You had one job to do..

..Rickie Lambert.

And you missed the goal from 12 yards out by the penalty spot.

I'm pretty certain if you'd scored we would have won that game.

Not your fault that the goals went in at the other end but when you had the chance to earn some of your considerable salary you made a right bollocks of it.

For 20 odd k a week or whatever it is he should be splitting the net from that far out every time!

Think if you see the highlights again he had to snatch at the ball with defenders closing him down from front and side, plus he was stretching for it.

You can make any excuse that you like but for a striker of his experience, having come fresh on recently, in the position he was in, he should have done much better.

Very poor attempt as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe if he had a low basic wage and big bonuses for scoring goals he may have been a bit more focussed.

I'll put this down to frustrations.

However we should be getting a better return for him. Scary thing is he is our best return so far which goes to show the problem we face.

True! I said on other thread we can't make Lambert the scapegoat but I think he should of at least hit the target
