ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 29 December 2012
Villa are destroyed for the third consecutive game and have now conceded fifteen without scoring as Paul Lambert continues to plumb new depths without mitigation and with no reaction from an incompetent boardroom.
Villa concede their 13th, 14th and 15th goal in the last 3 games without reply under Paul Lambert.
Villa have now lost 10 of their 20 Premier League matches under Lambert.
Villa have now conceded three or more goals on seven occasions under Lambert.
Wigan had picked up only one point from a possible 18 before this game.
Lambert's predecessor, the much maligned Alex McLeish, presided over 14 Premier League defeats across the entire 38 game campaign last season, conceding 3 or more goals on 4 occasions.
Brad Guzan concedes his 70th goal in a Villa shirt on his 49th appearance (47 Starts) to make it W20 D10 L19, 70 Goals Conceded, 14 Clean Sheets, 1.69 Goals per League Game and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Matt Lowton suffers his 10th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 24th appearance to make it W8 D6 L10, 1 Goal and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
