Ive cooled down a bit since the Palace debacle. I don't think we should sack him and the table doesn't lie, we are in a better position than last year.... (although there are more worse teams than us in the league this season)
However, this is a key window for me. We need experience. The difference with Vlaar in the team is incredible and the midfield need the same thing a safe pair of hands who has seen it and done it at the highest level. If Lambert doesn't address that, then 4 windows into his Villa career I would be asking serious questions.
