    Reggie and Chicken have already summed it up for me, the home games against Ipswich, Derby and Boro are all must win games with the big one being this Saturday (next one is always the most important one) and Brentford.

    New manager and possibly at least one new signing and nobody of consequence leaving we can get close to 87/88 points, and who knows automatic promotion is there for celebrating.

    We usually do well against the better sides, so no silly slip ups and its game on! "look out Binners we are coming after you....... "

    Could it be with Adams it was all nice and comfortable ? played together, both had a nice position decent squad, then Adams goes, the new more dynamic kid on block turns up from Hamilton, and suddenly sleepy little Norwich isn''t such an easy number anymore.

    Suddenly old mate Steve Bruce rings up at the weekend, his assistant gone back to Middlesborough and a position for an old mate suddenly sounds very nice, ?

    I liked Phelan, (or at least his CV as never spoke to him) and hoped he would have had a lot to give any NCFC manager, be it Neil Adams or Alex Neil, history will show that Adams failed, Phelan did contribute to some nice results in his short time with us and some crap (Preston and Reading being 2 of the worst for a long, long time).

    So is the issue that the board are not being on top of these things, and give us an excuse to have a moan, or just maybe true colours being shown, when the going gets tough and all that ?

    Disappointing, he has been involved in both some of our recent highs (Millwall, Huddersfield and Bournemouth) but also some of our lows, in particular Reading and Preston away.

    His experience we hoped would have been a massive benefit to Alex Neil, so lets hope that the imminent arrival of Frankie Mcavoy is good enough for Alex.

    Wow, what a great post, and some great feedback, I have to say that I have watched some of your videos last night and think they are very good, and will only get better every time you do one. I agree with most that you should lower the background music,

    The fan interviews outside the ground are a great touch and would say more of that would be great, especially getting away fans opinions would be good. The players I''m sure would be happy to a few words, as long as you don''t compromise them that club gets upset (save that for when you are working for sky).

    Agree with google bot, why not do a summary on the league table and highlight teams / players you think are either making a push or falling away ?.

    And finally you have to take a few no''s in life to get the big yes''s, so I would ask Mr McNally for 10 minutes, explain what you are doing and you never know where that might lead......

    Good work and keep it coming.

    So many of the so called bigger clubs (and fans) could learn so much from Accies, they have been class from the 1st with regard to Alex Neil, and seem very happy for Big Frankie to follow as they see it as a step up, great post.!

    Hope the talked about friendly between our clubs that Mr McNally talked about happens.

    Wow, how about this as far as bad luck goes, lost 2 goal keepers within 30 minutes of each other, both with broken arms ! played the game out with a defender in goal. Probably have to make emergency loan now or use up what transfer budget they have in a new keeper.

    Made me think who would be our cover to complete a game if faced with the same nightmare scenario ? Wes, not big enough Lafferty, mad enough or who ? view....

    Unfortunately Josh reminds me of a certain young Ryan Jarvis at that age, showed so much promise but never seemed to quite get to the next level, and the clock is ticking as Jack Flash said, 20 next month, no longer considered a fledgling.

    So much want to see these young home grown players come through and establish themselves, a loan spell now would only benefit him IMO.

    I thought Redmond was outstanding on Saturday , and I agree completely that the partnership with RM was superb. Seems to me that NR is now receiving balls to run onto, which before were coming to his feet. So he had to create momentum. On Saturday a couple of passes inside the full back allowed him to use his pace to get in behind.

     

    On that display I would be gutted to see him go.

    Well said GPB, sums it up, and he will only improve in time.

    Sounds like wishful thinking? haven''t seen or heard anything since the rumour about Liverpool before Christmas, though personally I would love Redmond to stay (not sure Liverpool need him anyway) as the best is still to come from him. Thought he had a great game Saturday with RM linking up well, we looked good down that flank, and Redmond was unlucky not to get on the score sheet.

    If footballers don''t suffer with a confidence thing, can someone explain what happened to Torres at Chelsea ? football is about skill and any skill can be practised, can be taught, and you cant confuse skill with natural talent. with competition for places players can over compensate and when things go wrong for them as individuals confidence (or self belief) can drain quickly.

    If it can happen to a Torres it can happen to anyone ? Grabban will be back.

    Would prefer to keep him for rest of season, then maybe, however he is one of the ones struggling with confidence, maybe AN can get that back into him, he has a great work rate but touch lets him down. Why would Eddie Howe want him back ? because he knows there are goals in him i suspect, keep him please, competition and cover for injury / suspensions...

    ps. don''t know if any of you guys caught the good luck at the Canaries message on the electronic pitch side advertising boards at our game yesterday

    I saw it good luck Alex and the canaries and good luck to Alex and Norwich, a real touch of class, well done to the Accies, hope we can send a couple of the young ones out to help, may do them good to gate game time in a fairly physical league that is not

    dissimilar to mid championship standard.

    We need Ruddy back on form, to me it just seems like a confidence thing, if that is the case then surely AN and co will be making that priority ?

    If he has other issues then they need to be understood by management and if affecting his game he should be dropped, has he closed his twitter account ? i was following him, but this morning can''t find him or anything about him, hope he is ok, we have named our dog after him........

    I think Lafferty may start on the left, as he did ok when came on at Bournemouth, and didn''t get booked ! also I would not be surprised to see Bassong on the bench, so my selection would be;

    Ruddy

    SW RM MT MO

    NR AT BJ KL

    CJ GH

    But also sort of expecting maybe at least one surprise amongst the overall selection, cant wait for 3.00 Saturday !!

    "How many other new managers on their first day would have had the courage and confidence to come down to the touchline when things were getting awkward, having already said they wouldn''t get involved and leave it to people who knew the players? It is almost certain that is the reason we won that match. Start as you mean to go on - and he did. Inspiration from the word go"

    The paragraph above say it all for me, I cant recall a manger of any club doing that, most would have sat in the directors box, commenting on the sending off as bad luck or poor discipline or the like. No Mr Neil, he new it was a potential game changer and had the confidence that he could help, even though he hadn''t yet taken a training session with his new players, just a few words at the hotel the night previous and before the match.

    Once the game was won, he went round and thanked / congratulated the bench (other than one who was straight up the tunnel, and i''m sure that happened in the dressing room later) then came over to acknowledge the fans, and I for one felt something different at that time, from the players and the fans there was a feeling that was many levels above Cardiff earlier this season or even against Boro at Carra Rd a few seasons back when we came back from the dead,

    We are now a whole week into our new manager, he is yet to have his first home game, but I have heard, read or been told nothing that changes my mind, this man exudes confidence and passion in every interview and that is hard to ignore, he does it clearly and well measured, this could be the perfect package, he just may have it all !!how does that song go "and I just cant get enough,,,,,,,,,cough Ipswich"
