I think it's fair to say we already had some very good players for League One

without it detracting from the job Lambo did.

Who knows what would have happened had we not had some of them already? Colchester and Wycombe fans weren't exactly full of praise for him and his signings. Nor are Villa fans now.

Sometimes things just click..

        I guess people need to feel that Lambert was shit and we got lucky with him leaving. (NCFC) - megson, Apr 4, 18:20:59
        
        Can we also agree that Lambert's got a better squad than he inherited (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 18:26:51

        draw and defeat... (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 4, 18:20:13

      - crikey fucking carruthers (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 4, 17:41:21
      - I think that's rewriting history a bit! Lambert was brilliant over the 3 seasons he was (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Apr 4, 17:20:23
        
        I think the club was brilliant over 3 seasons...not just lambert (n/m) (NCFC) - promethian1, Apr 4, 17:22:17

        lambert was to us like mourinho for porto (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 4, 17:25:21
      - I agree, and Lambert's last buys have not been great. I said when he left that I thought (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 17:18:40
      - "also inherited a very good squad" (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 4, 17:16:59
      - he inherited a dreadful squad with no self belief (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 4, 17:14:41
        
        Villa-esque? (n/m) (NCFC) - promethian1, Apr 4, 17:19:46
      - when did lambert inherit a very good squad?! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 4, 17:12:52
        
        Holt and Hoolahan - the two key players in the L1 season. (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 17:19:51
        
        yes 2 players make a squad (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 4, 17:21:46
        
        Not saying he didn't bring out the best in them - he did. But his limits as a football (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 17:28:41
        
        Except he does as we scored more points in the second half of each season he was here. He (NCFC) - megson, Apr 4, 18:19:53
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Apr 4, 20:02:38
        
        he should have stayed here to develop a bit (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 4, 17:33:18
        
        The people who mattered were already here... Lambert never bought them in (n/m) (NCFC) - promethian1, Apr 4, 17:13:52
