Not a bad thing IMO, gives us a chance to start preparations for next season early, rather than chase an illusion which will see Villa promoted.
Not a bad first season in management for Lampard, for a rookie he has done as well if not better than Rowatt and certainly no worse than other experienced managers we have had.
Hopefully with some wise permanent signings and 2 or 3 good loans we can make a decent challenge for promotion next year.
