Strange appointment
Is it?
Wiki:Lambert was appointed manager of English-team Wycombe Wanderers on 30 June 2006. He led Wycombe to the League Cup semi-finals after defeating Premier League sides Fulham and Charlton Athletic. The semi-final tie, against then Premier League champions Chelsea, saw Wycombe hold Chelsea to a 1–1 draw at Adams Park before losing the away leg. This was the first time in over 30 years a fourth tier team had reached that stage of the League Cup. Lambert resigned as Wycombe manager on 20 May 2008 following the club's elimination from the League Two play-offs by Stockport County.Did nothing special with Colchester last season when he arrived October time. But by then the club was struggling and in a serious rutt. Only two games in this season and Colchester have got off to a great start, top of the table and with a preseason under Lambert's belt, he seems t have put together a decent looking side that now has his style of play embeded into them.
Also, he has a very successful playing career behind him. He'll have learnt a hell of a lot that he can bring to his management style.
Good appointment.
