But Lambert is not angry with Holman and told the Birmingham Mail: “I’ve had a good sbo login chat with him.

“He is an experienced player and has done really fine since he’s been here.

“You don’t want people to sit and be happy sbo login when they are not in the side, you want them to be unhappy.

“He couldn’t get in because Charles (N’Zogbia) was playing extremely well. I’ve got to pick a team that can win a sbo login game.”

Lambert also took the opportunity to praise young midfielder Ashley Westwood, who signed from Crewe last sbo login summer and has enjoyed a successful first campaign at Villa Park.

“Players like Christian Benteke sbo login get all the headlines and I suppose a lot of the work Ashley does goes unnoticed by some, but not by me.
