...it's pretty clear that Lambert is putting the heat on Evans for more financial support and quality of players, and that so far we've not been blessed with talent wanting to sign for us. If this pattern continues through January, I'm prepared to wager that Lambert will quit before the end of the season. |  |

Certainly looks more and more likely. Will be able to speak more on that come the 1st February though. |  |

He has resigned from clubs before where what he considered necessary financial support was not forthcoming. Tho not previously in the middle of a season. |  |

Indeed, if Evans doesn't at least attempt to back Lambert, he will walk in the summer, I am almost certain of it. |  |

Would he quit though? I dunno. that would be 4 failures on the spin for him and quitting a club fighting for its' life is never a good look. If we go down he can easily avoid the majority of blame and he may fancy a crack at L1 to try to rebuild both his and our reputation since both are in need of it.
Plus I imagine he is on a very good screw from Evans. |  |

He will have known what budget was available when taking the job - unless he quits and is publicly stating that the goalposts had been shifted then his reputation will undoubtedly take a bit. As it stands he’s won 3 of his last 29 games as a manager across 3 clubs - hardly likely to be a queue of teams to take him |  |

I do wonder though if Evans was expecting a better return on results under Lambert and is in my opinion rightly calculating the realism of staying up and therefore what finance to provide.
For example, would you hand over a load of cash if you knew 99.9% it was a complete waste to do so.... |  |

Agree. I think he'll realise the extent of the financial constraints this month. Compound that with the difficulty of recruiting when bottom and seemingly surrounded by general downbeat sentiment. I'd be surprised if he's still in here in the summer but hopefully we can keep him. |  |

I said some time ago if he is not backed in Jan he will be gone by Feb. This was before his recent press conferences which have only served to add to it. The key in this is whilst he still thinks he can save us, once that has gone and it’s not even going to be close than he will go.
People say he won’t get another job well it will reflect just as badly on us and replacing him will prove to be very tricky. | | | |

I’m certain that the budget discussed before Lambert joined is not the budget being discussed now. There’s no way he’d have taken this job with a verbal assurance on money being made available, and the early indications seem to be that due to our position, the same money is not about now. I’m certain he’ll walk if we don’t at least look to be giving it a good go. In fairness Keane and Elder are more of the same as we already picked up in the summer. He’s dead right about the club being broken, and he’s clever enough to spot that the fans are angry with Evans as opposed to Lambert, despite his terrible start. Once it appears that he’s getting the blame instead of the owner, he’ll be off. | |

We are now a week into January and PL is now probably struggling to get his way with the money man... |  |

I think Lambert wants to be here and is showing that he sees us as a long term project. This is the start of a desire to rebuild us from rock bottom. Put yourself in his place ... The challenge of restoring our reputation even if it does involve having to do it from League 1 and the kudos he would gain if he manages it must be firing him up. Of course, the unknown aspect is Evans and the financial backing. However, I think these comments are the start of him really getting the bit between his teeth! |  | | |

But is/was he being realistic in expecting Lambert to dramatically turn things around with the squad at his disposal between November and now? | |

....would be the day he quit.
It's looking more and more likely with each passing day. |  |

Dramatically turn things around no, but what is it, 2 wins in total?
I'm a firm believer of Lambert, but that's not to say I don't feel he has got some things wrong so far. | |

No - but more than 6 points from 11 games and closer than 10pts from safety was
Unusually Frimley actually has a point there - quite possible that Evans may be looking at the position now and thinking it’s too much to overcome | |

It's not though, if we beat Rotherham.
7 points is not a massive gap. It's difficult, for sure, but the other teams at the bottom are also dire and i'm not sure I agree that we'll struggle to get decent loans in like some are saying. Saturday really is key though. |  |

Sadly though, so was the game with Millwall, and those before it. Everytime we come into the ' this really is a must win' we lose the damn thing.
I can't see us winning Saturday, unless Lambert pulls 2 or 3 players out of the air this week | |

Millwall was a key game. I think this is the first genuine must win game of the season though. I haven't used the words must win until now. | |

I agree - but may not be how Evans sees it | |
