During his 6 games in charge we have only really played well in one of the games which was against Liverpool were we looked like we could get something. We have been poor and 2nd best in the rest. Adams record now stands at played 6, won 0, drawn 1, lost 5, score 2, conceded 11. Failed to score in 5 out of 6, kept one clean sheet, and as of yet we haven''t been winning any of the games. He will just about be able to get away with putting today down as opening day blues, but the pressure has mounted on the next 2 homes games which come in quick succession, for him to prove he has what it takes, there is no more hiding behind ''playing the best teams in the country'' I hope he can get the results, though I''m not convinced and he has yet to demonstrate to me he has the ability to manage our club. Role on next Saturday,

Got to agree about Redmond and Ollson, both looked like players that were wondering if their agent had sorted out a move back to the premier league yet.

Question Ipswich how is spelling Norwich like this got any relevance to you? Someone told me it refers to us being beaten 7-0 by Man city? Binners are posting it like they have beaten us 7-0 at carrow road, in the extremely unlikely event of this ever happening I will take it on the chin. Until then spelling 1p5wich like this is relevant and to the truth.

got to agree, all my anger was after the Fulham game, I never expected us to get out of it with the last 4 games.

[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"][quote user="Fraz"]I agree, i said before the game defeat would send us down. It feeling like Bryan Gunn all over again. nothing short of a miracle will save us. I blame the Board, should have got rid of Hughton months ago, now look where we are. Will the fans start to call now for mcnally''s head?[/quote] FFS, it''s nothing like Bryan Gunn! [/quote] norfolkbroadslim, no I think your proved wrong, it pretty is like bryan Gunn

Got to agree, we probably have the players in our current squad to do well in the championship. Hooper and becchio are proven goal scorers at that level, both 20+ strikers. We have other player not even playing at the moment like hoolahan, fox and surman, all played a part in our promotion.

Would like to know that with the odds stacked against us of avoiding the drop and us being relegated, will McNally drop our ''big club'' status? Or will we be still changing our shirt every season and charge £50+ for the Christmas games regardless of opposition.

I blame him, he criticised the previous chef exc appointment of Bryan Gunn, has no done for me the same thing in appointing Adams, both had no managerial experience, and were the cheapest option availble.

Agree not the managers fault, he just doing as he is told no matter how out of his depth he is, the blame has to go with board and McNally, sacked hughton to late in the season and went for the very very cheap option of installing Adams with no senior team manager experience let alone premier league.

This is the same woeful away play we were playing under Chris hughton.

glad he has done well but the step between championship and Premier league is massive, many players fail to do it and of those that do few sustain it over multiple seasons you only have to look at our own squad Hooper 19 goals Bechio 15 goals ( 1/2 a season) Snodgrass 13 goals

[quote user="Frying Pan Eyes"]I didnt know there was only 34 games in a season i thought there were 38?[/quote] I wish there was because that would have kept us up

I agree, i said before the game defeat would send us down. It feeling like Bryan Gunn all over again. nothing short of a miracle will save us. I blame the Board, should have got rid of Hughton months ago, now look where we are. Will the fans start to call now for mcnally''s head?

Not sure if this is the right decision, Neil Adams with no first team manager experience. I''m glad hughton is gone but should have been months ago, would have given him the Fulham game as you are expecting someone to turn it around and flip it on its head in one week for what looks like a make or break game.

Just to add we have lost all 5 corresponding fixtures this season against the teams we play in our last 5 fixtures.

Our away form this season is the second worst in the league, only managing 8pts from 16 games, only Cardiff are worse with 7pts from 15 games. We have also lost the most away games by any team and no one has conceded more goals on the road than us( joint with Fulham ) Our percentages are poor, 0.5 pts a game, 0.68 goals scored a game, 2.44 goals conceded a game. This is not to mention how many games we have not even turned up to.

do you think after all that has been said, do you think hughton will be sacked if we don''t score today or if we lose but take some chances he may stay.

yes the whole stand need replacing  to increase the capacity.I maybe wrong but wasn''t the snake pit just the barclay overspill?I remember myself going along to swindon at home in 1996,  them days you just turned up and bought tickets on the door, going to get a ticket for the Barclay and being told it had soldout.  along with many others were force into the corner infill, you then got a mix of your beer drinking lads who when to football games to sing and abuse the opposition sitting next to the afternoon tea brigade.  From that season people just liked it and maybe still hold a grudge to being denied their place in the Barclay which formed the faction of supporters that became the snake pit.

I don''t have a season ticket and got to say since we''ve been in the premier league I go to a lot less games than I ever did when we were in the football league.  I put it down to the price of tickets and the fact the games are so readily available via the internet, local pubs and sky/BT sports.  The Fulham league game was £50-£60 which is a complete joke, it not value for money, I can take the kids to the cinema with a pizza afterwards for that, then Another thing I have noticed that it is a lot easier to get causal tickets than it used to be a few years ago, you used to have to be a super member to have any chance of getting a ticket and even then you had to queue outside the box office at 9am on a monday to get 2 tickets together.  I haven''t even bothered with the standard membership as its not really need to get tickets these days.don''t mind paying £30 a ticket for a game against the lower teams and they are the games i general would go to, though I feel that if you don''t have a season ticket (which to be fare to the club are good value) you are being priced out of football.The club needs to extended the capacity, then they could satisfy those waiting for a season ticket and have still enough seats to have reasonable casual tickets as well as allowing some low cost family/school tickets to enable the next generation of fans to come and what their local team instead of supporting Man City or Chelsea.  after all this is a big factor why our average attendance has grown by 10K in the last 10-15 years

I think he kept his job due to the high levels of injuries to the squad and used it as an excuse. Alot of the West Ham players came back about 3 weeks ago, I remember on talksport they said Big Sam wouldn''t be able to use the excuse anymore and they have since won 3 games in a row.

hughton has seemed to improve the way we are playing but his substitutions are poor and the timings are poor, look at the cardiff game 25mins between cardiff''s 2nd goal and our subs going on. I think he has a mentality of if we can get a point a game thats good (and would probably keep you up) and that is what he did last night and has done in so many games, it gets to about 80mins and he then would be happy with the point so takes off the more attacking minded players for those more defence and who can slow the game down.

we have improved the last few games, the strikers have let us down, Hughton has not improved at all during the games, his decision making as to substitutions and timings has had little or no influence and last nights substitute decisions came to bite him on the back side.

[quote user="mrs miggins"]So basically you want us to boo the whole game, amazing simply amazing. I can understand why some people want hughton out, but don''t blame the people who don''t on Mcnally[/quote] Not saying boo the whole game, its not my call but if we are a few goals down on sunday it will happen, People will start shouting against the management and possibly the board. the pro hughton out supporters are growing every poor result we get and the closer to the bottom 3 we go. as to people wanting him out, I think it is his inability to influence changes in the 90mins and adapt to changes in games quickly is why the results have no been coming. Are build up and overall game has been improving, but the stikers couldn''t hit a barn door at the moment and that is down to the coaching staff, either not injecting the right belief and confidence in the players to be able to take their chances or the players they have brought in are not good enough for this level. 64 substitutes this season. not one goal or assists, we have only managed to get something out of 2 games when we have gone a goal down.

[quote user="mrs miggins"]The board decide who goes,not the fans...you only need to look at hughton in the past[/quote] Yes they ultimately make the final decision, but the fans unrest can force the hand. If there is majority crowd unrest at the games, it affects the team and the results and the board have little choice but to get rid of the manager Just remember how Worthy left.

It is true, and the final positions in the league only count after the 38 games, but he has us sailing close to the wind being within a point of the bottom 3. I wouldn''t sleep easy if we were 1pt above the drop with one game to play.
