So if we have players struggling with knocks where a game 3 days after Norwich might put them out for a while, you would still play them just because its a cup game?

How many long term injuries do you think we can cope with?

And you must remember that I am no apologist for modern football. Winning things is still the be all and end all to me.

There is a huge difference between wanting to win a game and dicing with the next few months of the season just to try and win it.

Lambert says we'll endeavor to play 'sharp incisive passing' and I think it's vital we do that, I'm glad he realises.

While he's listening to us can we have a decent number 10 and a world-class defender please Paul?

Paul?

Oh he's gone...

Great result obviously, and a couple of bits of real quality. However we need to be much more proactive in future.

I'm really pleased for Paul Lambert tonight. I can't imagine he wanted to be answering questions about our 5th straight home defeat, and 4th straight in the league

You are forgetting we won last week at Norwich.

You're forgetting our home win against Rotherham though.

Do you not think going proactive against a team with the talent that Citeh have got might have meant a brave but fruitless 5-3 defeat rather than a glorious win?

Maybe but as we progress we'll need to try and dictate games a bit more. If a team has 67% possession against us more often and not they'll win. We did brilliantly yesterday, but I wouldn't say that style would be the blueprint for success.

Did we play well yesterday ? Genuine question.
