I mean there's plenty blame to go round but Lambert shoulders more than his fair share. Taking context and everything into account I think him, Kamara and Jones are the three worst we've had. Brian Little and Alan Ball Indeed. Other sub-standard managers are available

Literally ridiculous appointment but as others have said some dreadful errors from players cost us dearly.

of course it’s a big deal like when neil left us a squad that nearly got relegated from the championship. Now I wasn’t best happy when we appointed lambert but like I said ultimately it wasn’t his fault it was the club’s fault and I guess lambert told butland to throw the ball in his own net against Leicester and for Adam missing that pen against Brighton. Unlucky to concede a late goal against West Ham. In answer to your last paragraph he might scrape into the top 5 or 6 woohoo I mean there's plenty blame to go round but Lambert shoulders more than his fair share. Taking context and everything into account I think him, Kamara and Jones are the three worst we've had. Well I would add rowett in before him and also you are talking premiership the others were in the 2nd tier. Now I’m far from saying he was a good appointment and he has a share of the blame but some go ott about him on here

Paul Shambert, for me the most disastrous signing of the modern era (modern being the last 30 or so years) an utter fraud masquerading as manager, what were they thinking

Negative approach led us to be relegated. We only needed to win 2 of the three games we drew to be safe. A pathetic appointment and approach. Still, he knew all the players..... If the attacking approach was working, we wouldnt of needed to change manager the in the first place. If butland hadn't decided to throw the ball in his own net v Leicester, if crouch hadnt decided to boot the ball into the center of the pitch from the left back position in the dying mins v West Ham, if Adam had scored his penalty or the rebound v Brighton we'd of stayed up. His tactics weren't the problem. The players were. Fact is, the squad wasn't good enough. Lambert is just an easy Scapegoat. Lambert was no where near the club in the summer, which was when the so called senior pros have gone on record and said they knew they were in trouble. Who said anything about an attacking approach. Maybe show some ambition and try to score a goal? Lambert was brought in to keep us up and he failed. A terrible appointment.

Impossible to prove but reckon we would have spent more wisely and set up a far better first season and foundation in the Championship had he stayed. I'd give that about the same chance as us staying up if we'd kept Hughes and not appointed Lambert. We would have stayed up if Hughes had stayed.

In hindsight we probably should have give him a shot over Rowett.
Not suggesting we'd have been destined for promotion but we might not have spent so much on such shite players.

He had his limitations, but he was a reasonably good shout to keep us in the division and with an abysmal squad (worse than what we have now in fact!), he very nearly achieved that but for player errors.

I’ve said it before it wasn’t his fault. Hughes left us with a disorganised squad Disorganised and indisciplined if stories are to be believed of bad timekeeping, players doing the bare minimum when in for training and some players not turning up at all. Apparently PL wanted all players at training ground by 9am daily no exceptions. This allegedly caused discontent because of players living out of area including Crouch, who commuted daily by train and 9am meant a much earlier train.

Thought he was very unlucky in his time here. He set us up as hard to beat and try and nick a goal. He couldn't do anything else with the squad we had. We were getting twatted on a regular basis under Hughes. Pure individual errors cost him, that and I thought he should of brought bojan back on January too. Nice bloke though. We lost 7 of Hughes's last 10 games, which obviously had us bottom 3 of the form table. Even in that terrible run though, our xG was still 6th from bottom. Lambert's results also had us bottom of the form table (despite him drawing more games than he lost). Conversely from Hughes though, our defensive ability improved dramatically (we conceded less goals than Chelsea under Lambo!), but we just couldn't score and we were bottom three for xG. Looking back, you can say Lambo was overly negative but with the dire squad we had it was our only hope and it very nearly saved us, but for Butland's error against Leicester and Charlie's penalty miss.
