Lets not rewrite history. Lambert was an abomination of a manager and our record was utterly shite after he took over.
It remains one of the worst decisions you can think of that he was appointed the manager, when literally no one at any level of professional football would employ him. Anyone involved in that decision needed to be sacked at the end of the season. But of course, they own the club so they were not, and that allowed them to follow up with a nearly man appointment which the CEO openly admitted himself.

Yes Lambert was an out of work journeyman who had never really achieved anything as a manager... He got Norwich promoted twice and kept them in the premier league. Something Rowett hasn't done Agreed entirely, but not "the next level" we were chasing by all accounts

Some of these comments are embarrassing.
Give him a chance at least. Judging from him antics on te touchline, he’s clearly not happy with what he has seen.
He may not be the answer, but he’s got to be given time. The squad he inherited was an absolute shambles.

It doesn’t really matter what Lambert has done in the past it’s what he did at Stoke that counts and that amounted to very little. With the players he had and the remaining fixtures we all expected a few more wins and to make a decent fight for survival. He delivered neither.
To assess Rowett after two games is ludicrous. We’ve not played well in our opening fixtures and we all expected better but it’s way too soon to judge how things will pan out. I agree things are not looking too rosy at the minute but as frustrating as it is we must give him a few more games and see who we get in on loan.
Leeds was awful, today a slight improvement but still poor, it’s a worry but no need to panic... just yet !

I never thought people would be re-writing history for Paul fucking Lambert, who's appointment by the club and performance whilst here was nothing short of embarrassing.

Plenty to question and criticise so far but we need to give him more than two games.

What a completely idiotic thread and some of the replies are even more idiotic.

Rowett can't be judged yet. That doesn't mean he's not open to criticism but we can't start saying we want him out of we should have kept Lambert.
The main issue is the complacency at board level and that of Mark Hughes whose mantra over the past 18 months was "we always start badly, nevermind" and "I don't do relegation". The whole club is riddled with self entitlement and complacency. We've been left behind, playing an archaic brand of football even Tony Pulis would be embarrassed by.

We’ve looked relatively the same throughout all 3 managers, which tells you it’s on the players. Our new transfers are the only ones that look decent, so Rowett seems to have a better eye for talent than Sparky or Lambo.

Was it not possible to tease Pulis away from Middlesborough ? Surely would have been our best bet. I was no fan of Pulis, but bloody hell, he's looking a whole lot better now, isn't he? Well, no one has ever explained to my satisfaction why we got rid of him in the first place after promotion, 5 years in the Prem, the only ever FA Cup Final in our history and our only ever wins in Europe. I'm fairly certain we'd still be in the Prem now had we not done so! But what do I know ??!!

I'm as pissed off as the next bloke for that crusty cumrag of a performance today and the what I saw at Leeds last week, but come on for Christ's sake. Two games.
He's had his hands tied with yet more shite transfer strategy, we still have gaping holes that have been completely ignored, we've had a World Cup interrupting our prep and players that are still to gel.
He will get this lot more organised and disciplined, it will take time, I'm confident it will click but it could be a few weeks yet.
The ten-game mark is the right time to start deciding what his worth is. We realistically can't leave it much later than that to start winning but two games is a bit premature.

Devoid of ideas, creativity, hope. Three wins in 20 games wasn't it? He'd stagnated beyond belief and killed off half the canvases appetite for nogger. He'd have taken us down for sure. BUT! I'm not going to start the ten trillionth Pulis debate!
