Aston Villa midfielder Ashley Westwood says the players are enjoying manager Paul Lambert's new system.

While supporters have questioned the 'slow and sideways' approach and slammed into Lambert and his team for their chronic lack of goals, the players are confident that a shift in fortune is just around the corner.

Westwood said: "The way we've been playing is really enjoyable.

"We're keeping the ball and moving teams around the way that they used to do to us.

"We feel like we are progressing.

"It's just about being patient now."
