Aston Villa coach Paul Lambert looks to bring Christian Benteke back into his side after 1-1 draw with Swansea Randy Lerner has not made an appearance for a game at Villa Park this season but Lambert believes the club's American owner will stay focused on the long-term vision. Last year Randy said this would be my toughest year ever in football management. He never told me the second one was still going be hard," said Lambert. We've had to go right back and bring the wage structure down but if I can get through the first season I can get through anything. Randy has supported me all the way and believe it or not, I'm enjoying it. Does Randy enjoy it? I don't know, he's probably like everybody on a rollercoaster, throwing up here and there. He's been in sport for god knows how long, so he understands. This was another difficult afternoon for Villa, despite Gabriel Agbonlahor's seventh-minute opener, and they have ended 2013 with only five league wins at home. Swansea City dominated after falling behind but had only Roland Lamah's first goal in England to show for their hogging of the ball. Michael Laudrup, the Swansea manager, is determined to sign another forward next month to ease his own fears of getting sucked into trouble. "With Michu and Nathan Dyer out injured it is obvious we need a striker because with a couple more injuries I would have to play," he said. Our top scorer in the Premier League is own goal. He's a good player, if we could sign him and score another five or 10 for the season it's not bad.
