GOAL 41: October 9, 2010 Saints 2 Tranmere 0 It seems inconceivable it would take so long, but this was the first goal of the season from open play for Lambert. He headed in Danny Butterfield’s first-half cross to open the scoring.

GOAL 42: October 30, 2010 – Notts Co 1 Saints 3 Saints were dominated for more than an hour, but levelled through a Lambert penalty after Lee Barnard had been fouled. Lambert then set up Barnard for the decisive second.

GOAL 43: December 28, 2010 – Saints 4 Huddersfield 1 Another seven-game drought was ended as Lambert restored parity for Saints with a half-volley, above, with Saints eventually storming to victory.

GOAL 44: January 3, 2011 Dagenham & Redbridge 1 Saints 3 Lambert rounded off the scoring in this contest, powering past the home defence before lifting the ball over the advancing keeper in the 89th minute.

GOAL 45: January 11, 2011 Oldham 0 Saints 6 Saints bagged half-a-dozen goals at Boundary Park, but there was only one for Lambert. He fired into an empty net for the fifth of the night, after Oscar Gobern’s saved shot had rebounded to him.
