ON THIS DAY
Paul Lambert’s Villa lose their tenth game in twenty two Premier League matches and have now failed to score in thirteen and won just two home games in eleven.
Since the start of 2013-14 Paul Lambert had led Villa to thirty defeats in sixty League matches winning just fifteen including eight in thirty home fixtures.
Of his total of 111 games in charge, Lambert had lost 53.
Yet those appalling figures are enough for an abject leadership to issue a counter-productive vote of confidence in Lambert.
Almost a year since the unhelpful statements of Paul Faulkner in defending Lambert, his successor, Tom Fox, issues a similar reality bending missive.
Rather than reassure there was a plan in place and there was a shared concern for the predicament Villa were in, the nonchalant commentary reinforced a view of a club sleepwalking to inevitable relegation.
Meanwhile, winger Carles Gil made his Villa debut aged 22 after joining from Valencia CF for a fee of £3,780,000 earlier this month.
