Lambert says 090211
Några citat från Colchesters manager Paul Lambert efter matchen mot Tranmere och om Walkers förlängda lån
Paul Lambert blev riktigt förbannad över strulet med förlängningen/övergången för målvakten Jimmy Walker. Han är irriterad på Football League som inte kontaktat Colchester om Walkers situation.
“Signing Jimmy Walker is now my priority, and I'll be an angry man if we lose him. I've lost count of the number of points that he has saved us, since he's been at the club. It's no secret that I want him permanently. The club knew a few weeks ago that I wanted Jimmy to stay longer, but we are still waiting for a response from the Football League."
Han menar att Football League behandlar klubbarna orättvist och att mindre klubbar får sämre service än storklubbarna.
“There doesn't seem to be any consistency. There seems to be one rule for some, and one rule for others, whether you are a big club or not. It's all very confusing, with some players signing before and others after the deadline has passed. People don't know where they stand. We sent our stuff about the Walker deal through on time, but we've had two days without a response. Every club should be treated the same."

Om förlusten hemma mot Tranmere sa Lambert
“We didn't deserve to get anything out of this game. Tranmere deserved to win. But you can't be too critical of the lads because of what they have achieved recently, and I'm sure that we will bounce back. Our good run was always going to end at some time, and it's how we react to this that is important. Then we will see how far we have come.
“If you can't cut out a cross, then you're always going to be hard pushed, which is what we found with their winner. I made several changes in the second half, because you want to try everything to get a goal back."
Om Jamie Guy:
“I thought Jamie Guy did fine when he came on, and he nearly got us an equaliser late on. But whether we would have deserved that is another matter.
Saknaden av avstängde Kem Izzet på mitten var stor:
“I thought we missed Kem Izzet. He's been a massive player for us this season. He's been terrific, but he'll be back for Saturday.”
