Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[villan1975]

 I am not in favour of sacking Lambert in anyway and he deserves a season at the very least but my god have we looked worse this season than last which I thought was impossible. We have even looked so absolutely inept to the point of being defensively one, if not the worst teams I can remember seeing in the premiership. So the fans do absolutely deserve to criticise where we are now and what Lambert is doing. Does he deserve the sack? Not yet but he does seem to be trying very hard

Thats pretty much my position.  Swansea first half was as bad as the other big defeats but i'm hoping we've turned the corner confidence wise. As long as it was confidence, as opposed to the players being totally confused by what he wants. If we hadn't dumped 2 managers in the last 2 seasons i'd probably be on his back more, but i really haven't got the stomach for another round of manager recruitment and as many have pointed out - name someone who can take over who's guaranteed to improve things without big money?

End of the day if we continue to ship shed loads of goals, it won't matter what anyone thinks. He'll be a goner. You can't survive letting in 17 goals every 4 games unless you're scoring 18.

If you are a poor side, which we are you need to be organised at the very least and we are very very definitely not that for sure.

yep. In his defence they're young and some are out of position but still........no-one's expecting miracles but basic marking would be a start.

I definitely think we need to shift to four at the back, I think when we play 5 we almost end up tripping over our collective feet. You need to trust the four at the back(with the addition of a centre half) and now that hopefully Bennett can push on from his display.

Tsk.
That's not very catchy, I preferred that hilarious 'big bollocks' catchphrase you had.

Yeah I agree. I think the 5 at the back was needs must and it worked initially, but as we saw, once a few weaves start coming out, it unravels too quickly. Our defence is just shit, period, so I'd rather have more players ahead of the defence trying to score more goals. 
If we get Lescott, then a back four would work. We need a strong presence to hold the defence together. Someone solid, reliable. Lescott alongside Vlaar or Baker could work well. Clarks a little too patchy and I wouldn't mind seeing him rested for a bit.

Hehehe. Nice word filter mods.

Can I post a link to a Lambert article I wrote today? It's about his make-or-break January. You can check it out here: http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/07-01-2013/lambert-heading-for-january-epiphany/810516

It goes without saying comment will be digested and appreciated.
