I personally think Lambert has lost the players. They aren’t playing for him (and subsequently the club) like they were. We have been average all season and are as high as we are because of how awful this division is.... but at least we had passion and effort at the start of the season.

He (Norris) can't possibly be in against Accrington, he's poor, as you say controlled large parts of the game and the stats kinda back that up.

AshfordBlue......, your very last sentence in the swear-a-thon post regarding the players required;
Quote:
“3 defenders, 2 f**king strikers”
End quote.

Does this mean two gay defenders are required?

They aren’t against him but they clearly aren’t listening to him.

Hands down we have the best squad in the league. I believe lambert is a good manager, however somthing is wrong and there is a disjoint somewhere. Therefore I believe the players aren’t hearing his messages, his guidance isn’t being followed. I don’t believe they want him gone however.... it’s more of an unconscious issue than a conscious one imo.

I had started to wonder the same in truth, though we are never likely to be privy to what goes on inside the club. HOWEVER, the businessman he is, i would highly doubt that ME would have awarded PL a lucrative new deal without due dilligence. He would have looked at our poor form, concluded on the potential causes. Nobody in their right mind would have extended that contract if there was ANY doubt whatsover. If there is/are potential troublemaker(s)/dissenter(s) within the squad, i expect they will have been told to shape up or be shipped out. Just my views of course. I think this contract award sends a very strong message of support and togetherness, one which hopefully will start to filter through to first team performances.

Aylesbury...... maybe they are listening to him. Scenario:

Luke Chambers : So boss, you want Garby pushing more forward every chance he gets and Skusey providing more cover across in that area?
PL: What? You wanting me to go? Cos I’ll go tomorrow.”
Luke: 🤷‍♂️

Thought we played pretty well today all things considered, with the right keeper in goal we probably would have won it. Impressed with Huws.
Agree, thought we played ok,they looked like they were at least trying.Had some shots on target to.

Norris stays on his line it’s no goal. PL can not be held accountable for every decision a player makes. Decisions have to be made on the pitch and Nottis got it wrong again.

I thought we played the better football on the occasions that any football was played. But our defence scares me. Goalkeeper error but we are probably fortunate that Wycombe only managed one shot on target (I think).

Still committing too many fouls, many in dangerous places but all conceding possession and allowing the opposition to regroup.

Huws had a decent first half, Downes was very good too. But in the second half we seemed less involved in midfield somehow.

On a serious aside. I'm not intending to start an argument - I agree with the edits made to the posts above, but:
If it's offensive to call a black player black ( a statement of fact but probably used as an jnsult), isn't it equally offensive to call a fat player fat?

I guess for one you could argue being fat is a choice or something that could be changed, but skin colour isn't?

In this day and age, whether right or wrong, it's a fact that you should be careful with language. I didn't see the post before edit, but I can't see any need for skin colour to be brought in to it.

Andy, EVERYTHING is offensive nowadays. Absolutely feckin everything. Let’s just thank the sweet mother of Jaysus, (no doubt also offensive) that AshfordBlue didn’t say fat c u n t....... because that’d be taking things to a whole new realm of feckin offensiveness.

I agree though. 🤷‍♂️

So glad you said “I guess” because this is indeed a guess. Some people, (I’d argue most people) are fat and medically cannot help it. Very much steeped in a medical family so not speaking out my rectum as normal.

In the Wycombe players case....... get on a diet you fat b*stard.

:lol: I agree inasmuch that I know people that look at a packet of butter and put on 10lbs, there's some definite unfortunate genetic sentences, but I'd also argue that if said person didn't and instead ate a calorie deficit they'd become slimmer!!

I myself currently have some nice winter insulation that I've created purely out of pigs in blankets...

To be fair though it is a one way thing because racism is a one way thing. There is no history of systematic discrimination and prejudice against white people therefore to point out unnecessarily that someone is white while insulting them is not a racist slur

Homer Simpson : Mmmmm, pigs in blaaaankets!

Ever heard of the “black” thing also supposedly causing mass offence but it was a positive statement.
College Basketball coach in America during press conference, under pressure as his team were not performing very well:
“Deeefence, isn’t working. Offence aren’t getting it done. Telling you, we’re gonna need more black guys in this team or we’ll be out of contention very soon.”
:lol: I still find it funny.
Everyone in the press-room gasped, shocked.
And....... he was sacked.

But it was a positive. Black guys play basketball better. It’s a fact. What is wrong with voicing that blatant fact?

Anyway....... Ricco....... get on a diet you fat bstd!

With all due respect, press conferences are part of Lamberts job. Maybe Norris saw Paul’s and thought, “oh well, fk it, if he’s no gonnae bother.......”

Just a theory,....... :lol:

It's a weird world, it's OK (I think) to point out the lack of white guys in the 100m final, but do the opposite in reference to the swimming pool and there will be audible gasps. We're all equal, but we're not all the same, the sooner everyone realises that the better.

Having said all that, I'm with Johnyb, there is a difference, and until you're the one that sticks out like a sore thumb, it probably hard to understand.

Sorry, sidetracked the thread.

I suppose at this or any level there are few unstoppable goals. Ours was a great goal it if we'd conceded it we would have criticised the defence. Equally there's was poor from our defence and keeper, but had we scored it we would have been commenting on the good finish,.

Can't make my mind up about the game, we played some good stuff at times but (as is often the case) didn't create through the neat passing. I think the strikers get isolated, too far apart, and lack support from midfield. But individually most players performed reasonably well. And we had some good shots blocked or saved. Wycombe missed the best chance of all though so I think a draw was fair. Think I'd be happier watching our play than theirs which has to be a positive.

Onwards and upwards. Just hope at the end of January we still have Downes.
