First Holtby and it now seems Lambert was stopped by Lerner from signing Gareth Barry who according to Charlie Nicholas wanted to and still wants to rejoin Villa

We have won just 2 of the 9 Premier League meetings against Palace

4 league meetings Lambert 10 Points Hughton - 1 Point Plus Lambert has a cup win aswell

Biggest difference from last season is the away form against teams in the bottom half. But the home form is very similar

We are 10th based on form for the last 5 games. We are poor but that is why we are not going down

Looks like the loser of Fulham and Norwich will be relegated with Cardiff and Sunderland

The football between August and December of this season is in no way comparible to the football between February and May of last season Luke. We did ok and the results where good the best we have had all season, we beat Arsenal. Man City and Southampton and maybe should of got something vs Liverpool and Chelsea. The first 3 games where as good if not better than last season

This image ask alot of questions. Mainly what happened to the football between Febuary and December

Lambert and the players have shown what we can do Between 1st February 2013 and 4th December 2013 we picked up 40 points from 28 games, with 11 wins. what has happened to that football

Great. Slightly undone by the fact that the reason we've got so many shit players is that Lambert's bought most of them. If they're pitiful, it's bacause Lambert has spent £6m on two godawful left backs, and lots of other players who it's blindingly obvious are never going to be good enough. O'Neill blew tens of millions on poor players

Lambert will be replaced by another Lambert. The board s policy dictates managerial appointments, The last 2 appointments show that. Clubs like Swansea and Everton hire managers to play passing football, Villa hire managers to reduce costs

Mat Kendrick confirms Lambert is very unlikely to get sacked unless we go down and he is doing what the board want, The boards aim is to survive aswell as reducing spending. That is who you need to be asking questions about before Lambert

Look at this way It will cost Lerner less money to back Lambert in the summer and give him money, compared to sacking him. paying him off and the staff, then having to give the new man alot more money to overhaul ther squad his way

The net spend the last 4 seasons is less than £5 million. no wonder we have not improved. Lambert has done pretty much the same as Houllier and McLiesh did combined

Benteke, Weimann, Agbonlahor 2012/2013: 82 appearances in total, 35 league goals 2013/2014: 74 appearances in total, 16 league goals 19 goals from our front 3. That is the difference between losing and drawing

19 points in 11 games against the current bottom 6

40/1 to be relegated suggests otherwise

We have a decent squad we just need a 2 or 3 good players in certain positions to help develop a style, another dimension you can say Even though the football is similar in terms off direct on the counter we had an identity under O'Neill we had some good players in key positions who own there own could win games we just have 1 or 2 now

Lambert took control of a rapidly sinking ship and was not given the resources needed to halt it, we will not finish higher than 10th for the foreseeable future unless a lot changes

Look at last season what has changed

No way has Lambert spent £22m net, it's way more. Can't think of any significant sales in the past two seasons. Off the top of my head he's signed Benteke (£7m) Okore (£5m) Kozak (£7m) Bennett (£3m) Vlaar (£4m) Luna (£1.5m) Lowton (£3m) Tonev (£2m) Prove me wrong by all means, but in my opinion he's had enough money to produce better. The home form on its own is reason to sack him No the £22 million is the net spend of Houllier. McLeish and Lambert, Lerner gave Lambert just 11 players and £20 million a season. How can you improve a team with that. Unlike Houllier and McLeish. Lambert has just the 1 sellable asset to raise money and he cannot even sell him now

Under O'Neill - Net Spend £66 million. Post MON - Net Spend £22 million You wonder why it has been 4 relegation battles

38 wins in 148 games. Lambert is not he problem the owner is. he has been the only consent the last 4 seasons

We have taken 8 points from 5 games against the current bottom 3
