Mantis Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The sad thing is we probably would've won had we been away. I know our home form has been poor long before Lambert came in but it's taken another level in shit since he came. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted January 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2014 Although angry with lambert, we should look at the players too - none of them deserve to be wearing the claret and blue shirt. Especially the comical defenders that we have in disposals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Even if Lambert does go, do you really think funds will be there to spend? Lerner will keep the manager, we are a budget team and he wants to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradarmstrong_ Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 His stupid comments to the press about the FA Cup have come back and bit him on the arse. If the cup isn't a big deal then play the fringe players so we can actually see what they can offer. Don't play most of your strongest 11 then get beat at home to a league 1 team. The man is absolutely clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I wonder if Lerner knows we were playing. I'd be surprised if he even knew the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner will keep the manager, we are a budget team and he wants to keep it that way. Yes, that is why I wouldn't get rid. That said, on paper we had a far superior squad today. I've always been of the opinion that Lambert is doing an ok job in the league with the squad he has but he seems to have an inability to beat lower league sides with worse squads than our own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted January 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2014 To anyone still defending Lambert - WHY?! What has the man ever done during his tenure here to give you optimism? He was my first choice when McLeish left, and has turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments in the 20+ years I've supported the club. I thought when he was appointed the bare minimum we'd get would be a solid, reliable team and no shocks along the way. Something needs to change.

JoeParker91 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Lambert can't have it both ways, saying the Cup isn't of importance and then play possibly the strongest team available to him bar Gabby. Either he shouldn't have said it or even better, say he'll take the competition seriously like the majority of the fans want. If he doesn't want to concentrate on the cup, then I could accept that more if he gave our younger prospects a game, but alas that wasn't the case. I lost faith in him after Palace, nothing since then has changed my opinion, including the win a Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Can we not rename this thread to the Paul Lambert thread? No-one with a brain wants him sacked and the others don't count. Can I have a brain please because I think he is shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
