Cardiff City 2 Wolverhampton 1
This was undoubtedly the worst performance from Lambert's five games in charge. Indeed the second half display was as bad as Wolves have been this season.
Yes they conceded more goals in the second period against Barnsley and arguably capitulated in a more embarrassing manner in the first halves against Derby and Sheffield Wednesday.
But at least those teams played a bit of football. Cardiff's neanderthal tactics of long throws, crosses and set pieces were painfully basic and yet Wolves just couldn't cope.
They were doing fine in the first half but all the Bluebirds had to do (no doubt on the back of a half time rollocking from Neil Warnock) was move up a gear or two and Wolves crumbled.
In attack things weren't any better. Wolves mustered just four shots and their remarkable strikers' famine was extended to almost four months (no striker has scored since August 20).
Any confidence gained from the four points accrued - and six goals scored - in their previous two games simply evaporated.
And all this despite finally scoring in the first 15 minutes of a match - the last team of 92 in English football to do so this season.
