and a level headed viewpoint...

"If a club wants to get out of the lower leagues then Lamberts your man. That's his forte, that's were he is experienced and where his policy of keen, young 'n hungry works and works well. With just one season of prem experience where survival was won with the momentum of Norwich's rocket rise continuing cracks were starting to show. Comments by players seemed to indicate they didn't hold him in such high regard as the fans did. There was concern in some Norwich circles of what the 2nd season would hold.

It's taking time but Hughton is sorting Norwich out, starting from the back by sorting out the shambles that was Norwich's defence. There's hardly a defender now who played under Lambert

Villa fans were swayed by Norwich's meteoric rise from league 1 under Lambert. But that success was NOT just down to Lambert.

Norwich were the right club and Lambert the right man coming together AT THE RIGHT TIME but he is not YET an experienced prem manager and it's showing. At the end of the day it's worked out better for Norwich than it has for Villa."
