"Following his exit first-team coach Matt Gill has taken on Henry's warming-up duties at the last two matches."
1st team coach, with presumably no sports science or fitness background is leading the warm ups.
In those 2 games, we have lost Freddie Sears, James Norwood and Toto Nsiala to muscle injuries.
Put aside any feelings and views on Lambert - that is an utter disgrace. Non league teams have people with a fitness background running their warm ups for them - it's not the 70s

Can anyone else name a Premier League or Fooball League club where the fitness coach is currently working from home? Truly bizarre.
I'd fear for Andy Warren now, he'll be the next to be excluded from PR based on saying Henry left following disagreements rather than being for 'personal reasons'
But having a fitness coach work from home fot a football club who has an ongoing jnjury crisis is laughable. Honestly we have turned into a laughing stock.

Marcus Evans is utterly incompetent at running a football club. Feel like the focus on the budget often distracts from that and we'd probably be better off with people running the club who were poorer but less useless.
Time to aim our anger at Evans then, I know there's hardly a line of billionaires who'd like ITFC but we could force change if we made him look like a complete tool to the wider world and he'll have to make moves to protect his image.
I find it no coincidence he took his name off the shirts the season of our relegation. I think he knew what was coming!

Wow, that's actually an incredible story!
Fits in with this:
I mean you only need to listen to the bloke for 3 minutes to realise he's infinitely more intelligent than Lambert.
I said it the other day and I really don't mean to be rude by it but I think Lambert just isn't very bright. He doesn't know how to manage or how to lead, he doesn't have the emotional intelligence or technical intelligence to manage football clubs, quite frankly. He's a busted flush. It's not all about money, there are a whole load of better options that would command a fraction of what Lambert is on.

Exactly right.
In that 3 minute video, Cowley had me watching on his every word. Engaging, articulate and switched on.
Lambert is a glorified cheer leader.

Agreed. The most erudite managers are those who had a pretty non existent playing career eg Wenger, Rodgers etc. Critically they’ve learnt how to manage people and performance rather than relying on the fact that they played for Dortmund once.

This one is good, about their FA Cup win at Burnley whilst non-league, just little tactical anaylsis like understand both Left Back/Left Midfield were right footed on the day, and were drifting in field naturally.

We definitely need a smarter choice that considers the context of the structure they're operating in. We need grafters in those roles that will get their hands dirty. Control freaks.
Your ex. Villa & Wolves, ex Champions League winner really isn't the right fit. Aside from him being absolute dog sh1t, he's not engaged enough, not hands on enough. There are parallels between ITFC and this government without wanting to go down a political rabbit hole. Massive leadership vacuum at the moment.
We need a back to basics approach, sleeves rolled up management team in there ASAP. Managers of the club, not just the team.
Edit: Mentioned the other day one of our players who I was with recently told me he's not had a 1 to 1 with Lambert in 2 years. He's a senior player this season. 2 years, no 1 to 1. Really can't get my head around how we can have such a distant management operating in this structure.

When players walk past the manager in the corridor he looks at the ground and walks past them.....there isn't a relationship between the players and the manager.

Where the hell is ME in all of this? Surely he must know what's going on.
I just don't understand. Supporter morale must be at an all time low (which is a special accomplishment) and it's still radio silence. We don't even have someone like Milne to trot out to give platitudes.

He's running the club, that's where he is.

It's the same in every industry - being technically proficient in the field shouldn't be a pre-requisite for being a manager, but it often is. Being able to manage and specifically manage people effectively is an entirely different set of skills. And in modern working environments, the carrot and being emotionally switched on is more powerful and effective than use of the stick.

Would be so refreshing here.
I've often thought I would love a journalist to ask Lambert the following question on the Thursday press conference:
"Who in the opposition side are you focussing your pre match attention around" or perhaps more directly "name the Oxford lineup for tomorrow". I would be so interested to hear his answer as he blustered some BS response. I wouldn't imagine he could name half their side. He's going through the motions, not in the slightest bit into the detail I would wager.
No of course not. Marcus is just apathetic and doubling down on his mistake not calling Lambert's bluff a year ago. And again, needs to take some sharp advice from someone better than whoever he listens to with regard structuring a modern football club. If he is unwilling to do this, he needs to feel uncomfortable. The Trust is weak. TWTD is better. We should also inundate the EADT with demands they run the same kind of thing they did against Magilton, but aimed at Evans. It's a local scandal.
You can still blame Lambert if he's managing all on field affairs though... unless Marcus/Lee literally told him to do one when Lambert asked for an interim fitness guy.

Make some very good points - going through the motions, not in the slightest bit into the detail, no desire to be here anymore.
Can't remember if it was that interview, presume it was where Cowley talks about studying the opposition and he states : 'it's nonsense that managers don't study the opposition, when you are going to war, it is crucial to know what opposition has at their disposal, are you up against tanks, guns, pistols. Where are the oppositions strengths and weaknesses'.
Would be a breathe of fresh air to the place. One problem, Marcus Evans.

Cracking video that. He could quite easily be talking about Ipswich instead of Lincoln there.
That's why I think he's tailor-made for this job. That and the fact he does have some kind of Ipswich connection, given that family members support us.
Depressing. He will go elsewhere and we will struggle on with Lambert until a panic sacking in March.

Can anyone imagine if their boss did this to them?
Well, actually, having said that my old boss did. And everyone thought she was a cnt. She is no longer in position. Hopefully Lambert will follow.

wish it was the 70s . no injuries of note, sir bob in charge, Wembley around the corner and most of all i would be in my 20s. also speaking on the 70s there was no sports science to mody coddle the players. english teams had no problem winning the European cups .
And yet people are going to attend and "support" this shower at the next home game.
If you have not realised all Evans cares about is the money. Cut off any funds going into him for rest of the season and watch how quickly he then reacts.
That is the only way. And for everyone saying oh but that will finish the club - so what it is almost dead anyway?
Sometimes you have to force their hand, like Chartlon fans did.
Emails to the powerless O'Neil will achieve nothing.

It'll cost the club money letting people in.
I imagine those that are going will be season ticket holders, and I'd be very surprised if they weren't fairly vocal on what a shower of shÃt the current situation is.

That one observation is more important and more damning than all the inflexible formations & stubborn player selections & tactical ineptitudes & bull5hit interviews added together.
If that is accurate (and I have little reason to doubt it), it's a f**king disgrace and an utterly untenable position that needs to be terminated immediately. There's no way back from that, and no possible argument for allowing it to drift on.
