Good minutes also for the returning players. Tuesday is when we see exactly what our level is though. [No it isn't — Saturday is. Probably a good thing] [Post edited 16 Jan 2021 17:02]

Desperately needed these 3 pts with no-one above us losing | | | |

We haven't won a game and convinced since Blackpool but, if we are to assume Evans is only going to sack Lambert if/when promotion becomes impossible, I'll just take any kind of three points because we need to get up now and worry later. Really grim 90 minutes though I agree, match fitness the only mitigation but all clubs have their issues. | |

I'd assume the sack would come when we drifted away from top 6, rather than being impossible - I don't see a point coming in next 2 games. Who knows when trigger will be pulled | |

If we lose the next two then it simply has to be. | |

The table will still have us in contention surely | |

And Crewe away after that I can’t see that being 3 points. Surely just a matter of time...... Hope he doesn’t wait until it’s not possible to get top 6 | |

Yes. God knows. It's just a catch-22 situation given the need to change manager but above all we need to get those points on the board so all I can really think to do is move on from today and see how we look vs Posh. | |

Needed to win that, so will take it on 17:20 - Jan 16 with 672 views | clive_baker | I'll take the win, because we're at the stage now where we need them, so happily tick those off. Good to get the points on the board, good to get Downes and Bishop back in there, and Norwood. If we win our game in hand we're 1 point behind Hull in 2nd. Few big games coming up now and it really is high time we dispatched of those divisional rivals. We've got no excuses now. The issue really is Lambert isn't the man to take us forward. The win is great in the sense it would give a new manager a strong platform off which to start, but ME hasn't got the boll0cks to dismiss Lambert so it's a moot point. [Post edited 16 Jan 2021 17:22]

Quite. Winning when playing badly is only the sign of a good team if you often play well and win. Playing badly every week and occasionally scraping a win is a sign of a bad team. | | | |
