Amazed that Stoke see Paul Lambert as their saviour to prevent them from relegation. I suppose it tells you a lot about the current standard of British coaches at the moment and maybe a warning of the calibre of coach we might attract if we ditch Pellegrino even though he seems to be out-thought whenever the opposition's coaching staff make substitutions. Not sure that I can recall a match this season where a Pellegrino has made a substitution himself that had had the same effect on his opposition. Wondered if anyone had noticed that when you type in Pellegrino in Bing, it comes up with the word "sack!!"
Their following four fixtures aren't the most difficult in the world either. I might not be a fan of Lambert's, but he could hardly ask for a nicer set of fixtures to potentially benefit from that new manager bounce.
But that would at least mean Huddersfield losing. And as I pointed out yesterday, they then follow that with Liverpool and Man Utd in successive games. Seeing us sitting below that line might not be good, but we'll have the games (Brighton and WBA) to get immediately back above it again. It'll be our fault if we failed to do that, not Stoke's for beating Huddersfield.
