“We needed that – especially after Wednesday night,” he said. “We needed to bounce back with a bang and we’ve done that today.”
“You’ve come up against a team as resurgent as Sunderland and the one thing that you’ve got to do is to match their work ethic and their commitment – and we never. I just thought we were slow out of the blocks.”
“He can play, he’s got great vision, he’s comfortable on the ball and he’s a good age, too. He will be staying at Peterborough initially, but will join us in time to be available for the Stoke game.”
“I’ll see what happens,” he said, simply. “I’ll have to wait and see through the course of the day as to whether it does come off. It’s just in the balance at the moment, but hopefully as I say I’ll know more through the course of the day.”
“We played them twice last year in two, really tough games, although it’s a new manager now,” said Lambert. “It’ll be a really tough game, but it’s one that we will look to go and win.”
“It is only one game,” stressed Lambert afterwards. “But he has great temperament and great enthusiasm for the game, but his handling was brilliant and his saves were exceptional.”
“They need to push on now themselves to get back into the team and back in the squad. But if I throw them in, I know that they won’t let me down.”
“I think he has been brilliant for Leeds,” said the City chief. “How he has played, but also being their captain brings its own demands – it’s a fantastic club Leeds.”
“You have to have good people in the dressing room – it’s paramount,” said Lambert, citing Hoolahan as a prime example. “Wes Hoolahan was brilliant against West Brom last week. There’s no justification for leaving him out other than the system of the team, but he took it great…
“He came through a medical, but I’m never quite sure until somebody signs,” Lambert told the club’s official website today. “I’m pretty sure it’s nearly all there, but I’m never sure until its done.”
