Really great to read all the positivity, that's the spirit chaps. Maybe you should all join the Vital Norwich site, the only time they are quiet is when we win 👍👍👍

There is an endless list of players that have been written off within two or three games by this forum, give the young man a chance to settle in then judge him. He gives 100% and I think he will get better and better. No, I am not Lakey in disguise 😀

Update, just listened to Ashley he said y'know twice in three words, Jesus what a t****r!

Agreed, Klinsman is good, has command of English, shame the same cannot be said for Ashley Williams who says y'know every three words. Surely the basic requirement for a pundit is to have a basic vocabulary. I find most of them irritating, trying to tell me what they will happen before the match, then telling what did happen afterwards, I am able to make up my own mind not listen to often biased opinionated twerps!

Is it sarcasm or lack of brain cells?

What exactly do you mean by him playing favourites? Do you mean he is not playing your favourites?

It makes a pleasant change to read such a sensible, balanced post from a supporter of another team, let alone our nearest rivals. Quite simply, I would love them to be in the same league as us, two derbies a season would be great as long as we continue to beat them every time, everyone's a winner. Ipswich in a higher league, we get a guaranteed 6 points every year and East Anglia raises it's football profile.

It was obvious imo that he would step up, he is playing with better players in a better team. He has the ability to become a top level player.

Not according to one of the pr*ts on vital Norwich forum it is slow and crap

I don't listen to the pundits, I will make a cuppa, get another beer, go to the toilet, switch channels, anything to not listen to the "experts" when a match is on. Since the punditry has become politically correct in it's selection of pundits I won't watch football focus, overpaid people stating the obvious. I have seen and played enough football to make my own mind up.

Interesting points of view on this topic, I think he did a great job....but.....Cully and Karsa played a big part plus our squad was too good for league 1. The end result was a perfect storm. The club did well, the players did well and so did Lambert financially but now he seems, bitter, twisted and trying desperately to cling onto what will probably be his last job in football if he screws this up.......fingers crossed ! He has had his career, he should pa k up and disappear.

Six pack, how naive of you to think that he will change most people's opinions if he continues to perform as he did yesterday!

You make some very good points, I have a real life experience of a referee rising up through the system because he was politically correct, kissed the right backsides within the relevant authorities, attended the evening training sessions at the UEA, helping you get, less experienced refs, etc, etc. He ended up reffing semi pro football. He reffed me a few times and the fact was he wasn't very good but ticked all the other boxes some of which I mentioned above. He was also very keen, he made a few quid from it as well. With the shortage of refs their is pressure on the authorities to encourage and retain anyone who is interested, so from a smaller pool to start with it is normal that the levels will deteriorate. I think he is correct to criticise as the standards are falling.

I just wish someone would ask him to chew gum with his mouth shut, uncouth, arrogant northern tw*t ! 😀

If you all cast your minds back to when Krul signed, many of the idiots on here were slating him, why don't you leave it to the professionals at NCFC, they have far more idea than any of us. McGovern has been a success these past few weeks, he is an international keeper and has done a great job as stand in for a keeper that many slagged off as useless when he first joined!

Surely McLean should be slated for whatever reason as he seems to be the new scapegoat

Good shout, you should get on the Vital forum, they are experts at that !

You have to appreciate that we won so the forum will be quiet tonight, nothing for the moaners to complain about apart from Mc Govern, Steipy and Cantwell's hair and gloves 😀 OTBC

Slight change of subject but Son has just smashed in a worldy and Gary Neville has spent five minutes criticising various Arsenal players ffs, he should join this forum!

Too many people on here are getting like MOTD pundits and looking to criticise somebody when they concede a goal. You should hold your hands up and say it was a class goal. It was a superb early cross into the box which is quite rare in today's tippy tippy football and caught our defence out. Expecting a keeper to stop a free header from a few yards out is ridiculous. Goals are more often that not scored from excellent play not defensive errors although of course in hindsight we can all say the conceding team could have done something to prevent the goal!

I don't think the sports scientists and medical staff will allow tough training sessions at the moment with so many fixtures, many if not most teams are suffering excess soft tissue injuries caused by the unprecedented situation coupled with the seemingly inflexible football authorities. I would think they will be ticking over in training, nothing more.

Well bor, I watta know wot they git up ta in traynun! Suffin gorn on that hint roight!

Have you ever thought of making a career in football punditry?

Very interesting comments on here, people must realise that Emi plays on the edge, regaining possession many times when attempting the sort of tackle for the first yellow. He also plays on the edge with the referee, always in his ear complaining that he gets fouled almost every time he is tackled. The same with his team mates, last week we saw him and Aaron's arguing then Max praises him in the press. This is EMI, make the most of him, he is young, he is learning, it is easy to sit in an armchair and complain in the cold light of day at his mistakes during the heated, rough and tumble of professional football. Finally I think a decent ref would have seen the second offence was not a yellow as he was following the ball not the guy!
