He won't!!
Remember Mcleish was on the same points this time 2011, so its hardly a massive achievement
He won't what?
In order for us to finish 12th our football performances would have to notably improve (our current style is going to see us struggle big time) so by default Lambert would redeem himself.
But we're 12th now with the current style of football with, arguably, easier fixtures to come.
So I'm not sure that really makes sense.
If we carry on playing the way we are we will be burnt out by feb, March, so not we won't finish 12th, unless Lambert has a little more faith in his team and we change the style.
Again Mcleish was 9th at this time last season an we finished 16th, with probably the same style. That wasn't the question though. The season is over, we've finished 12th. What would be your opinion?
