Does anyone really care about this? The signing of Ward was met with positivity. Would anyone drop him for Kenlock?

It seems this is more about Judge being ineffective than the average age of the team.

Sorry Dolly, not suggesting you've disagreed with any of the above.


Yep. It's weird, but not unsurprising, that people have jumped on this.

Anyway, I've made my case.

I'd agree with you about Judge being ineffective, but that's a side issue.

The idea that Lambert doesn't play youngsters and is filling the side with ageing players is ludicrous and doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I did, but since when you're on here around 30% of the posts on TWTD are you arguing with people it makes the board harder to follow when those posts are missing.

Why do you feel the need to describe valid opinions as "nonsense" whenever they don't cohere with yours? Given that Lambert has never started the three players you mention together and has generally found a place for Nolan when fit, I don't see any basis for your labelling my post as "nonsense". I think you should apologise to be honest.


Nope. You've attacked my opinions often enough with similar or worse.

I stand by my opinion that Lambert wouldn't drop a fit and in form Dozzell or Bishop for Nolan. In fact he gave Dozzell and Bishop particular praise recently.

I'll let others decide if your assertion is nonsense or not.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

There's no way Lambert's picking a fit Nolan instead of a fit Bishop or Dozzell. Nonsense.


Except against Doncaster when he brought Nolan back into the team after he returned from injury at the expense of Bishop?

You see your argument's failing so you think, how can I twist it another way?

It's not about what he's signed. It's about starting players. Clearly both of Hawkins and Norwood won't be playing. Same with Holy and Cornell. Wilson wouldn't be starting with other centre halves being fit. And you've avoided mentioning loan signings because they don't fit your narrative.

Why would he sign loads of permanent youngsters anyway? We have loads already! If he had done you'd bemoaning him blocking our own youngsters!

And we don't have the funds to buy several promising youngsters. KVY was half a million. How many of those type signings would ME sanction?

Basically, attack whatever Lambert does. Rinse and repeat.


So just to be clear the context I've introduced isn't appropriate context? Damn, I'm not very good at this!

It's very hard to argue that those four wouldn't be the spine of our team if they were all fit. 'NoT a sHrEd oF eViDeNcE' straight up ignores the fact that Downes and Wolfy were our best players by a distance last year and Dozzell and Bishop have easily been our best players this year.

I don't like a lot of Lambert's team selections (Judge, Huws and maybe Nolan get far too much gametime, mucks about with keepers too much) but I don't think he'd rest the team's best four players.

Also struggling to see how replacing 35 year old Chambers with 24 year old KVY pushes the average age up, unless Lambert decides to play Chambers at centre half instead of Wolf and Mcguiness, both of whom have been playing really well.

I would suggest the idea that Chambers, who has been basically ever present under Lambert, would be dropped is far more unrealistic than the idea that he’ll start that midfield 3 when he’s literally never done so. One of Judge, Nolan and Huws, or quite possibly 2 would be in there judging by the lineups that he’s actually fielded

Funny isn't it? You get upset at me calling your opinion nonsense but you've twice called mine Trumpian, which to my mind is far more offensive!

Anyway, the pile-on has started from the usual suspects so I'll bow out now. I think I've stated a pretty good case. The fact that you've all avoided the point I've made several times that we probably have the youngest centre back pairing in the entire football league, hasn't gone unnoticed.

Intelligent people will notice though, I'm sure.

You can't cherry pick evidence from "starting lineups that Lambert has actually picked", Joe, only from hypothetical ones that he hasn't.

Ok, but when has Nolan been rested - this is a player who you think it is ludicrous that he’s possibly start ahead of Bishop. We aren’t talking about Brett McGavin here - Nolan is a player the manager clearly wants to play every week

Lambert's actual selections and actions aren't allowable as evidence in this debate unfortunately, you're only allowed to talk about what he would obviously hypothetically do or not do.
