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

[bertlambshank]

I have to agree,I don't hate him but I think he is a chancer.

[Boz]

Who on earth voted no? Must have pressed the wrong the wrong button!

Raises hand. I still support him. I don't blame people who don't though.

Me too, financial constraints etc.

I'm not trying to change your mind, however it was pointed out on soccer saturday there are other managers in the league working on similar budgets.

There is no excuse for the way we play, there are plenty of good enough players in that team and he does not have a fucking clue how to set them up

 Who else works under these constraints and where are they in the table?

Pardew to a degree at Newcastle. Another owner satisfied with mid table and selling any player who turns a profit.

The quickest way to split fans is a boycott.

The fans are already split
And id argue a boycott of sorts is already happening

People are staying away because of lack of entertainment.  They are not staying away as a protest so it is not a boycott.

I'm only surprised that Ellis hasn't spoken about it all yet.

Yeah. By the end of the season a boycott probably won't be needed.
Anyone know our record low attendance in a Premiership game? I reckon we may beat it this season (if Lambert hasn't already set that record).

I'll bet you anything you like that we come nowhere near it.

As we have about 20K ST's and they are always counted in it unlikely that I for one will not bet on lowest PL crowd this season.

[claret and blue blood]

I think yesterday was the last straw for many as it was embarrasing, looking around at the faces of people before the game told it's own story misery doesn't really describe the expressions on their faces.Enough is Enough.

[Richard E]

If people were devastated by a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace they must have been suicidal in the past when we've lost by 3 or 4 goals. It wasn't very exciting but let's not get it out of perspective.

Do you know what sort of figure we'd be talking? Low 20's?

As if by magic the shop keeper appears.

16,180 vs Southampton Nov 24th 1993.

Okay we're not going to get that low. Though to be fair our capacity is bigger than it was in 93.  I envision a few near half empty games on the horizon. Stoke at home just looks like a seriously unattractive proposition. Like trying to pull in a nightclub and Katie Hopkins is the best look bint there.

How does lower capacity affect low gates?
