The Paul Lambert thread - poll reset after our capitulation to Hull

[Dave]

Bielsa would be another thing all together, as would Thomas Tuchel of Mainz, but I doubt very much whether Lerner has ever heard of them.

As and when Lambert does leave, I expect we'd be looking at a coach from abroad.

Each of their appointments so far has had the feel of "well, we've not tried this yet". Following the Southampton route would appear to be the sort of things they'd copy next.

You know, that's probably our best hope. Having exhausted almost every bad option so far, maybe they would finally stumble upon the right one.

Also last season  we had played more of the top clubs at this stage - this season we still have several of them left to play.

We still have to play City, Chavski and Manure, and Spurs if you count them.

And the same time last season we still had to play, City, Chavski, Manure, and Liverpool if you count them.

If Lambert ever goes the 'foreign' coach will almost certainly be Malky Mackay.

Heaven forbid - our record with scottish managers is dreadful.

We don't have God awful QPR and Reading back-to-back to help give us some momentum. We have already played piss poor Fulham and Palace and got fecking beat by both!

This time last season we were starting to find some form and hit on a style of play that worked well for us - this season I cannot see that happening - the team spirit of late last season just doesn't seem there anymore.

We have too many players who have not been anywhere near that form.

We have plenty of the golden era of Glaswegians to try out yet. Mackay, Coyle, Steve Evans...

I can see us going for Moyes when he and Lambert are sacked. Fergie would recommend him.

This time last season we'd won one league game in 2 months. We were in worse form than we are now.

This wouldn't be the worst thing to have happened.

Makes no difference, because neither are getting sacked any time soon.

Has nothing to do with the incorrect point eastie made though.

Which will be universally applauded at the time and then lambasted a number of months later.

But was it not the time when we starting to improve and put a run together - i just can't see us going on that sort of run again especially looking at the fixtures coming up - I expect to end march very close to the relegation zone , if not in it.

Last season the title was all but decided already , this season there are more teams in the chase and there are possibly only 2 teams in the league with nothing much to play for - I think our remaining games this season will be harder than last season.

Whereas last season there were several teams safe and in mid table this year there are 10 scrapping to avoid the drop and fighting for points.
It will be a real dogfight from here and I'm not sure our players have the stomach for the fight that others do.

We won 5 of our last 10 games last season , I am struggling to see us winning 2 or 3 at most this time around.
