Unbelievable. I rarely call for a managers head, but Lambert must go now. To be worse than Saunders takes some doing.
I'm not a big fan of sacking managers but we need something. If we don't beat Rotherham or Ipswich surely he's done.
I dont think we will beat Ipswich away with the current manager and approach..Rotherham maybe if he is still in charge..IF our FOSUN owners know some football(even kids stuff will do for me) then they will sack PL earliest possiblle moment..and maybe we will remain in the chumps(did i just type that? i thought we were fighting for promotion)
What, you've given up on the playoffs??
Why are you calling for Lambert's head but never called for the other managers prior to this season to be sacked when they went through a bad run? I'm guessing here but I don't believe you even called for Saunders to be sacked after that stat you quoted. I don't understand why your viewpoint on giving a manager some time has changed so dramatically.
I was never really in favour of Lambert's appointment, but I think I said so at the time. Early results were not encouraging, but a very good January made me reconsider. Since then Lambert has just lost the plot.
Regarding the Saunders era, you are correct I did not ask for him to be sacked, but the big difference is we now have billionaire owners who have overseen the current situation.
Steve Morgan was hardly in the poorhouse.
This is why I would have Lambert gone by tomorrow, I'd use Mendes to get someone (anyone) with a bit of a name in till the end of the season on a huge 'keep us up' incentive. One more loss dooms us I think as we will be in total freefall, where as a new manager or new ideas might be enough to get us over the line. Totally lost faith in Lambert, don't often agree with Danny Mills but last week he described Lambert as a losing manager, pointing out his success with Norwich was a long time ago now in football, the choices, tactics and selections I've seen from him doesn't indicate I'd be happy for him to be in charge of a rebuild.Unless we get gubbed 6-0 or something on Tuesday then he won't get sacked this week. IF we lose on Tuesday and then somehow contrive to lose at Molineux to a Rotherham team who have one point away from home all season, then he might go.
At which point we'd almost certainly be in the bottom three with 11 games to go and having lost seven straight league games. Who on earth do you think is going to take that job?! You can forget someone like Rowett, why would he take the risk? You'd be resorting to the likes of the truly desperate like Steve Cotterill, no-one else would touch it. I don't see how that is going to help us.
