Prefer Hurst to have stayed rather than rather than Lambert 20:32 - Oct 25 with 6574 views | CaptMickMills | Possibly most disillusioned I have been in 50 years of supporting Town. If appointed Hurst should have given him more time. But back to has beens off managerial merry go round. How uninspiring and unimaginative. Can't get any enthusiasm about Lambert. What has he done since Nirwich? Got Stoke relegated? If going for 'experienced' manager then Warburton would be best option for me. How about Burley working with Hogg and Nash? | | | | |

They were almost gone when he went there | |

We had to change it and now - if we left it for any longer we could have ended up 7 or 8 points from safety, and that would be a tough task to recover from. Paul Lambert has experience of this league and has had a fair degree of success. He might just turn out to be the man we need. All he has to do this season is finish 21st, which if he can get the right players in during January I'm confident he will do. Lambert is as good an appointment as we could have hoped for. Time to be united and get behind the team and stop bickering. | |

If you don’t want to support Town after 50 years and putting up with so much crap over the last 10 years then why not give it a shot. You have noting to lose! Hurst was woeful, why would you stick with someone who doesn’t have a clue about building a team to be (at least) competitive at this level! | |

Prefer Hurst to have stayed rather than rather than Lambert on 20:50 - Oct 25 by Ftnfwest | Things just seemed to be getting much worse by the week rather than better. I thought after the first 4 or 5 games there was a certain amount of promise but really since then it’s been the ‘miracle of Swansea’ and nothing else. If we’d got a performance and result against qpr he’d have probably got the run through to the next international break but that would have been it if we hadn’t picked up a win or two by then |
Agreed, QPR was probably the most depressing Town game I’ve ever had the displeasure of witnessing as a Town fan and although I didn’t expect any points against Leeds I at least expected us to try and get one. We did nothing and were deemed “okay” by Hurst. | |

Prefer Hurst to have stayed rather than rather than Lambert on 20:36 - Oct 25 by Fixed_It | Check your facts if you are going to moan. Lambert didn't 'get Stoke relegated'. If we are to believe what we hear, results were not the only issue with Hurst's tenure. He had to go. |
Agreed. Hurst unsettled the whole club from day one. His assistant was also a major problem apparently. He had to go. Lambert has been great ... for Evans. Attendances up. More publicity. Not spending much. | | | |

Stoke weren’t almost down at all, when he took over they had 15 games left and were one single point from safety They ended up relegated with 2 games to spare, and ultimately finished three points from safety thanks to a dead rubber win on the last day of the season (sound familiar)? Under Lambert they averaged a pitiful 0.87ppg - again only boosted thanks to that victory Also re Burley I agree it’s probably a romantic notion rather than a logical one, but he could hardly have done much worse... | |

Could anyone have done much worse? Genuinely. | |

Prefer Hurst to have stayed rather than rather than Lambert on 09:50 - Feb 24 with 1178 views | RobTheMonk | Lambert's initial on field record at Ipswich is near identical to Hurst. It's only that Hurst and Doig were absolute egits that Lambert got away with a free ride to relegation and an absolute whimper of a relegation at that. He might as well have to the end of the season. I don't really care at the moment which is a horrible feeling to have as a supporter. | | | |

Prefer Hurst to have stayed rather than rather than Lambert on 20:38 - Oct 25 by WD19 | Cheer up. You don't actually have to adopt Mick Mills personality as well as his name. |
But I cannot recommend adopting his posture highly enough. Wonderful, wonderful posture. MM is a walking advert for the Alexander Technique. | |

Prefer Hurst to have stayed rather than rather than Lambert on 10:08 - Feb 24 with 1158 views | pointofblue | At the time I agreed that Hurst should go but as soon as I heard we’d picked Lambert I wondered what the point was. Oddly last year we seemed to be trying to forge an identity, even though we couldn’t score, but that’s been thrown out of the window this year. | |
