lambert wants to play his preferred way which seems to be 4,2,3,1 which in theory is fine but unless teams come on to wolves it appears that he doesn't have the players to make it work. the cup games showed that wolves can counter attack effectively but if the majority possession is in wolves favour they look totally lost with that formation. time to be pragmatic, abandon the ideals and survive.
although he may have been a naughty boy i can't understand why we should shoot ourselves in the foot and leave hause out ( more ideals? ) .
why leave out enobakhare? he looks more skilled than those selected, let him play up front off the striker. why can't saiss play a holding role, he's supposed to be a tough tackling, quality player- his style is needed.
why were williamson and marshall not playing against birmingham, both were on the bench and so i presume fit. it doesn't make sense, williamson is star defender ( when he's fit) and why buy marshall if he's not going to play.
everyone will have a view and they will probably all be different but come on lambert what you are doing isn't working!

I completely agree it's Lambert way that's annoying me loads. Sack jimmy at the end of the season get Rowett in he should be able to get us up.

Totally agree. If fit Williamson should be the first name on the team sheet - his leadersip and organisational skills are the only chance we have of keeping a clean sheet.
Similarly Saiss - a regular international - at least he can tackle and pass the ball even if he lacks a bit of pace.
Up front surely the likes of Bright, Wilson and Gibbs-White must be better bets than Weimann or Bod. At least they would add skill, pace and enthusiasm.

We have being sacking Managers regularly since Stan Cullis in fact you could say we invented the sacking of managers and where has it got us seriously where absolutely nowhere that's where and we have got to stop it and let the current man have an extended run at it we will not get relegated because there are 3 worse teams than us and it just will not happen because eventually it will all click in place of that I am sure I have seen worse teams in Gold and Black and they stopped up so have faith you are all supposed to be Wolves fans.

Everyone is mad at Lambert for going back to Jackett's rubbish. I can't imagine Fosun being too pleased, either. My guess is that he's got 4 more games to prove himself and if we are in the bottom 3 by then, he will get the sack and be replaced by Rowett (hopefully) .

Unfair to judge Lambert yet, he inherited a completely unbalanced squad, too many similar players, not enough spark or quality to change a game, so his tactics are battle hard and work harder than the opposition, which is fine when your not having 50%+ possession, but when playing teams like Burton Wigan ect. it doesn't work. We don't have players to dominate a game. They only player we have that suits domination football is Jack Price because he's constantly on the move and wanting the ball and moving the ball on. Edwards is'nt very good in possession he can't make a pass, works hard but doesn't suit domination football. Saville is terrible. Evans can't keep fit. Maybe Saiss and Price could work well together? Lambert needs to shake things up and try the youngsters. Cavaliero will help when he's back fit because Costa and Cav are a serious threat, and if . that's a big IF, IF Dicko has confidence back now after his goal it MAY be a turning point.
My Team for our next match
Ikeme
Iorfa Batth Hause Doherty
Price Saiss
Gibbs-White Enobakhare Costa
Dicko.

Jack Price is worse than Saville, Evans and Edwards in my view. Can't believe after all these years we are still arguing about these rubbish midfielders.
26 Feb 2017 10:22:32
Liverpool want Helder Costa. He has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave cut price if they get relegated this season. At least we get our money back lol.

I don't like to talk about sacking managers without them having a fair chance BUT did anyone notice Lambert look at his staff and bench and his face told you what he was was thinking "what the hell do I do"?
This was at 2-1 against a crap 10 man Brum side and with attacking players sitting on the bench giving him the option to go all out attack. Unfortunately for us he didn't do it - plain and simple he bottled it, he looked worried, he lacked ideas - he could have gone 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and changed a few players Saiss for Saville and Bright for Edwards who was AWOL or Weimann is supposed to be going forward with the ball but he made more back passes than most players on the pitch, Batth lumps more long balls than any player I've seen and the same with Coady, if Lambert can't snap out of this formation then at least try this line-up:
Ikeme
Marshall Williamson Stearman Doherty
Edwards Saiss
Costa Bright Bodvarson
Dicko.

When you weigh it up its Jacketts side who were not good enough, but in an better league position than we are now, before he was sacked.
To spend around 25 million and be fighting relegation tells me, we need a big clear out from top to bottom, and get rid of the person or persons giving these average division 1 players not championship players long term contracts, If and it's a big if we can stay up.
Also let's get to the bottom of this playing crap at molineux or should I say turning up at molineux because I cannot see the fans buying season tickets to lose to the likes of teams that are beating us, LAMBERT NO MORE EXCUSES SAYING WE ARE GREAT, we are a crap team of very average players and there are people that should be dismissed now for wasting Fosuns money.
26 Feb 2017 15:13:59
Costa will leave cannot see him staying with these players round him as Sako, Afobe before him also left, were are we going as a club worries me, we have money and wasted every penny so far except Costa, Bodvarson works hard but not the answer up front on is own, think Cavaliero will become a good player.
One thing that is positive is we have a good division 1 side if we go down, with the long term contracts given to players we the fans thought we would of got rid of by now.

No offence wavidsmith but you make me laugh. Jack Price was arguably our best player against blues. At least he wanted the ball, got it moving and showed a bit of passion. Think he was the only one who recognised it was a derby and got stuck in. Agree the midfield needs looking at but I think it's more a case getting the right combination if and when all our players are fit.
