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

[Brend'Watkins]

Oh and from the few times I saw Makoun play, he'd walk into this midfield.

I think I could walk into our midfield at the moment!

Most opposition players walk through our midfield.

I think it is time for Paul to add an (ex Villa) or ex defender to our coaching staff, to help us organise our defense.  But don't ask me who is ideal. I think Paul need see if our players will response to different coaching staff better

We have a Championship level squad, for which I partly blame Lambert. However, in terms of performances I've been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because you don't expect to win matches in the Premiership with a Championship squad. However, you should still beat division four clubs. Still wouldn't sack him, but I am losing faith.

I don't understand how we could even consider firing Lambert? He's doing what we asked him to do. A few bad results and people want to fire him. Who are we going to get that's better? Do people not realize that constantly changing managers is a big part of how we got into this mess?

I don't know what people expected of this season. Should we go back to how we did things last year? Play a bunch of old boys and hope for a draw? If I hear one more person talk about "experience" or "proven players" I'm going to lose it. Playing all "proven players" has been our problem for the past how many years. Lambert is on the right track to waken the "sleeping giant" I always hear about. The only way we're going to do that is to utilize our academy and invest in young players. We have players that are above our current calibre that are interested because they know we are willing to play them. Hopefully we capitalize on that this transfer period. Lets have some patience people.

In Lambert we trust.

I agree to a point but its a lot more than 'a few' bad results. Still wouldn't sack him, I just don't think it's as clear cut as all that, ie yes we want the Lambert vision, but unfortunately it's looking like he may not be able to deliver it.

Seane Teale would be ideal.

They're not just "bad results" are they?  A bad result would be losing 2-1 at home to Wigan; we lost 3-0.  A bad result would be losing 4-0 away to Chelsea; we lost 8-0.  A bad result would be drawing 2-2 away at Bradford; we lost 3-1.

These are appalling results and they're not isolated - they're coming one after another.

Regarding the point in bold, are you are advocating not having any experienced or proven players in the team?  We should continue with playing academy players and young unproven players?

Adding one or two would be fine, but the calls to scrap the entire team; or bring back Warnock just seems like madness to me.

[silhillvilla]

Why should we trust lambert anymore ? He's both Scottish and clueless

[Legion]

What has his Nationality got to do with it?

[silhillvilla]

Nothing really other than the fact I am completely done with Scottish managers down villa park.

Scottish managers like George Ramsay?

To reiterate: what has his nationality got to do with anything?
