Lambert believes Villa’s young brigade will deliver

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert will continue to put the accent mainly on youth as he challenged his players to bounce back from the “hurt” of three successive heavy defeats at Swansea today (tues) .

Villa have conceded 15 goals in losing to Chelsea, Tottenham and Wigan and are only one point above the Barclays Premier League bottom three.

Lambert splashed out nearly £23 million last summer on rebuilding the squad after two successive battles against relegation.
