Wolves' new manager Paul Lambert issues rallying cry to supporters
Monday 7 November 2016 16:21, UK
Wolves' new manager Paul Lambert believes the Sky Bet Championship strugglers can start to climb the division - if the fans get behind the team.
Lambert will be looking to arrest a seven-match winless run that has seen them slip to within three points of the relegation zone when he begins his tenure against Preston on November 19 and he wants the players and supporters to feed off each other.
"If we bounce off each other, we can be in for a good time," he told Wolves' official website after signing a one-year rolling contract.
"There's a fantastic fanbase here and, if you have that, you have a chance.
"Even when I came here with Norwich and Blackburn, it was always a great atmosphere and we as a team have to get the fans going and give them something back."

Former Borussia Dortmund and Celtic midfielder Lambert, who won the Champions League as a player with the former, guided Norwich to back-to-back promotions to the Premier League in 2011.
He has also had spells in charge of Livingston, Wycombe, Colchester, Blackburn and Aston Villa.
"Everybody knows the pitfalls in football," he added. "If you don't get the results, you know exactly what's going to happen.
"The football club sold itself - the fan base and the history attached. The club is huge, but needs a bit of help to try to climb the table.
"It's up to us to generate things and get the stadium really going. It doesn't take much for it to lift.
"It just needs a bit of help and, if we can do that, let's see what happens.
"When you go into a club that has had a bit of a hard time, they are looking for an upsurge pretty quickly and to get some results on the board."
Stuart Taylor, who worked with Lambert as youth coach at Villa, has joined him at Molineux as first-team coach, while Rob Edwards will remain part of the backroom staff.
