The cosy atmosphere in the dressing room 08:25 - Mar 17 with 1678 views | GlasgowBlue | Let’s be honest here. Lambert wasn’t sacked for poor results. He was sacked for speaking up against Evans. Had he kept his gun shut he’d still be in the job. When he left the club we were in a decent run of form bar one woeful performance against Northampton and there was never any indication that the okayers had stopped playing for the manager. None of the above is a defence of Lambert. But it must have been an odd position for the players to find themselves in. A group of players who had seemingly turned around a poor run of form, knocking on the door of the play offs with games in hand over some of those above us. And the manager gets sacked. How many clubs sack a manger in that position? It’s just seems that the change of manager has upset the momentum. I dint doubt that Paul Cook is going to be a success here in the long run. His recent record is far superior to that of Pail Lambert. But I can’t help thinking that we should have let the season run it’s course as things were. |  |

The cosy atmosphere in the dressing room on 10:22 - Mar 17 with 178 views | Darth_Koont | The games before and after Cook have been pretty similar so far. Accrington was the same as Gillingham and Fleetwood. Just that Accrington were 10 men and that helped us get over the line rather than get outplayed and beaten. And Plymouth was the same as the other wins – we had our moments but we weren’t that convincing. Even allowing for the fact that Gill seemed to have more to do with the team, we’ve also continued with the main shift of playing Nsiala and Watson and playing Parrott and Norwood/Jackson through the middle. So any suggestion of an unwelcome disruption seems way off. We still needed Cook to come in and hopefully make us into a better team. But mostly to try and put an end to 2.5 years of aimlessness and low confidence. |  |
