Syteanric 1 Posted December 19, 2009 Bench Warmer and his loan is up early next month... is he going to want to sign just to get splinters up his jacksee when he is a first team regular at Swindon?if he doesnt play in the next couple of matches should we just cut our losses and send him back?

king canary 8,757 Posted December 19, 2009 [quote user="IBA"]Is your middle name knee jerk or just jerk?[/quote]He has a point. I was surprised that he has been used as little as he has, at 3-0 up I would have expected to see him get 10 minutes, but Lambert does not seem keen to use him.

Mister Chops 7 Posted December 19, 2009 I think we''ll sign him in January regardless of how much time he gets on the pitch before then. Lambert''s clearly a fan from days gone by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted December 19, 2009 I am sure he wasn''t brought in just to make up numbers. Waste of money bringing in a loanee not to play him.So my guess is that he is part of a longer term plan, and just can''t get in the team just now because why change a winning side?I am guessing that once we tire of the diamond and switch to 4-4-2 he will feature.

taintedtom2000 0 Posted December 19, 2009 As a team we seem to be alot fitter than most of the teams in league 1. I should imagine Lambert will want him up to his own standards before giving him a start. Not to mention the fact that the way we are playing at the moment Ronaldo wouldn''t get in the side! lol!

John 0 Posted December 19, 2009 Concerned, cos i think we need him, despite him having not made a full 90 minutes in a yellow shirt yet.A fast winger with the ability to provide as good a cross as any in this league seems perfect for an alternate system. He''s a far more valuable member to our squad than Cureton, Otsemobor or McVeigh, despite having equal wages with them at the very most.I''d strongly urge we keep him, and i feel the club have the pulling power to do so. I just hope a few hours on the bench won''t disenchant him with such a prospect open to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted December 19, 2009 Am surprised at the lack of pitch time McNamee has had myself and no mention of why this might be from Lambert as yet.If it is purely down to fitness levels then surely Lambert should be making fans aware of the situation?I think it is a very good post from Jas and a question that many fans have been asking lately.

Wesbian 0 Posted December 19, 2009 Lambert said when we signed him: "I then saw him again when I was at Colchester and he was quick, and hehasn''t lost that. So I''m glad we have got him in and he gives usanother option."If we''re beating a team like Huddersfield 3-0, why does he need to try this other option? It seems to me that it''s more of a long term signing that will benefit the squad rather than bringing him in to have an immediate impact. Especially if we bring in another winger for the other side as well, such as that good bloke from Barnet. I imagine come the end of the season, he''ll have had a few games under his belt to show what he can do, but unless we stop winning, it seems needless to change things.

Use him or lose him. I think the reason why he hasn''t played is because Lambert seems to forget about susbstitutes!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted December 19, 2009 I''m sure he will be used over the coming weeks being that the festive period is such a busy time. Pace could be crucial with oppo players becoming tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted December 19, 2009 Lambo forgets about substitutes? That''s a good one particularly as what happened today.It seems to me Lambert doesn''t need too much advice from the like of us lot on this board.I''m sure McNamee has been targeted for the long term and, as said elsewhere, for options. I could be wrong but i think he new the situation when Lambo signed him and sees his future here. His time will come.Hopefully we will sign one or two in January which will mean a few more bench warmers but that''s the way to build a successful set up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There''s been a lot of talk of Adomah, and maybe Barnet want to hang on until January in the hope of a Dutch Auction.Either way, I totally agree with you that Lambert will know exactly what he''s doing and will make the right decisions (God, when did I last feel like that about a City manager!)
