5. Must win game but he made poor subs and we just seemed lethargic throughout and he keeps picking Diouf who was atrocious once again.

Good starting line up. Went at it from the off with first 3 shots on target albeit easily saved by Hart. Lots of energy too.
After half time though it started to go wrong with the Cameron substitution. Bringing Cameron on almost cost us the game and him a red card. He was poor and it unsettled the balance and energy in the side. He redeemed himself with crouch and the cameo appearance by Ireland was neither here nor there.
What it did show time and time again was how badly we need a finisher. We created plenty of chances but don't have anyone to bury them and that's not Lamberts fault.

Good starting line up. Good start to the game with excellent tempo. Good away performance for an hour before nerves kicked in.
Very sensible to remove his two wide men after two tough recent games v Arsenal and Tottenham, saving vital energy for the home game on Sunday. Good squad management.

Trying his best with inexcusably poor striker resources at his disposal. That said, his use of subs after we scored, and the all to familiar tactic of sitting back and inviting pressure bit us on the arse once again.
8 before we scored
4 after we scored
6 in total

Got lucky with our goal.
PLAY. 2. UP. TOP.
long balls up to shaqiri - failure to adapt to them doubling up on our wingers.
Flooded in midfeild.
No outlet.
a generous 4...

Whatever i didn't agree with (mostly Bauer going off), his gameplan was minutes away from working and we were unlucky not to win in the end.
Can't win when we play well and can't win when we don't. Hallmark of relegation, but Lambert doesn't take the blame for this IMO.

Strange subs in Cameron and Ireland
A genuine 50/50 match so 5

3. How many times has he tried the 'keep it tight and nick one' approach and failed now? Bringing Cameron on was a new low. Another 'must win' game passes by - Championship, here we come...

It happens anyway and we lose/draw. 2.Without 2 up top your striker is going to be isolated and the widemen dont put crosses in SO 3. If you play 2 up top, it actually fits the 'lump it up system'

Team is about the best it coukd be and didn't do much wrong.
We were lucky to be leading. Unlucky not to win.
Diouf is no longer a footballer.

7 - In normal circumstances wasn't a bad result. But all this must win stuff is impossible when you don't have any strikers.

Must win game and we had 3 holding midfielders and one winger on the pitch.
Instead of telling the lads to play it out as calmly as possible from the back with a lead or at least pop it in the channels, it instead looked like we resorted to punting it hopefully and got what we deserved as we failed to defend yet another ball coming into the box. I think his approach was fine for the first half but in the second we really needed to be the ones controlling the game. Finally to lose a 6th point from a winning position in 11 games is testament to his lack of game management skills.
We are where we deserve to be.

None of our strikers or wingers are those things. The best we can do is stick as many creative players on the pitch behind Diouf as possible. Shaq Ireland Choupo Diouf Is probably the best we have. Maybe Bauer for Choupo but i don't know what he's like on the left.

Should have started with Crouch.
Bringing Cameron on for Ramadan was just bizarre.

The best we looked was the last home game vs spurs when we had players running into the box, that's the only shred of guts i've seen from Lambert.

6.5 we almost did the job but he is in danger of having almost as a middle name the way things are going .
Again he set the team out well and we did a decent job .
I don't agree with subbing Bauer and Cameron really struggled to cope with the pace of the game .
He has to depart from one up front now . None of our strikers are good enough for that role .
As much as I admire a lot of what he is doing he is in a results business and it just ain't happening, needs to in the next game at least .

Then we hoof it to Crouch, he heads it on the halfway line, either to no-one, or to Diouf, who can't create anything. You get players like shaq as far forward as possible and surround the striker (Diouf) with what little creativity we have. That's our only option.
