Kendrick Says It's Time To Ask Questions

[not3bad]

The other point is that the board admitted, in the wake of the Mcleish sacking that the football had not been "compelling" enough.  One of the remits of the new "young and hungry" era was to start playing football that people actually wanted to watch.  And again it looked like we might be on the way there last season.  But nobody can deny that this season has been a step backwards in that aspect.  I still believe that is the football Lambert wants to play and will see who comes in over the Summer.

Fair enough.

I've said literally a million times before on here,
if your desperate to get Lambert out then you had better start hoping we lose a load more games and put ourselves in the bottom 3 or 4
Because there's no way he's going anywhere as long as we sit in 11 th position in the league

Mid table teams are always inconsistent that's why they are mid table, they win one,lose two, draw one, lose one then win another and so it goes on
If we pick up 3 points out of the next 5 games we will probably still be pretty much mid table, sitting on 34 points with 5 to play, there will still be no pressure on the manager because that's what mid table ness is all about, just getting by,

Lose the next 6 or 7 games on the trot and then Randy has a choice to make

In the meantime. I haven't fully studied this yet but take a look and see what you think. It is a few weeks out of date.

That is interesting, but does it really tell us anything that we didn't already know - as in it's very tight in the bottom half?

There are only a finite amount of points available in the PL.  So, if the bottom teams have less points than expected, then surely that means somewhere further up the league you have teams with more than expected?  Except if there is an inordinate amount of draws, of course.  So, if the argument is that the league is weaker, specifically down near the bottom, then surely it's bit of a balancing act where it is actually stronger in another part of the table?

Sounds like you're desperate.

I do think we might be in a little danger of disappearing up our own orifices with over analysis here. Of course a couple of freak late results can give a slightly false picture but by and large if you spend the majority of the season bobbing along in the middle of the table and that's where you end up it's fair to say that's where you deserved to be on merit. Trying to argue that the league is weaker or stronger overall one year to the next is fairly subjective.

So literally, literally doesn't mean literally in any literal sense of the word.

Well, I figured he wasn't trying to be alliterative.

No not me , I'm prepared to see how it goes with Lambert
But there are those who want him out and can't see any reason why he should stay

And I'm saying if we stay mid table that's reason enough for Randy not to fire him,
I can't see him getting the sack while we are inconsistent but mid table, that's what most of us would have settled for at the start of the season

I hope he is still there next season, although its not been a bowl of cherries at times he deserves another window, and I'm sure hel get one if things stay pretty much the way they are

I knew that would get on some people's nerves, hence the reason for writing it
But sadly I have no defence for being a boring bit,
