arbitro 9203 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I watched Stanley beat Charlton last night and they were excellent. The tempo, intensity and work rate was first class and Colby Bishop, who scored both goals, looked like a proper striker. Huge credit to John Coleman for assembling an attractive team on peanuts. On the evidence of last night our main local derby next season could be against Stanley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DE. 12102 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Lambert has been attacking the media for a couple of months now, going so far as to ban one journalist from the TWTD forum from attending press conferences. So, not a surprise to me that they are snapping back at him. Not sure this will make much of a difference as far as Evans is concerned though. Edited January 25 by DE.

Ewood Ace 4678 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Lambert was a good manager until he took the Villa job. That job seems to have destroyed him and ever since he lost it he has walked around with a massive chip on his shoulder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DE. 12102 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 9 hours ago, chaddyrovers said: why won't Evans be concern by this? Not a great image for the club? Lambert has done plenty of things in the last year or so which haven't been great for the image of the club. He's even aimed a few barbs at Evans himself. I don't see the newspaper piece doing much. Evans did an interview a couple of months back where he took a veiled dig at the fans with the old "be careful with what you wish for" line - going on to suggest that he shouldn't have caved to fan pressure to sack McCarthy. Remember that Lambo only got handed a new 5 year contract a year ago, despite doing a pretty poor job at the time, so there's obviously something there that Evans likes. He sees Lambert as a long term project, although if they miss out on the playoffs by a wide margin again this season I think he may be left with little choice but to admit defeat and make a change.

Doubt we'll ever see a similarly ballsy piece in the LT though. As for Lambert, he doesnt seem to have changed much since he was here, says all the right things but the performances and results under his watch don't match the spin. At least he didnt insert a get out clause at Ipswich then walk out when things didn't go to plan. Probably realises his stock is going lower and lower with every job he takes.

bazza 1649 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Blackpool winning 3-0 at Wigan and the scorer of the 3rd goal has a very strange surname. From Mortensen to Virtue-Thick! Who thinks up these surnames? Loftus-Cheek and now this. They are getting stranger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

only2garners 1678 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Two very impressive result for Stanley and Morecambe last night. Stanley beating Hull, who were top of the table at kick-off. They are 4 points from the play-offs with 3,4 or 5 games in hand on everyone above them except Doncaster. Morecambe won 2-0 away at Exeter and are now in the third automatic promotion slot. There are a couple of teams with games in hand behind then but still impressive given their resources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
