CrackpotForeigner Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Will defeat tomorrow spell the beginning of the end for Lambert with mighty hard league fixtures around the corner?? No, but Sunday might. Please let's not have a "beginning of the end". Let's have an end, or a magnificent turnaround. Anything but half a season of boos and bitterness.

We have 2 games then which anything will be a bonus so gives a bit of time to get someone in!!! But if we are up for it we should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite as trigger happy as you, but if he wants to have the banners out then losing this game will probably do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I know so when I saw a glimpse I thought i'd make the most of it!! He needs a win or it'll be messy and even his last few fans will be at breaking point!

Villarocker Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Will defeat tomorrow spell the beginning of the end for Lambert with mighty hard league fixtures around the corner?? I "Liked" this just so that Lambert wasn't the only person in this thread getting the sympathy vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I hope for Lambert's sake that he sells Benteke soon for £30 million. He'll suddenly become such a good manager! That's an interesting opinion for you to have! Given that Mcleish managed 16th place and was sacked for under performing with the squad I think it is not unrealistic to expect a decent improvement as based on the transfer incomings-outgoings we know that Lambert has spent more than 11 of the current premier league teams (9 if we exclude Saints/Spurs). If we sold Benteke for £30m as per your example (and assuming the funds were not reinvested) then I would lower my expectations of what Lambert should be able to achieve from that point. Some may argue as Lambert is apparently the best manager we have had in over 30 years he would be able to cope without Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannockVillan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 He's a tw@t who is jumping on the bandwagon because he sees an opportunity being an ex bluenose. Don't rate him as a pundit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannockVillan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Some perspective there for the game on Sunday. Having just watched Man U fail to beat Cambridge. Can't say they were lucky either cause Man U did F all. They made 2 chances the whole game. It's not always as easy as turning up to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say they were lucky either cause Man U did F all. They made 2 chances the whole game. It's not always as easy as turning up to play. Man U were playing AT Camebridge on a cold windy night, we will play on our carpet of a HOME pitch. Don't try to make excuses for the pathetic idiot before we've lost, at least wait until we lose. So we have the man u result, injuries, money, the fans, the goal posts not being big enough, plan a signing not coming off so we had no plan b, he wanted to sign a no 10 for 3 seasons give him a chance, he's sorted the defence out at least, he had us scoring at one point at least, we've had lots of shots, we didn't conceed 8.....Bradford wanted it more, Sheff U wanted it more, Millwall wanted it more, he's working on a project, it's the assistant mangers fault x 2, do we have any other reasons that lambert is actually alex ferguson/pep guardiola etc but is being limited/not his fault? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to disagree with any of that tbh. Yeah Savage has gone up in my estimation. One or two issues with that, not least overstating the importance of Vlaar, but a decent effort (for a no good scurvy dog of a bluenose). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's he got wrong? Never liked him as a player, but I could see someone from this site writing that article. It's perfectly fair, our attack is an embarrassment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
