We have no identity, no plan, no cohesion and no idea how to break down teams that defend or are physical. As someone else said, it feels like we are second despite Lambert not because of. He deserves a lot of credit for reuniting the fan base and repairing some of the damage but for months now we’ve looked like we were heading for this kind of run of form. We are now at a crossroads. Evans backs managers. Absolutely no chance he’s getting rid of Lambert. But Lambert seems like a Mick light. If this continues then good will is going to diminish and we could take a number of steps back as a fan base. He has to pick a system, pick a style, work on it and start allowing the players to form partnerships and allow us to get a bit of consistency. We are continually being undone by well drilled sides who know their job whilst looking like a bunch of strangers. We are second. It’s a great season so far. If you jumbled the performances and results up we’d all be thrilled to be at Xmas with 3 defeats! But the run of form we are on is deeply concerning, home form is very poor and Lambert simply has to have a good think about where he goes from here. The fans will turn if he doesn’t as our season unravels. | |
