Lamberts comments have, somewhat, taken the shine 19:53 - Jan 11 with 2507 views | homer_123 | off what, really, was a very good all round performance. I've been a heavy critic of Judge, albeit also saying he should be able to rip this league up, today was, finally a performance we know he's capable of. With the excellent Huws and maturing Downes behind behind him...it was a very good midfield performance against a team that, typically, does well against bigger opponents. Jackson continues to impress and Garbutt and Edwards (the much maligned Edwards) providing decent support in all thirds of the pitch. Wilson and Chambers were very solid with Woolfy looking superb with and without the ball...all very good. Lambert...passionate and animated on the touchline resembled an archetypal dour Scot in the press conference. Is he trying to undo the good off the field work he's been doing? Does he really find Evan's comments grating. Why has he so contradicted himself in the press conference. Will the outcome be just as bizarre as the 5 year contract? Sacked in the morning? A very odd end to an excellent team performance. [Post edited 11 Jan 2020 19:54]

He mentioned Evans saying that's the best we can do. Maybe this is his public way of demanding more. if not it doesn't make any sense and he really needs to shut up. | |

The concern here is that he has a 5 year contract...he may feel he is safe to continue like this! | |

You gotta admit...a very odd way to finish a 4-1 win. Not losing sleep over it...just commenting on the silly way to end it. | |

Just not sure it takes the shine off anything, does it? He's said that this week, he'll probably contradict it next week, that's how it is. Bottom line: doesn't matter; good day's work and some room for optimism again. | |

Are we going to go down the road of things being down to everyone bar the manager when they go well? I mean, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we were, but wanted to ask. | |

Yeah...it does...otherwise I wouldn't have posted as such. First win in ages and he chooses to do that....if it's all about the players it's all rather bizarre. He won't see out 5 years and I'll be surprised if he hasn't walked by the end of the season. Great result today and an excellent first half performance. | |

I agree to an extent, but Mick did this a few times and when we had a good win he gave the numbskulls ammunition with his comments - seems unnecessary but he obviously needs someone to rail against | |

I just think Lambert is the type that likes to chunter a bit. Back this result up with a decent run and I doubt anyone will care what he said today or any other day. | |

No doubt....a win at Oxford would be fab. | |

You proper have it bad for him don't you? Never seen you si worked up so frequently Not sure it is giving all the credit away but he had clearly been told to stop messing and just play his best team and a settled team. Otherwise it is a hell of a coincidence that the 1st repeated side is the same as last week after 33 different teams in the week his boss speaks out | |

Maybe he's been working up to it. | |

Yep just an enormous coincidence, I can see why he must be so annoyed then. 33 games of preparation and his boss spoils it | |

You can see it unfolding if you try hard enough. | |

Criticise him when the team plays badly (plenty of opportunities lately) but don’t try and twist good performances and results into reasons to have a pop. That way numbskullery lies. | | | |
Lamberts comments have, somewhat, taken the shine on 23:21 - Jan 11 with 1762 views | Rocky | He must be a nightmare to interview. I've notice he's more conciliatory if we lose, but very aggressive when we win.His targets are everyone but the players - who have always been magnificent - even in a bad defeat. He will usually contradict himself within a matter of moments, so much of what he says makes no sense whatsoever. Difficult to work out. Is it a Glasgow thing? SAF could apparently start an argument in an empty room. He really needs to get that monkey off his back. | | | |
