What the **** are you on about? Just highlighting that if he was as good as some make out on here, then perhaps he would do that. Mind you, if people feel sorry for him based on him getting stuck in and even winning a few headers against Leyton Orient then expectations are very very low. Step Up to the plate lad!! I watched the highlights on bbc last night and out of the 4 chances of ours that it showed, Westwood created 2 of them by putting in good corners. By the sounds of it he put another 1 on Bakers head who missed again. Is setting up 3 good goal scoring chances not considered 'stepping up to the plate'? What taking a few good corners??? No of course it isn't. Really good players grab them games by the scruff of its neck and go and win them regardless of their position/role in the side. Not one of our players did that. Not Westwood, grealish, Sanchez. Not one. I am absolutely sick to death of hearing about how good these players are because of stuff like 'they keep it ticking, they got stuck in, look lively etc. Its all a bit hollow for me. It's like people are ok with him putting in a few decent balls. Oh well he did his job ok, it's a shame about the rest. To lose 0-1 to Leyton Orient is an absolute disgrace and every one of them players out there could and should have given a hell of a lot more. So we created quite a few good chances last night that were then missed by the likes of Bent & Baker but you think the whole team should be blamed despite creating the opportunities ? I'm confused...

I've never seen him play AMF so I'm gonna cling to the thought that he has been playing out of position for Utd and will look better in a more advanced role because he has been crap playing in CMF whenever I've watched him. He's only 23 so hopefully he proves me and other people wrong.

Oh ffs, that guy has been spot on so far. I'll be sickened if we sign Cleverly.... Spend the money on attacking players!!

No place for him in the squad last night so that kinda confirms he is on the way out.

But where were these posts between 16th and 26th ?...I can see almost none. So it IS a reaction to the game. I can't speak for everyone else, but for me personally I don't think it's either helpful or particularly intelligent to post negative things about the manager after games where we pick up points. A lot of people are hurting after an embarrassing defeat and you can't blame them for that, but you can't honestly be sitting there and thinking that people are basing their opinions concerning sacking Lambert purely from this latest game. I wasn't impressed with the way we played during the Stoke win or the draw against Newcastle. Neither games were good enough to make me change my mind, but I'm not going to come on here and bore everyone and ruin the good vibes after picking up some points. I've wanted him gone for a while. I don't hate the guy, I'm not going to spit vitriol and it's definitely not all his doing, but he just is not a good coach and there are others who could do better. We might not improve all that much and there are other problems at the club but they don't look like they're going to be fixed in the short term. Getting a better coach in who could get us more possession and playing more creative football is something that could have more of an immediate impact. It's a good post and I can totally understand where you are coming from but Lambert is left having to play crap like Gabby and Bent as strikers and imo people need to consider the overall situation of the club and look at what the manager has had to put up with. Since he has taken over we have being getting run like a championship team and he has had to work with and try and sign average players in the main. I have some problems with his management style also but I still think he has done a decent job with everything considered and we look a stronger squad by a long way this season. We need additions upfront but it wouldn't surprise me if Lerner doesn't put up the money. All us fans can see what is needed for the team to improve and I'm sure Lambert can also but if the owner doesn't make it happen then the manager is being hampered and can't be expected to take all the blame when things go wrong!!

What happens if we get a result against Hull then? Then a lot of people get confused and frustrated as they don't know where to direct their negativity...........this thread certainly won't be very active if we were to win, unlike when we lose...!

I just hope that Warnock rates him. Let him go for free and sign two quality forward players in place of his wages.

Some posters just reappear after months of exile when we lose.....

The best thing about this result is that the club might release an interesting link to player now to distract us fans.

I wonder if Lambert would of liked to have Benteke or Kozak available tonight? Is it all his fault that he is stuck having to rely on Bent, Weimann and Gabby as his strike options?. I'd wager that he would most likely prefer the players that he picked himself and spent decent money on. He has done a great job over the Summer to strengthen our squad and one game doesn't change that.

Lambert in!!!

Shit happens....AGAIN!! It sounds like we went for it but were let down by bad finishing. Hopefully Grealish did enough to start on Sunday as he needs to play and get over any nerves.

Thanks

1 nil Orient

Bent. Through 1on1 and hit it wide

Through 1on1 and smashes it wide.......

Bent is shit

Free kick edge of the box

17,918 That's for the attendance nerds

This really could go either way. It's good that we are going all out attack and having a go, if we had better strikers we would be winning by the sound of it.

Good man Shay

AVTV commentary is pretty decent tonight tbf but Captain Jack needs to calm down a bit. He has me freaking out every time there is a half chance.

I don't get it. What's your logic? Is it because we have a player called Nathan who happens to be shit?? Pretty weak imo. Ok here goes, just for you. Yes it's partly because we have a player called Nathan who is pretty crap and also because the second name is Clarke. Now the spelling of the Orient Clarke is with an 'e' at the end and our Clark has no 'e' on the end but the pronunciation is exactly the same so it's quite easy to make a cross reference between the two. You're welcome! If he was called Nathan Clark, I may have chortled. May have. The danger of trying a joke on a text based audience, however.
