we were 4 points from being a top ten side. Insert cork and shaw into the side for the first 10 games and also add in a decent CB pairing and IMO we would have easily been a top 10 side. Lambert isnt the reason we only finished 14th the poor defence is the key. look at his goals, assists and general play its quitre clear he is far better than you give credit for.
Our goals scored column was decent our goals conceded column was poor and that is the key to our finish.
Put Manures CB pairing into our side I think we would have finished far far higher.
