"but we will go their (sic) to win, which is the way I approach every game"
That's not gone well then...

Maybe its just me but it feels all so predictable and staid
'Hope' what little we had seems to have come and gone - Manager has changed, transfer window closed and results not really improved.
I am actually going to Arsenal on Sunday as it being a long weekend and I live not too far away. I am looking forward to a few beers in central London and that's about it - I hate that club with a passion, their fans are utter wankers and the ground is soulless.
I wonder if the players will also lapse back into complacency too and we will come away without a spanking. Heart believes we can win, head says we will lose by at least 3.

Mentions luck or the lack of it on two separate occasions.
Just wreaks of a bloke who is totally bereft of ideas.
We need to sack him now, if we are to stand ANY chance at all of putting up a fight for survival over the next seven games.
I like the bloke but he's just NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

His claim that he goes into every game trying to win is just not true, is it?

Well if you class 11 men behind the ball at every opportunity, starting with 37 year old past it strikers and not including one of your best wingers & center midfielders aren't even in the squad it doesn't seem he's speaking honestly.

I imagined an arse press as some sort of medieval torture device akin to the rack that he is putting the likes of Berahinogoals, Wimper, Mr Ambition and the Dundonian Destroyer on by way of punishment.

Just think, if we sack him now we could appoint Graham Alexander by the time we play Spurs.

Fail to understand the amount of flak Lambert is getting for trying to make the best out of a situation not of his making. Ok you might disagree with a few player selections but there really isn’t a lot to choose from and nothing that would really have made any significant difference to our fate. We are copping the consequences for long term mismanagement and the best we can do is to get behind the current bloke and see if some totally bizarre set of occurances result in us surviving relegation. Further assessment / recriminations might aswell wait until our destination is confirmed.

Playing to win requires the scoring of goals Mr Lambert
Scoring goals requires chances to be made
Making chances requires possession of the football and players to get up in support of the lone attacker

The squad was weak to start with and has got worse as the season has progressed. Ironically the only aspect of it that had any sort of strength was the defence but injuries and Hughes’ tactical genius even managed to turn that into a dogs dinner. This is a shambles that has been long in the making and to expect an instantaneous turn around with the quality of player we have was, I’m afraid, wishful thinking.

But it's still not a relegation squad, especially with the plethora of dross in the division this year. Are you seriously telling me that the performances against Southampton, Bournemouth, Everton, Watford etc were the pinnacle of what our players are capable of?

Lambert is without doubt out of his depth at this level but we knew that when our board appointed him, the reason we are in such a fuckin mess is down to the board and in particular Mark and his team of fraudsters, this relegation is we and truly down to them Lambert is just the fall guy/patsy who will have it on his CV. Those in charge of the club should publically apologies for the balls up they have made and lambast Mark and his team publically for the state of the squad.

I firmly believe we are one of the 3 worst teams in this division so I’m not suprised by poor performances against anyone anytime any place ! Lambert has played the one card he had - get the defence organised and playing better but the cupboard is bare in terms of anything else with this collection of players. We are now in the realms of getting some ridiculous bouts of good fortune, oppositions imploding or straight forward miracles none of which are going to be influenced by the poor sap in the managers chair right now.

Whoever the manager is, it is impossible to put together a viable forward line from the players he has available.

He's claimed to have impressed the board in his interview with his knowledge of the squad and our weaknesses and knew how to improve us. He then failed to convince the board to sign any attacking players in the January transfer window leaving us with Crouch, Diouf & Berahino to choose from up front whilst relying on Choupo, Jese & Ramadan to provide a creative assistance to Shaq. He's a fucking yes man who is just happy to be given another job at this level and wont ruffle any feather at board level. The board bottled it big time with his appointment because any decent manager would've demanded big money to be spent on the attacking side of this squad.

This is a shambles that has been long in the making and to expect an instantaneous turn around with the quality of player we have was, I’m afraid, wishful thinking. Which is why if Lambert was worth his wages, should've moved heaven and earth in January to persuade the board to go out and spend money on a centre forward and another winger / attacking midfielder. He didn't, because he doesn't want to upset the apple cart that had so kindly plucked him out of the wilderness. It fucking stinks from top to bottom and we the fans are the ones that have to suffer. The board have well and truly fucked it, just like they did 20 years ago. The parallels with 97/98 are uncanny and worst of all COULD ALL HAVE BEEN AVOIDED if it wasn't for our arrogant, fucking tight as fuck board burying their bastard heads in the sand thinking everything would be ok.

I dunna buy this shoring up the defence crap either. Like he’s some sort of defensive guru. We’ve played a 9-0-1 formation for long periods since he’s been here and we’ve still conceded daft goals. I’m not usually one to get on the back of managers - and he has been left with a dire situation - but fuckinell he’s pissing me off at the moment

If we end up getting relegated "BOTH" Hughes and Lambert will have played their part, they've both had half a season each!!! Lambert's had enough time and winnable games to get us out of this mess!!!
