Well you said they were brought cheaply so I just explained the mitigating circumstances ..plus using Pienaar as an example is redundant seeing as he rarely played under him went back to Everton and has been class for them.So if anything thats a black mark against him. If Lambert signed a 40 year old keeper on a 2 year deal on high wages he most certainly wouldn't be looked at as the second coming.Also did he sign them players all in the same window ? No so your judging Lambert on one window against Redknapp on numerous windows.Your lauding Walker as a good buy yet how many years did he take to get in the first team ?How do you know in 3 years Bennet and Lowton won't be as highly regarded ? Redknapp could come to us do an ok job but there's a reason Spurs got rid ,why he got Soton relegated and why Pompey they are still in the shit paying for players like Kanu he signed.

I admire the long term goal but with the results going the way they have ..a short term fix is now needed to a degree.

Some continuity in defence would help ..especially as LB which is causing us endless issues Norwich - Bennet Sending off ..Cross for goal Lichaj not concentrating short corner Fulham -Lichaj poor marking near post Man U - Stephens played Hernadez onside 1st goal / poor marking 3rd Goal

Maybe the people calling for Redknapp should ask the Southampton fans about the great rescue job he did there ...

I agree ..however if we can't buy we need to loan someone ..no point building for future then going down,that will set us back years.

The infamous ''Daniels dealing with it now '' window down comment

With Sunderland winning leaves us really in the shit,Reading win thier game in hand and we are already 2 points from safety. Weekend has been a nightmare results wise

Think you will find Levy brought VDV.Friedal was out of contract with us ,Peinaar had 6 months on contract with Everton.Walker was brought with Naughton for 9 mil ! I'd go as far to say having someone as competent as Levy as CEO would help us immensley.

In hindsight maybe but at time neither of those 2 would have screamed out over Lambert.Head to head neither has beat us either. For me the huge issue right now is the defence..4-3-3 with the players we have might score ..but it will concede is simply not enough protection for the defence.

Worried now Problem is if Lambert doesn't turn it around where the **** do we go from here ..another manager again. We had problems with the squad no doubt but dear god how are WBA and Norwich doing so much better than us I don't recall them spending alot in the window..

Yup looking like defence is not his strong point..

The difference between this season and last is we are trying to win games last season we were more defensive so got more draw's I am worried by the defence ..maybe it's the injuries and chopping and changing but we are conceding too many and alot of the goals are down to poor defending more than great play by the opposition.Also yet again we seem to be the worst side in the league at keeping the ball both points need addressing or we will go down. QPR will sack Hughes and improve we need to pull away to safety quickly.

I'm as optimistic as the next guy but the table makes scary viewing. FFS Norwich at 5 points from us ..Norwich who's manager we stole !!

Norwich winning ..**** me this weekend has been awful

Haven't lost at home in the league for 2 years ..yeah shocking we are 1 down...

Nice positive story from The Sun

Baker is a better defender ,Clark the better footballer IMO.

Good player for me and will come back into the team at some point The 4-3-3 will not work against all teams and we will need to hold the ball more in midfield.That's what KEA will do keep the ball and keep it simple letting the likes of Bannan and Ireland make the more eye catching passes.

Makes me shudder to think VDV was prob on less than Heskey !!

Latest is he should be back for December

Lambert today has said he has hurt ankle ..same one as kept him out for back end of last season so could be a long lay off.

It was the cut again ,on the stream I watched you could see it had opened up again .

Should be remember Nzog was injured in training before the last match and that was kept quiet till matchday.Think Bent just injured.

Foot injury for Bent ..

Not traveled with squad ,...injured ???
