...but I'm not ignoring that...

at WORST both the norwich and villa squads were at a similar level, with our squad arguably having more potential already built in.

Since then Lambert and Hughton have spent similar in terms of net spend. Both obviously had to rebuild their squads to a point, but Lambert pretty much had to do it from scratch due to a mass of aging players and players that Lerner wanted shifted off the wage bill.

Look at both teams now, which one is progressing further?

      - Yep, I was DEVASTATED by our performance in drawing 3-3 at Arsenal (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Dec 5, 00:20:37
        
        beat spurs (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 00:31:06
        
        In our last ten games of that season we gained 11 points (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:39:35
        
        well bigfeller is pointing to that (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 00:53:42
        
        It doesn't really undermine his point when our worst form under Lambert (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:59:01
        
        FFS (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:17:07
        
        Are you thick? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:19:13
        
        that was not the point I made (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:22:20
        
        ...but it was the point I made (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:26:40
        
        show me where (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:30:46
        
        You pointed out some shit performances and results (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:37:25
        
        again (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:43:49
        
        ...but his argument is closer to the truth than yours (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:48:38
        
        again (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:43:38
        
        depends if you think the manager is taking us forwards or backwards (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:56:46
        
        a 'relatively' poor end of season (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:33:17
        
        what about getting hammered 3-0 at sunderland (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:22:15
        
        you mean when we were 'on the beach' safe... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:31:29
        
        We only really got hammered a couple of times under Lambert (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:28:35
        
        the Lambert side in 11/12 (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 00:37:40
        
        Arguably better resources? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:42:56
        
        Lambert has spent more than Hughton (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:04:53
        
        Again, you ignore the fact that Lambert took over a side that finished with 38 points (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:12:04
        
        I ignore it (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:21:16
        
        ...but I'm not ignoring that... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:24:44
        
        I do not believe (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 5, 01:47:11
        
        I hope you're correct (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 01:49:14
        
        Or indeed Lambert's positive mentality affecting the squad (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:41:15
        
        Hughton at Norwich has almost an identical net spend as Lambert at Villa (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:38:44
        
        and have had more 0-0s than we have this season (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:38:25
        
        We have the worst goals conceded tally in the league right now (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:39:37
        
        well. this investment thing is a red herring (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:31:24
        
        So by that token all of the other teams at our level and below should be tonked regularly (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:34:47
        
        well no.. all I'm saying is that the fact we have spent 30m (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:36:55
        
        Well, some teams at our level have spent a little more, most the same, some less... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:40:42
        
        we've only been thrashed twice this season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:42:44
        
        Arsenal as well... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Dec 5, 00:44:41
        
        I think Arsenal was different.. certainly not a thrashing (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:46:19
        
        Yes Thrashings can happen when you choose to have a go a 2-0 down (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:47:41
        
        Like when we chose to accept defeat at White Hart Lane (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:48:20
        
        4-1 is not a thrashing? Standards have certainly fallen... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:43:50
        
        and how many more rubbish sides are there? (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:32:07
        
        When we were already safe in mid-table, and cruising in having basically secured safety by (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Dec 5, 00:26:43
        
        so you preferred the style of play under Lambert (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 5, 00:35:00
        
        The main reason we will stay up this season, is three crap sides got promoted (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 5, 00:34:05
