This is bonkers from Lambert 10:37 - Feb 12 with 1858 views | StokieBlue | “If we weren’t creating chances then I’d think ‘OK, we’re not creating’ but we’re creating things and things are happening, we’re on the front foot, dominating things and should have had more out of today and Saturday, that’s for sure.” We don't create anything and nothing happens. That is the entire problem. I have no idea what games Lambert has been watching this season but they don't seem to be ours. SB | |

This is bonkers from Lambert on 10:39 - Feb 12 with 1840 views | Herbivore | Watching the highlights from last night there wasn't what I'd call a clear cut chance for us. Norwood one on one was probably the closest but his touch took him too close to the keeper. That said, I'd expect a decent striker to have taken one of the three half chances that Norwood had. | |

And we didn't 'create' that, Norwood nicked the ball from a defender for it. The other half chances were from corners. We have created next to nothing in open play for 5 games, bar a couple of half chances against Sunderland | |

This is bonkers from Lambert on 10:45 - Feb 12 with 1790 views | LankHenners | Obviously there's a lot of over-analysing bland manager press comments in football but it's a genuine worry Lambert believes what he says. It's like he's completely out of ideas and is just going through the motions repeating the same soundbites all the time. All the crap about 'maybe we're better away', 'maybe we're better chasing' etc. is a total failure to face reality and do something about it. He's sitting on a very comfy contract and is content to make weak excuses and shun responsibility. | |

Yes, I did notice that pretty much all of our chances came from corners. Depressing stuff but utterly predictable when you have 4 CBs and a defensive full back on the pitch, plus a midfield trio where two of them tend to prefer sitting in as their first instinct. | |

Even last year when we were bottom it was constantly; "we are playing at a really high level" etc. He chats sh*t every single time he is front of a camera, means nothing, judge for yourself on the pitch would be my message. | |

To be fair we did 'create' one chance with the through ball to the penalty area that was saved going into the top corner by their keeper. This from 90 minutes of play against a side that was not exactly from the top draw. TBH, PL is insulting our inteligence more and more with his post match comments. We all watched the game, so why does he come out with some of the stuff he does. Why not say it was not good enough and we are working on changing it. Why keep saying 'we should have had more from the game' bla bla bla. Do football managers actually become delusional? or is it everyone else that is mad? | | | |

I suspect a manager might suggest that was created in the sense that it was pressure on the defenders which led to the error. Certainly Mick would I'm sure! Putting my tin hat on, I thought we created more than has been suggested in the second half last night without ever pummelling them. As you say, most were the result of set pieces, but that's probably inevitable against a side which was so defensively-minded, and in open play there were the two chances Downes talked about when Jackson got in behind, which were decent opportunities. Certainly however you look at it there were more than enough chances to have won the game. | | | |

Is that where we are now though Phil? Two chances from open play against, lets face it, a really rubbish Wimbledon side. This is League One, it's surely getting harder and harder to defend Lambert and the performances given the context. We weren't away at Leeds. SB | |

Mick wouldn't have had to make out that was a good chance created because we'd be midtable in the Championship if he was still here. | | | |

Wimbledon aren't a great side but they're organised and difficult to break down, which we know from years of taking a similar approach ourselves can pay dividends, particularly against teams lacking a bit of confidence. Even so, I thought we had more than enough chances to win last night's match. | | | |

1 Goal from open play in 6 games back's this up. | | | |

I think you're giving Lambert a fairly easy ride here, they are poor and we were awful. They aren't that hard to break down, everyone seems to score 2 against them except Peterborough and a very poor Southend side. Last few matches: - Fleetwood - 2 goals - Accrington - 2 goals - Burton - 2 goals - Peterborough - 0 goals - Pompey - 2 goals - Southend - 1 goal - Oxford - 2 goals They had 1 clean sheet in the last 12 matches before last night. I agree we should have put the game to bed but realistically we should be creating enough chances to win these games more comfortably. As it stands we have to score every chance as we are unlikely to get more. SB | |

I was going to post similar, but then noted that they had kept home clean sheets against Peterborough, Wycombe, Portsmouth and now us this season, which does lead some credence to the idea that they’re quite resolute when setting up to stop the opposition I still agree broadly though, we were nowhere near good enough | |

Against a team that is defensively minded you don’t need Cole Skuse sitting in front of three centre backs. With a more creative player instead far more chances would have been made increasing the likelihood of us scoring. | |

A team like that needs players running at them which leads to defenders committing themselves and either being out of position or giving away dangerous freekicks. We didn't have anyone who could do that yesterday. We had Skuse passing it in triangles with the back 3 whilst Wimbledon got themselves organised and thus very difficult to break down. SB | |
