The issue for me is that I am unsure he's got what we need 'right now'. We are in the mire - a team lacking identity, players confidence shot - the actual quality of player and overall squad is as poor as we have seen for sometime. Our new players are really struggling to adapt to life in this division. What we need is a manager who can get a team playing as unit, creating something much better than the sum of its parts. Create a real sense of unity and togetherness and mainly purpose - all without being able to make wholesale changes to the current playing staff at this time. I am not sure that Lambert fits that mould to be honest - what we need is more akin to a Warnock (or a Mick - not advocating going back to him) for example. Lambert can get teams playing football, which is great and had he had the summer - might well be a decent appointment - my fear is, we are asking him to firefight and that's not his skillset. Hope I am wrong. | |

I hope he doesn't forget what made him successful by bringing in young players and doesn't fall into the buying premier league players like Jewell did. Im far from convinced by him he's had one really good spell where he had the eye of the tiger but hasn't done much of note anywhere else. Saying all that i hope he rams my words down my throat. | | | |

Did a decent job at Blackburn but I think he left Wolves in around the same place he found them. Was very poor at Villa and possibly most worryingly he did absolutely nothing to halt Stokes slide out of the top flight. I know we are a division lower than Stoke were and you could argue this is more his level but I'm not convinced he's the man to turn it around. Hope I'm wrong though and I'll support him anyway as we need to do whatever we can to survive this year | |
