kick it off 1,952 Posted December 21, 2019 Real kick in the gut to lose after that first half display - deja vu after Sheff United game, but we're going down anyway (thank god) so it will be a better season next year - let's not all go on suicide watch over it.... at least we're playing better and it's not miserable to watch like it was a month ago. On the plus side, we aren't the scum. 1 win in 10. 7 shots on target in their last EIGHT league games COMBINED..... in LEAGUE ONE. Dropping like a rock. Nobody playing well. Agent Lambert is playing a blinder. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,561 Posted December 21, 2019 Not sure where you got your stats from, according to the BBC they've SCORED 8 in the last 8, 29 shots on target, and won 3 of their last 10 (all League One stats, not including FA Cup or EFL Trophy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted December 21, 2019 No wins in the last five games though, out of the top two and only 3 points ahead of the team in 7th. One game in hand doesn't mean much if you are not winning. It could be real problem for them to get promoted unless they turn things around quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Took them off a scummer's post - if it's wrong, it's wrong. 2 wins in the last 9 and out of the automatics - 3 points off 7th. 3 home wins all season. And now the natives have turned... Regardless of the shots stats, it's clearly all going a bit pear-shaped. Edited December 21, 2019 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,518 Posted December 21, 2019 There will be a lot of fans criticising Lambert at the next home match especially if things start to go against them early in the match. Last week he was critical of Suffolk and how slow life was! It won't have gone down well (and was a crass and stupid comment to make). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh? I have just witnessed over 120 minutes of superb footballing pace and skill played by almost certainly the two best club sides in the world. One of those teams,the winners actually, will be gracing the Carrow Road turf in the second half of this season in a Premier League fixture and you seem to welcome our relegation from that league and then lose our chance to play against the elite.

Last week he was critical of Suffolk and how slow life was! It won't have gone down well (and was a crass and stupid comment to make). About 40 years ago Bobby Robson said virtually the same thing. Before a derby game at their place he suggested that they just switch the game to Norwich to save us the trouble of taking over Portman Road. They made a lot of noise and destroyed us. Brilliant reverse psychology from Robson but Lambert doesn't have the players to back it up. They'll still be in League 1 next year and Lambert will be on the Costa del Sol counting his money🤑😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,164 Posted December 22, 2019 The stick Lambert is getting on TWTD is unbelievable. It's relenting as if the penny has finally, finally dropped that the man is a bit of a damp squib in management terms nowadays and relies mostly upon bull shine. It took time though. I seem to remember that when he was first appointed his main remit from the fans was to steady the ship until he was able to get his own players in in his first (winter) window. This came and went and made no difference and their willingness to swallow the PR totally continued as they were relegated without so much as a whimper. Will he be sacked if the Xmas period is a flop? I've lost count of the number of mangers that I hope Evans doesn't sack as the bad job they continued to do gave me please. Ditto Lambert now, but I have a feeling he will be hard to dislodge, nay even a tardigrade, as Evans seems to have pushed more money in his direction than he intended to and is probably now at the eyes closed, fingers crossed stage. A greater possibility is that PL will walk as he doesn't seem to like a hot kitchen nowadays and has pocketed his wedge. An excellent distraction from our own slightly self imposed failings.
