Pardew: Lambert is the top dog
Lambert's treble, which included a stunning 35-yard lob, took his season's tally to 30 goals.[LNB]After Saturday's clash at stadium:mk, Pardew said: "Rickie is a terrific player and the third goal was no surprise to me because he's tried it two or three times this year and come very close.[LNB]"He's a player that went unnoticed for far too long doing a great job for Bristol Rovers. We've brought him to the fore with the profile of Southampton and he has delivered.[LNB]"In my opinion he's the best player in this division in terms of his position. In my career I can't ever remember winning four out of four against the same team in a season and that's a tribute to the players and the attitude they've shown.[LNB]"We've got to win eight, nine or even 10 games to get in the play-offs but with this team it is possible, they're technically good enough."[LNB][LNB]
