Agree with the above, good post mate.
And in regards to our January squad building; Lambert has also come out and praised Guzan this week saying if it werent for him we could have conceded 35 instead of 17 in our last 4 league games, so he clearly knows where our problems and frailties lie in defence. Have to think he will bring bodies in sharpish. And he, like anyone not requiring a guide dog, can see our midfield is built like a rizla, you'd like to think he will finally strengthen there too this month (this week hopefully).
