  1. I''d both agree and disagree with parts of this.

    It''s always a good idea to retain the core of a promotion winning squad and add to it to carefully with the right personalties, as Paul Lambert did so very well in 2011/12.

    However then you go on to say you shouldn''t change your footballing philosophy, which again I agree with. We did this with Chris Hughton who completely changed our approach (although LDC was defending him weekly, which is rather ironic).

    There''s no definitive answer, but to adopt the same style of football, including when changing managers, whilst strengthening the squad year-on-year(a la Swansea) seems the most sensible approach. We tried this but purchased the wrong players for Hughton''s rigid system.

    And as for us ''desperately trying to stay up'', this is a bit wrong too. The first season under Lambert we were never realistically in danger, the second season was harder but we managed it, but of course the third season ended in disaster.

  2. He was appreciative of the previous regime in a press conference a couple of months ago.

    I think we should all be. For an inexperienced manager, he guided us to some great victories and left us in a decent state with an excellent squad. Unfortunately we''re lumbered with a few know-it-all fans that revelled in his resignation because it ''proved them right''. Neil Adams is a Norwich City man through-and-through and deserves respect for his efforts.

    If we go up this season, I''ll be thankful to both new and old Neil.

  3. No problem. Using the JustPark website to find very cheap parking spots within walking distance of the ground has proved very handy to me in the past also. Although the fact that the Macron is on a retail park would mean this would be unlikely for this particular fixture.
