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

[PeterWithe]

Lambert has done well to get the forwards firing but I'll find it difficult to forgive him his January inaction if we still end up getting relegated. We are still letting the opposition have far too many chances.

[N'ZMAV]

There seems a lot of confidence around. We still might go down.

Thats the crux for me, go down and he goes, stay up and he stays. Both outcomes will be purely down to him.

To be a little pedantic it will be down to Randy and I think he'll stick with him. That said, I'm feeling pretty confident that we have it in us to stay in the division.

[Legion]

Hasn't he already been assured his job is safe regardless?

I still don't get his insistance of taking off a midfielder and thowing on an extra attacker in games. He did it again on Saturday and it might have cost us. Against better opposition we may well pay for it.

Legion, do you ever read the sport supplement in the obsever, each week there is at least one example of a chairman "guaranteeing" his manager a job regardless, followed by a sacking a week later.  I think its good the vocal backing is there, but I dont think Lamberts stupid, he knows he has to produce results and perfomances

Did he? He brought on Zog for Sylla with the scores at 1-1 which is a logical move in a game we needed to win, and Weimann for Bowery with about 5 mins to go which is a fairly like for like swap. And he could have told Bowery to be more defense minded than Andi would have been.

I hope not.

I think people regard N'Zog as an attacker rather than a midfielder, whilst Sylla is a genuine midfielder not attacker.
Must admit I did wonder about the substitution but then who else was there who could be put on?  Also I was hoping that N'Zog would take a grip of the game and run at them through midfield as they were chasing the game at that time.  I am afraid he disappointed me a little.

[London Villan]

A combination of the Chelsea result, the home league defeats and Bradford would have done enough to sack him in my opinion.

If we stay up or go down I think the whole situation will have to be looked at in the Summer.

Which is what you do when you want the win. Take off a defensive mf and put on an attacking one. The sub made sense to me at the time.

Something needed to change in the midfield, it was all nice and pretty but no-one was carrying the ball forward, Sylla can count himself unfortunate to be replaced but N'Zogbia was precisely what was needed at that point. Weimann was knackered and I imagine that PL had one eye on Bowery's height when choosing his replacement.

As much as I enjoyed Saturday I think it would have been so much easier on the nerves with a few more experienced heads in the defense or on the bench, and that is all down to Lambert.

It's also down to injuries, form and money.

[PeterWithe]

I disagree, he has taken an almighty gamble with the future of the club in not bringing in defenders, even on cheap loans, in January.

Dunne hasn't been available all year and Baker seems to be in a perpetual audition for a part in Casualty, even more of a reason to get more bodies in January. If we go down and he gets the bullet he'll have no-one to blame but himself as his forwards are amongst the best group around.
