Stoke will know beat us and they are virtually safe , if we win we can drag them into it - I think this game is very much winnable for us .

I'm not sure what Lambert did wrong yesterday?

There were, again, a couple of defensive lapses that cost us dear and indeed a couple up front too.

We'll stay up.

I'm a Lambert supporter, but every time one of our CB's fuck up and we concede another needless goal Lambert must take some of the blame for not buying that desperately needed CB in January.

we have failed to beat Stoke in the last six games we've played against them and despite them being as out of form as we are, i can't see us winning there, much as i would like us to.

So we're due a win against them. ;)

I agree that we could done with another centre-back, but if he had heeded the advice offered here and spent £12m on Samba, we could still have been looking at a couple of mistakes per match - which seems to be what he is offering QPR at the moment.

I don't think many people on here suggested buying Samba to be honest.  I remember it being used as a rather poor argument in support of Lambert if anything, in that it was either Samba on £100K a week, or nothing.

QPR after Chris Samba £10mil

If he helps keep them up, that will be cheap.  Exactly the sort of player we could do with right now.

He should have brought Delph on at half time or at the very latest after Liverpool equalised to shore-up the gap between defence and midfield as Westwood and Bannan were struggling big time.  We were on the back-foot for the end of the first half, by the time of the equaliser it should have been clear to Lambert that a change needed to be made - Delph or El Ahmadi for Bananaman.

You're right though about staying up.

Players need to take some responsibility. You cannot blame Lambert for Baker's tackle (I am not saying you are by the way).

I am not sure what had got into his head before he lunged in, but he will know that you don't make tackles like that inside the box at any level.

More infuriatingly, he'd done in the first half a couple of times and got away with it (courtesy of new man Suarez who no longer seems to fall over).
Both Baker and Bannan need to stay on their feet in the tackle and I don't understand why Culverhouse ain't coaching them to tackle morte sensibly.

He is a liability in his own penalty area and seems to be a penalty / own goal waiting to happen.

On Sunday we were the better side the first half, then shot ourselves in the foot.  After that, we didn't have the leaders on the pitch, or subs on the bench, to give us a lift and really have  ago at them again.  For all our poor defending in that opening part of the 2nd half, we scored a goal, missed two sitters, had one cleared off the line and gifted them a penalty.  We easily deserved the draw and could have won it.

On balance, I do think Lambert made a mistake in taking Weimann off.  N'Zogbia did nothing and Weimann is always likely to score of create a goal.  Tactically, what he could have done was brought him on for Bannan and reverted to that front 4 formation and really had a go at them.
