the style is far too slow in build up, needless passes ,defenders caught with the ball and allowing the opposition to run on when balls passed to players facing our own goal or waiting for the ball. too deliberate ,little flair . |  | | |  |

I have this image of George Burley on the touch line urging his players to speed up the tempo of play. I have never seen Lambert do that! | | | |

It's slow because we have no quick ball playing wing backs, no outlets wide, you're not going to run through teams.. [Post edited 31 Jan 2021 9:51]

During a break in play, Artell was giving his team instructions while Lambert just sat there and our lot stood about. Speaks volumes about him and us. No passion whatsoever. |  |

Yes, passing for passing sake. No real plan, no urgency. Supposedly inferior teams can put 4 or 5 passes together and be in our box - it takes us 20 or 30 passes to get into an attacking position and that's on the rare occasions we manage to get that far.
Under Burley and Robson we always looked to get forward with intent - intent to get the ball into the box, create chances, unsettle defences and score - that's all I want to see - a little bit of hope that we can score, we can fight back and we might actually win and not just fade out of a game where a League One team holds us at arms length comfortably avoiding our pitiful jabs.
Watching Burley's team play you could see us maintaining pressure on a team, pushing and probing with quick, incisive movement untold they finally broke. Even if we went behind I always felt we had a way back into it, could step-up our game, someone would lift us - Magilton with a cracking pass or shot, Mowbray causing chaos from a corner or a Holland piledirver. I never feel any of that now - teams can sit back knowing we dont' have the nous nor the energy or drive to break them down. That's why I can't watch Town now - we aren't even competing - so there's no hope.

A far cry from when he used to run up and down the touch line. Lambert just gets bored, history has shown us that at all the clubs he’s been to. |  |

One of the best moments yesterday was when Kenlock took the ball and actually ran with it, breaking most of the way up the pitch. |  |

Needless passing sums us up. I hesitate to call it a "style". It might seem to someone who hasn't watched us before that we are carefully probing to find a killer ball. This never happens. The result of our probing is usually either a belt forward to no-one. Or we change direction and begin a second series of needless passes back to our keeper [who then hoofs it to no-one]. |  | | |
