Pete - I''m not wishing us to slip up or get relegated - have been a fan since 1972. I want us to finish as high as possible, but was trying to take a realistic view of what I thought may happen over the remaining games

There have been a lot of discussions on here as to whether we will get enough points to survive - but what do you think our final points tally will be - I''ve taken a look at the remaining fixtures and reckon 44 points and that''s being fairly cautious. Sunderland (a) lose Bolton (h) draw Swansea (a) lose Man U (h) lose Stoke (a) draw Wigan (h)win Newcastle (a) draw Wolves (h) win Fulham (a) lose Everton (h) win Spurs (a) lose Man C (h) lose Blackburn (a) draw Liverpool (h) draw Arsenal (a) lose A Villa (h) draw

Blackpool had 28 points after 22 games then picked up just 4 points in next 9 games - think we''ve got too much about us to fade that badly, but still won''t relax until we''re mathematically safe

Anyone know how close he is to playing first team football again - would be good to have another attacking option for the last dozen games or so.

But making chimp noises at Gareth Bale is acceptable i suppose

Obviously feeling a bit sore after a 3-1 defeat to struggling Forest

It would be a shame to undo the fantastic achievement of taking a point at Anfield by not beating Blackburn at home. However even though they are currently bottom of the table this isn''t going to be easy (nor will any game in the prem) but I''m confident that Lambert will ensure the players don''t get carried away with the Liverpool result and give a 100% against a physical Blackburn side. We have played way above the levels most people expected this season, but let''s not get carried away with talk of Europe etc as there''s still a very long way to go. I predict a v close game with us edging a 3-2 win

If you''re gettin stressed now, what you going to be like come 13th August? Lambert knows what he''s doing - just chill man

Who''s going to make way for the new signings? Our strongest 11 is probably Ruddy R Martin Tierny Barnett Whitbread Fox Crofts Hoolahan Surman Holt Jackson So who''s most likely for the chop out of that team - Fox maybe? - not sure of anyone else at this stage.

Any chance of Cardiff scoring 4 ???

Cardiff 2 Boro 1 Portsmouth 1 Norwich 3

They may well come and park the bus, so players and fans need to be patient - think we''ll win 2-0 but won''t be a complete pushover as many seem to be suggesting

Burnley 2 - Swansea 1

[quote user="Rupethebear"]Lets get promoted first and then discuss this, long way to go, not even assured a play off place yet![/quote] I agree - still some tough games to go as yet, really hoping we do it, but let''s not get carried away too soon.

He said it when interviewed on Sky after the Bristol City game - clever ploy to get us thinking about who''s ahead of us rather than worrying about the teams on our tail.

It''s been a fantastic season so far however i think the next three games in just 6 days will be the biggest test so far. Swansea and Watford Away plus Forest at home - would take 5 points from 9 if offered now.

The boy is  absolute class check out this you tube compilation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nE14YqFwvY&feature=related So glad donkey Platt stayed put - looks as if we''ve got a far better option - nice one Lambo - again!!

[quote user="hogesar"]I hate our fans. Are leading talisman, our captain and our top scorer goes down in the area after contact and everyone calls him a cheat. I know a lot of us norfolk folk like to live in our own little bubbles but if you spend anytime watching a decent forward play in this league or any other, you would know they would do exactly the same. Watching the replay there''s contact, if he feels he''s going to lose his footing, or not get to the ball in time then modern day football, whether you like it or not, suggests going down is the best alternative.[/quote] He should have stayed on his feet and focussed on whacking the ball past the keeper but unfortunately Holt''s mind doesn''t work that way. Too often he''s cheating or whinging at the ref - he may be our captain and top goalscorer, but his reputation for cheating and diving is taking the shine off the positive aspects of his game.

Could be another Doncaster type situation - let''s hope Holt finds his shooting boots for this one - missed a few good chances at Barnsley last week. The crowd needs to remain patient, just because they''re bottom of the league doesn''t mean it''ll be a walkover, especially with Rusty and Chris Brown making a return visit to Carrow Rd.

We shouldn''t take anything for granted - who would have seen Scunthorpe beating Forest 1-0 last week is a good example. The crowd need to play their part - and be patient - Doncaster are likely to stick everyone behind the ball and try and keep the score respectable - and we''re not the best when it comes to breaking down a packed defence - e.g. Cardiff at home

You''ve got to be joking right? - he''s a lazy lard arse - no thanks

Farkin binner Matt Holland is loving this in his commentary on Radio 5 live

We don''t even want to consider 3rd place and the play off lottery - let''s aim for an automatic place

Pretty much agree apart from i think a draw at Brighton and Orient and defeat at Swindon - still gives us 90 points which should secure a top two spot.

  Looks like you opened your Xmas crayons early!   [quote user="Big Bad John"][quote user="Panic Dem"][quote user="Big Bad John"][quote user="bristol_canary"]this quote is also pretty good “I''ve got 4,000 centre midfielders and three centre halves - it''s quite good that. Well thought out.”[/quote] Haha! I was just about to post that. Bit of a slant on Gunn, but i did chuckle. [:D] [/quote] I supose he wouldn''t have brought in Hughes then ? Or, given Korey Smith his chance. And of course, whilst the God Lambo is at it, I''m sure he can have a snide sideswipe at Gunn for bringing in Holt ...... Yeah, fabulously funny.[/quote] Maybe not. But then again who is to say he would not of brought a better player in? Or one just as good in a more appropriate position, as it seems now, a central defender? (that is not meant as a slant on Hughes by the way) Just because he brought in a useful player in an overly filled position, is not to say he did a good job. Who is to say he wouldn''t of? Seemed happy enough to give Francombe, Rudd, Stephens and Dawkin their debuts. ...... No point in bothering on that one. [/quote]
