Forget anything the board have or are telling you. Be your own man.
With Adam banned for 3 games (thank god), Pieters breaking curfew, Choupo and Cameron injured with no return date, Ngoy, Bojan & Imbula out on gardening leave, you have to roll the dice! We’re going down without so much as a whimper. Several members of the squad are all too ready to give opinions about other teams and players, probably simply to try to heighten their profile as they begin to ‘engineer’ their departure at the end of the season. Crouch has been a good servant but couldn’t burst a paper bag anymore and Johnson and Fletcher are so out of sorts and error prone they shouldn’t start again.We have 7 games left where there can be
NO PASSENGERS.
So play Butland but stop telling him he’s the best in the fekkin universe. Don’t upset him though because Haugaard is bloody useless
Play Bauer, Indi, Zouma and Stafylidis
Start Allen, Badou, Jesé and Ireland
And go with Berahino and Diouf up front
FFS gamble because Adam, Johnson, Fletcher, Pieters, Crouch, Shawcross and unfortunately Shaq are pretty much history!
Bench: Haugaard (sweet Jesus), Cameron, Shawcross, Shaq, Sobhi, Edwards,& Campbell
And don’t bother about upsetting any old guard egos - give these lads a fekkin run of games! ACT NOW!

If there's any small hope left it won't come from rolling the dice. Keep it solid at the back and hope to nick a lucky win at West Ham maybe a point elsewhere. Then Burnley looks a lot like Everton did.

But it doesn't need to be to stay in the league this year the survival total for 17th will be a record low. Of course we are still unlikely to achieve that I'm under no illusions. |

Personally our creative play has been abysmal and has resulted in very few goals from any of our so called strikers. I do know that to score goals you do at least need to be playing regularly. All you ever see on this forum is unsubstantiated dross about Berahino. Don't take your angst out on just one player. We are in the mess we are in because of several mistakes! |

Lambert has done a lot to steady the ship and has been pretty consistent in the defence and midfield he has sent out. As far as the forwards are concerned, he has tried several players in different combinations. None of them have worked very well, mainly because there isn't a way of making a balanced forward line out of the mish-mash left him by our previous 'manager'. Somehow, I believe that Lambert has to find a way of playing Shaq more centrally, but it's not easy to do.

I clearly said that every one of our forwards has not really set the world alight and basically it is unfair to make Berahino the person to scapegoat. If we want to score more goals we need two wide players with pace who will attack the box and dead ball lines and deliver crosses and not from 25 yards out. We then have to have at least two players attacking the six yard area. It hasn't happened for a long long time. |

There's loads on here who don't like Diouf......I do though, and he's still the best striker we have at the moment!!!

Other than his penalty, his 1 on 1 at Chelsea and his assist for Jese against Arsenal I genuinely can't remember anything he has done in a Stoke shirt. |

For the Arse game, the best we can hope for is that they put in one of their calamitous performances that they are renowned for. Against us, they've been ruthless year on year at home. Law of averages might suggest we're due one, but standard football rules suggest that as we're going down, we will utterly fall to pieces.
If Arse put in the kind of performance they did against Swansea with them two dreadful defensive errors etc, then why not? Maybe we can do it. Dropping Shaqiri won't win us the game, and nor will dropping Shawcross.

There's no evidence at all that Lambert is being told what to do by the board - and the last thing he should do is "roll the dice" i.e pick random side for the hell of it.
Up until the Everton game Lambert had been pretty consistent with his starting line up - then he seemed to roll the dice and the wheels fell off. He should have stuck to his convictions and got a consistent line up playing up to their potential - not swap and change for the sake of it. Hopefully he's learned his lesson on that one.

"Forget everything the board have told you" - how would that go down with your employers? A Championship Manager season with a team each to select the right candidate  In fairness most of the posters on this board have been spot on about our team and its players. Certainly more so than Lambert who claimed to know their capabilities well. Being older I'm up for a tournament of Casdon Soccer to prove my credentials. www.oldfootballgames.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=125852 |
