What I find so incredibly bewildering and disrespectful, is that the youngsters were told to come down for what is essentially a CHARITABLE photograph for the NHS, and then told they weren't in it.
How in any way could this be "tough love" or appropriate in any way? It is alienating and rude. Just incredible. |  | | |  |

The team photo looks socially distanced and spells NHS. Were they snubbed or could they just not use another 5 players? | |

The missing 5 would have made the S look a damn sight better... |  | | |

But they were invited down, and it's hardly a challenge to squeeze them in. It is clearly deliberate. | | | |

It might be worth being 6 points off second after the first 10 games. Get rid of Lambert and give the job to Dyer. | |

He may have ask them to come down, but they were trying to make the "NHS" sign, and they weren't needed for the sign.
Possibly we want to go strong vs Norwich tonight, which is what I certainly would do against our rivals, but that obviously means you can't play tomorrow.

The photo and the U23s game thing are independent of each other. They could have still been in the photo and play the U23s match. | | | |

Most probably the players were confused and didn't know what position they were meant to be in .... |  | | |

Maybe he was concerned that they would pick up an injury during the photoshoot? |  |

But the photo was great, what I am saying is where do add 5 more players to the NHS sign without messing up that picture, because it was a fantastically well done picture.
I also guarantee it won't be Lambert dictating who stands where in a photo, and how many people would be needed to make the sign.

Facts aren't important in our post-truth, dystopian, trumpian, johnsonian world.
And that's a fact.

Be that as it may, it's completely indistinct who the players are from that distance, so there was no need for the lineup to entirely comprise the "established" squad was there? They also weren't involved in individual shots, so it's not much of a stretch to infer that this results from Lambert being a tactless tit. | | | |

There seem to be nine coaching/backroom staff in the picture. If they had too many people to make the NHS, I'd have ditched some of them. [Post edited 28 Aug 2020 11:29]

Phil has confirmed this isn't the case. They didn't go to Portman road for the photo. They were advised at the training ground they wouldn't be required for the photo. That's a big change.
I would still have wanted Dobs and El Mizouni in there to be honest.
This basically all comes down to how the message was delivered to them. And this we don't know. I'm not as annoyed as I was given its not as bad as it sounded with them not being dropped from Sat either.
Still As I say it doesn't seem right to leave out Dobra and El Mizouni. | |

Hurst did something similar to Folami and Morris in 18/19. His rationale was that it was to try and keep them hungry. Lambert has the advantage in that he's known everyone for nearly two years and can make these decisions based on a lengthy period of time, whereas it did feel as though Hurst walked in and said, "You're crap. You're crap. You're really crap! I don't even know who you are, but I'll bet you're crap too" from his first day onwards. |  | | |

Think the fallout from this is something. Looking at that photo i would have no idea who is, and isn't it, and i find it quite something that EADT have made something out of this.
Genuinely at no point did i stop to question who was in it, and i had no idea it was even our squad photo for the year. Much like new kit launches, who is, and isn't in it, really doesn't matter. |  |

Just think it's a story out of nothing, don't you? I'm happy to be wrong, and if Lambert has genuinely done this, then he is a tool. But i just don't get it. | |

What was more concerning was the report that the players had been told they wouldn't feature at Cambridge, but Phil has said that isn't the case. | | | |

I think it's symptomatic of his lack of man management, especially with El Miz and Dobra who were both around the first team picture last season and who both have squad numbers for the forthcoming season. | |

These five get snubbed for the photo, meanwhile Norwood can't even be bothered to turn up with his boots |  | | |

When I look at that photo another 5 people in it would make the letters N H & S totally unbalanced as it is the S is slightly out of line (taller) with the N and the H. I think removing 5 from it made sense |  | | |
