DS. “I don’t know how the fans are feeling”
The Great Drinkell replied to STAN's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
we need to give him time, I'm told by a friend of mine who lives in the Birmingham area, that he's a top guy and passionate about football and they feel he was harshly treated by Villa. - Given time and a little bit of license in the transfer market - even if it's sell to buy. I just hope he brings a style that entertains. Last Saturday was Houghton revisited, so bad after 60 minutes I turned over and watched Cambridge. -
anybody who's played the game will relate to this - having beaten your man to get hauled down is so frustrating. I'm just glad Williams took time before he reacted impulsively.

Daniel Farke anyone?
The Great Drinkell replied to OnDaBall's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
The football we played under Farke was more enjoyable and structured- in fairness the results werent any better though. I think Smith will do okay but his Villa Squad was stronger than we have currently got. -
Leicester had one Mr Shakespeare at this time I believe. - and there's no substitute for experience.

no doubt, standing terraces at matches reduced the crowd noise/participation at most grounds

No problem with this, we did the same business as Leicester, West Ham and Leeds all of these clubs have rich owners but didn't/couldn't spend. I think we need a DCM if Norman is gong to be in and out but if we get the plyers back then against 30% of the league we give ourselves a chance. The transfer window is hyped by the media

Derby’s late equaliser
The Great Drinkell replied to CANARYKING's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
My thoughts exactly - defender should of fallen to the floor clutching his head !! -
VAR offside should be based on feet only generally the forward is leaning towards goal with the defender leaning away from goal - the rule used to be a player "standing" in an offside position. It would surely make the decision easier and therefore quicker - if its not clear then the on field decision stands. I dont think VAR should check every goal either.

Who Have You Met
The Great Drinkell replied to Midlands Yellow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Honestly one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. I was lucky enough to be coached by Mendham, Ian Crook and Steve Bruce all really good "normal" guys. -
Its a fair point , I dont see any of our players not trying some are individually not to PL standard and as a collective we are falling well short. - does that mean we should insult players? Ive no issues with people expressing opinions, - even ones I don't share- or constructive criticisms and as a pro footballer you should be able to accept these - if not dont read them. - but you shouldnt be subject to abusive personal attacks. IMO.

Not had a good couple of weeks although picking Ipswich and them no winning is sort of a win/win. This week for Young Kevin, I'll go for Blackburn to Beat Bristol City (who can't buy a win, so they'll be happy I've picked Blackburn :-)) For Kathy, a very difficult week to be handed this task but with the weight lifted of finally getting the first win and a united Carrow Road crowd - I'll suggest a narrow 2-1 victory. Good luck to both pickers

Good afternoon Pups, and in particular our weekly pickers, For the Big 6 I'd have a look at Plymouth taking the 3pts back to Devon after a trip to the Imps As for the match bet I too think Normann might be the man and would take a punt on him to score first. All the very best, have a great weekend all.

Thanks NN at 1-1 i thought we might be on for much bigger things. Really poor weekend and hardly a silver lining but a few quid in the pot gives us a little sparkle. Really bad luck Graham Well fingers crossed for next week for us and the team Thanks for the opportunity NN and thanks to all for your selections

Evening Pup's Thanks for your selection's a good variation and it seems most of you think this is the game that will see us gain our first 3 points of the season? With confidence high and a selection of possible goal scores I'm splitting the bet like this please Nutty. Any one of these bets come in and we'll show a profit - Fingers Cross Norwich Win £5 Fun Bets Omobamidele to score at any time £1 Norwich to win from behind £1 Watford to miss a penalty £1 Safety Net - (just look at our record v Watford) Both teams to Score Watford Win £2 Great motivational press conference today by the Boss, I hope all of you who are going to the game listen to DF and can help our boys turn this into a celebration. Again thanks for this opportunity Nutty - lets hope this, and Grahams selections can add some money to the CSF Pot. wishing you all a great weekend and enjoy the match.

Good afternoon Pup's and thanks for the lovely intro NN. Now then Pups last time I did this task, I found a bit of value with a Russell Martin worldy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkkd7l5dJ if you want to see it. and was a season ticket holder - nowadays I'm an armchair fan due to the varying KO times - but no less enthusiastic - but with no Russel Martin! So I'm going to need each and everyone of you to help this week please I shall post my bets on Friday evening so please keep them coming. For Graham and the big 6 I'll predict a Exeter to beat Sutton and wish him all the best with his selections. Get those selections in please guys & gals.
