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

[WarszaVillan]

We are a lower mid-table team. Lower mid-table teams are inconsistent - otherwise they'd be further up or lower down the table. We have shown we can play some great football, but also that we can be terrible. After 15 mins on Sunday I thought that we'd cruise to a victory and be looking strong to even catch Newcastle. But no - the team is young and confidence drains away quickly. The squad is weak and when we have injuries we struggle. We are all experts after the game of course and we shoud have gone with Bennett instead of Sylla and then we'd definitely have won. If Lambert had done that and we'd lost, he'd have been an idiot because it was obvious we'd have been over-run in midfield. Last week he was a bright up and coming manager, now he's a tactical idiot with a speech deficiency. The team needs consistency and so do we.

[Billy Walker]

He's so dull, isn't he? When I hear him speak, all I think is "inevitable relegation". I want to have faith in our manager again.

I find nothing at all wrong in the way he speaks; he's got a strong Glasgow (?)/Scottish accent - so what?  Plenty of successful managers have had pretty much the same accent.

[Concrete John]

I'd love to know what Lerner is thinking. Surely he must know the fans aren't happy losing 4-1 at home to Stoke.

I was a talking to a browns fan who told me lerner if anything was quick to fire coaches who didn't do well.
Bottom 6 and I think lambert could be on his way .

We're not bottom six though

But we could be by the end of the season if one or two of those below us string a couple of wins together.

People have been saying that all season.  It didn't happen then and it won't happen now.

It's incredible how people got away with the anti-Scottish abuse levelled at Alex McLeish. Lambert may mumble but what Scotland has got to do with it, I don't know. They'll be criticising the late Bill Shankly for his accent next.

It's mad innit. Just about every succesful British manager in history came from Glasgow/Scotland but we somehow managed to appoint 3 or 4 of the worst exports.

Billy McShit, Alex McShit and now Lambert.

His accent, his lack of articulation and his lack of discernable personality have no importance worthy of comment.  He could be Rab C Nesbitt for all I care. I just want a manager who will deliver wins at home on a regular basis and enough points at Christmas not to have this excruciating forensic dissection of every game in the spring of every year. Plus a genuine shout at a cup run. That is all it would take to keep me and other unhappy fans off his case.  It is little enough.

Exactly.

To be fair we got the cup run last season.  It didn't end well but it was a cup run.

And we've won 3 out of our last 5 home games

Not referring to his accent. I'm talking about what he says. It's not very inspiring, no wonder our players show no fight most of the time.

Oh dear.

You're not trying to suggest that our home form is one of Lambert's strengths? even if we win our remaining home games this season we've still had an absolute nightmare at Villa park under Lambert.

I'd rather listen to him speak than read your stupid comments.

Poor home form has been a problem longer than Lambert's been here.  Still his job to fix it, but let's not pretend he made the problem.
