The tables were turned a month ago when Crystal Palace made an emergency call-up for Heschen's return. Just this Saturday (29th), they won for the fourth time in their last six league games with a dramatic 4-3 victory at home to Westham, and Heschen's achievement in just six games in charge is more than the number of victories Lamberts have won in an entire season!
Crane, 75, had announced his retirement but decided to make a comeback to save the team after Crystal Palace sacked Vela. Since taking over, he has led the team to four wins, one draw and one loss. What's even more ironic is that Lambert coached 23 league matches at Ewarton and Chelsea this season, but only managed to get 3 wins. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, overtook Chelsea to move up to 11th place in the league after their win over Westham.
