1) not culling the bloated squad ( therefore meaning he was unable to sign anyone else )
2) trying to keep said bloated squad “ happy” by rotating them.
3) postponing games that we should never have postponed - thus losing momentum.
We ALL make mistakes .
Can : will, he “ learn “ from these going forward into the summer and next season .
Does he deserve a stay of execution for the first two months of next season ? |  |

Fancy calling someone a 'statless messiah'. You utter gimp.
Did it not occur to you that those signings were made with the intention of retaining Championship status, as unlikely as that seemed, or indeed that money for transfer fees was very little or nothing?
You bleat on about going down without a fight, not making signings to try and stay up would have been just that. |
Lambert came in with us five points adrift had had three months to instill some fight, formation and philosophy and did none of those things. By January we were down and out. I wasn't expecting us to stay up, but at least being in touching distance of crisis-ridden Bolton would have been nice.
All his 'survival signings' did was add bloat, rather than fight. Some of them came in on the back of long-term injuries and promptly got injured again. Others barely featured(can anyone remember seeing Dawkins play?)
And what exactly did Judge DO last season? Because it certainly didn't involve scoring or creating goals. I didn't coin the term 'statless messiah', it wasn't just me who noticed he did f*ck all. But he's hardly alone there.
The real bitter irony here is if that had been a Mick McCarthy transfer window you'd have bleated and cried about yet more past-journeymen and loans.

Lambert's failure has been down to one thing. He's been unable to put together a cohesive, creative team with shape, balance and motivation. That is all it comes done to. We are toothless and that is down to the manager
I'd be amazed if he is the Town manager at the start of August. |  |

Well, I will say he did a better job in this respect than Hurst (an eye-wateringly low bar, admittedly). I don’t know — the atmosphere at PR was extraordinary last season, and I think he was largely responsible for fostering that.
Although I also think the fans lost the plot, probably feeling a bit guilty about MM, going gooey over “getting the club back”. Very meek, Town fans, happy with low expectations.
So actually, that’s probably something we didn’t need at the time.
It’s by the by, really. His job is to win football matches and there can’t be many managers out there with a worse record than Lambert. |
I fear you're crediting Lambert over Blue Action here. | |

That's because you still imagine his job was turning a bunch of failures into promotion winners over night. If other clubs don't want them there is little else that can be done than wait until their contract expires.
And is not so much whether Lambert is the man to sort the club out - it is the blind faith of those on here who are in denial. Their thought is that we just need a magic man and bang all is well again.
Totally ignoring the 15 years of failure, totalling ignoring the sorry state of the club.
My main point is that Evans sees Lambert as the man to sort out the dreadful mess the club has become - and no bedsheets or whinging is likely to change that.
You cann't polish a turd - and we have far, far too many turds masquarading as players.. Watch the goal from yesterday and so much that is wrong with our squad is their to see. |
I think this is giving Lambert an astonishing pass.
The team top of this division made £5m profit on transfers this season and have no stadium. How's that for "polishing a turd"?
From game 14 to game 36 in this division, we've got fewer points per game than everyone bar Tranmere and Southend. Bolton Wanderers, who had to assemble a squad from whoever happened to be available in 2 weeks, who took 2 of our cast offs, have done better than us since November. Gillingham, for whom a borrowed Ipswich cast off is a star player, have taken 38 points to our 21 in that time.
No denial here that the club has deep problems, but one of the big ones is an owner who can't make obvious decisions like dismissing the worst manager in League One. |  |

4) Not instilling an effective style of play in a season and a half — we still plod around with no decisiveness, just as we did when he came here
5) Changing tactics from game to game
6) Making 5/6 changes in consecutive games
7) Instilling a culture of failure (which, to be fair, the fans have largely gone along with)
There are more, but you get the idea.
I like Lambert and would loved it to have worked, but by any measure he has failed and should have been gone a few weeks ago. There’s even an argument that, looking at it coldly, the end of last season would have been right. |
While there is bound to be more squad disruption in the summer, with players out of contract (none of them players that we desperately need to keep IMO) & a need to cut the wage bill, I don't want Lambert to be reshaping the squad as I see next to no evidence that he has any idea how to build a team with a coherent style of play or even bring on the young players. |  |

He's been here around 18 months, too many times we've seen he isn't a good coach. I actually like him as a bloke and really want him to succeed.
Time to cut the losses and try another route. |  |

'I didn't come up with the phrase, I just use it'. Much better.
Does it surprise you that all we could attract/afford was injured or unfit players?
Mick used plenty of journeymen keeping us in the Championship after Jewell. I didn't have a problem with that. It probably became a bit more of a gripe later on, but it was needs must at the time. That's why I don't hold much against him for the style of football that season. [Post edited 10 Mar 2020 12:01]

Difficult to cull when a) the players he has inherited are cr4p, and b) under contract. |  | | |

He offered new contracts to Chambers, Kenlock, Bishop, Downes, Woolfenden, Lankester, Dobra, Wright and Sears.
He brought in Holy, Norris, Earl, Wilson, KVY, Garbutt, Judge, Norwood and Keane.
That's 19 of the 28 first team professionals currently at the club.
3 of the 4 strikers, 7 of 8 defenders, all 4 goalkeepers, 5 of 12 midfielders. | |

Totally agree. Last seasons abject surrender as unacceptable but quite bizarrely accepted by too many. |
Have an uppie from me. |  | | |
