He's done an excellent job - football has been much better, we've outplayed some of the stronger sides in division, he's repaired rift between supporters and club and blooded youngsters. He isn't a miracle worker - so fed up of a few fans moaning if we don't win. We all know the situation we inherited. [Post edited 30 Mar 2019 19:00]

To be fair we're all irritated by Brenner saying much of anything so this is quite plausible |  |

How dare anyone question a record that is worse than Hurst’s |  |

That was my initial reaction, but the longer it went on the more doubt started creeping in.
Agree, cannot stand to bemoaning of him. Hope he’s here next year to rebuild. |  |

No problem with questioning, that's Brenner's job, but feel the way he framed the question was a bit unfair. Hardly as if supporters are really questioning Lambert!
Context is all. | | | |

Some certainly are - you can see it on here aswell as just generally speaking to Town fans
The question couldn’t have been softer if it tried either, hardly a hatchet job - in fact it was pretty much framed for an ‘inherited an impossible situation’ type response. You’d think he’d be used to the local press questioning his record after his last few jobs... | |

It isn't. It's practically identical in terms of points per game. And considerably better in team cohesion and style of play. |  |

‘Practically identical’ - but marginally worse | |

Guthrum, you can't come on here and make a sensible post like that, those aren't the rules especially after a defeat!!  |  |

Maybe, maybe not.
Lamberts PR has been excellent so far. I’ve only heard the interview once driving home but he was frankly evasive and came out with the phrase “If the club still want me here”, not the fans but the club.
My first thought was that something is happening behind the scenes but who knows what! |  | | |

I don’t think he sounded irritated nor concerned that someone would question his record. He is a very honest fella and will himself know that results have been poor. | | | |

0.018 points per game, which amounts to less than a point over an entire season.
Or practically identical. | |

But still worse
Even if you stick with identical, being level with our worst ever manager is hardly a ringing endorsement, is it? | |

He’s done what he can with the hand he was dealt.
We all wish he could have done better but this is down to Evans. Years of penny pinching and, frankly, asset stripping weakened the club to such an extent that Hursts ridiculous reign was the final nail in the coffin.
The damage was already done. | | | |

You’re right, no one else could possibly have achieved more than 2 wins in 25 | |

When he was set to be appointed I’d be amazed if anybody would have wanted him if they’d known he’d get 2 wins in 25.
But because he’s talked to a few club legends and said some nice things about the club he can do no wrong in many peoples eyes |  |

It isn't a ringing endorsement. But he was using the squad left behind by that manager (low in confidence and devoid of goalscorers), with limited additions in January. It's not like he had a pretty free hand in the transfer market and an entire preseason to set things up how he wanted them. | |

I'm far king Diss custard, they are just going through the motions till seasons end. Our club is in a really strange custardy place at the moment.
supporters are just sitting there expecting it to change straight away, nothing is going to change until we are a third div club......that's when names and comings and goings will come flooding out of the clubs news custard tins.
I mean you ask anybody, you ask me. |  | | |

I can't hear any irritation in his tone at all. It seemed more like an opportunity he was taking to give a first public indication of a change in background circumstance. | |

That squad averaged more points in the last 5 games under Hurst than it has under Lambert. The job he took on was quite literally to restore confidence and improve results - if he leaves tomorrow he’ll have failed miserably | |

And large percent of our fans think we can come back better and stronger. Hilariously deluded people as they forget that we are owned by Evans and the downward spiral is going to continue. |  | | |

PR Lambert's done an excellent job? Ludicrous. His PR is excellent. His results have been utterly pathetic, albeit with some mitigation for the mess he inherited.
Mick McCarthy did an excellent job when Evans' budget has been consistently bottom six in the division. Under Mick we won between 13 and 22 matches each season.
There's obvious ways to win Championship games with limited players - first and foremost being hard to beat; being organised defensively, even playing five at the back if necessary to shore things up and get some clean sheets. Being strong at attacking and defending set pieces should be a priority.
All I see from Lambert is hot air PR and an attempt to take teams on in open games of football. Fine if you have players good enough to do it but a recipe for continually failing to win football matches if you don't and there is no Plan B.
As Mick Mills said on Radio Suffolk: "We're not streetwise enough. When you're on the football pitch, be hard, be nasty, be ruthless. Win the game. Do it in a beautiful way if that's your capabilities. Tear the opposition apart with beautiful football if that's what you're capable of. If it's not beautiful football that you're capable of do it with tough football, do it with positive football, denying the opposition space and time, just want to be a winner for goodness sake."
There in a nutshell you have it, the difference between Mick McCarthy knowing how to assemble a team that is hard-to-beat competitive week in week out so that limited players regularly win football matches and Paul Lambert - now 2 wins from 25 - trying in vain to play the beautiful game with wet behind the ears Academy kids and limited players.
If Lambert genuinely thinks we were 'really, really good' yesterday he will be in for another rude awakening when we field our callow under 23 kids in a direct football, proper men's league next season |  | | |
