Is there anything he can say which will go down well, right now?

That isn't "I'm stepping down, in favour of Roy Keane", obviously.

Not really.  It wouldn't be understandable in any case, I've heard tramps in the street off their box on meths who talk more coherently than Lambert.

Determination, Situation, but no belief. In fact, I wouldn't even say determination - it implies stoicism, which I think these players have lost entirely. The manner of the Chelsea defeat has utterly destroyed their hard-one, fragile confidence.

I don't think it's fair to attack the man's accent.

So, you're Lerner, you're annoyed this evening.

What do you do?

It's all well and good losing your rag and getting fucked off (as we all are) and wanting blood, but what do you actually think the club should do now?

The transfer window opens in a couple of days, so you'll need to keep that in mind.

You sack him now, then what? What are you going to do in the morning?

Cheap and hungry are terms that doesn't mean a great deal. Quality is key, with the right physical attributes.

All this talk about buying new players in the window is fine, but which quality, experienced players that could really make a difference are going to want to join us right now? Not very many I'll bet.

He hasn't had a fair crack of the whip yet. Give him time.

I wonder where we would be now if the Baby- faced Assassin had took the job ?

It wasn't a problem for Darren Bent.

If it went this badly, I reckon I could have a decent guess at the first person calling for his head.

They'll come if you offer them enough cash. The trouble is Lerner only likes to offer YTS wages. That's why we look to the lower leagues.

I'd like him to actually step up and show some leadership.  He should be meeting with Lambert within the next couple of days and discussing the way forward and possible transfer targets for the next few weeks.  It would also be nice to see  him relay some of his thoughts in the press and try and reassure some of the doubters.

The team Bent joined is hardly comparable with what we have now though.

It was in the relegation area (or thereabouts) and clearly not good enough.
