sutherland Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Yeah more division 2 and 3 players for this relagation battle... Just what we need lambert!.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 From those opening 12 games, as shit as it looks at the moment, we are only one point worse off than the corresponding fixtures last season. However, our football has improved significantly on last season. What data are you using to suggest we only had 10 points across the corresponding fixtures?? As for our football improving significantly ? When? Which games ? Flashes or whole games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The west brom game was ok. Spurs was poor and Norwich was awful and the sending off was justified. Norwich was only awful after the sending off which by the way wasn't justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not at all. But someone forming his entire opinion of a player purely by where he's come from without ever having seen them play, and then dismissing a very persuasive argument as to why he shouldn't do that backed up by solid FACTS because those facts were "googled" can absolutely be deemed any of the above. Negative posters are fine. Posters who metaphorically stick their fingers in their ears and don't even listen to any counter points, whether they have a positive view or a negative view, could fall into the categories you list in your post. Here you go... Morpheus, there's no "Lambert wankfest" in here. A grand total of three other people (one of which was CI, anyway) have mentioned Lambert in this entire thread; the only point being made is the absurdity of judging a player one has never actually seen play. My point is, we can't take many more gambles this season on lower league "potential" Fellas this is what CI is trying to say and i am in full agreement with him. James Chester could very well be the next Nemanja Vidic but he will still need time to acclimatize and if we're still in the bottom three by the end of January then we need players who will hit the ground running.

CI Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Correct Morpheus. I'm even a bit surprised we're looking at another CB as we will soon have Dunne back whose experience will be vital for this relegation scrap. My point all along is that lambert needs to flex his policy a bit and sign some experienced PL players to bolster the first team as the current crop are clearly struggling.

Mantis Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Whether or not a player will hit the ground running isn't dependent on what league they come from. Which one of Bennetts blatant yellows are you debating ? The second which wasn't a blatant yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's about the cumulative effect of signing too many lower league unproven players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFy Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Why? The defence doesn't seem better. KEA hasn't looked great and Vlaar has had good and bad games. You might not agree with it but I fail to see the overwhelming evidence to say its utterly stupid. Because it was an utterly stupid post. There was no mention of Gabby already scoring more than he did all last season. There was no mention of Andreas Weimann coming into the fold. There was no mention of Bannan putting in man of the match performances, alongside no mention of some surprisingly good performances from Ashley Westwood. There was no mention of surprisingly good work from Enda Stevens. It was just another **** negative post only focusing on the poorer aspects of recent performances. ****, I wonder about some of the people on here. If we won the league there would be some on here within three hours of collecting the trophy claiming half the players are shit and the manager is incompetent...

CI Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Figures fudged by picking the wolves away win. Why aren't you picking newly promoted teams from last season ie. Norwich away 0-2 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew nothing about any of the players that Lambert has signed yet have they hit the ground running? I mean the last time i looked we're in the drop zone. So it would follow would it not that players not used to the football in our league would struggle to acclimatize right away especially with the added pressure of a relegation battle.

Big_John_10 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Norwich was only awful after the sending off which by the way wasn't justified. The game was poor before then and i don't think i heard any pundit disagree with it. Shows how poor we've been when you need to clutch at that sending off.
