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

[eastie]

Not a fan of Lambert then, Eastie?

I thought he was a decent choice but it hasnt worked out - better to cut our losses and admit it was a mistake than blindly follow him .

[Ross]

There isn't a cat in bells chance he will be tolerated if he takes us down. We aren't some plucky new comers that should give him time to rebuild. He is the worst manager since McNeill and it beggars belief he's still there.

Lambert staying or going is unimportant. The most important thing is to bring in three experienced players: the defensive midfielders and a central defender. The second priority is to bring in someone who can organise the team defensively. It doesn't have to be a new manager; a defensive coach who will work on the basics can improve things in a pretty short time.

If we manage that, I think the likes of N'Zogbia, Ireland, Gabby, Weimann, Benteke and Bent actually have enough quality to create and score goals to keep us up.

We're still above the relegation zone -- just.

I agree and Jamie Carragher wouldn't be a bad shout for that Defensive role (in my opinion).

Carragher yes, fact

I knew we could find something to agree upon if we kept at it long enough!

I just don't get the lemmings type mentality of some of our supporters. Of course we are a bad team but worse than last season? Of course not.. Either people truly think Lambert is getting the best out of his players, and they really are non-league standard (and i think even non-league teams can manage not to concede a goal from a set-piece every game) OR he's doing a truly shitty job and should go. Whatever the players limitations, they're better than the disorganised,  leaderless rabble that Lambert puts out week on week.

Are seriously saying the manager staying or going is unimportant?

The manager is in charge of signings, selections, coaching , tactics, etc - all the problems playing wise can be laid at his feet .
He spent £22m in the summer , far more than many clubs above us in the table - get rid!

It's an inane comment, I know, but we cannot do anything about the mistakes we have made. All we can do is try to correct them in the future.

As I said, I believe that the combination of signing three experienced players and a modicum of defensive organisation will be enough to avoid relegation comfortably.

If Lambert is clever enough to realise that he needs experience and is able to sign appropriate players, and if Lambert is tactically adept enough to realise that himself and his team aren't cutting it when it comes to defensive coaching and is able to bring in an extra coach who can remedy that -- then I'll have no problem with him staying.

The biggest difference between this season and last on the field is Petrov. We have missed him so bloody badly.

I see lambert  is now refusing to answer any questions from kendrick or the birmingham mail.
Its part of his job to address local media - childish petulant behaviour from a manager.

Clone of O'Neill.

The question Mat Kendrick asked:

Q: How disappointed do you think the fans will be after coming out in big numbers again to watch that?
A: Blankety blank


Seems a fair enough question.

There were four in total from Mat throughout the press conference and he ignored them all.

Whilst we need a Jamie Carragher type person, i don't think the man himself is going to leave the club he's played for all his life to get involved in a relegation scrap any time soon.

As for Lambert, i don't like the idea of getting rid of a manager so soon after appointing him, we do need a bit of continuity. Unfortunatley though i can't see us getting the 20 points we need under him.
