Bring back Eadie!

Hi all Looking at the above posts it seems that people are banking on our premiership stars Huckerby, Ashton, McKenvie, Green, Safri and Drury to help gain us promotion. I admit they certainly seperate us from the rest of the championship. However, I think championship sides this year will have learnt about our star players. I think alot of the season will depend on the so called fringe squad players. The championship is a long hard season. We all know that Huckerby, Safri and now Ashton suffer regular niggly injures that can potential keep them out for weeks at a time. The jury is out on the unknown quantities that are our new signings. All of them Colin, Jarrett, Louis-Jean, Thorne and Hughes were not premiership players, and some those that have championship experience hardly set the league on fire last year. How long will it take them to gel with the team and get used to Worthinton''s style of play. Colin looks a bargain but so did Helveg last year. Although Helveg did put in some quality performances these came after a significant time to climatise to pace and aggression of British football. We have some good youngsters such as Shacknell, Henderson and Jarvis. However, they are inexperienced and lack a strong physical presence. I agree that Shacknell should be in the first team but he will not play every game this season. It is too much to ask of somebody so young and inexperienced. Then that brings us to those people whom people don''t really like or perhaps think are not good enough for Norwich. - Francis, he is loathed at the moment but is not beyond redemption. If he puts his head down plays the football we know he''s capable of and dominates the midfield. Then that will make a huge difference to our season. - McVeigh, a man who nearly dissappeared but has good pace and knows how to find the back of net in this league. - Brennan, a real unknown quantity! Can score great goals, can play in defence and midfield. -Doherty a player with all the attibuted to be a rock solid central defender and dangerous on set pieces. -Simon Charlton, perhaps the perfect captain in the side. Outspoken and intelligent. Another player that can be used in different positions. Out championship campign is not dependent on those premiership stars but the quality of back-up in the squad. I think most of out fringe players would walk into any other championship side. The omens look good. Though a few more quality signings would certainly help.
