Maybe a manager falling out with some of the current playing staff will be a good thing. If that means we can get rid of the mentally weak players it could be good for us longer term

Not having a go at anyone here, (and I'm not sure whether Pearson would be right for us) but is there any proof that Pearson causes problems in his own dressing room? I know he is a prick to media, opposition, fans etc but surely he must be ok with his own players as his record seems ok. When he gets a team to win Championship and also avoid relegation when things looking bleak, not many fractured teams could do that....

If we sell Gabby. Who's gonna buy him on his wage?? If a team does decide to take him on, I would assume they will offer a much smaller wage deal and ask us to pay difference which will either cancel out the minimal transfer fee or at least reduce any money we get for him.

5 points, a draw against West Ham and Newcastle, a win against Norwich

This was the appointment I was expecting. Not too many established managers are going to leave a club to go to us in the position we are in. I'll support TS even if we go down.

He's putting in an effort and playing very well...so far. May it continue. Happy to have him back. I never thought I'd say this, but I think he strengthens our back four. I liked the way he made some good tackles and seemed to make a few good forward runs with the ball.

I dont't mind him at all. I see his strengths down the flank in an attacking role though, definitely not defensively. I assume lamberts gonna try 3 cb at back again......

He is a solid player. good defensively, great captain. Would make our midfield look much better. Him and Delph would work well with an attacking mid in front.

I was happy to give him every opportunity to make a success of the job originally. After 1st year, I thought we were heading in the right direction. Some of our general play at the end of the year was good to watch and the players seemed to be improving. This year I have been extremely dissapointed. Not just with the results but with our general play. Our skill levels do not seem to improve, our tactics are quite honestly - boring. I can maybe only honestly say i have enjoyed watching us play about 3 games this year. I accept that things have probably not gone the way Lambert envisaged, with injuries to key players, but a good manager also needs to plan for this ie have a plan B and C. I am not saying Lambert should be sacked now, as I think it would not help our run in, with relegation on the horizon, but regardless of how we fare at the end of the season, I think serious thought needs to be made regarding whether he is the right manager to take us further.

Jury out for me. Need to see him play a few full 90 minutes to gage whether he will be useful for us. So far, he seems to either be trying to hard, or he's just a selfish player. Goes for the 30 yard shot when team mates may be in better position to take pass. I'm hoping it's just a desire to make an impact feeling he has to score a goal to prove himself.

This....... 1000 times

Awful, dire football by an average team. Awful tactics. He can have his excuses of injuries, but that was a bad performance. Have been a supporter of PL up until now.

I thought Bacuna had a great game. Looks as though he is quite comfortable playing any role on the right. Long may it continue. Lowton is quite a talent and I hope the two players can push each other. I think Bacuna closed down his opposition well and, in turn, it helped the defenders on the inside of him.

From what I've seen,IMHO, the reason we have lost games at the death this season is because the lads just seem to stop in their tracks and think (defend, defend,defend). They stop playing they were, they stop pushing up in defence and get deeper and deeper and invite the opposition to put as many shot in as they can. More times than not you will let in goals. It is so frustrating. It may not neccessarily be PL's fault, as the players deal with pressure in different ways, but it happens all too often.

Please no. The only thing he is good at is breaking legs. Talentless player.

I'm surprised no one has commented on Zogbia's performance. I'd be interested to know what everyone else thinks. It sounded like a lot of the fans were getting on his back and rightly so. I thought he had a shocker. I don't enjoy ripping into players but it looked like he didn't want to be there and was looking for any excuse to be subbed. Every little knock he recieved he seemed to go down and look to the bench...hoping they would sub him. The amount of times he lost posession or made a bad pass made my blood boil. I got so frustrated. These are just my thoughts. I may be wrong.

chelseas remaining games are all must wins for them if they want to be guaranteed champions league football next year Unless they win the champs final, then they don't have to worry.

Gotta agree. He was terrible today. Although his handball saved us, he should of been sent off which would have seen us in big trouble. His crosses from the flank were dire.

Three games to go, and as I write this, I am struggling to describe what I am feeling. There are so many thoughts and emotions in my head. What are these you may ask? Well, here goes. Disillusionment, trepidation, anger, sadness, confusion. I feel for all the fans, the gamut of emotions ranges from one extreme to the other. I believe (IMO) that we may not know our status until late in the last game. I for one, dread the thought of being relegated. Although we are a big club, I beleive it will not be an easy task to rebound and get promoted immediately. Before that could happen, there would need to be sweeping changes to the management and running of the club. This would involve, player changes, coaching staff changes, high-end management changes. If we were to stay up, then for us to retain that status and be the successful club we deserve to be, would require the same changes. I'm all for cultivating our youth system and bringing the young lads through. But they can't do it alone. There will need to be a wise head in charge of recruitment that can assemble a higher quality, motivated, value for money and wage effective team. Have we got someone at the club who can do this now? I'm not so sure. So regardless of whether we are relegated or not, there is alot of hard work that is going to be needed to get this mighty club back up where we belong. And no doubt, alot of ups and downs for us fans as well. I'm preparing myself for whatever comes my way as my passion for the club will never die. Best of wishes in the coming weeks to all the fans. Stay strong. UTV

I can't fault him at moment. He is playing a lot better than some of the others at moment. Good movement, passing and tracking back.

He is young with little Prem experience. He needs time to learn and adapt to the game. It is different to playing in reserves. Unfortunately there are going to be ups and downs when young players are blooded into teams. It is not ideal that we are relying on him at this time of the season, but I for one haved faith that he will turn into a good player for the club (if we remain in the prem league that is...)

I shudder to think what he will do if he is given money to spend in the summer.

Bolton is the all important game for me. I believe they have 2 games in hand so if they could get a win somewhere and then beat us, we'll really be dragged into the mire.

I've been nervous ever since about our 6th game. We had a easy start to the season in terms of who we had to play against and we just had not amassed enough points IMO. At the time I thought it would come back to bite us and here we are now looking over our shoulder. A few more upsets by the teams below us and I'll be nervously looking over my shoulder. Alot of people are saying relegation is unlikely to happen, but what is killing me is "likely" = there is still a chance we could go down.

Form not good enough, but so is a lot of our other players. Not suited to formations McLeish plays. He's either alone by himself up front getting no service, or he's shifted out on the left which I hate as I believe he is definitely not a winger. And when he is shifted out on left it is usually when the team is defending....which is alot
