  1. In all honesty I’ve not seen enough of the guy play for us to be able to tell if his passing is as bad as you say it is. I’ve not watched his career at other clubs closely enough to be able to form an informed opinion about him either. I’m sure he can pass a ball to some degree, he’s a championship level professional footballer. His lack of game time is more likely to be over some contractual situation that we’d be committed to if he played more rather than his inability to pass a football.
  2. I mean obviously I’d also take that, even if it meant us finishing 7th.
  3. A few weeks ago I was dead set that the dream scenario for this season for us would be that Ipswich would blow the autos then we’d go up in the playoffs at their expense. Unfortunately, you can’t choose what happens in football (other powers do that), but in case they’re listening, here’s what I’d like now please. Ipswich to take second, us to go up in the playoffs (cos that would really pi$$ on their parade, then, the really tricky bit - them to get relegated next season while they watch us stay up. thank you.
  4. Some managers just don’t know when they’re on to good thing. Should’ve stayed put
  5. I always think scoring headed goals is bit of a knack thing, you either have it or you don’t, unfortunately the football world isn’t so keen on heading these days so it’s likely to die out. Football is more interested in how many passes it can put together in build up to a perfect goal. its a good weapon to have.
  6. Tim krul is a goalkeeper that needs games to find his rhythm. He was always shakey in the beginning or for the first few after returning from being out. As a bit part keeper they’re never gonna see the best of him unfortunately. Great keeper for us though but so pleased we have Gunn.
  7. By the time SVH is allowed near the team properly , his loan will have expired. Sainz got the same treatment if you remember. Yes, I know there was a portion of this season where Sainz was injured but there was also a large portion after that where he was a perma-sub. Then the pressure to play him built to the point he was then brought in coincidence or not) from nowhere and the rest is history. Wagner is a strange guy I think. Hard to fathom.
  8. A beautiful version, lost forever! I love that. It would never happen today though for two reasons. 1) hardly anybody sings anyway, 2) the stone island brigade are in too much of a hurry to spit their words out. Seriously though, it’s no coincidence that the best sounding football songs always seem to be the slower ones.
  9. Wagner can still make himself THE most loved NCFC manager of all time. All he has to do is lead us to the PL via a home league win v’s Ipswich followed by a playoff win against them! Easy! That’d pretty much cement him in canary folklore and probably be the biggest comeback from a manger ever!
  10. As it stands, they wouldn’t be anything special, but that would change if they played in the English league and I’d expect both to be top EPL clubs within 3-5 years. To Think otherwise would be naive.
  11. He’s been quality. Deserves way more credit than he gets. Always has in my book. He’d be very hard to replace.
  12. At least we won’t have to put up with the moaners tgat complain to the stewards every game, write in to the EDP or even the council for standing at a football match. Long, long overdue in my opinion.
  13. Funny how people see things differently because I’ve always thought he seems the type of player that could develop into a very good centre half. More so than a midfielder to me.
  14. I guess it would be hard to call that anything other than a success.
  15. I remember thinking Vrancic was an absolute joke of a player in his first season. He went on to make himself one of my favourite players of that era, maybe even if all time. He was class but I had written him off early on.
  16. I think Idah is going to score a hatful up there I really do.
  17. Might be better to do one of those things in the 6 minute (that is his squad number is t it?) - assuming he starts of course. Most people join in with those regardless so there’ll be bigger buy in.
  18. We just have to find a way of getting Sara into Barnes’ position. Ive nothing outright against Barnes, but I’m just struggling to see how he’s making an impact on games. If there’s one piece of transfer business I’d like to see happen this window, it would be to find a midfielder tailor made for the position Sara is currently being asked to ply, so we can release him into Barnes current position. We’d have far more goals in this team if we could do that I’m sure. When Sara gets forward he transforms into the player we know he is. Such a waste as a deep lying midfielder. One piece of elusive transfer business could make such a difference to this team. Asking for another Skipp is probably to tall an order but there has to be another Trybull out there surely.
  19. This was clearly a last summer thing. Don’t allow yourself to get your hopes up folks
  20. I’m very disgruntled and disillusioned at the way this club is being run right now, but he’s right, the players do deserve our support and as fans, that’s what we should be doing. It’s our job. Doesn’t change my displeasure at how Delia is choosing to play out the end game though.
