Reply | So will people be happy with Lambert If he doesn’t win a game til January?
at 08:58 9 Dec 2018
To be honest this “fan forum” feels more like a joke every week. I appreciate my views aren’t shared by all and last week I said I felt Lambert was getting a free ride and people disagreed so I asked a follow up question here to get others fans opinions. It’s a FAN FORUM where we all support the same team and I’m just trying to understand other people’s views but instead I get insulted, told to crawl under a rock and called a cretin.
If people on this forum can’t have honest adult discussions and debates then I guess this ain’t for me and it’s not much of a forum. I’ll continue to cheer on the Town louder than most every home game but if people here won’t act like mature adults just because they disagree with someone’s opinion then I guess I’ve had the wrong impression of my clubs fans. |

Genuinely believe he is overhyped by fans because his name is Doz. Good young player no doubt not as good as some fans seem to believe. |

Serious question as I’ve said on here before I feel he’s getting a free ride based on results on the pitch but people keep saying “they’re not his players” or “wait til he signs players in January” so it’s a serious honest question:
Are you happy with Lambert even if he doesn’t win a game til mid-January? Despite this squad having a better record under Hurst?

He can be positive all he wants but if we go down and he has only won 1 or 2 games (or zero...) then i very much hope he isn't our manager next year. |

Every manager who takes over a club in between transfer windows doesn’t have his own players but what I’m saying is most clubs won’t settle for mediocrity due to that whereas we seem to be doing that.
And by January on this form we’re already going to be relegated. |

Thread | Lamberts free ride.
at 08:27 2 Dec 2018
I don’t get it. Comments on here saying “he is a good manager”, “it’s not his fault”, “I’m giving him a free ride”. Why?
He’s a good manager - is he? He was good many years ago. His last job was to save a team from Relegation (Stoke) and he failed and got relegated with a whimper then let go. Sound familiar?
It’s not his fault - yes I agree he doesn’t have a great squad but are we really going to let him off completely as the squad isn’t great? He hasn’t won a game yet! Even with a poor squad a good manager would scrape a win somewhere, Lamberts record is appalling. If nick played midfield 3 of Skuse, Chalobah and Downes at home to Bristol City in a must win game people would lose their minds.
Giving him a free ride - To me this is accepting relegation and mediocrity. “It’s not his fault, he didn’t buy these players, let him off”. So we’re just letting him get away with not bringing any points home? Why should we accept this? It’s a small club attitude and in the championships were not a small club.
I know this will get loads of down votes as people seem to think Lambert is the messiah but he has done the same in his previous recent jobs. Talked a great game, always talking up the fans but ultimately failed on the pitch. This is no different. |

Reply | I hear a lot about Paul Lambert leaving if we don't stay up
at 14:55 29 Nov 2018
To be honest it may be better for him to leave. If the squad and manager lose a lost of games and get relegated then they will go in to next season with the same players and manager and a mentality of losing most weeks. It will be hard to go from that to pushing for promotion.
Similarly though if Lambert starts grinding out wins and Town go down fighting then we should try and keep him. |

Thread | It amazes me some people think we arent going down
at 09:37 29 Nov 2018
Some people truly have their heads in the sand.
Two games ago we we're 5 points adrift from safety. No one in the history of the Championship has ever stayed up in that position. We are now 6 points from safety with 2 games less to play (7 points effectively due to the wort goal difference in the league).
Lambert has improved things no end but bottom line is he isn't bringing in points. Those saying "wait until January" we will effectively be down by then anyway as too far adrift.
I heard in the north stand on Friday "theres three worse teams than us"... not based on this seasons performances or results.
Im not saying this to get people down or have a go at anyone i just feel people need to be realistic here. We should always stay behind the players as no one wants to get relegated but people need to be realistic about our situation. |

8 shots on target in 3 games.
2 points from 3 games.
0 wins so far.
I really really really want Lambert to succeed and Town to go up but i genuinely don't get the love in. He's been great off the pitch absolutely but whats on the pitch is what counts. Maybe hold off on the love letters for now? |

Thread | Paul Lamberts easy ride
at 09:31 26 Nov 2018
The man is a PR master. Getting the old players in gets them onside, praising the fans, not talking about Norwich at all, showing clips of training on social media. It's made everyone buy in to him and what he wants to do and i want him to have huge success and keep us up.
But... 2 points from 3 games. Where the "new manager bounce" people talk of? Yes performances have improved but we're still not creating chances so we're better, but still a long long way off.
Ask yourselves also, if the old irishman we had in charge had played a midfield 3 of Downes, Chalobah and Skuse for three games in a row would you be singing his praises or would you be saying he is too defensive and not putting any creativity in to midfield? I think we know the answer most people would give.
PR genius. |

You say yourself a manager who had no wins in 10 games then say another manager deserves more respect for no wins in 2.
I know the numbers arent totally comparable but surely you can see a bit of hypocrisy and hindsight there?
Maybe when our "proper manager" wins some games we should all get excited but for now people just seem to be sticking their head in the sand about the fact we are huge favourites for relegation. |

Now im 100% behind Lambert, the team has improved dramatically since he has taken over. He has shown a connection with the fans and former players and is doing a great job of building a bond.
However, He has managed 2 games and has 2 points. West Brom on Friday, if we're realistic, it will possibly be 3 games and 2/3 points.
I am please with what Lambert is doing but some people are getting so over hyped by him and think they need to just calm down a little and take a step back. He can be an amazing PR man but that doesnt change anything on the pitch. Maybe we should wait and see how many wins we get over the next X number of games before brown nosing him too much?
Some people are getting far too in to a manager who has left his last 3 clubs within the first 12 months and hasnt won a game for us yet (early days obviously). |

Thread | we could have got 2 red cards..
at 08:00 4 Nov 2018
I’m not sure how many people saw these two incidents but I was in the lower north stand on the side of the co-op and in the second half I saw two instances were a harsh referee could have sent off two of our players.
First was Roberts, he was fouled tussling for the ball then stuck his leg up and went studs first in to the defenders thigh. Second was Sears a little later when pushed off the pitch he kicked out at a defender kicking him in the shin.
Overall I don’t think the ref had a great game by any means he was pretty poor but I do think we got lucky there especially with the Sears one.
(On a side note I didn’t see the Chamber incident where he got booked either, as it was off the ball and the player went down holding his face again another ref may have went straight for red). |

This thread seems to be turning in to a slagging off section a little but i feel the point is completely valid.
I have a season ticket in the lower north and i want to sing for as much of the 90 mins as possible but when i join in chants and no one round me does the enthusiasm soon dies off.
Maybe an unwritten rule needs to be spread where if you want to sing sit lower in the stand/higher in the stand and vice versa for those who just want to be there?
Yes the atmosphere is crap and people can say that all they want but without agreeing to some type of change then its never going to improve. Instead of calling people armchair fans, saying they can sit where and getting on their high horses or calling everyone who sings rowdy and drunk we should try and do something useful? |

Thread | Good managers should pick the formation based on the players available to them
at 12:58 3 Oct 2018
Several managers, pundits etc... (Carlo Ancelotti in his book springs to mind) state that a manager chooses the best formation for his team based on the players available to him and doesn't force his preferred formation on the team.
We do not have a target man, we have strikers who want to run in behind. We do not have wide attacking forwards, we have wingers who want to hug the touchline and cross a ball and not be in the box.
So why were are playing a 4-2-3-1 i have no idea. It isn't working, the players don't suit it, change things around. |

Thread | Lack of players supporting the manager is deafening
at 12:54 3 Oct 2018
Since the start of the season i cant think of any instances where players have come out and defended the new manager. Normally in these situations you get the cliched comments of "the new manager is bringing in some new ideas and we need time to adapt", or, "The manager has some new things he wants to try and we're learning it will just take a little time" but i cant remember any player saying anything like this.
I dont think Hurst has many fans in the dressing room and the constant changing, replacing players with loan players and dropping players of the year isnt going to help. |
