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.

What are your views on Lambert dear Jerseys? Genuine question, I don't know, except that you have generally been supportive for a lot longer than me :)
I'm pretty patient re football cos I understand I'm not an expert. I give the benefit of the doubt simply because I know I should doubt my assessment of the situation. I didn't scoff at the comments in relegation (from Champ) season about playing some "better" football. I thought we did. And the cataclysmic disaster of Hurst kind of gave Lambert a free hit in my eyes. Helped by his good PR. I certainly didn't slag him off for his good PR, it was a good thing.
I can't deny what I see though. Since our good run at the beginning of last season (and we only played "well" on occasion imo) it seems obvious. I get there's been some bad luck, e.g. KVY, but that doesn't hide the blatant incompetence of tea, selections and tactics, and the defensive drivel that crept into Lambert's pressers. He sounded delusional.
Occam's razor = he is, or has become if you prefer, a totally incompetent manager. |
I'm not far off you to be honest. Although I think "totally incompetent" is a bit strong, and I have no evidence he's poor at making tea. |  |

I was going to edit the team typo but thought I'd leave it to set up that comment ;)
I'm okay to remove "totally" btw. |  |

Totally incompetent seems a fair description. He's utterly hopeless as a manager. |  |

Well no, because he's has success in the past. So he can't be TOTALLY incompetent. | |

What he's done in the past is irrelevant, we're talking about him now as the manager of Ipswich Town. He's been utterly hopeless in that role, totally incompetent. | |

I agree with much of that - his record is just not good enough and his documented actions re: team and formation selections appear to have done the opposite of getting us competitive.
I believe it was Mick that said you will make good decisions and bad decisions and the trick is to make more good than bad. It's pretty clear that Lambert is on the wrong side of that.
Which all makes it a bit bizarre that situations like the photoshoot are misrepresented. I think that risks taking it into much more subjective and personal areas. But they're just not needed to make the objective case that Lambert needs to do much better (sooner rather than later) or he needs to go. |  |

Not really relevant. Lambert has unlikely forgotten what made him successful. The current Ipswich has nothing in common with the successful Ipswich other than the name. It's not the same entity. | |

Whatever Lambert may have had as a manager in the past it's patently obvious he no longer has it. Pretty much everyone can see it. | |

Our last 5 managers have won promotions in many places so each one of them must be a success (kind of) , eh?
Lambert is an utter failure but he won't go due to his long term contract. [Post edited 30 Aug 2020 16:46]

No. Because "totally incompetent" and "a success" aren't the only two states one can be. | |
