I said a few games ago that I'd almost consider getting the old bloater in, such was our dire form.
I stand to be corrected, but I don't think he's ever been part of a side relegated from the top flight? When you consider that he has -in the main- been managing sides like Bolton, West Ham and Blackburn, that's not too bad. Blackburn were in trouble when he went there in 2009, and he kept them up -quite comfortably, in the end.
With the personnel we have, I'd back him to grind out the required 3/4 wins we need. I'd have doubts that Lambert is up to that, but dropping Bennett last week and (finally) making us a bit harder to play through was a step in the right direction.
