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

[Greg N'Ash]

Of course he deserves his share of the blame.

There's one thing that can save us this season, and that's the immediate acquisition of a left back, a centre half, and a midfielder, and all three players simply must be experienced.

12th Jan today, that's 2.5 weeks to get them in. If we're going to throw in a managerial change, too, then forget it, it isn't going to happen.

For weeks now, we've watched a team of kids getting mullered, their confidence dies a bit more every single week.

There isn't a manager out there who is going to be able to take that piss poor squad - and it doesn't make any difference how many of them Lambert bought, it's a shit squad, full stop - and turn things around.

Lambert needs to get his act together, definitely, but I'm afraid that without the assistance of our stay-away, absentee, clueless idiot of an owner, then we're done for, no matter who is in charge.

Exactly how I see it. Lambert made a huge mistake in believing that he had  a squad which was good enough, it is obvious that he hasnt. The absence of a experience and ability in critical positions (central midfield being the most obvious) is down to him. But the real culprit is Lerner.

thing is,the money is not there so while you're right to blame Lerner, its doesn't stop us getting beat every week. We can carry on with lambert and play like a disorganised rabble until we're put out of our misery in May, or bring someone in. He doesn't have to be a great maanger, just someone who can organise a defence and make us hard to beat. We're shit but not shitter than Reading or Bradford - under lambert we are.

[/quote]if we are relying on Baker and Clarke without any cover in front of them and no left back then we are down. Not sure Vlaar will make that much difference.

mebbe  a new guy could get something out of warnock, Hutton and Dunne. I know clutching at straws but lambert won't even try

Thing is it's well documented that there was more money to spend in the Summer but PL chose not to spend it and went down the young and hungry route.RL has made a complete hash of things but PL is largely to blame for our present psition.I am hoping there is money for the new manager which is why PL hasn't made any signings thus far

[/quote]this well documented, money was there not spent, where? I really would like to  know

[Mortimer's Bear]

Out I'm afraid.

[Ad@m]

Slightly unfair to reset the poll just after we've lost to a poor team at home.  Had it been reset after the Liverpool game there'd have been a very different response.

[Mortimer's Bear]

The worry is he sacks Lambert and hires Mark Hughes, I do not want him down Villa Park!

[Risso]

Yes, it's just the loss to Southampton at home that has led to the change in views.  Absolutely.  *Head banging emoticon*

[Lambert and Payne]

How can it be his fault when he doesn't have the backing? He's been given transfer budget but no wage budget, its all well and good paying a fee if he cant pay a player.
Today the referee was fucking abysmal and Benteke should have had 3, I wouldn't blame Lambo for that

[TheSandman]

The best argument in favour of him staying is the absolute dread about who those buffoons Lerner and Faulkner will bring in next. How's Joe Kinnear doing?

[Fin Feds Dad]

Its his fault when he is as Pig headed as he is.

Warnock needs to be brought back in - and I would also be playing Ireland in our current predicament.

There was no question of anyone wanting him out up to the Liverpool game but since then we've shipped 18 goals,picked up 1 point in 5 and lost to a 4th division side

[PaulTheVillan]

Time to go Paul. You are not as good as I thought you was.

I direct you to the 'Things I've read on here' thread to see the wildly-swinging views depending on the latest result.  If the H&V forum was a human being it would've been daignosed with bi-polar disorder a long time ago.

If the point of a poll is to be representative I don't think resetting it when fans are probably at their lowest ebb is going to get that result.
