Dobra, El Mizouni, Ndaba, McGavin and Drinan 08:48 - Aug 28 with 22504 viewsitfcjoe

Turned up for the team photo yesterday, told that they aren't in it.

Then subsequently told that they won't be taking part in the Cambridge friendly on Saturday and will be playing for the U23s tonight against Norwich instead.

Tough love? Or just an indication that they aren't going to be involved very much and we'll be going with same senior players again.

From what I hear there has been a massive change in what the team was going to be yesterday compared to what it is now today

Yes too many 'proven' senior wasters who had relegated us without a fight and finished 11th in this league, agree with that. But how on earth can you say : 'lets judge Lambert after a few games'. Hasn't he had enough time? It's been nearly 2 years.

He'll keep waffling about Leeds and Sheffield Utd long spells in this league as an excuse for his own ineptitude.


I don't think we've got any choice but to give Lambert a few games. It would be really weird to sack him now.

I bet Bloots will downarrow this.

It'd probably be the right call though, even if not ideal timing.

"No God given right to get promoted from this league" etc etc.


Don't know what your point is as I'm talking about something else.

Lambert has been using this excuse number of times last season after some bad performances. He isn't willing to admit his own mistakes as he thinks he means something good as a manager.

It would be really odd timing, and possibly Marcus's most bizarre decision yet, unless something drastic happened behind the scenes.

I hope you know, I'm not actually convinced Lambert's the right man for the job? I've stated a few times, I'd be totally in agreement with you about getting the Burley/Dyer dream team in. I'm just pragmatic. It is what it is at the moment, and we have to make the best of it and hope Lambert comes good (or falls on his sword and whoever comes next comes good). I honestly don't care, I just want SOMEBODY to come good.

I bet Bloots will downarrow this.

I like Watson, but his grammar isn't the best there (especially for someone who writes for a living).

Well obviously which is really the key point here. The manner of it being done may be up to debate but those 5 were clearly chosen for a reason, which means it was either a deliberate motivational move or that they are currently way down his thinking

If it’s the former it seems questionable to me but hey, let’s hope it works, but the latter seems far more likely and is a much bigger concern as it’s difficult to see how anything is going to change from last year with the same faces - particularly going forwards

They may have something to say about that but until one of them proves they can stay fit for more than 5 minutes and another shows they are fully recovered from a very long layoff then it seems fairly fanciful

As for Hawkins I’m actually hopeful he can provide something different but this is a player that has scored 15 goals in 88 games in league football in his career

Meanwhile we’ve lost Luke Garbutt and Will Keane who respectively had a hand in 9 and 7 of our 46 league goals last season

But yes things will definitely magically change

Ignoring the semantics the reality is its pretty clear that the modern footballer, young ones especially, live in a very different world to 30 years ago and this sort of harsh treatment almost universally fails to work.

Every one of them will have some form of agent who will simply now try and force a move away to somewhere where the manager isn't a proven archaic failure.

I thought someone like yourself wouldn't pander to such crappy over sensationalised journalism, surely logic dictates that the U23's is a competitive match where both sides would like to win the match and the five young lads will benefit more from playing 90 mins of that game instead of bit parts in a friendly to which no one really cares about the end result!
