No harm in having another winger on the bench. I just see him as a like for like with what we have. You are an intelligent lad Rob, you know how difficult it is to turn a side that has been 'locked up' to stop a rot into one that can go the other way, especially with the dire options we have at the front end of the side. It's hard to do it at Conference level. With the way the board let this situation fester and develop we were always going to end up in this situation even if they spent big in January, which they didn't. They are 100% to blame. I don’t disagree with that mate, what I find bizarre is the notion that Lambert seemingly should be completely devoid of scrutiny or accountability for the games he’s currently in charge of. Mark Hughes didn’t make him put two left backs on yesterday. We are running out of games and we’ve completely blown our winnable run. Lambert didn’t get us into this mess, but he hasn’t really helped either. Great job sorting the defence out, needed doing. But surely to God we have to have to actually try and beat somebody? I don't think he's beyond scrutiny at all, winning one and losing one out of six with this lot is about 6/10 in my view. The previous incumbent (whose true legacy gets shittier with every passing day) left us with a desperate need for fitness and organisation and he's ticked those boxes pretty well and pretty quickly. Of course we need a bit more now, the margin for error has all but gone, Everton, West Ham, Burnley and Palace simply has to produce 9 points and we need a crumb or two from elsewhere or a shit or bust last day game against Swansea. Lambert is what he is. What were people really expecting?

The one game out of 6 where I think Lambert under performed was Watford at home - where I said at the time his Plan A was to boot it long and his plan B was to use a bigger hammer (IIRC). Even then you look at the bench and think "Christ, he hasn't got a lot to use to change this has he?". The real nub of this argument is Shaqiri - for all of his good recent attacking form we are essentially lumping our entire survival on his shoulders. Which is why he needs to stop denying himself options mate. Whatever you think of Jese and Sobhi they have the potential to change a game that Johnson and Fletcher don’t. That’s what I object to - the unnecessary self-limiting of our chances through his selections and subs. If he knew our squad so well, why is he at pains to restrict already meagre pickings? We need a central midfield option on the bench. Johnson is an odd one. We're nit picking here. We really are. We're arguing the toss over Jese and Ramadan - both of which IMO are desperately poor options - one with a suspect attitude and temperament and the other who is a grafter and not a lot more. This club has done nothing but appoint pragmatist manager's since it came back, even the continental QSF we were linked to is a pragmatist that shit himself when Watford went on the slide - ripped all creativity out of the side and packed it full of grafters, despite having two centre forwards WAY better than anything we have currently. They more than most (we as fans certainly do) should know that without a stardust player or two the pragmatist football manager produces results and football like this. Shaqiri is playing well under Lambert and that proves that should he have a number of those types of options in his squad that he can both manage them mentally and get them performing on the pitch. We just don't have enough of them in the squad.

If we stay up, it will be down to Lambert and there is no way he should be sacked, but allowed to develop the team. We are less likely to attract the likes of Arni, Shaq, and Bojan with PL at the helm, but he is more likely to sign sound characters with some grit and determination. If we are relegated, who is going to come to Stoke in the Championship? Looking at his record, could be he is more likely to leave us than we sack him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Lambert

It isn’t nitpicking to say you need some potential game changers on the bench when you’re fighting for your life, or to say that in a crucial six pointer that’s very much there for the taking there are options beyond shoehorning another defender in there at the earliest possible opportunity.

Trust me, I did the research.

Trust me, I did the research. The Norwich in league 1 and the championship maybe. The Norwich in the premier league could barely muster a shot away from home and relied on one player to produce something special to nick them a 1-0 win. Norwich fans did like Lambert though I agree. I have some good friends who are Norwich fans and they said we'd got an excellent manager on the day we appointed him.

Ramadan is a good grafter and I like him. I don't think he offers more than any other player we have going forwards, which is the real problem here isn't it? Our only genuine bona fide creative outlet in the side is Shaqiri and Lambert has him firing, at least, to a level that has only been seen in fleeting appearances in his 4 years here thus far. I find it a shame that the club can't provide more for the manager.

The previous incumbent (whose true legacy gets shittier with every passing day) left us with a desperate need for fitness and organisation and he's ticked those boxes pretty well and pretty quickly. Of course we need a bit more now, the margin for error has all but gone, Everton, West Ham, Burnley and Palace simply has to produce 9 points and we need a crumb or two from elsewhere or a shit or bust last day game against Swansea. Lambert is what he is. What were people really expecting? He is Pulis without the cap. Coates must be really pleased. It is dire to watch and he is producing exactly what I feared. Meanwhile the bloke at Swansea with a poorer squad is ripping up trees. Blame is again at the boards door. No doubt we will be stuck with him in hoofball mid table, mind numbing Championship football next year You are not wrong. This is not a plug for Pulis, which I was accused of on another thread, but PL's tactics are clearly based on keep a clean sheet and hope to sneak a goal or two hitting on the break and hitting long passes over the MF. It's ugly and won't win anything but it is a good way of avoiding relegation by steadily picking up points. Had we been doing this in December and against Newcastle with a fitter squad we could have avoided defeats and be 3 places higher. The team is clearly working a lot harder now and it suits Allen and Shaq and the defenders. It clearly doesn't suit Choupo working hard in the week as he looks shagged out by Saturday. Diouf is too hyped up and needs to calm down a bit and he would play better. Badou isn't yet lasting 90 mins but he is improving each game. If the players keep working at it, we will not only keep getting clean sheets we will start to sneak some goals and get the odd unexpected win.

Yet he still delivered better results against the same opposition than Lambert has managed...and Lambert hasn't had to use Tymon, Edwards, Wimmer or Fletcher in the process. Why is there a clear unwillingness to observe these simple facts? Lambert hasn't done a good job so far. He's done a terrible job and we have gone backwards even from where the previous useless twat left us.

It just wasn't Lambert in charge when we produced our best display since Hughes has gone. We showed a great balance at Old Trafford.
