thejoker Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Let's just look at the last two months for Lambert, I'm seeing little to get excited about here Blackburn 2-0 Norwich Norwich 1-6 Man City Tottenham 1-2 Norwich Norwich 2-2 Everton Fulham 2-1 Norwich Norwich 2-1 Wolves Newcastle 1-0 Norwich Norwich 1-1 Wigan Stoke 1-0 Norwich It's the results over a season that matter, not just a small selected period. Norwich have 0 'Premier League' players, yet they are comfortably in mid-table, with any other manager I'm certain they would have been relegated.

thejoker Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 ^^ He's made his name (in management) in England though, so why does his Scottish nationality affect his ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Chill out pal. The point being made was that there are good Scottish managers. I think their accent scares players into playing well (McLeish being the obvious exception) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 He's also played under one of the most successful managers of the modern era. His management career to date suggests he might have picked up a trick or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why you always use small selections of results or even individual games against these managers. I don't know what it is but you seem to have something against the managers of the "lesser" clubs. Just because they come from smaller clubs doesn't mean they couldn't do a good job at Villa.

chappy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Let's just look at the last two months for Lambert, I'm seeing little to get excited about here Blackburn 2-0 Norwich Bburn 1-1 Villa Norwich 1-6 Man City Villa 0-1 Man City Tottenham 1-2 Norwich Tottenham 2-0 Villa Norwich 2-2 Everton Villa 1-1 Everton Fulham 2-1 Norwich Fulham 0-0 Villa Norwich 2-1 Wolves Villa 0-0 Wolves Newcastle 1-0 Norwich Newcastle 2-1 Villa Norwich 1-1 Wigan Villa 2-0 Wigan Stoke 1-0 Norwich Stoke 0-0 Villa So in what has been Lambert's worst two months in the PL as his side has tired, we have got exactly the amount of points in the corresponding fixtures.

pacbuddies Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 We should just avoid Scottish managers They dont do well in Aston I'll just refine your statement: We should just avoid Scottish managers called Alex McLeish. They don't do well in Aston. There, that's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their accent scares players into playing well (McLeish being the obvious exception) Fair enough, and Moyes is an excelent example of this. I should have known that my choise of words would offend some people but is was meant lightheartedly. But after being burnt by MON coming from Scottish football (Celtic), and McLeish i'd like us to try something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycombe - League Cup semi (drew 1st leg 0-0 with Mourinho's Chelsea), Norwich - taken a mid table League 1 to mid table Premier in 2 years...he is proven!

VillaRoy Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I just picked the last two months games No agenda, Norwich will go down next year put money on it Lambert is this years Coyle. I recall 12 months ago Coyle was the best thing since sliced bread on VT Did Coyle do back to back promotions from league 1 and championship by winning one league and going up automatically in the other as well as do extremely well with the team he got promoted with (which wasn't given a chance in hell)? No he didn't. And tbf, Coyle ain't a bad manager. Joined Norwich after beating them 7-1 with Colchester. He then won that league with Norwich.
