Has Lambert lost it?

Recommended Posts

Four defeats in a row now and Wolves dropping down the table after a home defeat to the awful Birmingham.

Maybe Norwich City was the best thing to ever happen to Paul Lambert? A symbiotic relationship which both have struggled to recover from, but it looks like our club is bouncing back rather better than the man himself.

Really interesting to see the current fortunes of both Lambert and Bruce. Whatever your opinions of AN it shows how difficult management in this league can be, and therefore I guess how well Hughton has done since at Brighton too.

Agreed GB, perhaps the board see things the same way. Perhaps they aren''t as daft as some people think....

Lambert has lost it. No suprise its been since he lost his 2 right hand men. Been in a relegation fight since he left us. Think he will continue to slip down the footballing ladder. Can see him being outta work before end of the season.

Lambert will recover and prove his unarguable abilities as a manager ,, but when he is able to do what he did with Ncfc , build a squad with hungry players . Not even Ranieri could get two years from players who feel " entitled" .

The only mistake our board is making right now is to believe that "coco" Neil will ever be able to get consistent performance from our squad .

Sometimes manager and club just click and everything works. Lambert had extraordinary success here but can''t replicate it elsewhere. Just as it seems to have clicked for Hughton at Brighton while it didn''t happen here.

Lambert took a side too good for league 1 out of it then rode the crest of a massive wave in the championship.

He left before he got found out.... but then isn''t that what a savvy manager should do?

Redknapp and Allardyce are 2 examples

but theyre managing at different clubs.....the more relevant question is "would Lambert and Bruce be doing better with the squad of players at Norwich than Neil is"?

.

my suspicion is "yes"

Jamie Witherspoon - Bit odd to suggest NCFC struggled to recover after Lambert considering we''ve spent more seasons in the Prem than out of it and spent more money and been in a better financial position than ever before.

But ho hum, I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion...

Loved the time under Lambert, but he did get lucky. Took over a club far too good for Div 1, had the benefit of a Grant Holt on fire, load of momentum. Worst mistake he made was leaving for a "bigger club....". He has left Villa far worse off than when he joined, did the same to Blackburn and will do the same to Wolves (which I am pleased about). He will clear off to Germany in the lower leagues and disappear never to be heard of again. From all accounts, not a nice man. A good ride when he was here, but found his level?

Seriously?

Load of momentum? We had just been hammered 7-1 at home in our first game at that level for 50+ years. He had to create that momentum...

Villa are a basket case club - bigger managers than Lambert have failed there

Left Blackburn in a worse position than when he found it - no he didnt...

Will do the same with Wolves - who knows, hes only had a couple of months or so nobody knows

Clear off to Germany in the lower leagues? We all know thats not true...

[quote user="im spartacus canary "]Lambert at Norwich, Ranieri at Leicester ....2 perfect storms never to be repeated by either clubs or managers.[/quote]Except that Lambert at Norwich was arguably a repetition of Walker* at Norwich.*First time round and arguably inhereted Stringer''s good work.

Culverhouse and Karsa were massive for Lambo while he was here with us, they really were an integral part of the machine. Without them.. well the results speak for themselves.

Karsa was without doubt the mastermind behind Lambert. He had a photographic memory and could recall every move from every player in the league. This gave him the ability to provide Lambert with the blueprint for every opponent. His grasp of detail in match preparation was second to none.

As for Lambert himself, well it''s the curse of Norwich isn''t it? It is doing to him what it did to Walker, Machin and Bond before him.
