Still out.    Beating the bottom team at home, welcome as it was, doesn't change that.

A side who had won their last 2, have much more experience and on paper a very decent first 11 though.

Still in. Anyway, with eight games left and two consecutive wins it makes little sense to sack him.

It'll be interesting to see what he does if we stay up, though. Will he change the backroom personell on the basis that they've failed to sort out or defence during the season, or is he happy to be surrounded by his underperforming cronies yet another season?

He has made a lot of pretty poor decisions, there's no getting away from that, and we are still far from safe from relegation, but I've seen plenty evidence of what he is trying to get us doing.

If only he could sort that defence out, we'd be a more than decent side.

So that's an "in" from me, still.

Ditto.

You could argue that it was lambert reacting to redknapp's tactical switch that won us the game. We were forced to play quite narrow and we were denied any space out wide. Second-half we played with a lot more attacking width pushing QPR back. Have to give the manager credit for seeing the problem and changing it.

Yeah, credit to you for sticking by your guns, that's fair enough

But your saviour and emergency manager mr Alardyce is only 3 points better of and still playing is special brand of absolute shit anti football
So although Lamberts not pulled up any trees, in a choice between the two I would vote a million percent for Lambert

I'm not sure that I ever claimed that Allardyce was anything of the sort John.

It is nice to see a bunch of lads who actually look as if they enjoy playing for our beloved club and Lambert has to take a lot of the credit for that. It has been tough, but I actually think some progress is being made now

Nice bunch of lads?  :o

think you read that a bit wrong

If he keeps us up I'd give him till Christmas next season. If it's a repeat of this season he should be sacked. If he takes us down this season he should be taken outside and shot, and then sacked.

I'd prefer O'Leary back over Allardyce ;)

You definitely said that you'd rather that he was our manager. Still stick with that?

I just want to get through this season and reckon we can kick on. Benteke has been a brilliant signing, Westwood superb, Vlaar good for the money, Lowton is good and will get better, Bennett needs to learn but will be ok IMHO. Sylla shows potential, imagine if we had a  bit more money to give him. Even bringing Guzan back, brilliant decision and was big enough to give him a go.
