Stafy was excellent against Leicester and started well today. How the fuck anyone could consider that replacing a striker with a left back which resulted in the left back moving to left midfield which resulted in left midfielder moving to centre forward which later resulted in a striker coming on for the left midfielder who started as a left back before the original left midfielder was subbed. And we thought Hughes made odd substitutions! It was madness - he is Pulis part two

Lambert is old school. just like Coates
A nice partnership for a mid table Championship team, at best

It's just so hard to see us scoring enough goals to get the job done. Lambert's chosen to move bodies behind the ball, but it's made us even less of a threat going forward. Our 'expected goals' numbers in the Lambert era are alarming. It's basically just low percentage Shaqiri 20-yarders or nothing. That's clearly not a sustainable way of winning games. Can we chisel out 3 win against Big Sam, Hodgson and Dyche? It just seems a bit fanciful. twitter.com/caley_graphics?lang=enAll that backs up what we are watching. It is very painful, hoofball which may well of served us in points terms over a season but not where we find ourselves now. Lambert is another has been that Coates has employed. The game has moved on and Coates just not seem to get it Just look at the bloke at Swansea who on paper do not have the squad we have - breath of fresh air No doubt Lambert will be in charge next year in the Championship and we will play hard to watch mid table hoofball and then in two years Coates will wonder why he is sitting in a half filled stadium week in week out

We miss the old Bojan pre injury - the one post injury cant get a game - great memories but that is all
Imbula is an expensive mistake by anyone who takes him - even for a fiver

Then why quote/respond to me if it does not annoy you? Very strange Do you only respond to people when you’re annoyed then? Actually don’t answer that you’re permanently annoyed..... How do you know? I am actually damn happy with my life but thanks for caring to ask

Shocking management as is Campbell - now too good for U23's and not good enough for 1st team = no game this weekend
No Sobhi but two left backs on the pitch at the same time and Fletcher, Johnson taking air on the bench = madness

In terms of defense - 100% In terms of attack, I cant believe it but we are actually worse Hoofball is back - Lambert learnt a lot in Germany watching football, like running through some mini cones before each half Shocking football on show You think we’re down. You’re not happy with what’s on offer. You go to every game. You’re generally pissed off with the current situation. We get it...... Good - well done for reading and comprehending

Come on suffolk we need more than that for a report! Fans were non stop! Fans were awesome first half but as the second half unfolded so did the vocal support - which is understandable considering that display

People suggesting that it was a good point were probably Hughes in fans too. Obviously they don't actually pay and watch the games in the flesh. We are wank. Spot on

He turned us down or didn't you notice? You've missed the point though. He did but his agent came to us in the first instance. It shows we can be attractive. Then something changed, I wouldn't be impressed dealing with Scholes either. Lambert was high up our list from the off. That shows that our boards ambition is the same as these people who still think we're little old Stoke. We're not. That attitude has to fuck off. Dunna worry - we will be back to little old Stoke next season in the Championship and the cap will fit and we will get the morons saying it is better with the true fans in a half empty stadium, still spouting their spew about what do you expect, get behind the boys and stop slagging the manager or the board The mistakes are there for everyone to see but some refuse to I support them home and away but retain my right to say it as I see it once the final whistle has blown. Lambert 6 months ago would have been laughed off by pretty much everyone. The bench today was an indictment of where we are - down to the board. Now we have a promising striker who gets dropped but does not feature in the U23's either - see Shenton 2 years ago Shocking all around

We didn’t even look like we wanted 3 points that was the pathetic part
Butland distribution was shocking
Choppy should not be starting
The 1st sub was beyond bizarre.
With our GD that is another point. We needed all 3
Under normal circumstances Lamberts points tally would be ok but not under these circumstances
Boring hoofball

Butland is not shit but since his injury he isn't as good as he was sadly. Still a very good keeper but his weaknesses are coming for crosses and his distribution

It seemed to me, watching live in the pub, that the substitutions were as much to blame for the chaos in the last 20 minutes as Jack's howler in letting them back into the game. Why did Bruno go off, was he injured? Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I haven't had time today to trawl every thread. Looked like it as he went straight down the tunnel

Blimey I didn't realise how close they came at the end - we were all over the show. Damn lucky we got a point which is sad And Charlie, even in the brief highlights - should not even be on the bench for the rest of the season I suggest you to watch a full game then. I did yesterday in the stands thanks

Did you also realise how close Leicester were to going 2 -0 down- but that wouldn't quite fit "damn lucky" would it? When did that happen? Yep - cant recall another ooh that was a goal shout that sadly hit the bar, post, cleared off the line moment I can remember some good breaks with a woeful final pass

Cameron should only play in away games, we need more creativity in home games, move Shaquiri into the middle and get Ramadan on. Agree but Sobhi clearly is not flavour of the month for whatever reason. New manager same old blind logic of playing Shaq in the wrong position

Is that possible with our remaining fixtures? I actually think so now after seeing the Leicester game! Southampton 1-3p Man C 0p Everton 3p Arsenal 0p Tottenham 0p West Ham 1-3p Burnley 3p Lpool 0p Palace 3p Swansea 1-3p If I'm right it will mean 12-14 points which should keep us up! I will go home and away and support them but I am resigned to us going down The last 5 games were really where we needed to pick up at least 4 or 5 more points than we did

The OP is saying Lambert's approach will lead to relegation, but how can Adam's peno or 'Butland fingers' yestdee be blamed on Lambert's approach? You give Adam that peno another ten times & he'll score it nine or ten times, you fire that cross in at Butland another ten times & he'll easily catch it ten times. They were two individual mistakes which cost us 4pts, nothing to do with Lambert's approach to games. The peno shows sloppy planning. It should have been set in stone who takes it. And Adam shouldn't be playing anyway. The Butland one I think is definitely on Lambert. It came from Choupo still being on the pitch. He shouldn't have started anyway and then he should have been subbed. Take Choupo off and you just might have a winger who tracks his man. That's on Lambert. And then we come to Butland. Has his head been right this season? I don't think it has. But in both games anyway Lambert's approach did harm us. We set up negatively in both. We were total shite against Brighton. And it would have been lucky to win, we were pretty lucky to draw. And yesterday his subs killed us. Indeed. I am not sure you can blame the manager for the goal as that was a regulation save, but I do agree re Choupo - Lord knows what Sobhi has done? But to see Adam again is beyond belief Lambert's approach would see us safe if we had more games as I have said elsewhere. but given where we find ourselves it aint going to work

And if my Brother had a fanny he'd be my sister. Completely irrelevant. So you don't think we'd have an extra two points to our name had Adam scored that penalty? The facts are we didn't. Points given our situation are all that matters now

Too little too late, too few 'o's! I think his approach would have worked in the sense of just about keeping us up over the course of the season as a whole. We desperately need some 3 point hauls though. Where are we now? 1 win in the last 9 including some real easy ones. Neither the Adam penalty last week and Jack's brain slip this week were not his fault but they have cost us 3 precious points. I hope he's not an unlucky manager too because that's when you really know the game is well and truly up. Agree to little o's same as our team

If Lambert was given a few games before then maybe his approach would have seen us in safety in mid table But his approach right now, as well intentioned as it is looks like relegation The manager is making some mistakes, especially around subs and playing Choppy, but he is dealing with cards he has. His approach may well have worked with more time, but it looks precarious to say the least right now The board sleep walked in to this If Charlie Adam had put that penalty away and Jack Butland not made a mess of a simple cross today, Lambert would be sitting on 3 wins from his first 5 games and we'd be pretty well placed on 30 points. Bunch of If's though. They did not arise so I don't get your point
