Interesting evening as you would expect not much given away re transfers etc but do believe we have another Ron Saunders who will expect nothing lesss than 110%. Think that may have come as a shock to one or two of the players who were used to just turning up to collect their wages

Well come on then, spill the beans..

What did he say about Makoun? What did he say about Clark and being in midfield? Anything else worth mentioning?
Cheers, thank you much very :-)

that  he'd never met the man and that Clark got better as a Centre back every day. Also mentioned Vlaar had played alongside a youngster before and helped bring him on

Regarding Makoun, after somebody asked a question he said, along the lines, I've no idea what he looks like or where he is.

He said Clark is a centre half and definitely not a midfielder.

Lambert moved the dugout so that he can give the linesmen some earache.

Do you think he rates Chris Herd?

Twitter people are saying he said a winger and a striker are his wants?

Not a left back?

The Makoun situation is ridiculous. Does he need a permit renewal to train with us?

He wont play for us again, but I think the manager was surprised by how many hands went up when Franks asked who rated him.

He places a lot of emphasis on hard work, attitude and commitment.

Which is exactly what this club needs.

As I said before, I have a feeling Makoun will end up being filed away with the likes of Balaban, Berson and Ghrayib which might be a bit harsh seeing as he did start a few games in the half season he was around. Still seems like a dreadful return on the original investment though. A truly bizarre situation.

He rebuffed the question of getting width in the team, he said hardly any top team plays with them now.

You wonder if he values inside left and right players than out and out wingers. Players that can start inside, playing just behind the forward line yet have the versatility to move outside or into an advanced position in support of the forwards. I see that in Holman which is why he'll be valued even though Lambert didn't really sign him.

I don't we'll be looking to get it wide to cross it into Bent. I think looking at some of the pre-season footage it's more about getting the ball to players between the lines of defence and midfield to open teams up.

The teams going to look a lot different to what we've been used to for a while, I think, and not just in terms of personnel.
