Hairy Kenneth

I was only joking about pinto. Russell Martin''s magnificent long balls.

Agree Ray-so quick to bash Russ. His play from the back has been very good today and quick thinking on that free quick also good. I notice there have been crosses from pintos side-can we slate him yet?

Ok champ.

Ball bag-I am sure your coaching skills and football knowledge is second to none. Keep going with your valuable contributions-your user name says it all.

[quote user="Essjayess"]Ya seems Ryan Bs wife is expecting, plus Tettey is sent home unwell, thats why neither of them are even on bench. Under these circumstances not much Alex can do but put Russ at CB. The time to moan and groan at Martin is after the game, if that is your choice.[/quote] Totally agree-get behind the team 100 % whilst the game is on.

Just saw on another Bennetts wife due to give birth. No commitment I say-Russ managed to do both! (Joke)

I thought Bennett might be injured as he is not in the squad at all.

[quote user="alartz"]Russell is s**t. Hope lambert comes in and buys him. Worst captain ever and a terrible CB 🎣 If he starts today at CB I predict Liverpool scoring 3+ goals[/quote] The CB won''t be to blame if the goals come from a cross-it will all be Pinto''s fault!

[quote user="Oh Cameron Jeroooooooome"]I remember a game Naughton and drury went there when ayala and whitbred both went off injured and elliott bennett went right back. Not martin tho.[/quote] That was the 3-1 home win against Newcastle I think

[quote user="morty"][quote user="Oh Cameron Jeroooooooome"]Well if I''m honest I don''t remember Lambert playing him there. He ain''t a centre half of premier league quality. Time to move on to the next level. Probably be at Blackburn come the summer.[/quote]No, pretty sure he didn''t.[/quote] Lambert did use him there on occasions as we had Naughton at RB in that season. He was CB in our 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal and did a magnificent clearance off the line. I''m now off to sit in my Russell Martin shrine.

You are clearly not happy Alartz-blame the manager if that''s the team he picks. You may as well give up your season ticket now if that''s how you feel-will save you £80 or whatever the under 12 ticket is. And it there were others who had the same opinion as me-have a look at the other replies. I don''t think Bassong or Bennett have played well recently so why not try him at CB? If a single cross gets in from Pinto''s side I hope the flaming torches and pitchforks will be out in force!

[quote user="ball bag"][quote user="Keith Scott"]If Martin starts at right back tomorrow it will be disappointing. If he starts at centre back it will be an absolute joke.[/quote] This exactly, except Rm is a joke, a bad one. He needs to put himself out the absolute misery he must feel with his performances and request a transfer to a suitable non league club that might take him out of sympathy.[/quote] Good one Mr Bag-I''d suggest he''s achieved far more than you ever will in your miserable life trolling on football forums.

[quote user="alartz"]if russell martin starts at CB with bassong. I will personally walk out and I won''t be renewing my ticket. I will not waste my money watching bad team selections week in week out. When we all know RM is NOT a CB![/quote] Frees up a season ticket for someone who will support the entire team then.

Like the look of that team GJL. Although if Pinto lets a single cross in from the right I shall be going mental and probably throwing cold sausage rolls at him.

[quote user="firststeps"]I''ll boo, and loudly... the bloke is rubbish 😡[/quote] That will help. Why don''t you just support all of our players whoever the manager decides to pick? If he does pick Russ-maybe you could boo Alex Neil?

Who is it going to be Willo?

Would certainly like to see us improve in all areas-so if he is an upgrade I''m all for it. Although I have no idea if he is an upgrade.

According to The Daily Star we are after Oscar Hiljemark. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/489514/Norwich-Premier-League-rivals-Palermo-Oscar-Hiljemark I don''t know much about him but have consulted the all knowing wikepedia: Oscar Hiljemark Swedish footballers Oscar Hiljemark (born 28 June 1992) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Italian Serie A club Palermo.

Since 2014 Hiljemark lives with his girlfriend Elin Wass and his dog Milo. Club career Youth years Hiljemark played for Swedish top team IF Elfsborg. He was chased by many clubs in Sweden in his youth but decided to sign a youth contract with Elfsborg in 2008. He participated in many national team camps as a young player, and was predicted a great career for his mature style of play. IF Elfsborg Hiljemark with Elfsborg in 2012 Two years after signing with Elfsborg, at an age of 18, he earned a place in the senior team after playing in the Elfsborg and Sweden national youth teams. During his first year in the Elfsborg senior team he played 4 games in Allsvenskan and 2 games in the Europa League qualifications. He played 30 minutes in the Europa League play-off match against Napoli. The game ended with a 2–0 lost for Elfsborg after two goals from Edinson Cavani. He made his first team debut in Elfsborg''s 2–2 draw away at IF Brommapojkarna on 26 September 2010, and scored his first goal against Syrianska FC in a 2–1 home victory on 27 June 2011.[1] At an age of 18 in his true début season 2011, he was nominated as newcomer of the year, being the youngest of the nominated. He also won the prestigious Månadens Tipselitspelare prize with the jury''s citation: "Oscar Hiljemark has been endowed with a massive winning attitude that he has used to the competitive environment for the optimum development. He is a talented player who works hard and takes a mature responsibility from his midfield position." Players who also won the prize are Fredrik Ljungberg, Johan Elmander, Olof Mellberg and Kim Källström.[2] After a successful 2011 season, Hiljemark was scouted and chased by clubs such as Genoa and Club Brugge, but Elfsborg ignored the bids, as they want him for a few more seasons. PSV Eindhoven Hiljemark with PSV in 2013 On 4 January 2013, Hiljemark signed with PSV until 2017, for €2.2 million.[3] He made his Eredivisie debut on 26 January 2013 in a 5–1 away victory against Heracles Almelo, replacing Tim Matavž. He scored his first goal on 17 August 2013 in a convincing 3–0 victory against Go Ahead Eagles. With the likes of Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum in the midfield, however, Hiljemark struggled to find consistent minutes. Injuries also prevented him from establishing any sort of rhythm. Despite 49 league appearances for PSV, mostly as a late substitute, Hiljemark managed just 2 league goals in 2 years for his club. Palermo After winning the 2015 U21 European Championship, several teams were interested in the Swedish midfielder. He moved to Italian team Palermo for €2 million (plus €500.000 in add-ons), signing a four-year contract.[4] In Rosanero, he joined U21 teammate Robin Quaison. He recorded his first Serie A goal on 13 September 2015 against Carpi, a game that ended in a 2–2 draw. Six days later, he scored a brace against Milan, tying the game twice before a 2–3 loss. Hiljemark''s brilliant start to the season attracted the attention of bigger clubs. He was linked with Italian giants Milan and Napoli for a possible January transfer, as well as Premier League teams Southampton and West Ham. International career Sweden U-21 Hiljemark made his debut for Sweden U-21 on 9 February 2011 in a 1–3 loss against Portugal U21. He captained Sweden U-21 throughout their successful 2015 U21 European Championship campaign, in Czech Republic. Sweden Hiljemark was selected for the annual training camp for the Sweden national team in January 2012. He made his debut for Sweden in a friendly against Bahrain on 18 January 2012, scoring his first goal for his country. Due to his involvement with the U-21 squad, Hiljemark was not regularly selected for the senior team until after the 2015 U21 European Championship. He received his first big call-up to the senior side in November 2015 against Denmark for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs. He came on in the 81st minute of the second leg for Sebastian Larsson. International goals More information: #, Date ...

Sky sports reporter on Twitter saying we have agreed to sell Hooper to SWFC-another striker on the way in?

@danohagan on Twitter: Really, really enjoyable interview with Declan Rudd today at #NCFC. Told me he models game on Lloris and De Gea, keepers of similar build. Maybe LDC had a point!

[quote user="Mr Jenkins"]Jim Smith wrote the following post at 18/01/2016 6:36 PM: Given his wife tweeted a picture of them all driving down for their "fresh start" and there are even quotes from Neil in the sun today about what Naismith will bring to the side I would be amazed if this did not happen now. Have you been stalking his wife Jim?[/quote] That was a made up rumour by a Twitter clown yesterday-he copied her Twitter profile picture and claimed it was from her Instagram account. Which was a lie.

Excellent article

I suggest you watch that game again Simmo-a lazy back heel by Bassong set up the Vossen chance. Really scraping the barrel with that one.

Here you go Simmo-BBC match report from Wembley. One shot on target for Boro. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32776552
