That ignores the bigger picture. We've currently* got a similar record to McLeish, despite what Lambert has been told to do and has done to the wages. The fact that we're 18 months into what Lambert is doing and he has managed to not allow that to affect our league position should be reason enough to give the man more time.
Or are people really that unrealistic to think that a manager who is shopping in the bargain basement because of the owner should somehow have us higher than 11th in the league than a man who had a much higher wage bill? If that really is what some people are asking for then they they're obviously not going to be happy, because they are making unrealistic demands at this point in time. * McLeish subsequently fell down the league. We haven't actually done that yet.
I'm not expecting higher than 10th so 11th is in line with this. However, at this moment in time I could quite easily see us dropping down the league, similar to McLeish's season. Yes the circumstances are very different, but the team are so short of form and confidence that I really struggle to see who we are going to get many points off. The football is dire to watch, we can't create chances and without vlaar we struggle to keep clean sheets. Now I'm not saying sack the manager but something needs to change. Be it a new signing or having a youth player being given a chance, anything to give the team a lift
