Lambert 17:12 - Dec 14 with 6489 views | Herbivore | Those who have been in favour, convince me he's the man for the job without making reference to him saying nice things about the fans. Where I'm standing he seems clueless, pretty much Paul Hurst levels of clueless. No shape, no system, no style of play. We're regressing and he shows no signs of being able to address it. | |

Lambert on 18:56 - Dec 14 by Swansea_Blue | I saw glimmers of hope in our style last year, even though results didn’t improve over Hurst. It was progressive and enjoyable at times. But January didn’t help and just gave him selection headaches, and that’s got worse this season (although I wasn’t there today). He almost needs a smaller squad to force him into some consistency- perversely that might help. |
I agree Swansea Blue. You could see he was trying to embed a style of play last season, although it had its deficiencies and we lacked a cutting edge. This year, I was expecting us to build on that, look more confident and clinical with it, unfortunately it’s simply not happened. If anything that’s all gone out the window and we’re starting from scratch again, but with what I’m not sure? | |

Culverhouse was the tactician and Lambert the club mouth piece at Nodge , Lambert is clueless without him ! | | | |

Lambert on 20:09 - Dec 14 with 1344 views | SomethingBlue | The current run is giving cause for concern but it is premature and harsh to suggest he should go at this point. If we start falling behind the automatic promotion places then I agree it would need looking at because there is a terrifyingly large amount at stake this season. What he does have to do is get us on another streak of good results sharpish otherwise things won't be looking pretty. | |

Lambert on 17:14 - Dec 14 by Herbivore | Your down arrow isn't convincing me, Keaneish. |
Ha! No down arrows from me tonight Herbs. I’m in the same boat as you on this one. We said 2-months ago we need a settled side and we’re still waiting for it. I can take a few defeats if this is our system and we stick to it. Settled system, we win the league; simple as that. We’re far too good for sides technically - no idea why we’re over complicating it; Rovers were unbelievably ordinary. The game was won and lost in their wide areas and our full back positions today. If this is the side that starts next week at Pompey, we need to defend a lot better. We lost the game as we looked disjointed trying to find our feet. Had no issues with the line-up (other than Skuse at RB who did OK at times). It’s just yet another system.... 5-3-1-1 for Rovers is how I saw it. There’s one for PL to try! | |

Lambert on 20:47 - Dec 14 with 1270 views | powinswitch | Whilst we started the season fantastically in terms of results, I have worried about just about every performance. Wimbledon was a perfect example, where we were terrible but stumbled on 3 points with the last 15 mins glossing over abject football. I don’t see a system, I don’t see creativity, and whilst his PR is champions league, his tactical nous during games, his constant changing of players and systems from game to game, and the lack of creativity on the pitch is non league. He appears out of his depth to me, without Culverhouse | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I agree 100% with Herb. The results at start were based on defence holding firm and scoring just enough. Now with team/formation changes the players seem confused. It’s said that we’ve got a strong squad, well that’s not being borne out over last few weeks. Surely someone in Lamberts team can see what’s going wrong! He doesn’t like our views so perhaps he doesn’t listen (bit like MM). A point that was made before is that last season PL results were worse than PH. It was crazy to play Skuse at RB , if PL wanted him in the team then play him were he’s most effective. At that point with Donacian unfit he could have gone for 352 and play with just Keane (he did well) and Nowood up front. | | | |

stage thing that is clear, that LAmbert has no control over what so ever, is that he has inherited a whole host of crap defenders. He can’t come out and say that with no no replacements but his team selections speak volumes. In fairness I agree, I wouldn’t trust Kenlock, NSiala, Donacien or even Cotter to keep out pub strikers. He has no replacements so is trying better players out of position just to keeps these players out. Garbutt is having to play left back when we were winning all of our games with him mostly as a balanced left winger as doesn’t trust Kenlock who I agree is not good at all. Toto is a peno a game gieveaway and red card waiting to happen similar to Diala, Santos mould. Cotter is not a first team player and against Coventry we can see probably won’t be and Donacien although Ill is an ok defender but when gets past half way line looks like Cole Skuse in front of goal and a rabbit in the headlights. If lambert doesn’t get a couple of defenders in January to cover Vincent- young who is the biggest miss ever and a possible left back or centre back we will continue to struggle. Only thing I am looking forward too is sears and Garbutt in the same team on the left. Both can now defend and both can attack and interchange thanks to McCarthy drilling a lot of anti attacking play and defensive cover into sears and making him track back. This will solve our left side problem. Right is an issue to Vincent - young injured and need to be addressed with a loan. [Post edited 14 Dec 2019 21:39]

Lambert on 21:50 - Dec 14 by Pilgrimblue | You’re right so play KJ out wide as that’s where he’s most dangerous with Garbutt on left and then have Dozzy and Fynne in centre. Ok that means Toto is in back but at least he knows his role. |
He might know his role but he hasn't been able to play it since he arrived. As Herbivore has continually pointed out, every time we've started with 3-5-2 we've had to change it. And are you advocating Jackson as right wing back? | |

Yeah it was a stupid comment, I was p1ssed off last night and TWTD probably wasn't the smartest place to go when I knew there'd be threads that annoyed me further. My bad. Minus points for research though, I'll have you know I was 7 a decade ago (which obviously makes a great deal of difference) | |

Lambert on 17:29 - Dec 14 by Herbivore | 1990s Man United rarely changed formation. We change formation nearly every week. I'm close to saying pull the trigger. I know that seems extreme with us second in the league but it's clear he hasn't got a clue what he's doing and I can't see what he's meant to be building. We've got 2 wins in 8, 9 points from those fixtures, in a really poor league that our squad should be too good for. |
Pull the trigger?! Similar to Hurst?! Have you taken leave of your senses? I thought you were one of the more sensible posters. I can only assume you've started early on the eggnog. | |

Lambert on 13:01 - Dec 16 with 885 views | BiGDonnie | I'd like to say a bit of stability to the club, the players seem to buy into him and he has a good relationship with ME. Saying that, we do seem to be going backwards, and I think we'll need some solid results soon otherwise the unrest will grow rapidly making ti even harder to get back into the Championship. It may only be a blip, and a win could see us kick back on with a bit of momentum. Fingers crossed. | |

See my views on Saturday's game in mullet's thread. Overall though, while I too am frustrated by the constant changes, we are still second and playing good stuff at times. I never advocate sacking a manager this early (except in extreme circumstances), but given where we are and the need for stability, it would be crazy to sack him now. He's been there and done it before at this level. We just need a little more patience and trust IMO. Top 2 is what we need, and that's where we are. | |

Lambert on 14:32 - Dec 16 with 839 views | GlasgowBlue | I have to say that it’s becoming increasingly clear that he is tactically naive and doesn’t have the ability to make key decisions that can change a game when it’s going against us. | |

I'll have a look at your other post. For me the good stuff is very few and far between this season and I haven't seem any real signs of progress under Lambert. He's not done anything in a year to really earn my trust in him as a competent manager and I'm starting to think he's a busted flush. I'm not getting the bedsheets out yet but I'm miles away from being convinced that he's the man to take us forward. | |
