It matters little whether he has the fans at any moment of time. Were we to go on a run and get back into the top two the majority of fans would soon change their minds again.

What is more problematic to the club is us not getting promoted which is very much on the cards as things stand.

A long way to go but Lambert needs to find a way to turn this around very quickly.

It matters a lot if the atmosphere turns toxic.

To a degree but most fans will give the team a chance. The toxicity will only really come if we are failing to win yet again.

The biggest issue is results. If they come (and it is a big if), the fans will soon be onside again.

Agree but things are at an almost critical point as to which way it goes.

Fail to win tomorrow and it will be boos and worse at the end from some.

String a few wins together and it will be "Paul Lambert is a blue...".

Was disappointed with the way he spoke to Phil in the presser. Thought Phil was asking essentially irrefutably true questions and he was getting very defensive and condescending.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

Expectancy ? Yeah, we expect players to turn tippy tappy possession into goals. We expect 90 minutes of trying to win a game. The reason we lost some games is because we revert to defending when we have run out of attacking ideas. Or worse still, not enough to scare a team.
Lambert advocates players have to "earn the right".

PL always seems defensive and dismissive of PH’s questions. Not sure what Phil has done to upset him?

Agreed. On the mood changing quickly given a couple of good results and also that it's up to Lambert.

Certainly seems on the downward trend, for me it's the lack of any real progress with our style of play, it's a bit of a non entity and our inability to beat those promotion rivals. A few wins on the bounce and especially against sides that are above us like Portsmouth and Coventry might install a bit of faith. The team/club could do with an injection of something, it's all a bit flat.

This is, of course, true. The problem is, PL doesn't seem to know how to turn it around. I really hope he can, but the players don't look like a team atm.

It looked like it had changed against Tranmere and Lincoln with a settled side, the wingbacks working and Huws and Downes bossing midfield. I was really losing faith before that and it seemed we got everything that was missing in those games.

My mood definitely changed and the mood seemed to pick up in general too.

But then we saw that this team wasn't good enough against the better teams — whether that was tactics, mental fragility, not having built up enough team understanding and togetherness, momentum, confidence or a combination of all that.

That's come as a huge punch in the guts. But the good news now is that we don't really have to deal with the better teams anymore. At least not on the pitch. So if we can be those flat-track bullies again and pick up wins then we still might go on a decent run.

So hopefully the question about how good Lambert is at turning things around and getting performances out of the team might not be need to be answered this season anyway. But even if we do go up it's certainly something we need to address in the Summer.

I know it’s not as simple as Huws getting injured but hope he stays fit for the remainder. Judge is clearly not the player he was but he’s what we need, Bishop possibly back on the bench today, if we could have any luck with his fitness too he would make a huge difference.
You add in Garbutt being out and of course KVY, then yet again key player injuries at key times have not helped.
As for most of his tenure though, the jury is out on Lambert...

That, of course, isn't going to happen as we have no one above us left to play. If they can lose or draw and we can win it will be as good as us beating them.

Problem is Peterborough and Rotherham look as likely to lose at the moment as we do to win (both not very likely). If we were to be in the play-offs we might as well not bother because we have shown no likelihood of beating any of the sides that would also be in them all season.

My mistake. I missed them.

Need to win a good number of the rest of our games.

Couldn’t agree more. The whining wazzocks are driving me to despair after supporting town for over sixty years.
As for PLs response to Phil’s questioning I thought it not unreasonable. He called Phil out on his first statement about finances and Phil had no answer. Club finances are not a simple matter. Weekly wage bills are simplistic. Into the mix has to go transfer and loan fees to get to a total net spend so I am not surprised that Phil couldn’t respond on that one. Other matters come down to opinion and we are where we are. We are not the team I remember from the 70s.
There is no entitlement in football though some of our “fans” seem to think otherwise
