Looking at other ties...I wouldnt have this down as guaranteed tv Chelsea v villa Spurs v man city WBA v Wolves Forest v West Ham Newport or Eastleigh v Man Utd -
FA Cup draw tonight
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to RobJames's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Financial reasons aside....it would far better aid our players to go off for a week of warm weather training around 4th round weekend than go up there and act as training cones for 90 mins -
FA Cup draw tonight

F uck that....throw the replay I'd rather we have a 2 week break than go up there to get hammered by those c#nts -
Dont think anything has gone wrong, just dont think he was that good in the first place...its only a reasonable passing range thats sets him above a Shaun Carey ..that said he was better than Forshaw yesterday. Could do with sending him out to a top 8 League One club for the rest of the sesson to get a run of games (if he's good enough)

Idahs missed chances
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I dont really know what that would mean? Onel has put the cross in and he didnt commit to it -

Why would any striker not slide in for Herenandez's cross?!? -
Chris Sutton and the white flag
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to City Stand Ultra's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
We cant bemoan that fact that we, until 4 or 5 weeks ago, had the worst defensive record in the whole league and then criticise the mansger for doing something about it. If anything he was too slow to react defensively. The early warning signs were there in the 4-4 at Southampton and then further exposed at the shambolic Plymouth game. He did very little to try to address that for 2 whole months, until the 1-0 vs QPR. Maybe if we would have defended like we did yesterday after going in front at home to Leeds, we would have won that game? I would still say however that the signing of a good CDM would still allow us to defend and attack in a game without having to go 5 at the back -
Team for Bristol Rovers
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Priority is to win , above giving players minutes to get the Leeds game postponed on 4th round day and break up a tough looking run of fixtures. (I wouldnt trust Leeds to beat Peterboro away as Farke will pick a side to get knocked out!) We also dont particularly want a draw and a replay. Think I heard Wagner say that Barnes will start this game after yesterdays game I will guess at.. Long Fisher Batth Gibson McCallum (or Placheta if Giannoulis isnt fit) Forshaw Gibbs Fassnacht Barnes Hernandez Sargent 45mins /Idah 45mins -
Lets see what happens moving forward now with fully fit squad Today i'll put down as a one off, a back 5 picked because off the opposition I cant think that we'd play like this vs lesser opposition and will revert to a back 4. Hanley and Duffy 'should' be our first choice CB's How he sets up in fron of that will be telling. Sara and Nunez 'should' remain in our midfield

Unacceptable!
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to lake district canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
We could have gone in with a more positive formation, as we did away at Southampton..and could well have let 4 in again, I dont think we would have scored 4 though as we did in August -
Gibbs isnt a defensive midfielder, Sorenson is crocked, Forshaw??....who knows what the hell is happening there, I wont even mention the other candidate in terms of the type of midfielder required We currenntly have 'nobody' in that role, whilst other clubs are maybe trying to improve their starting XI's, we're requiring our recruitment team to improve upon 'nobody' ....I dont believe they cannot do that. However as previously mentioned, I question whether they actuslly see it as even a necessity/priority??

Of course somebody within 10 mins of Big Ben's chimes which marks the opening of the transfer window will quip "Why havent we signed anyone yet?" ...well this season it will be a serious question Now surely if the club have been acting appropriately over these past few weeks and months ,they will have identified and lined up a defensive midfielder to walk through the door within the next 48 hrs or so to address the gaping hole in the team If not ,we can only assume this isnt seen as a priority or a nessessity?, either of which is gross neglegence

Reasons for Wagner to stay?
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to Canary Jedi's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
He clearly was able to persuade the board that the injuries we've had were a mitigating factor. Well that excuse has been removed now he has an almost (bar giannoulis) full squad available It now purely stands of falls on his team selections and subs -
Sara, is his talent being wasted?
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to Bradwell canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
He should be at very least eclipsing Gustavo Hamer at Coventry last season , who got 9 goals and 6 assists, which was enough to earn him a premier league move That is of course he wants to stay in England, Spain or Italy maybe his next preferred destination -
Southampton Predictions
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to Midlands Yellow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Assuming Wagner doesnt 'actually' draw names out of a hat when picking his team, if think it will be similar to Leicester (home), we'll attempt to combat their passing game by putting an extra midfielder in by playing all 3 of Sara Nunez McLean...probably put up a reasonable show but ultimately get picked off ..0-2 -
Sara, is his talent being wasted?
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary replied to Bradwell canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Yes , there is a 12-15 goal a season midfielder there if he was allowed to play further forward and not be asked to be ball winning on the edge of his own box or dropping deep to pick the ball up from the back 4
