[quote user="jas the barclay king"] Tony Warner did well in his loan spell here. id have him back.   [/quote] Did He? I thought he was pretty poor!

Well no there has been no research... but the poll on the main pinkun page (webteam, how many votes have there been???) has 70/30 against Gunn. Which i would think would have a decent level of votes. Ok i said 80, but not 70. But, still a large majority. And despite living, working around Norwich i have yet to meet anyone pro Gunn!

It seems to me that if the current board stayed then Gunny was favourite for the job, with Donny and Mumbles gone we can all at last hope that the new board members at carrow road will have the same feelings as 80 % of NCFC fans and qucikly realise that we need a new manager as a top priority. Keep the Faith!!

oh how i will miss the one footed headless chicken, who cannot cross. How will we replace those runs from wide right, into a left handside cul-de-sac has his lack of left foot becomes blindingly obvious.

[quote user="K Lo"][quote user="A Gower"]Haven''t Brighton got a new ground next season?[/quote] According to Wikipedia on Brighton''s new ground: "the target date for opening is August 2011" so no. [/quote] I''m sure we''ll still be around to see it!

Back to Brighton As for Yeovil...  Far left doesnt look great!   My garden shed....  

From This to this.... in 4 Years . Prudence With NO Ambition    

[quote user="Lupo Loop"]I take your point but at least he recognised the need for a new defence. He didn''t rate Doherty, Shackell and Otsemobor. He tried his best to replace these with Kennedy, Stefanovic and Omosuzi. Unfortunately the injury to Stefanovic meant that he had to play these players again. Thats my issue with Gunn he had misguided loyalty towards players like Otsemobor, Russell and Doherty. Players that Roeder didn''t rate. I think in the end Roeder was proven right on a lot of these players.[/quote] U say this; but our defensive record under roeder was better than rodents! When Kennedy, omozusi, stefanovic had all for one reason or another departed the scene!

Roeder   Played 27   Won 7, Drew 5, Lost 15, Points 26, F 32, A 43 Gunn      Played 19   Won 5, Drew 5, Lost 9,    Points 20, F 25, A 27 Ponts Per Game - Roeder 0.96   Gunn   1.05 The Facts are there for all to see, Gunn hasnt improved Norwich. Hehas shown nothing, his tactics are naive, his approach baffling and he is certainly not the man to take us back to the championship. We need an experienced manager, a winner, Not Bryan Gunn. Its 3 years too late, but the board finally need to show some ambition to get us out of this hole; if Gunn Stays my Season Ticket will be returning. Considering i play football myself on Saturdays and can only attend half the home games; i am now questioning why on earth i renewed. No Players, No Hope,No Clue It isn''t Gunns Fault, he shouldnt have been given the job; but what worries me is he cant see its time to move on. Post thye Barnsley game, Gunn as a full time manager has picked up 17 points from 18 games. 0.94. And that is worse than roeder. Even at Gunns 1.05 a game; a total of 48 points wouldnt have kept us up. Delia, Doomcaster, Mumbles; its time to face facts....he may have no hair, but he also has no clue GUNN MUST GO

Well i saw Tony Adams walking to his car on Morrisons Car Park... ..rumour has it he''d just been for a job interview inside

...there was me thinking Croft mmust be good, just because he''s better than Carney! Delia would give him a run for his money!

and we can sing "my garden shed..." at every away game!

[quote user="Snakepit boys"]I would say it sums up the level of our football, when a useless, headless, huff and puff winger that cant cross wins player of the year! [/quote] This was the funniest thing about tonight And even though our seasson has been so poor; he still shouldnt have got near the award; the odd game where a one footed dribble comes off, the odd goal. Marvelous! If Croft leaves on a free i for one wont be bothered, because he wouldnt pull up any trees in league one!

He certainly has to go. People don''t relise that his points to game ratio is only marhinally better than rodents, hardly an achievement is it. In January, a good manager (such a boothroyd) would have kept us up, i dont have a doubt. We have shown what we are capable of, we are not one of the worst 3 teams in this division; but if you dont perform enough, get the best out of your players on a coinsistent enough basis then you deserve to go down. The table doesnt lie, neither does Gunns Record... I don''t know who we could have for league one next season; boothroyd is still available, but we may have missed the boat with him; but what i do know is that even though Bryan Gunns at home at NCFC, his home isnt in the dug out!

Huckerby... Tonight, in a tight game (untill they scored), we needed a spark. There defence in places a quite slow, and there were opportunities on the counter attack...if we''d have had a certain winger (and no i''m not talking about Lee Croft), we may well have just created something that made the difference. Tonight was a great example of what Glen Roeder lost when he released our most dangerous player, the ability to create out of nothing, the spark, the difference in a tight game, that x factor. I firmly believe that with a D. Huckerby on the Norwich teamsheet this season we wouldnt be staring at league one; we wouldnt be at the top; but in those home games against Coventry, Sheffield Wednesday, Tonight; in the 2nd half;...even as an impact sub... Thank You Glen Roeder Thank you for ripping the heart out of NCFC, and Thank You for your pig ignorant decisions, arrogant decisions that have ultimately lead to third division football at Carrow Road. Thanks a ****** lot!

[quote user="TheCanaryFan"] Or just dont turn up. [/quote] Fair Enough But if they want to go and have paid for tickets can''t blame them, ''city till i die'' and all that!

Lets keep our chins up, and look on the bright side of life!  - The Johnson''s Paint Trophy. Could we win it??!! -  We won''t have to visit the urban deprivated area of Ipswich. -  Young energetic players like Spillane, Martin & Mcdonald getting a good chance -  Less loans?!

...please, i urge you 3,300 poor souls at next weeks relegation party at the Valley. Please, please, please end the ''bryan gunn, he''s got no hair'' chanting; if you mdo care, you will realise that if we are to have any hope in league one next season it will be with an experienced manager, somebody with a tactical brain. If you 3,300 do what the lap of honour watchers did tonight you will succeed in giving Bryan Gunn the job next seaosn, which would be an unmitigated disaster. I don''t care what he''s done, i don''t care who he is; its nothing personal, its not his fault, BUT that doesnt mean he should be  given this worsip. All it does is succeed in telling our clueless, naive, cheapscate board that we are happy with him in charge, and im sure they will oblige. By all means sing your hearts out with "city till i die", "on the Ball city", but no repetative Gunn Chants, unless of course you want us to be staring at league two in 12 months time...

After Grants Scottish Invasion, Roeders Culls (Stage one + two) and the Gunn loan spree, this summer looks like being another manic summer, relegation will probably end hope of the loan players staying, well the ones we want anyway! Who will we have left? GK: Nelson, Rudd DR:   Otsemobor DL: Drury DC: Doherty, Spillane MR: ???? ML:???? MC: Russell, Lathrope, Smith, Adeyami S:   Mcdonald,  Martin   Who will go? - Marshall will be worth cashing in on, especially if Rudd is as good as being made out - Clingan. Although i ca''t see any prem interest forthcoming, and would think he might have the decency to stay after only one year if the only option is the championship. -Croft. He can go as far as im concerned. No quality. Premier league ur having a laugh. -Hoolahan. Good player who would do well at many championship clubs, may not suit rough and tumble of league one so could be another to go. After that... Cort- Get rid. Cant afford to clog up the wage bill with 2nd rate injury prone has beens Fotheringham - Dont see a future for him Pattison - Would do ok in league one, perhaps unfairly left out by Gunn. Unrepairable rift? Cureton - Would probably do ok in league one, but we need a different kind of stiker to complement martin and mcdonald. Daley/renton/eagle - None will ever make it. Kings Lynn might as well ave a look at them now, and in Rentons case, wroxham! plus of course Shackall - Too good for league one Leijer - Dont see him coming back kere Carney - Lack of quality, could do ok in league one but dont see it happening Gow - championship club will get him bertrand - ditto Lee- could be the only one who stays, if we ca afford him   Its going to be another busy summer!    

Huckerby still would have picked us up points this season, that spark out of knowhere, that piece of magic. Today was a prime exam,ple, the ball in good areas, especially with croft, no end product, no quality, no nothing. Huckerby would have troubled the scummersthe way the game played out..unfortuantely we had no such outlet. I said when Hucks was released it was a mistake, but i also said i''d wait for the new heroes...well im still waiting. Too many loans, too many effort players with no quality. No Magic, No Spark, No Huckerby = Relegation i''m afraid. It''s been on the cards for a couple of seasons now with things getting progressively worse. The last mistake, dare isay it was the appointment of Gunn...yes he has passion, but no experience, no tactical knowlege no management skills and not many results. His points per game record is only marginally up on roeders (albeit he has had to pick up the pieces); would we have got relegated under an aidie boothroyd figure, i dont think we would. Tactical decisions have cost us points, the board have got it wrong again and we have to suffer the consequences.

and you havent mentioned the mercurial lee croft thorpey, the most over rated player since, well to be honest ever probably! A poor mans huckerby, more like a bankrupt credit crunched mans huckerby. How so many love our winger, who delivers one adequate cross a game if we are lucky is totally beyond me. He was flippin useless today, and if he goes on a free in the summer i for one wont be too worried, for league one i reckon we could find someone cheaper who can run...because he does little more. Grab the odd goal, (the sheff utd one was deflected before you  keep telling me how amazing he is just because of that). Him and otsemobor on the right today were embarresingly bad, although singling them out is probably unfair, as said marshalls kicking is atrocious, must run in the name, and the scummers steam rollered our midfield, clingan( although i still rate him) and russel were anonymous and to be honest the 2nd half in all was pathetic. Cody gives me hope, as does the return of Martin and Micky. Today, however has sealed our fate....day trip to Yeovil anyone?

The last time i saw, ipswich still had 2,000 tickets on general sale for the game tomorrow, so with so many Norwich fans missing out have any of you brought tickets for the home sections?  

Marshall     7  Solid game, and one stunning save onto the bar otsemobor   7  Looking much better, much more confident. Good performance Bertrand   7   Solid, did a good job. Doherty   7   Generally sound, but still gives me one to many panicy moments a game Shackall   9   MOTM   Outstanding. Sign Him Up. Tackles, blocks, headers, he got in the way of everything and won everything. Carney   5   Poor. no urgency, wasteful in possesion. I was crying out for croft and thats saying something! Russel   8   Impressed. Prooved me wrong, didnt think he was disciplined enough for us but was everywhere, running the midfield. Clingan   6   Dissapointing, far from his best. Caught in possesion a bit too often for my liking Gow   7   First half struggled to make an impact (6), but got better as the game went on. Our most creative force. Mooney   6   Struggled. Didnt make the most of the ball when he had it, didnt hold it up and generally struggled. Lee   8   The sort of player we''ve missed in recent times. Caused havoc, harshley treated by the ref. Had a crucial presence. Subs: Croft 6 - struggled to make an impact, Drury and Lappin, limited time to impress!  

You can talk all you like about Alan Lee up front, but for me there was only one contender for man of the match. Jason Shackall didn''t miss a header, he held our back line together and as doherty said afterwards has made a massive difference. I''ve always rated shackall and was sorry to see him pushed out under Roeder, but he seems to have returned an improved player, and if we could only keep one loan player i think Shackall would be the one i choose, although Gow is another i''d love us to keep. Shackall put his body on the line today, block after block, header after header, he won everything, made 2 crucial 1st half interceptions top rescue us and was  absolutely awesome. He could, just could be the player that keeps us up...  

Paddon... I don''t believe we would have got relegated under aidy boothroyd for one, cheap option oncxe again, and if we go down jacxk of all trades gunn will keep the job becasue it wasn''t his fault; if we stay up though he''ll keep it because he''s done a ''remarkable job''!
