In fairness that team finished the prem season pretty well...the tie just came at a terrible moment for us mentallty given what happened that xmas. Ah yes wasn't it 4-5 games on the trot that bozo lambert couldn't get them to defend corners and we conceded ear enough every game via corners?

The home game was a absolute disgrace I remember walking out of that home game feeling certain it'd be the last game that guy was in charge for. I think other people have already replied well to "that team would sturggle in the championship", which I agree is bollocks, but let's not forget, they weren't in the Championship. They were in League 2. They weren't even doing well in League 2, they were midtable. Losing to a team 3 divisions lower than us over 2 matches is one of the most embarrassing results in my lifetime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest humiliation was that Doncaster night and I never thought that could be topped but lambert managed it over two legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only team that could top it would be losing at home to a non-league side at Villa Park. Even then it'd probably need to be later on in the competition seeing as we put out a first XI against Bradford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that 'custard bowl' jibe, I make it myself regularly. Sadly Bird's have changed the colour of custard so it's now basically white, rendering the joke a bit wronger really.

PaulC Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Lambert had a good record at Norwich and he did ok with us with limited resources, however he has changed his footballing philosophy and if he sticks with the Bayern way, theres only one way it will go.

No, he didn't do ok with us. It was terrible, abysmal football that for a few years killed my enjoyment of this sport. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Increasingly I think he was a chancer who had a few good years at a well run club like Norwich. The rest of his managerial career is poor to average. He didn't have the balls to complain about the budget at Villa, he took his big contract and only now he is making a issue of it to make himself look better. I don't think he will do much at Wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chelsea loss vs. Bradford was "worse" IMO, mainly given the players that Chelsea had out and the fact they were 2-0 up at home with less than an hour to play.

It remains to be seen if he isn't completely finished as a manager, but credit where it's due. I didn't say it was a fluke. I said he caught lightening in a bottle. It happens a lot, e.g. Paul Jewell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
