We need two new defenders but even then I don't think a Lambert team will magically start keeping clean sheets on an annual basis.

The way we're going a clean sheet on an annual basis will be an improvement!

Its almost like watching a child grow up, you feel every bump with them, and each time it happens that bond grows a tiny bit stronger, i defy anyone with a heart not to have felt pity for some of `em during the winter when we all suffered together. Look at QPR, all those big money "dont give a fuck" signings and there was no bond between any of them, contrast that with the whole show on Monday night, i felt genuinley proud of every one of them after that, Boys are turning into Battle-hardened veterans before our eyes and i think it`s fucking wonderful.

This is a good analogy. We have been through the mill with them, but persevered.

In comparison with some of the top-flight footballers around at the moment, it's hard not to like them.
