Convince the fans not to moan groan everything the smallest thing goes wrong.

You say you trust him to get it right but in the same sentence reveal that you really don't as your patience is running out. You say you think he is the best option we have but accuse him of trying to prove a point by leaving certain players out. I think he is doing well. I think that many of the kids have done well. The other players available to him have not shown that they are capable of doing any better, so he has few options to change things for the better. We've seen positive signs this season and we have also had some disastrous results. At the halfway stage we are not in the bottom three but there are serious issues that need to be addressed in the January transfer window. Lambert is not stupid, he will know this.We just have to hope that the Chairman gives him the resources to do something about it.The post makes sense if you read it properly.I still trust he'll get it right but I'm not stupid enough to hold that view forever, no matter what happens. Successive massive hidings on the back of an already poor first half of the season means my patience is wearing thin. I'm not going to sit here and say everything's rosy just because Lambert is, in my view, currently the best option available to us. And leaving seasoned Premier League players on the bench while he plays the youth team, when everyone can see we're desperately short of experience doesn't make any logical sense to me - hence why it comes across as though he's trying to prove a point.Not everyone has your blind 'In Lambert We Trust' mentality.

In response to the thread title I hope that Lambert does the complete opposite of what some people in this thread have suggested to bring in the motherboard of crap old players like Parker, Lampard, Arshavin or even worse; Yakubu. All we need is an attacking midfielder, a central midfielder and if the right player is available, a left back. We should definitely keep with the ethos and get in players no older than twenty five and certainly not from the Premier League. I'd much rather finish 16th with our group of young players who will improve rather than a bunch of expensive ageing players finishing 15th.

If you think Parker and lampard are crap I'd hate to know what you think of our players!
Who are the seasoned Premier League players sat on the bench that could come in and improve the first team?
We'd do well to get Paul Carrick

Bent, Given, Ireland, NZogbia, Dunne, Hutton and Warnock all have bags of experience at the top level. No, they're not the most talented players in the world but they're no worse than the players we're putting out there at the moment and the addition of some experience to the first team would probably improve the performances of the young players out there at the same time.Hutton and Warnock were immediately jettisoned. Bent, Given and NZogbia haven't really been given a chance by Lambert. Dunne's obviously been injured and Ireland's been used sparingly. I'd say the kids have been given much more opportunity than any of the older players. I'd be quite happy to applaud this approach if we were midtable but as we're flirting with relegation and have suffered the worst defeat in our history followed by a 4-0 thumping at home I think it's fair game to question the manager's decisions.

Here lies the problem. Who is going to want to come to us and at what price. Who is out there in January ? Me personally, Robbie Keane is a player i would have like a shot again.
