Villa fans seem a little dispirited, they have Newcastle (a) followed by Swnasea (h)

Jut back from VP.

I have probably been to every opening home game of the season in the last 25 years and that has to be one of the worst home season openers and starting elevens I have seen.

I don't put any of the blame for that at Lamberts door it is squarely at Lerners.

Quite simply a lack of investment has seem us having to field a team full of players who have come through the ranks but who just aren't good enough especially when you consider the senior players around them aren't top quality either. That is not their fault but it is a sad fact. Herd, Bannan, Delfouneso, Clark, Baker, Weimann, Lichaj should not be making up 50% of our side.

Two years of selling of our best players, flogging off some decent solid squad players, and not replacing them with anything like the same quality has inevitably led us to where we now are. Relegation fodder.

Without major investment and 4 or 5 quality signing by the end of the week then we are facing relegation.

The reckless way Randy has gone about trying to balance the books over the last two years and the incompetence and Faulkner have shown is a disgrace.
