Lambert can start by losing that fucking huddle before the game.
It's small time and the manager should have the last word.

I think I've read every post on this thread and I'm now convinvinced that it was concieved by Samuel Beckett when he was visiting his nan in Rowley Regis.

Five or six key voices repeat themselves endlessly into a void. All others look on in boredom, terror, fear, confusion. The void becomes smaller as each phrase takes on mass. A Higgs boson of tactical naivety.

"I can't go on. I'll go on."

Smethwick Galton Bridge seems like a dream to me now, Nan.

At that point people will be looking back fondly at Lambert's reign.

'At least we played well for the first five minutes against Stoke.'

No thanks.

If you purely go by results it has failed miserably. Clearly players know that it's not doing much for their performance so why carry on other than suspicion/habit etc !

Wasn't one of the threads merged into this one entitled 'New long term deal for Lambert'?

Well that's all gone very quiet thank goodness, maybe some sense has befallen B6 and there's been a rethink.  As if.

I presume the pre match huddle is something the players feel the need to do, lots of teams do it. Can't really see the harm in it myself.

It's not so much the huddle, but the complete failure to defend and inability to hit a cow's arse with a stringed folk instrument that the players need to reappraise.

Or maybe, just maybe, the bozos in charge realise that and bearing in mind we are not mathematically safe yet, have lost a number of home matches into double figures this season which may impact season ticket sales that to give a manager a new (likely improved) extended deal may be to act in haste.

On second thoughts, expect it next week if we beat Fulham
