ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 October 2012
Villa lose for the fifth time in eight Premier League games under Paul Lambert and have now delivered their their worst top-flight start since 1986-87 when they were relegated under Billy McNeill.
Alex McLeish took 16 games to lose 5 in 2011-12.
In 2010-11 it was 14 games.
Any manager needs time but there needs to be an inclination of competence to build on, sadly even communication was beyond the monosyllabic Lambert and only the pride of the Villa faithful - who had largely demanded his appointment - kept the protests at bay, a situation that though understandable was the worst possible approach.
Nathan Baker suffers his 10th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 17th appearance (15 Starts) to make it W4 D3 L10 and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Ron Vlaar loses for the 5th time in a Villa shirt on his 9th appearance to make it W2 D2 L5 and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
