Gallacher 6 - Ok, not at fault with goals (although I didn''t get a clear view of the third). Colin 6 - Started well and faded. Drury 6 - Better than Saturday but that''s not saying much. Shackell 5 - Left for dead for the first goal.  Almost put through his own net.  Looks really shaky. Docherty 7 - Best of the defenders. Safri 6 - Did ok but gave away possession for the last goal Etuthu 7 - Excellent but tired towards end.  Good header for goal. Hughes 7 - Filled in well for Robinson.  Decent match although a tiny minority seemed to disagree. Croft 7 - Good game, missed him when we went off.  Stupid antics on the touchline. Mcveigh 6 - Okay game without anything spectacular. Earnshaw 8 - Did the business in front of goal.  Missed a sitter at the end. subs Henderson 5 - Came on, gave the ball away a lot.  Not good enough. Get rid. Jarvis - Not on long enough for a rating. Fans 10 - Magnificent support.  Even at 0-1 down they got behind the team.  Deserved better (again!)  

The ref wasn''t great but in no way to blame for the result.  And yes, it did feel like a defeat.  

I don''t know about a coin but Croft was constantly flicking v-signs up and down the touchline.  He''s a cracking player but doesn''t appear to be the brightest spark.  If he gets banned that''s the last thing we need.  

[quote user="Safri15"]A corner came in, Worthy was on the far post (defending), the corner was headed and looped over the goalie, and I can''t even recall worthy looking at it! It looped literally right next to Worthy, who was casually leaning up against the post, and went in.[/quote] I didn''t see Soccer AM but I''m guessing it was that Man Utd v Weds game where (Judas) Bruce scored in the last few minutes.  Think its on one of those Danny Baker videos too.  

Nobody knows what was said, but its a bit depressing that we seem to be constantly knocked back for one reason or another by everyone we go in for.  I blame the World Cup!  

  A terrific player at Millwall and is their joint highest ever league goalscorer (with Teddy Sheringham).  However that was 5/6 years ago and his record in the last couple of years for Forest is pretty poor.    

Surely one of the most odious men in football.  Well done Arsene for getting rid!  

[quote user="Marty"] lots of injuries = even more moaning by the prawn eating brigade that expects the moon on a stick and more! What do you expect, 2 first teams like Chelsea? let''s just see how it goes, I think most teams suffer when they lose their best players. Some people expect us to have Henry and Rooney on the bench.   [/quote]   No, I just expected a bit of realism and some decent squad cover that we should have signed months ago in case the worst happened. Anyway, I don''t like prawns.  Much prefer cheese in my sandwiches.  

[quote user="irishcanary"]Just heard hucks could be out for a month, What do we think NW will do[/quote] Panic!  

I wouldn''t gamble with Hucks if not fully fit and save him either for the bench or for the Palace game.  If Dickson isn''t fit (and I think he will be) then Hughes may have to come in.  He''s not my favourite player, but its a straight swap and we just have to hope he has improved in the way that the likes of Etuhu, Colin and Robinson have. Will be interesting to see if Ryan Jarvis or any of the other kids are in the final 16.  

If the players said they were fit enough to play then its not really Worthy''s fault.  He''s not a mind reader and has to trust what they say. The problem is having no proper back up to replace them, but that''s another something for another thread...  

It has to be said for all the rubbish we have watched away from home in the last couple of years, our travelling support has been magnificent.  

After yesterday, Steve Bruce.  The best centre half I''ve ever seen wear the Norwich shirt, even if he isn''t the most likeable chap.  

[quote user="USAcanary"] Malky has been nothing but classy, considering he has had some serious disapointments in his career. (note to Leon, thats how a "Pro" handles this stuff) [/quote]   He really deserves it.  Had a horrible feeling he would never play a Premiership game but hopefully he''ll be involved in plenty more now.   Well done Malky!!! Good player, good professional and a good bloke.  Leon, you should watch and learn from this guy.  

I have little interest in the Premiership.  Maybe its cause we''re not in it but I find the hype overwhelming and the games predictable.  Who cares if Chelsea are playing Charlton?  We all know what''s gonna happen. And EVERY game seems to be based on a refereeing decision (thanks to the likes of Lineker, Andy Gray and endless moaning managers).  I find the Championship a bit more bloody honest, even if the quality of play is lower.  

Didn''t hear many Mackenzie or Marshall songs although I did get in late.  Think everyone was too shocked by our own performance to start worrying about the two money-grabbers.  

[quote user="Canaries for Ever"] Don''t get too excited - it''s dire! The first few rows are below pitch level and if you want a bottle of cola, they will remove the lid (so you risk spilling it) as they are too frightened that you will fill your bottle with water and throw it on the pitch - that''s what we were told when we requested the bottle lid. [/quote]   No worries.  I''m quite tall and won''t be drinking cola so i''ll be fine!  

[quote user="cityangel"] I''m going, who else is making the trip? [/quote]   Have some time off work so i''ll be there.  New ground for me so can''t wait.  

[quote user="allways travelling"] £60 reduced to thirty if paid within 14 days. [/quote]   Ouch!  No consolation at all then.  

Psychologically its a big thing.  The longer it goes on, the more it will be on the minds of the players however much they deny it.  Its equally important they turn on a decent show, even if it means just getting a point.  A similar display to Coventry doesn''t bear thinking about.  

[quote user="allways travelling"] the name of the street i got booked in was called bedlam lane there was no yellow lines. The ticket  says this is residential parking it was near some old wasteground did not look to residential to me.the funny thing about it was i said to my mate crap game the only result we have had to day is we did not have to pay to park famous last words. [/quote]   If its any consolation it cost my mate £10 to park at the ground, although I have no idea how much more a parking ticket is.    

The one thing I hate most about football is seeing players get a bad injury whether they are Norwich or not.  I have a lot of players I dislike for various reasons but I generally wouldn''t wish that upon anyone (with the possible exception of the likes of Muscat who set out to deliberately injure others). Get well Shaun and hope you''re playing again soon.  

Did anyone watch the Roy Keane show this morning?  Erm, sorry, i mean the Championship on ITV. A third of the show given over not just to highlights, but endless interviews, a profile of the great man''s day and lots of exclusive camera angles of the genial man''s reactions to goals going in, shots being saved, etc.  Oh yes, it was a bottom of the table clash as well, but Cardiff, Norwich, WBA and the rest won''t mind being shoved aside for this true United legend. Amazing as well yesterday morning that the BBC devoted a large chunk of their sports news to Keane''s debut.  Funny considering that they never EVER mention the Championship on their sports news.  Haven''t seen the papers but they probably have colour supplements to celebrate the new dawn of this football genius. And to quote ITV (more than once this morning), "Roy Keane is a winner."  Of course he is, and we''ll never be allowed to forget it this season will we? Hope he falls flat on his arse! (i''m still in a bad mood this morning...)  

[quote user="cityangel"] I don''t think he''ll ever make it either and that goes for Henderson too, although neither has ever been given a decent run. Give them a chance Worthy or let them move on. [/quote]   You have to assume that because they are never played or played out of position (Hendo was on the left yesterday) that either Worthy doesn''t trust them up front or that they are simply not good enough (or both).  I think we''ll know come the end of the season but you have to wonder about Jarvis position at the club when he can''t even make the bench in a small squad like ours (unless he really was injured again).  

[quote user="A load of squit"] JayM, I can let you into a secret, Nigel Worthington chose the start time and route, if only we''d let Martin Hunter do it I''m certain he''d of gone for the A47 route.   [/quote]   Agreed, Hunter''s traffic directions would have been more slick and cohesive.  Worthy just decided to hoof it straight through the A14.  Worthington Out!
