Lerner has got a week now to make some fucking decisions.  Either sack Lambert or buy some fucking players.  If he does nothing, it's proof positive that he doesn't give a flying shite any more.

Jesus christ! I am in Thailand at the moment so have limited internet access, every time I log on I hope there is some small glimmer of us signing someone. Each time I come away feeling worse than before.

Just sign a defensive midfielder please, a big one. Big Papa Boppa Diopa or someone like that, let me rest easy

The biggest signing we could make this winter is a top level sports psychologist. Our guys are a spent force mentally. Whatever is happening in their collective minds when we concede is dangerous. From everyone looking to get on the ball in the first half against West Brom and Bradford and then to change in the second half to everyone shitting themselves and no one wanting to dwell and think and be calm and pass the ball to a fellow player is baffling. There is something very wrong with the mentality of our playing and coaching staff.
We need an experienced midfielder for the rest of the season, either on loan or whatever. Our midfield guys just can't hack it at the moment. Dunne cannot come back quickly enough into our defense, whatever he is or is not, we would not be getting caught out by the same corner kick each time.
Maybe Laursen or someone else could be signed to coach our young defenders, whoever is doing it at the moment is not worth a stocking of shite.

Agreed something must be done immeadiately. Whichever side of the fence you sit, the manager needs to be sacked and a new one brought in with money to spend or the manager needs to be backed. One of those things must happen or we are done for.

Lerner no longer gives a flying, Lambert didn't even know if he was there last night (from the Eve Mail). 

A rudderless ship (and Faulkner is probably hiding in the Trinity with his fingers in his ears going 'La La La')

I saw PL post match interview. He was asked at the very end about new signings. He responded with something about the chairman being great with him and then said it's not the right time to be talking about it.

It was uncomfortable to watch him squirm and come up with something other than the obvious facts that he has no meaningful money to spend.

he looks like he is in constant pain at the moment with that grimace

Great communication between the owner and manager! Just shows what a shambles the whole club is. Lerner/ Faulkner/ Lambert out please....

Lerner or Faulkner need to come out and say something soon.  If they don't feel that there is the need to speak to the fans they can both fuck off.

We are whimpering into the championship. Not even a tangible link by the last week of the window. Madness.

Well if he wasn't there and there really is no money to spend then that'll confirm it.

 Lerner really has given up on the Club as a whole.

Shame as I genuinely thought he was better than that, I should've known.

23 days in to the transfer window and we've done fuck all. Our Football club is a mess. We will be relegated. There is no doubt.

He owns the club ... he doesnt need or have to speak to you

Get over it ..... move on .....

Vote with your feet only way they (he) will listen

At least with shareholders there are different views
