"Whether you think Lambert`s brand of tough-love made sense in his all-too brief tenure depends largely on if you think watching football is about winning games at whatever cost or getting partial towards specific players.

Lambert came to Colchester United to get results, laying out the team and tactics he alone designed, while flying in the face of flimsy and ever-changeable community opinion. Fandom was for others - hence why he was rarely seen at PR functions and avoided an appearance on an all-new flagship radio show."

        you can't blame the results on the fucked off fans, board or press (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Aug 20, 17:42:16

        Everything was purposely used against him, from loaning Cureton Barnsley (NCFC) - pants, Aug 20, 17:36:58
        
        Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lupoli was very obviously not happy under Roeder. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 20, 17:38:26
        
        Some of the players he brought in obviously liked him (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 20, 17:30:42
        
        I didn't like him nor respect him but only after I saw him in his pomp at the AGM, If I (NCFC) - Lovely old Fengibbon, Aug 20, 17:41:22

        He could have loaned them Curo- that would have fucked em (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 20, 17:23:27
        
        agreed - my only real issue with Roeder was he had no idea how to turn us around (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 20, 17:23:25
        
        We were losing games narrowly, but creating chances without the forwards to score them (NCFC) - pants, Aug 20, 17:28:59
        
        "forward he couldn't get because the board didn't give him the money buy one good enough" (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 20, 17:32:42
        
        FWIW, I actually think Roeder would have done a better (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 20, 17:32:01
        
        i don't think he would have done, i don't think we'd have capitulated at Charlton (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Aug 20, 17:53:48

      - He does sound a very dour man. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 20, 17:09:54
        
        So was Worthy (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 20, 17:13:24
