The only notable mistake Lambert has made, in my opinion, was leaving Bent on the bench again on Sunday. Puzzling move.
But I don't see how people can have too many gripes with him.
We wanted two new fullbacks, we got them. We wanted a holding MF, we got one. We wanted a CB to replace Collins, we got one.
We also have a team that plays a better brand of football than last season's horror show.
I think we're in a similar situation as Liverpool, actually. New, young managers trying to implement a new system with many young players. Their results have been as poor as ours, but they are playing decent football, like us.
I can only see them improving, and I feel the same about us.
