GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary

Nobody thinks he should be starting here but he has the capability to make something happen or even score late on off the bench as he had shown this season. We've replaced him with a white elephant who they dont want to use, so we've weakened our own bench

We've certainly learned 2 things today.. If we did scrape 6th place and run into Leicester over 2 legs we'd have no chance ii) We now categorically know that Wagner doesnt trust Van Hooijdonk because how else wouldnt you throw in another striker when youre a goal down with 5 mins to go? I'm damned sure Idah would have come on in those circumstances. How have we left ourselves with such a paceless lack of options on the bench? There's some bad luck with the injuries to Rowe (hopefully back on Saturday??) and Hernandez but the Idah/Van Hooijdonk decision is completely self inflicted

Hope we dont regret not restoring Duffy. If he's fit we must surely be playing a recognised centre half??

....ok, we'll play it your way

...or maybe you could just take the hint and pi ss off?

Ipswich fan on here laying out idle threats to norwich fans on a norwich forum... Run along, it only goes one way from here

Andy 'Judas' Marshall...

...just cant see us getting through a second leg at Elland Road unscathed.

It seem too early...and for what? How long does it take to count votes? The full story of this season wont have been written by mid April

'That doesnt stop you for voting for him' No? Well if you are in agreement that he was therefore awful for about a third of the season, is this a vote of sentiment? ...because if we're ignoring that period of the season and looking at our upturn from December onwards, there is Sargent , 13 goals, Jonny Rowe, 12 goals in his full debut season, Sara 10 goals, 10 assists, Gunn, best keeper in the league, sorely missed when out injured, all performed as well and better since that point ...or as I stated earlier in this thread, a player who has performed consistently well over the entire season, Jack Stacey

Some selective memory going on here from Sept to early December

A mainstay of a team that has fallen from winning this league twice to clinging onto the last playoff place because that department on the field wasnt sufficiently improved? Maybe it was the fact we had the best defensive midfielder in the league in Skipp that helped us to 97 pts last time....and now with him gone with the 'mainstay' still here ,we're now 20 pts off the pace File it in the draw marked 'Lee Croft and Spencer Prior' I'd like my POTS to have not been blo0dy awful for about a third of the season

...therefore, what was good enough 3/5 seasons ago, no longer is

'better performers' 😄..our porous midfield was terrible in those months and he was front and centre in it, the nadir being Plymouth away and Blackburn home Maybe his stint in defence has made him more defensively tactically aware. Should also be noted that we are 20 pts off the top 3, so our midfield of today is clearly not as good as it was in this league 3 and 5 seasons ago? Sargent being fit all season would have now had us a gyaranteed playoff place however I'm not sure that alone wouldve made up that shortfall

There are no 'free hits' between now and the end of the season?! If we lose on Monday and Coventry win, theyre a point behind us with a game in hand. Both Coventry and Hull and beaten Leicester this season, we should be going there looking to get something

Why is Leicester a free hit??

McLean was as bad as anyone ,if not worse in the first third of the season ....particularly the dark days of sept-nov, where he was cuplable in a wide open midfield being carved apart resulting in our having the woest defence in the league at one point,shipping 2 a game. That only ended when he was taken out and put into defence. Stacey was still relatively consistent even in those bleak months. If our upturn in form has conincided with Sargents return and we're looking at that as a 'starting point' whrn handing out POTS awards,he's as good a shout as any ,as is Sara and Gunn ...but for a consistent performer from Aug - now ,I's still maintain Stacey

...possibly, but the way Leicester are playing at the moment, I wouldnt trust them to even take advantage from there

"If they really want to screw Ipswich, they'll let us win" They can't even help themselves at the moment..

Finish 5th....southampton in semi....then west brom in the final

Been our most consistent player over the 'whole' season.

Forest dont seem to think they need him...and they're in the bottom 3 !

Derby's record next season is definitely under threat if they do somehow fluke this...

Dont think there's been a more ordinary team in the top 2 this far into season than that lot, probably since Warnock's Cardiff team who finished runners up to Wolves a few seasons ago...and I'd include last season's bang average Sheff Utd in that Shame on Leicester and Southampton Even if we lost to Leicester on Monday, and beat Ipswich the following week,I wouldnt trust them to then take advantage

This performance sums up how complacent and arrogant Leicester have been since Christmas ...if course they will look world beaters again in Monday
