Lambert's reason for not playing Saiss is nonsense. I mean, you don't drop a guy before he goes off, any more than you don't drop a guy before he starts a three match suspension.
Tex is on his way, in my opinion. Too lightweight for the Championship, and we are giving Bright a chance too.
Man of the match undoubtedly the Bristol City defender Flint. I don't know whether it was instinct or sportsmanship, but all credit to the lad.
If we are looking for a striker, what about their Tammy Abraham. Strange first name, but looks lively, and a well taken goal.
If 3 new players are to come in, 8 probably have to go. Most likely in order :
Borthwick Jackson, Gladon, Ola John, Wallace, Silvio, Evans on loan, Texeira, Ebanks Landell, and a surprise sale of either Iorfa, Hause or Mason.
Views ?
Absolute disgrace for Lambert to say that Gladon isn't up to Championship football, when :
1. We only recently paid a mil for him.
2. We'll clearly be trying to sell or loan him in the next month
3. He's basically putting the boot in to the lad's future career.
Some things are best left unsaid.
One of the luxuries of a big squad should be to do some rotation on midweek games. It was fairly obvious that after running his arse off on Saturday, Edwards could have done with being rested.
He's no world beater, but in hindsight a fresh Price would have been a better option.
Let's see what...
All these things will come. But we needed a period of stability after the mad rush in of Portugese players and Italian coaches. Once Lambert is ready, axes will fall.
Desperately disappointing, though, to get outplayed by Cardiff.
We have no choice but to stick with Lambert, at least until the...
I remember a cracking 2-2 Stoke Wolves FA Cup tie I think the year we got to the semis against Spurs. That was in the days that we had cup runs.
At least when we lose we can focus on finishing lower mid table.
I liked the way that Lambert dealt with Cav when he subbed him. Nothing like a good hug. If Lambert can get the dressing room on his side, it will be a big help.
One player I have to hand it to is Edwards. Great goal, and a rather skillful turn to almost score another. Amazing how he's raised...
I can't understand why people are slagging off Bod.
If the team don't create any chances for him, how's he supposed to score a goal ? I keep saying that we need 2 up front - the last time we looked dangerous was the brief time Afobe and Dicko played together.
Cav, Dicko and Bod should all be...
In hindsight, the crazy rush by Fosun to bring in players, and to hastily appoint Zenga, was just that - crazy.
Yes, the old guard needed replacing, but do it gradually. It's hardly a surprise, and nobody's fault, that Zenga, the Italians, and the Portugese led to a divided dressing room...
