Just being realsitic. when you haven't won in the league for 8 games, then setting yourself a target of winning every other game till the end of the season seems a bit daft IMO.

I'd guess they'll be trying to win every game.

So you think they should set themselves a target of not winning games? Seems an odd approach to me.

He shouldn't be setting a target at all. Especially a barmy one and more to the point much better than we need to do to stay-up

I may have missed something here but I can't see anywhere in his quotes where he says we need to win 6 games? Just comments you'd expect from a manager involved in the situation we're in.

The point is, that for those of you looking for a way to criticise, anything he says will be dismissed. Even if you agree with it you'll say, "don't tell me, show me". They have to do these press conferences so we're always going to get to read their comments, but it's naive to take them as anything meaningful.

Thats very true chris. Even if he was good communicator i doubt he'd be getting praise for his words after the current run but he doesn't help himself with this sort of thing.. Can you pinpoint 6 games we're going to win on current form? And presumably he's expecting to draw some games as well? We could even sneak into Europe if his predictions are right

Can you pinpoint to me where he has actually said we need to win 6 games?

I take this on board chris, for some lambert has burnt his bridges and there will be a tendency to jump on him at every chance - that is life .

I think personally it's a case of taking one game at a time. I've been encouraged by the last few perfomances (first half  against Newcastle aside). It can be done.

It can be done but now is the time for results, we cannot keep losing leads and dropping points - tomorrow i will take a 1-0 win as scrappy as hell and an awful display.

Of course I'll take that all season now.

I've got to be honest, I think this a ridiculous way of looking at it. Do you not think if he had actually said it they would have printed the quotes? What he has said is all there in the interview and it's certainly not what you are having a pop at him for is it? Newspapers do this sort of stuff all the time, then people like you fall for it and spout it as fact. Find the qoutes you're referring to as fact and I'll believe they're telling the truth.

It suits the agenda of a wind up merchant.
