I know I will get slated for this but it’s clear he knows how to organise defensively and he has experience of taking a club up from the championship which is difficult to do. If he can bring in some of his own players that will work and fight in the championship then we might have a chance of doing well. The board have to back him in the summer because it’s going to be a rough one. Survive first season then push on the next season. It isn’t lamberts fault he has inherited a shambles left by mark Hughes and the stoke board. There are a lot of positives since he’s been here with what he’s had to work with.

He has the charisma of a toad and the voice to go with it.
Leaders are BORN not made and he is no leader.

I don't want him,but we are fucking stuck with him for another 2 years.
Someone should kick Coates in the bollox for letting it happen.

You don't want us to score any goals then?

I'm very much 50/50 but for other reasons than on the pitch.
We could sack him tomorrow but there is a serious nagging in my mind about replacing him.
The current owners appointed Lambert and there are no guarantees or even pointers that they will make a popular and progressive appointment, when all evidence suggests they won't.
I'm very nervous about the level of finance for transfers going into next season. With that in mind you need someone with a decent track record in the league below with little finance.
You are in Mick McCarthy territory when you factor in the type of manager our board go for.
I hate the cliche "Be careful what you wish for" but it rings true and rings very loud going into next season in the Championship.

Still need to see more but today was the best shape and tactical plan we have had for a long time. Early press worked well and finally Shaq was given his freedom . Playing Bruno means we are better balanced and he won a number of good interceptions. I would be looking to bring Choupo back when fit and leave out Johnson for home games after Spurs but this team seems ideal for away games.

Why? Has a manager never had his contract terminated? Why give him a 2.5 year contract if you’re going to get rid after six months? Because no one else would take the job? Because you thought he was better than he is? Personally I think he deserves a full season, but the point is we are not “stuck with him”. We can terminate his contract at any time. |

I'd happily keep him as a No2 behind someone who IS a natural leader and motivator and able to communicate in public. As long as he vows never to play Adam again and I mean NEVER.

Moyes and Hughes took their current jobs on a short term deal, why wouldn’t Lambert, who couldn’t believe his luck at getting another prem job, do the same? |

It takes years and years to get to the top league of English football and in a blink of an eye we're on brink of relegation and talking about Mick McCarthy as a potential manager.... I'm going for a lie down.

The board have some seriously big decisions to make over the summer. Bigger than replacing the manager, they have to decide do they want to try and get in the prem again or are they happy plodding along in the championship. To come back up is going to take some huge investment of money and to be honest, outside looking in I don’t feel that the board have the heart for it judging by the last 12 months.

Just think McCarthy's a good, solid manager who doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's a blunt Yorkshireman who's a pragmatist. There'd be loads I'd want ahead of him, but he's done well at Ipswich given he's had a bottom third budget with an owner who doesn't give a crap. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with Mick It's very hard to judge Lambert. I was convinced in January that a half-decent appointment would keep us up, and I do kind of still believe that for all the hand he was dealt was poor. It looked a barmy appointment then, and it still does now. 4 goals in 8 games says it all. |

I’m excluding Man Utd away, Lamberts 9 games in charge read
P9 W1 D4 L4 F6 A11
Extrapolate that over a season and it would read
P38 W5 D17 L16 F25 A47
32pts -22 GD
Keep him?..... No thanks.

It looked a barmy appointment then, and it still does now. 4 goals in 8 games says it all. I think that can be explained away by the fact that our forward options are so limited to a bloke that has had huge success with a proper target man type, something we don't have which begs two questions. 1. Why appoint a bloke that needs one when you don't have one in your squad? 2. If you do appoint him then why do you not buy him one to give him the best chance of succeeding? This is Hughes's squad and even the new signings are his, which begs other worrying questions. I think he has made us fitter, more aggressive and has made us more organised. I really don't know where we go from here. |
