Should Town change their manager? on 12:08 - Nov 26 by rugbytomc
I think there should be a wait and see option. Bear with me...
This season he introduced 433 and a possession based style of play. It takes time for players to adapt to a new way of playing. Given time and less injuries to our key attacking players (Edwards, Bishop, Dozzell, KVY) and having our best defensive players fully fit (Woolf, Downes) then I believe we'd become better at how we play this style and grow in confidence especially in attack.
The questions begs why has it taken him so long to get here? Why does he say the academy needs to play like the first team when actually I think the academy have been playing possession passing football for years but then the first team haven't.
I admit it is hard to see 2/3 wins and the performances coming in the next 3 games, but what if they did?
The other side is - whoever we bring in to replace him, can't change the personnel. We cannot sell 3-4 players or even give them away for free and bring in a killer striker and (another) new full back or wingers, because of this stupid salary cap!
If someone else comes in - personally - I would stick with 433 but only ever play Edwards, Lankester, Dobra or maybe occasionally Sears or Jackson, in the wide roles. I wouldn't play Judge or Huws full stop. I'd tell them to attack attack attack and when they don't have the ball close down rapidly and make it hard for the opposition to find room. Surely that would be enough to get us going? Can't Lambert see that? Would Cook or Dyer or anyone else do exactly that??
It goes way beyond that though. He's so far off the mark with his press conferences and analysis of the games- if he is being so lenient in the dressing room it is creating the wrong kind of mindset for the players to be in.
The way they left the pitch vs Hull is a great example of how poorly the players are reading the gravity of the situation. If we fail this year then our expectations of being in the championship become more of a lottery, let alone the delusion of being in the Premier League.

I'm looking forward to the follow up 'Do bears **** in the woods?'
Although in fairness, I suppose there may be some people who think he's doing as good a job as he can. Hopefully they will leave a comment to explain why.
He's not a great manager. We also can't do much better and the majority of the clubs problems do not relate to him. We keep going round in circles on this, it's Evans fault, not Lambert. Change manager all you want because nothing will get any better until Evans changes.

Paul Lambert is of a mindset where change is impossible. They should get rid.

I don’t personally believe this - how is it ‘not Lambert’s fault’?
Ultimately, we go up or down based on the points we win on the pitch, and that is (mostly) down to the management and coaching staff. Of course Evans appoints them, and that is where his responsibility and failings lie, but he is not responsible for our inability to perform at this level.

It's not Marcus Evans that's coached a terrible style of football into the team, is failing to motivate the players or keeps insisting on picking Alan Judge, is it?
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

"Change manager all you want because nothing will get any better until Evans changes."
2 years ago when we were mid table in the Championship under MM I would have agreed with that statement, but where we are right now it is simply not true.
I'm not exaggerating to say that I could have set up the team better than Lambert did against Hull. It was so blindingly obvious to everyone what was going to happen it was ridiculous, well to everyone except Lambert that is.
There can't be many managers in the professional game that could not do a better job here than Lambert has, he simply has to go.

Evans can be blamed for many things but not getting promoted last season is completely Lamberts fault. This seasons impending failure is down to Lambert too.
My main gripe with Evans at the moment is the fact he hasn’t sacked this clueless fraud.

Phil, if you get enough data, please present this stat to PL as a vote of no confidence from the fans and remind him predecessors like Jewell and McCarthy had the dignity to resign.

A the moment it's quite the damming verdict from the TWTD gang. And looking at other ITFC social media outlets, it looks like the same consensus across the board.
If he's lost the fans, then I can't see how his job is tenable.
