Whilst I understand yoru sentiment...

The issues are not being addressed. The endless fragmented teams, formations, lineups etc have been present from the start and continue.

Very few have lost all perspective. But we are genuinely and reaosnably concerned about the chaotic approach to team formation and selection, and have a reasonable belief that it is significantly hindering us- and shows no signs of settling down anytime soon.

There is a strong correlation between those who didnt want mick to go and those now shouting lambert out with a side order of bcwywf soup. I dont really see how the link exists in football terms so i guess its some kind of ego related reaction

That always happens to an extent.

I can think of a few regular board members in particular who were irrationally supportive of Keane, then swung totally the other way with Jewell etc.

Undoubtedly there is a reaction.

However, I thikn the questions about the extraoradinry levels of rotation and lack of any clear pattern of play or approach, are very very valid.

I completely share those thought!

But sack him now? Really.

I’m very concerned that Marcus has fecked up yet again with Lambert.

But too many posters seem to be ignoring some of the good we’ve seen this season.

Criticisms that i would agree with, and i was critical last season when others just gave him a free pass because of Hurst. I just can't see how sacking him now makes any sense. We are in third and he hasnt had a full season yet.

It is difficult because whatever way it is looked at if we do NOT go up then PL has failed this season just as he failed last season.

We cannot afford to wait until we know that he has failed but on the other hand him going now does not make much sense.

If the poor points per game ratio continues much longer the relationship between him and the fans will not last because there are already signs of it cracking and if it happens then his reaction to it would be interesting-although I hope that we do not have to find that out.

That's a cop out. Either it's the same people or it's not, and if it is who was it? If we were 12 points clear we'd be approaching levels almost half a league or so below McCarthy so I'm not sure the logic stands up.

Even Lambert himself has said it's all about the Club and the fans and putting them before himself, a ruthless ambitious owner will know this and act accordingly, that may appear harsh right now but he's not getting the best out of this group, his stats show that, or is it that this squad isn't as good as we think it is? Owners can't change the entire playing squad to find that out of course...so they make the call and try to rejuvenate it.

The idea that sacking a manager leads to something better has been proven wrong at least 4 out of the last 7 appointments and the other 3 haven't necessarily seen any significant improvements.

I am sure there does come a time a change has to be made but people calling for Lambert's head right now seem to be on a par with those who run Derby County and try a different manager every year.

Looking just at League games we have made 4, or more, changes from one league match to the next in half our games. Surely that is the root cause of our problem.

There certainly appears to be that correlation, has to subconsciously though surely? No one could be that daft and bitter could they?

Not really. Not that many anyway. A tiny vocal minority, and the usual miserable sods on here, who are trolling half the time anyway. Most the the doubters are just doing exactly that, expressing doubt, and quite rightly. Loads of sensible football fans who've watched an awful lot of football, and have never seen anything like Lambert's chopping and changing. He's been here a year, and we are getting worse, with no discernible tactics or style of play for players to slot into.

Agree and well said.

The idea that we should sack our manager because of a poor run of form is embarrassing.
