....it's pretty embarrassing for a vastly experienced manager to make such a big U-Turn with regards to the issue of rotation and keeping a similar tactical system across all games.
Amazing that he has, or is being, give the chance to turn round from last season whatever happens, or however long his leash is |  |

I think the main thing that grates for people is the clear inference that he's only changed due to the interference of a notoriously clueless owner. It's not showing his abilities up over well if Evans has been able to spot the main reason for why it's been such a pig's ear. [Post edited 4 Sep 2020 16:24]

I understand that, and if it's true it's not ideal. He had intimated that there would be less rotation long before these rumours about Evans interfering though. And it would seem odd that an intelligent man (in fact entire coaching team) would just keep doing the same thing that isn't working.
But my point was really to what Joe said in the OP. He either changes or he doesn't, and either way he gets slaughtered. |  |

Lambert needs to build up support again.
He had unbelievable backing. But he couldn’t manage his way out of a wet paper bag.
Now he needs to actually prove himself to be a manager that deserves to manage Ipswich. |
Agreed. How does that differ from anything I've said in this thread? | |

Listening to what he says, it seems as if things are a lot more relaxed amongst him and the squad than you would have us believe. |  | | |

Surely that more likely vindicates Joe given he is not going to come out and air such things, least of all right now as the season gets going and it jeopardises potential employment? |  |

I agree with everything you've said, apart from I think Hurst is our worst and I don't defend Lambert in every single post.
Now, how about dealing with what I actually posted? Am I not right in my reply to Joe? Whether Lambert changes or stays the same he gets abuse. True or false? |
FWIW, I do agree with your point about pretty much whatever he does now he will get criticised for it.
I just think most people are now fed up with him to be honest, not that, that makes it right to criticise him about absolutely everything. There’s more than enough things to criticise him about.
Just reiterating, it wasn’t a dig it all - just noticed you’ve been relatively vocal defending him and wanted to see your thoughts. |  | | |

You come across as more supportive and defensive of Lambert.
I know you’re just trying to be even handed.
But saying he’s damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t isn’t overly accurate. Not when he wasted the opportunity and support that he had.
Thus far, he’s a failure. We went down without a whimper, his remit was to get us back up straight away. He never settled on team or formation.
It’s been pretty poor really hasn’t it? |  |

I'd like my 2 downarrowers to explain what I've said that's incorrect here. |
I didn’t downvote you because you were wrong, just that I find it very odd that you seem desperate to find an angle that doesn’t criticise Lambert on pretty much every post when it’s abundantly obvious he is a poor manager by almost every single measure available | | | |

It has, and I don't disagree with anything you've posted. But again, none of this has anything to do with the point I was making. With Joe's OP, Lambert can't win*

So you're not actually bothered what I posted here, you're just downarrowing me because I've supported Lambert on certain things?
The truth is, I don't particularly back Lambert. As Newcy says above, I'm just even handed. | |

Well said
For me he's got to earn our support as last two seasons were a disaster in almost every thing he did. He is supposed to be a very experienced manager but you wouldn't have guessed it!!
He started earlier on to try and build up from the back but soon gave that up and reverted to hoofing up to two short clueless forwards, well short by comparison to the defenders making them. We could all see it but PL just carried on regardless!
I can't see it getting any better. Where are the goals going to come from? We need 2/3 quality loans and get rid of those not up to the task. |  | | |

I don’t see what the issue is though mate.
Lambert doesn’t deserve the support. He’s wasted the opportunity he had.
The u turn he has made is embarrassing for someone of his supposed calibre.
He had to make a similar one last season too if I remember correctly. He was rotating our momentum away.
It’s not like Lambert has been in the job one month. He’s been here almost 2 years.
He can’t win, he’s got a lot of work to do. I don’t think he’s the man for the job. | |

I'm just hoping he has a poor start and then resigns. Trouble is i don't trust ME to find anyone half decent other than keeping the existing coaching staff without PL | | | |

He's not, the blokes a clown that should have been sacked ages ago.
No one can defend the indefensible, not even Dolly, his record speaks for itself. |  |

I think the big issue for me is Lambert is acting as though this is very obvious when he spent the entireity of last season taking the complete obvious approach. Holding his hands up to the errors would be something but he's acting like they never happened.
The key concern for me is not the rotation, which I think will have to happen this season due to the large number of games in a relatively short space of time, but whether he constantly changes formation and style. Rotating is fine if the players know the roles they're supposed to fulfil. | |

Oh no, wait, when there is an official team photograph to put on their wall which includes every Ipswich Town employee!

So you want us to have a poor start. Call yourself a fan. I hope we win every game . If we go up and Lambert is still the manager I couldn't give a toss. It's about Ipswich Town Football Club not PL. |  | | |

Now he needs to actually prove himself to be a manager that deserves to manage Ipswich. |
I wonder if he had the nous to sit the whole squad down together as a group pre-match and say something along the lines of "look, I know I've made mistakes in the past but let's now wipe the slate clean, go with a fresh start, and unite to get ourselves promoted" ?
I'd certain have more respect for him if he did that or something similar. |  |

Totally disagree.
Lambert adapting and changing his mind should be applauded if anything. You’re never too old to learn. Stubbornness is the last thing we need from him. |  |
