years of chances with us
Mendax

You say tht but McClueless only played him when all our strikers were injured with defensive tactics.

MON played him as a winger 90% of the time.

Did he play under houlier? I dont remember seeing him.

Just watched the game live, I am confident in saying that it's the best performance in a long, long time. Lambert appears to know how to get Ireland to play and with Vlarr at the back the future must be bright! I

Good solid performance. Another sub standard from Bent though. She how he goes against Southampton and then he should be benched and let Gabby have a run.

Every 1 is lauding Holman, the guy is a free kick waiting to happen. Every team needs energy but not aimless running. He was also to blame for the goal.

He also played several very nice through balls, but you wouldn't of see that on match of the day. If Holman was running around aimlessly as you so erroneously stated, then we would have been over run in midfield like we were against everton

Strange that nearly every pundit I heard made him man of the match
Mendax

I streamed it live, all I saw were him committing fouls. He was bought to create, he is a free kick waiting to happen.

I didn't see all the match so I will have to trust your judgement on this one mate. What I would say is that after watching teams cut through us like a knife through butter last season, seeing someone run about and put his foot in for 90 minutes is fairly welcome.We are a long way off being Barcelona at the minute
Mendax

I also streamed it live and while he committed a few fouls he also contributed to transitional fazes of play, with the current system all our midfielders must show both sides to the game. I agree with Mendax. A strong presence is what was needed.
Villa till I fry

I watched the match and i did not see any through balls, ssaying that i also dont think he is a free kick waiting to happen. he broke the geordies midfield up and did not let them play

Holman Man of the Match against Swansea I for one love having someone wearing the claret and blue who is prepared to run all game and get stuck in, so what if he gives away a few freekicks.

what on earth is going on with bent he couldnt hit a barn door

What if it was open and just a great big hole?

Randy Lerner is a good owner he has done nothing to harm the villa apart from the mcleish slip up but even with him at the helm we were a hard team to beat and i can assure any of you so called supporters that if things arnt working out by January Lerner will do what is necessary to keep villa in the premier league it is in his interest to keep his company where the money keeps coming the man sits on a mountain of wealth he ent stupid. I for one will be right behind my team this season got some classy young players come in that are better than our youth/reserves so let the good times roll.

VILLA TILL I SNUFF IT!

I agree with this post more than it is possible to agree with something, i don't know whether you have stole that opinion from my own head cos I was worried I'm the only villa fan who is sensible mate. Ill stand behind the villa with you all day mate, thank lord mcgrath that there are some villa fans who don't whinge like baggies fans

I honestly feel optimistic under Lambert and feel we'll be a force again i also like the philosophy of who's playing in the best form starts with no gauranteed names on the team sheet

Not so long ago newcastle fans wanted to hang their chairman but he kept a tight ship and only spent what needed to be spent 2 seasons later they were in europe and fighting for forth spot,please have faith would you all rather he spent 100 mil and plunge the club into dept or builed for 2/3 seasons on a buget

I fully understand and share your sentiments exactly. The progress model is very slow but it's effective and it works. Newcastle, everton, stoke, arsenal to some extent, you wouldn't see those teams going down and thy built slowly, sold their best players but somehow managed to remain as good if not better as a team

Im sure premier league defenses will be having nightmares at the prospect at facing jorden bowery

Bowery has been bought in for the future , benteke, gabby, bent, weimann that's our strike force and it's better than last seasons. And im not being funny mr sarcastic but given the same amount of time on the pitch Bowery would most certainly score more than the one solitary goal that big emile got last season. I for one would be happy to see him come off the bench

If Lambert wanted a centre-mid, why didn't he go for huddelstone on loan instead of going for westwood? He's fairly young at 25 and a quality player!

Huddlestone is injury prone like Jenas is therefore lambert brought a player who was captain of his club at 21 which is an achievement and regarded as a player for the future

Huddlestone has a dodgy ankle

Because he's a liability, hence his disgraceful tackle, don't be fooled cos he scores from distance. Steven Gerard he is not. Immobile, lacking passion, often greedy with the shot, not the best range of passing and lastly the aforementioned tendency to throw his bulk at the oppositions ankles in order to win back a ball

Still no decent midfield playmaker brought in, no good buying strikers if you don't get the ball to them.
Looking mediocrity in the face again! UTV
