People need to man the fuck up and sit tight.

The man knows what he's doing, and he'll make the right deals.

We'll be fine.

Tuncay hasn't got a club at the moment. Not sure how old he is now but always thought he had a bit about him when he played against us. By no means a first choice if there are other options but another body who can play off a striker.

On paper last season Norwich were absolute certainties to go down, they had no Premier League experience in the squad, half of whom had been Division 3 players a couple of years before. Look where Lambert got them in the league.

Have faith, we'll be fine.

agreed nothing fundamental has changed. all we have done thus far is underinvest and swap one TSM for another and whilst the new model might be better he can't polish turds
...swap one TSM for another? You're on a wind up right?

Lambert has made it clear it will take time to get the team playing well and winning.
Manager, players and fans all need to be patient.

Cresswell will come in if Warnock and or Hutton are sold. For me leaving Lambert with chance to make one more quality signing. I do like the idea of bringing in Carroll utilising the Downing money still owed and if we can pay over the top for a years loan this would be a good deal.  As people have said previous like it or not Lambert will need to work with Bent/Nzogbia/Ireland for the season to see if he can make them tick.

The problem is our team is full of unknowns. We only have Given and Bent who are guaranteed performers. The rest could be anything from top 6-relegation material dependant on their form.

Lambert doesn't seem too worried, so we've got to trust him.

I don't for one minute believe we are done in the transfer window yet. People need to calm down a bit.

Your logic has already failed, If Bent doesn't score he doesn't contribute, so using your theory Bent only performs every other game (hattrick today I hope) and Given is on the waine now.

I think we can rely on Ireland (our best player last year and works hard), Vlaar, El Ahmidi and Herd.

I agree he knows what he's doing, but if he isn't given the opportunity to show it by building a decent squad, then he's going to find it hard.

What a bunch of fucking drama queens ffs.

We'll see - just wait and see what happens when Lerner's austerity measures really start to kick in. People have every right to be concerned on these message boards. Lerner has diluted the expectations of this club from the fringe of the Champions League to relegation candidates within two years with a catalogue of pathetic decisions.

I agree but it is not time to panic. Lets see how we go on today first.

That makes no sense.

I said we've 8 or 9 players in our team that we can't rely on to deliver. Because they're either inexperienced and have yet to be first choice, new to the league or have yet to perform for Villa.

Given and Bent the two that don't fall into that category.
