Take our beating and move on. But this could be a pivotal game, for Lambert and for our season. Win this tonight, and I can't see us going down. We'd be on 26 points, and 14 points from 17 shouldn't be beyond us -even if we do have a 'mare of a run at some stage between now and the end of the season. However lose tonight (particularly if it's a beating) and lose at Anfield at the weekend and we'll be back around the dead men at the foot of the table. Lambert won't get jettisoned for defeats against either of those sides, but losing at home to the Olbiyun or West Ham on top of that could do for him. They might be the games that we'd expect to target three points, but a side that can lose to Crystal Palace at home can lose to anyone. If he loses at home to baggies and west ham , the guillotine will be out , you cant survive that .By then the window will be closed and it wouldn't make much difference sacking him .Is there any point in sacking him at all? Who would we get it would be a gamble on someon? Whoever it is they won't get any cash.I really think we need to stick with Lambert for the long term.
