We are close, just watch those highlights back.
We just need to be more clinical in both boxes, I am sure we just need to tweak the mentality a bit more and we would look very very good.
The football is 100% better under Lambert. We are now a football team once more.
Downes needs to evolve into a Lampard / Gerrard player. Nolan and Judge can already do that, they just need to start scoring more goals.
Lets bring Ndaba, Simpson, Cotter and Dobra into the 1st team now, and build for the next 2 seasons. We are not ready for the Championship yet, this is still a work in progress.
We can't judge Lambert, it is far too early, he has not had enough transfer windows to assemble his team yet.

How long have we been saying that? At what point do we draw the conclusion that we are simply unable to do that extra bit of tightening up?
As regarding the squad, he has had three transfer windows, has brought in some players of decent pedigree, but not managed to forge a system which works consistently. There are financial constraints, yes. But McCarthy managed to keep us in the Championship with similar (albeit with sometimes grim tactics). |  |

Paul Lambert has been in post longer than the majority of bosses in League One. |  |

It will never be better under Evans. We could have won that easily yesterday but needed a finisher. Got £500k in Jan and did not spend a penny. We needed striker cover. Look at us now. | | | |

Both goals were easily avoidable.
The first one if two of our players hadn't gone for the ball and kicked it well away, the second I feel Holy should have saved.
But it is happening all the time. |  | | |

Hi Paul. |  |
| |
| A couple of issues with your post..... on 11:04 - Mar 1 with 5377 views | Bloots |
…..we aren't close, we're miles off.
The football isn't 100% better under Lambert, it's crap.
Downes will be gone long before he "Evolves"
Nolan and Judge are crap.
Ndaba isn't good enough.
Cotter is injured.
We can judge Lambert, watch me...…..he's crap, there you go.
Apart from that you're spot on. |  |

There's truth to that but there's also myopia. Which team in the last two games hit the woodwork (i.e. came closest to scoring again) and which team didn't, answers a) Oxford and Blackpool b) Ipswich, and Lambert conveniently ignores this in his bleating. |  |

I have just watched the highlights too and my most abiding impression is that for their first goal Huws is wandering around on the edge of our box like a lost child. That would be bad enough but then he goes and gets involved to make things worse. It seems that only four or five months ago he was desperately awaited to bring quality to the team. What had gone wrong? Was he put off his usual game to make way for Bishop? Really odd.
But not to be completely negative I thought Keane showed a lot of ability and determination to set up Sears for our goal.
We will never know the full story of what goes on behind the scenes but the mystery of why Lambert got a five year deal is going to exercise us for a while. Did he have a better offer from another club or did he just need placating because funds were not available for the January transfer window? And has the legacy become that Lambert is losing the dressing room and/or the dressing room are losing Lambert... |  |

We are close, execution has been horrendous, maybe less so preparation, that must lay at the players door steps, not Lamberts?
Missed chances, time after time after time. Stupid individuals errors time after time.
I don’t see how that can be placed at Lamberts doorstep.
I don’t think the bulk of the players are anywhere near as good as people see through blue tinted glasses. [Post edited 1 Mar 2020 11:39]

…..you know, make them "better"??
It's a strange concept to some people (including the knobhead himself) obviously. | |

Their first goal was because Garbutt tried a silly flick on the edge of our area, we had almost got away with that but then Downes tacked Huws...
Personally I think Garbutt, Downes and maybe Holy were more at fault for that goal that Huws was.
I thought so at the time and also think so after seeing it again.
Before the game yesterday I thought that the team selection was brave and possibly on paper the best starting eleven that we have had all season.
If Freddie had scored at the end or even possibly if it had finished 1-1 I think that starting team might have still achieved something this season-I know that Downes cannot play the next two games.
Trouble is I am not sure that Sears and Bishop will be able to start on Tuesday, doubt if both of them will anyway.
Dobra looked good and Simpson impressed in his few minutes. |  | | |

He's not a coach though is he, by his own admission.
But yes that's exactly what's needed.
At our level we can't afford the luxury of someone in charge of the team who is just a manager. You need someone who knows their stuff and shows the players how it's done.
Some actual, hands-on inspiration. |  |

Huws would have had the ball away if Downes hadn't toe poked it away from him. That was on Downes if you watch it again. |  |

Yes, hadn't seen your post when I replied. Not sure what Downes was thinking. That goal was a comedy of errors. | |

OK, I have had another few looks at it and the Downes poke is clearly what makes the Blackpool goal but I stand by my point about Huws not being at 100% attention during the move, and quite slow in this defensive move and in the previous attack from the highlights. If it had been Douglas towards the end of his time at Town it would have been the stuff of Twitter feeds. I can't fully comment because I was not at the game but I am wondering about confusion on his part of where exactly he was expected to play. | |
