Miracles can happen!!!

I guess this is something that the club will keep to themselves as usual...lets face it at present they only announce statements on what they feel is good news. Well I was one of the season ticket holders who had their ticket "automatically" renewed back in February, as part of the 12 month interest free payment scheme. Under this scheme, if you did not advise the club by the end of Feb, that you wanted to cancel then the assumption was that you wanted to renew for next season. I wonder how many of the 18,000 renewed in the same way?? After all back in Feb, we didn''t know if we would avoid relegation, nor how Bryan and the "Dream Team" would do. So a very clever move by the club, as most of the people that I know who had this option, said that they would wait until the end of the season before deciding what to do.Since we got relegated, I decided to wait to see what action would be taken, both at board and managerial level, to ensure that we stand every chance of getting promoted, or at least make the play offs. Well know we now, that our board consider that a management team with a record of - played 19, won 5, drawn 5 and LOST 9!! - is the recipe for success, in what is going to be a very tough league. Not to mention the fact that we lost 5 out of our last 6 games!So to confirm your thoughts above, I am now one of the season ticket holders, who has decided to cancel, and will be asking for a refund of the monthly payments that I have already made towards next seasons ticket. Its not something I thought that I would do, but for me, enough is enough. Once again, the board has made a very poor decision in appointing the manager (Gunn was a great player and a great ambassador for the club - but in my opinion is too inexperienced for the job that lies ahead), and yet again are just taking us for mugs!! I can also confirm, that all of the other 5 people who sit with me have decided to do the same this week. For us the appt of BG, IC and IB was the final straw.I hope that come December, I look back and think that I made a big mistake, as we sit at the top of League 1, but I really fear that this will not be the case, and even worse is still to come.

HiI have 2 tickets available for the Charlton game, in the South Stand Block C.Coach tickets also available if required.If anyone is interested, in these, drop me a message.

[quote user="Hoolahoop"]Is that headline meant to be a joke!?[/quote] Nope, apparantly we are fielding our youth team.....might even stand a chance!!

[quote user="Graham Humphrey"]I can''t help but notice several people have missed out Bell. This says a lot about his impact on the match. [/quote] Did he play?????????

No doubt that he was in poor form....but could this be another case of a manager not getting the best out of the players that he has.......seems that JC has rediscovered his form!

Have to agree that Doc & Croft were definitely our best players today....and both gave 100%, which in some cases looked to be 100% more than others. Hard to say who had the worst game, becuase there were too many poor performances to pick from!

Hard to find 3 on current form! Doncaster managed 6 points from the Xmas period compared to our 3, and Forest showed yesterday, that currently they have more fight than us! Only 2  I can see below us at the moment are Charlton (worst team I have seen for ages, and we still only just beat them 1-0), and Soton. I think that a big reality check is on its way to Carrow Road, with League 1 and administration a real possibility.

I don''t think that it really matters what is done, either by way of protests, or boycotting the game, as to me it seems that the damage that has been done over the last 3 seasons will take a lot of time to be repaired. Unfortunately, unless there are 3 teams that remain worse than us during the second half of the season, I truly believe that we will be in league one, before any potential remedies have time to work for the better. I for one will not be at the Barnsley game, not because I don''t care, but because I cannot stand to watch an NCFC team that shows such a dreadful lack of passion and committment to our shirt!! Yesterday Forest, had both of these in abundance! Perhaps if there were enough empty seats at the home games, the board and the management would start to take some notice, and wake up to how badly in decline our club is (although I wouldn''t count on it!!). At the moment, they just do not deserve the fantastic support they are getting week in week out. 

You seem to think that booing upsets our players!! Just visit the VIP lounge of a local nightclub to see how upset they really are!!

Great post. I can however understand that maybe a lot of people were laughing and joking, in an attempt to cheer themselves up after watching yet another dreadful game!! The last two home games, Forest and Charlton are the worst that I have seen for years!! I find the lack of passion from these so called "professional" footballers very worrying, and on this form League 1 is looking more and more certain. I have had a season ticket for years, but vowed that if we did not take 6 points from Forest and Charlton, which lets be real, was essential, that I would not go again until some dramatic changes are made, and pride and passion for the club on the pitch returns!! So for the time being, thats the last time I will be going to Carrow Road, as it seems to me that the only thing that will make an impact is empty seats!

Interesting to see that people are saying that Robinson is now the worst ever City player. He did have a poor game on Saturday, although personally I felt that Etuhu was far worse, as did most papers, giving him the lowest marks. It''s all well saying that these players should be dropped, but who have we got to replace them with? I think our midfield contributes to most of the problems, as we lack any quality players. This means that our forwards never get good service, and the defence is always under pressure because we give the ball away so cheaply. Any combination of Hughes, Etuhu, Robinson, Safri and McVeigh, in my opinion, is not going to give us a midfield that dominate games. With the exception of McVeigh, who just seems to have lost his way at present, the others are average players at best, who were signed by a manager who squandered what money he had (Hucks and Ashton obvious exceptions!!). Perhaps the board will give PG some much need funds, to get some new blood in our dire midfield come January, although somehow I won''t be holding my breath.

QPR away easy? I take it that you didn''t go there last year then?? If you can recall, that was one of away day "belters"!! 3-0 down inside twenty minutes, and a shambolic display. Hmm sounds like Plymouth away, except we managed a consolation goal! I really can''t see how its going to change overnight, when our away form has been so dreadful for the last 3 seasons. Somehow, even if we do manage to win these next two games, I think a decision has been made, from which there is no return.

I don''t think that you can argue that during his first three years, Worthy did bring success to the club. Certainly the promotion season was his highlight, largely due to the signings of Crouch & Huckerby. These were inspired, and gave the season the kick start it needed to lead us to winning The Championship. Unfortunately in football, that is now light years away from where we are today, and his acheivements since then, have been at best average, and at worst an utter shambles. I think its fair to say, that he has taken us full circle, and is now at the end of his career with Norwich. I just feel its a shame that he has hasn''t got the dignity to admit, that he can take our club no further, and resign. It would be better for him, the club, the supporters, rather then hang around for the inevitable to happen. Maybe I''m cynical, but could this possibly be down to wanting a pay off to go?? I hope not, and still would like to think that he will do the right thing.

Yes he has had some successes, but they are all in the past. What has he acheived since we won The Championship. Does relegation count as a success, or how about capitulating at Fulham when all we needed was a point to maintian Premiership status. How many successes did we have last season, especially away from Carrow Road, and how many so far this season. 6 wins out of our last 47 away games in the league.......says it all. While that form continues, we will never get promotion. Time for a change, while we still have three quarters of the season left.

Shrimper......nice thought, but absolutely no chance, especially as you missed out the two away games at QPR and Birmingham, where I expect us to get NIL points if you know who is still in charge. Would love to know if you go to the away games....if you do, then you must see that there is no way, under the current set up that we will get enough points away from home to make the play offs.

Re record season take up   -   errrr, haven''t we sold less that at this stage last season, so how can that be a record? As for "minority rabble", at 2-0 down that was a very "large minority" chanting. Also, in every part of the ground, there are large numbers who have all had enough, and want W to go, but chanting is not there style. If Delia really wants harmony back, and to stop deviding the supporters, the solution is all too simple. If you think its bad now, just imagine what it will be like 12 games in to next season, and we are outside the top 6!!

Re 500 want him out......at 2-0 down, I''m sure there were a lot more then 500 chanting Worthy Out....even some in the River End, and City Stands. More like 500 want him to stay.....

Today was a huge step foward................. if W stays, it is a huge step forward into the abyss!!

Yes we are an absolute disgrace, in that given the rubbish that is served up each week, over 24,000 still turn up!! The board could soon improve the atmosphere in the ground by doing what so obviously will happen, either n0w, or 10-12 games in to next season when it will be too late!! Surely, take a hit cost wise now rather then to let W waste even more of our parachute monies on dreadful transfer signings. Looking at the team against QPR.....Gallagher made some excellent, if at times fortunate saves, certainly could have been 4 of 5 against but for him, Spillane hopefully he was injured otherwise why was he taken off, Doherty, Shackall and Drury all had decent if average games, Hughes simply dreadful, although lets face it  pure tactical genius to play him out of position at right back!, Robinson and Etuhu both awful why did we sign either of them, Hucks good second half (without him we would never stand a chance), Jarvis, why have we given him a 2 year contract? Earnie showed us what he can do given the service. Why was JJ2 on the bench, as he gave them all sorts of problems when he came on, and gave Earnie loads of extra space..another Worthy master stroke.   

Re 6 home wins in a row..........all against teams either with nothing to play for, or at the bottom end of the table...fantastic. What about our away record, and have you looked at how many clean sheets we have kept this year, plus our goals for and against. We will never get promoted by winning just at home, and getting stuffed away. For those of you who thought that yesterday was bad, it was nothing compared to how awful we were when we played them at Loftus Road......and lets be honest QPR aren''t exactly the Brazil of this league.

Honest Joe.......absolute rubbish!!  1.  He didn''t get us there last year, we were already there!! And lets be honest, we didn''t have a great time results wise, until the last few games, when it was virually too late. Even then our awful away record let us down...remenber Fulham, or the way we let a 3-1 lead slip away against Palace...that result alone would have meant Prem fooball again this season. 2. Stopped us going down the year before...don''t think so, as that was the year we won the Championship, and the year before we finished 8th!! Before that it was 6th ( and lets not forget the tactical genius of a substitution in the play off final that cost us that game!!). If he stays in charge, I fancy us to see League 1 football a long time before we ever get back to the Prem........yesterdays game was just awful.....Worthy should pay his next years wages to Gallagher for saving his skin. I sit in the Jarrold stand, and everyone around us was saying he should go....not one person in our immediate vicinity wants him here. As a bad manager he is now right up there with Hamilton......nobody, especially football managers, or players can live on past glorys. Lets hope we have a big summer clearout, starting with W and his staff, then the deadwood players who need to go.     

Wrong. My first payment was taken out on 27th March.

The fans fault?? What the fans need is for the players to perform well. The second half at Leeds away was a great example of how the supporters will get behind our team, if they give us something to support. It is very difficult to get behind them when they play the dross they played at Luton, QPR, Hull, Burnley, etc. I don''t blame the players, just the idiot who picks the team, and applys the tactics. Can anyone tell me why he played a 4-5-1 formation against a team who had lost their last six without scoring a single goal, and were obviously there for taking. Oh, I forgot, it worked at Leeds, so it would almost certainly work again. The man is a tactical "genius"!! And lets not forget, this was a game we had to win to keep any small chance of the play-offs alive.

Training????? You mean they actually train to play like that? Incredible!

I can''t believe that you forgot Jarrett in your list.......the biggest piece of crap of the lot!! Just goes to show what an impact he made on this truly magnificent season.
