Positives: We will get some experience in in January.  Randy Lerner is comitted to providing the funds:

Sounds like Lambert has a good idea where the weaknesses are:

"Lambert has already indicated the need to add physical presence to the team with a new defender and midfielder high on his wish list."

We could still turn it round against Bradford.

West Brom lost in spectacular fashion on Saturday.

In the short term those are the only ones I can think of.

I think we just might squeak it past the Olbyon. Pick up three points, get into a final, not get beat by Millwall and sign one or two players, then we have a fighting chance against the Gerodies.

Southampton have a horrible run of fixtures too.

Just lately this forum has become so depressing obviously with good reason so I thought I'd start a thread with no negativity! Granted it will probably be a VERY quiet thread!

NO NEGATIVITY
NO STICKING THE BOOT INTO OUR CLUB

 :D

Well a couple of positives, firstly Randy accepting there's a problem secondly he's going to splash some cash

Sorry to be defeatist and all that a mere one post in, but that article just seems to be taking Lambert's post-match comments and imagining what Lerner might be thinking on the back of it.  Anything with "it is understood" in basically means totally made up, there's no substance to the piece at all.  Lambert reiterates that they'll try to get "one or two" in, which is what he's been saying since Christmas.

We're in the semi final of a cup and still in with a chance of turning it round as long as Bradford don't get a corner. Hmm, that's it for now.

Well Im fed up with all the moaning so this thread suits me. I believe we've got a decent manager and once a few injuries and signing's happen, I honestly think we can avoid relegation and be stronger next season.
