Well a spirited second half performances can not hide what is happening to the club.

That my friends is relegation.

Pure and simple, look at the last lot of games, lost back to back at home Wigan, Southampton and Newcastle and in anyone’s book that is relegation. Forget how well they played second half, we have to remember Newcastle were only just above us. Forget the manager, team selection and signings, nothing can stop relegation now apart from spending massive money and we will not.

You can moan all you like about Lambert and Lerner but the situation is now clear and precise for every fan. It is stark, the players are simply not good enough. In the Premier league a midfield of simply Bannan and Westwood is not even Championship quality.

Is anyone being fooled now ? Is Lambert being fooled, I think not. OK lets not play Bent again, sell him if anyone really wants him but Weimann and Benteke MUST always start for sure. Then what then 442 every game ? is there any other choice ?

Dark dark days for all Villa fans and no light out there.
