I agree, especially on the injuries. Also had the 'surprise' factor and

players playing out of their skin largely due to Lambert but also because it was all new / adrenalin etc

I'm also not that surprised lambert hasn't taken Villa higher. Him & us were just perfect - circumstances of the coming together and everything.

he's not s**t by any means but I don't see him as being a genius with another club

        read it dickhead: Foul started to take place outside the area = free kick (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:39:26
        
        apologies you are right. Top rules knowledge Dennis! (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:45:55

    - We're struggling from Championship-standard player syndrome (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 18:53:17
      - we played three deep central midfielders at stoke (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:00:39
        
        OK but that's just 1 game (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 19:08:35
        
        true but in most away games we created loads and scored (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 19:12:48
    - He's doing what he thinks is necessary to survive. Time will tell if he's right (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:45:45
      - yes most managers will try to implement what they think (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 18:49:54
        
        He should get judged on the whole season IMO, not August - Dec (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:52:53
        
        Have we seen the 10 game run first XI since? (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:52:14
  - Shit negative tactics, negative outlook, and playing for a draw master-plan (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:43:03
    - Any manager worth his salt... (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 19:19:27
      - we were capable last season (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 19:25:40
    - He's doing what he thinks he has to do this season to survive. (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:44:47
      - Given we were 7th? at Christmas, how has he let this happen? (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:51:08
        
        We got to 7th with the same approach!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 19:13:10
        
        not played the same XI since... Actually got more defensive. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:28:04
        
        Mainly because of injuries (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 19:36:43
        
        rubbish... Whitaker has hardly played since even when fit. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:46:26
        
        largely thanks to beating arsenal and man u (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 19:22:33

        He signed a striker... Hardly a sign of more attacking football. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:08:50
        
        And the Striker revealed what Hooton had told him about other targets (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 19:12:51
        
        hoot had targets this season but hasn't done us much good (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 19:26:27
        
        january is always difficult to get in the targets that you want (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 19:31:21
        
        i agree january is difficult (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 19:44:15
        
        You know nothing about our budget in the summer. (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 19:49:55
        
        well of course it was fucking available in the summer! (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 19:55:10
        
        Jeez. So you don't think that in january, with the position we were in (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 19:56:33
        
        no hoot will have had a budget for the season (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 20:05:48
        
        If you really think he had ?7/?8m still available in the summer and (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 20:10:25

        lol are you retarded? (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 20:26:39
        
        You're the deluded one I think. He got in Kane & Kamara but didn't opt for them (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 20:32:06
        
        fucking hell it was in the context of having loads of money to spend!! (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 20:36:07
        
        I can read properly, sadly, it seems it's you that doesn't understand the meaning of (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 20:39:34
        
        you're so fucking stupid it's scary (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 5, 20:49:08
        
        Oh good, so you finally accept my point from over 90 mins ago. (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 20:51:41
        
        sorry, got. I wouldn't mean to be rude by saying 'git' (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 20:52:10
- it's just a bit of perspective (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 5, 18:31:57
  - The 10 game run seems to have been a season saving blip... hopefully (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:41:20
    - People yesterday were complianing that he doesn't mix the teams up enough (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:42:59
      - Was glad to see team he put out yesterday (NCFC) - Pragmatist, May 5, 18:50:17
        
        nonsense. They were just more clinical. We attacked as much as them (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:54:09
      - Over the season he hasn't. Still he has failed to put out the side that performed so well. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:46:07
        
        He's not imcompetent. If he were we would be marooned at the bottom and relegated already (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:47:20
        
        He may as well not be on the sidelines unless we go 1 down. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:48:19
        
        Why not? (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:48:41
        
        no matter what is happening in the game he does nothing (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:49:40
        
        whatever (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:53:28
        
        Go on mate... find one, a nice attacking substitution when drawing (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:55:13
        
        Subs aren't everything a manager does on the touchline you know. (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 18:56:57
        
        Well we never change our tic tacs do we. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 18:59:01
        
        Why? You're just guessing that it was because he was being negative (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 5, 19:02:16
        
        was a free kick (NCFC) - phrankin, May 5, 19:01:34
