I'm sick to the back teeth of it now but I think we as fans need to suck it up for the next few weeks over the festive period as their will obviously be changes over this time, which is understandable.
He's got until after the Exeter game to work out his best team/formation & to stick with it from then. |  |

This from Stuart Watson in the verdict was an excellent spot:

It just feels like Lambert, having done and said what we all wanted to hear, is now suffering an identity crisis. What does he want this team to be over the long-term? We need to see where this is going.
Aggressive, all-action, high-tempo, in your faces - that 'rock and roll' football he spoke about? Fine. Build a team in your mould and stick to that.
Or does he want patient, possession-based, trust that our quality will ultimately break you down football? Fine. Commit to that.
Yes, you have to be adaptable and versatile, but you always have to start with a trusty Plan A. He might be keeping opposition managers guessing, but he's also keeping his own players guessing too. At times that's shown.
Rival teams are starting to really gel, becoming greater than the sum of their parts. The power of Ipswich's individual talents diminishes as result.
Lambert might want to remember a conversation he had with one of his many good German contacts. In an interview he gave to the Guardian back in February, the Blues boss recalled how, during his time in charge of Aston Villa, then Bayer Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt asked him why he had frequently changed system.
"I was just trying to get a result," Lambert told his friend. "You'll confuse the players," was Schmidt's reply.
Lambert admitted: "I'd been confusing myself with the systems. Back three, four, five, two in the middle, three, couldn't get the result. He was right. I decided I wasn't going to waver from that advice."
It's good advice. Time for the confusion to stop. Time to take this relationship to the next level. |  |

Odd that he's spent all season ignoring that good advice. |  |

Yes, I remember that bit from the interview at the time.
He really does need to remind himself of that otherwise he’s going to royally balls this up. | |

I am persuaded of the virtues of rotation by the millions of people on here who have constantly told me it means all our players will be fit and firing from Feb onwards, it's his ongoing change of formations that is truly insane. |  |

He probably will once he's done reminding us that he won the Champion's League once. |  |
