| What is Paul Lamberts plan? 10:33 - Feb 5 with 4378 views | Martus |
My biggest issue right now, as it has been for the whole season, has been the playing style. Whilst it has kept us in the top 6 for the season up until now - it hasn't been the the best to watch. When Mick McCarthy left i thought there would be more emphasis on a better playing style and that hasn't been the case. We try and play it on the floor across the defence a bit more, before the likes of Wilson or Chambers get scared and hoof it long. We are simply not using our midfield enough and i just dont get why.
Our current game plan is hopelessly hoofing it long and hoping eith Jackson can get in behind or Keane/Norwood win the battle for a header .... both of which rarely ever happen. I don't get what Lambert does with his players during the week ... what does he teach them and what is he telling the players to do for the games. We have had some good periods of exciting fotball and we have been a great watch at times - but against the bigger more physical sides we just don't play. Are we to scared to try and play football or do we just get bullied? Either way - we arent convincing, even when we win. This side is not ready to be promoted, if we go up we would need investment to keep us up and that isnt likely to happen. Playing the style we are now isnt going to help us - we need get our midfield working and playing through it and playing balls through to Jackson and Norwod instead of hopeless 50/50 balls in the air and over the top.
We need to put more faith in the midfield and allow them to get the ball and use it rather than launch it from the back. [Post edited 5 Feb 2020 10:34]

Lambert doesn't have a clear playing style, he hasn't done throughout his managerial career.
Even with Norwich it was predominantly long balls into channels, with Hoolahan finding pockets to receive knockdowns and working in the final third from there. But in League One they had Martin, Holt and Hoolahan. Comfortably the best players in that league at the time. I'm not sure how much was down to Lambert.
Since then he's not been able to hold down a job so it's hard to judge but there's been no real element of playing style or blueprint to what he wants from his team.
The painful thing for me is I called it at the end of last season - going down without even a fight yet fans were singing his name and telling us 'everything was going to be alright' and 'weve got our club back'. It was the biggest load of rubbish i'd seen and for some reason a manager saying a few nice things in a scottish accent was enough to brainwash the majority of our fanbase. |
Indeed. I never understood that at all! |  | | |
