Gestede was left grazing somewhere back in Brum.

I once called a very senior poster on here a Scalyback and I think I got away with it.  It is what squaddies call somebody in the Royal Signals.

What injuries prevented him from playing 442 or 433?

I'm on about Stoke last year you Wool.

You can stop that for starters.
It's fine PWS..I'm just glad he doesn't know where I'm originally from.Look results are not great but if we keep sacking managers we are never going to get anywhere. This club is crying out for stability..and a bit of patience from the club's fans.

The trouble is, stability only works if you've got the right man. And you don't know that until it's too late.

Lambert was given way more chances than most in the name of stability and where did that get us. Stability in itself is not necessarily a good thing.

4 wins from our last 48 league games.

Is it any wonder some folks are getting worried and don't have a shitload of patience? We're in Division 2 and still don't look capable of winning games on a regular basis. Despite playing at a lower level and having a load of new players all the weaknesses from the last few years still seem to be there, the only difference is the opposition are a lot shitter than in previous seasons.

This exactly.

But apparently you're being fickle because someone thought up a new song for the manager.

Excuse me..It was you who labelled me as talking bullshit. I think the 'fickle' tag, in my opinion,  is just as reasonable.

Despite having spent more on attackers than anyone ever has before in this division we've had 3 shots on target in total the last 2 games and only 3 sides have scored less than us this season.

Although amusingly one of those is 2 goal Derby with the managerial genius of Nigel Pearson.

Another quote for you, this one from Denis Healey on the subject of stability.  He said "the ultimate stability is the stability of the graveyard".

He's from Over the Water, ergo he's a Wool. He'll know what I'm on about, it's hardly offensive.

Ads you must have been called a wool yourself ha ha  living  in Newton.  Am  made up I didn't go now today.  I woke up with a right strop wishing I was on my way.

Precisely. That's why I argued we needed to give Lambert at least another two or three seasons to work his magic.
