I think he is using one of the few things we have - experience - and hoping those players will pull him through. It’s natural and sensible. Equally he is aiming for us to be still in touch when we get a run of home games where wins are possible - again sensible. It’s grim stuff and displays the true lack of quality the squad has (those in charge should be ashamed) but it’s giving us a slim (very) chance. Our experienced players are the worse players we have. If he's doing that, he's even shitter than I thought. I just put it down to him not having much of a plan tbh. Like sticking with the 433 nonsense. Still picking Choupo. Bringing Fletcher back into the fold etc. Is there anyone who would make much of a difference if they were on the pitch? .....not really.

He’s just as clueless as Hughes. Big changes neeeed to happen in multiple areas. I wouldn't go that far, at least he isn't playing a striker at wing back and a three that don't have clue how to defend. No Sobhi, Crouch on early and Pieters in to move up Stafs? It’s brainless. Just like Hughes. The only thing Lambert has achieved is shoring up the defensive side and getting them fit. Everything else is exactly as bad if not baffling as Hughes’s tenure.

Can't believe this thread. Not Lamberts fault we are in this shit position. Three clean sheets in six games for a team that had conceded 50 goals. Blame Hughes, not Lambert.

He just has to. He's a pretty awful manager and isn't what we need if we stay up or go down. Massive changes are needed top to bottom and they have to include Lambert. Basically Lambert has made us slightly better defensively and we run around a little bit more. However, from an attacking perspective, we have absolutely no plan. We just hope that Shaqiri might sprinkle some magic. I'll back him and keep the faith but I'm not sure that he is the long-term answer.

It really wouldn't, we'd be sitting much better in the table and actually be quite happy given the situation. Both are on him anyway. Why wasn't the penalty taker set in stone before? And the Leicester goal was down to Choupo being a lazy twat and he shouldn't have started. They had got down that side a few times and he did nothing to stop it. The keeper not catching an easy ball and Adam fucking up the pen are on him okaaaaay The penalty taker should have been decided already, you're right but what happened next is the bigger issue, the manager can't accont for a player not shooting into an open net.

Jese, Ramadan? And playing them in a 4231? We're more balanced. Have more going forward. Still have a defence. Shaq has to play centrally. To not do that is sacrilege.

Some right Herberts on here. Lambert has inherited a unfit squad with a posse of shite strikers. Hes doing fine compared to where we were. Blame the last incumbent in his seat.

He’s average at best I’m a bit fed up with his upbeat dillusional post match banter he needs to be more realistic and get the likes of Ramadan on not Crouch who’s clearly past it now at this level

Every manager should be sacked after every game. It's the only way we'll progress to the next level.
Better still, sack them at half time just in case.

What a bunch of tossers there are out there. We are defending far better than we have in two and half seasons, we've lost just one game since Lambert joined us, if it hadn't been for a poor penalty taken by Adam and a cock up by Butland we'd have been 4 points better off (shit happens). Are you going to blame Lambert for those mistakes. The fact is we are now difficult to be beat which is always a great attribute but we need to improve up front, we do make chances but not enough. In my eyes Lambert is getting it right, questionable substitutions aside, but what can he do once they are on the pitch. I'm not a a Lambert fan but he took on a team that had lost its way, lost confidence and were actually embarrassing to watch at times. We may well go down but we are looking far more like a team and I'm hoping, like most supporters, we survive. If not, would I be happy with him managing us next season? Yes I'd give him a chance. Sadly we have fans who consistently complain and if we were not in this position would find somebody's back to climb on.

Spot on mate. Far too many idiots on here that just don't understand football one iota. He's been given an impossible job and had two fingers stuck up to him by not having a quality forward brought in. Impossible job my backside. We have a good starting XI and he's got nowhere near it with his insistence on an awful formation. Why didn't he push for a striker? It's not all on the board. The bloke just makes bizarre decisions and doesn't seem to learn. What good starting XI? We've got a decent back four and goalkeeper, but it's a complete bombsite beyond that, however you configure the individual parts. It's rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

He has nothing else to work with, we have no game changers anywhere, if its true Ramadan isn't showing it in training then thats down to player not the manager, he clearly wanted to change things and all he had was Crouch, I didn't agree with it but it needed changing, Jese showed why he wasn't considered when he came on. Lambert's hands are tied, if this was his team I'd be in full agreement but he has to work with the utter shite that was brought in by Hughes.

I can't see the point of getting rid if (by a miracle) we stay up, or go down. We'll just get someone poor in. Who would be interested in us now?

We do nothing well, whoever starts.

Butland Bauer Shawcross Indi either left back Cameron Allen or N'Diaye Ramadan Shaq Jese Diouf Is easily a mid table side if they're coached right.

He said at his interview ,he knows how to improve us and realise our weaknesses, well I don't see how's he as improved us so he must go simple You don't see how he's improved us? Ok we are still flooding goals in, we're losing by conceding four goals away every other week and we're not competitive. We're not doing as well as we would like but don't say we haven't improved because we have.
