Only one thing to say. We’re too soft. We are soft at the back soft in the midfield.

I’d be tempted to take Barnes out!

If ever there has been a player robbing a living at this level it Sorensen!

3 points out of 12 is poor form.

Our problems are as simple as that. Far to many time we give away possession to cheaply. Forson is so lightweight in the tackle it’s painful. Kenny is little better. Its all over the pitch to be fair but through the middle we do it far too often.

Totally agree with this.

Fair enough but what if we can’t get a replacement of the right standard before the window closes? Surely we have to think of what’s best for the club not just the player!

The big question is what is the American lots real objective. Are we just a play thing which is nice to own but easily forgotten or is there any real ambition. We don’t ever hear of the ambition from them or anyone else for that matter any more. season goal for the team? Has that been outlined but the club. Short/Medium/long term plans have the Americans outline that? Or as I fear are we expected to survive on scraps and the hope is we fluke a promotion before they ever look remotely interested in get themselves fully committed. Don’t understand where we are going under them. If Sargent is sold in this window or the next I have to say it’s looks strongly like we are debt free but at the cost of quality on the pitch. one thing is for sure. Self funding football clubs at this level don’t work and eventually if further investment in decent players at the right level doesn’t come we will be an American owned 1st Division club. You can’t rely on finding cheap young diamonds for ever and even if you did do that at the same level as we have been it still leads to debt and a decline in the ability to compete. As we are well aware of!

At Norwich the toxicity is very often more between fans the anything. Between the ones willing to accept anything as long as we exist and the ones who want change and progress.

That’s not really the case is it. In the premier league he was very poor. That’s because he was too young and not of the right standard. Yet the powers that be. The ones who we all pay our “most expensive season ticket money in the league to” thought he would do the job. He didn’t. now down at a level which is far below the premier league (make no mistake on that) he is a good striker and by far the best we have. Also far better than we’d be prepared to pay for in the form of a replacement!

I totally agree with most of this but am I confident we won’t sell him! I don’t think it will happen unless big money comes calling and I’m not sure if anyone would take that risk on him as I’m not sure myself he’s a premiership level player. But if someone did use a chunk of their fee they got for an out going player say £30m. Would we be able to resist and would we be able to get the player to accept our resistance if we did. Going on how the tail seems to be able to wag the dog a out club these days

The other thing is. If owners have any ambition at all then you can’t sell a player deemed not good enough in the form of Idah for £9m say and then expect to bring in better for £5m. You have to pay the going rate for what’s available. a rate that is set but what someone else is will to pay in many cases.

I think if we sell Sarge now it would be a damming reflection on the new owners ambitions and understanding of the game and the fans. From both the fans and the clubs side we can’t just keep saying we’re in a rebuilding period when someone like Sargent is already where we need a player to be and as our only recognised first team striker needs to stay and fight for the cause.

Is this not just another case of the tail trying to wag the dog! Kamara has done Jack for this club so far. The club who has given him his chance the club who has nurtured him to this point since he was 10 years old. We send him on loan to get experience and game time and when he returns he’s now billy big bołłocks who want first team at Championship level without wait for his opportunity. Rowe gives us 3/4 of a season hand he’s now refusing to play. Norwich need to put their foot down hard with Kamara or we’ll get this crap every time a player thinks he should be playing or every time they think an offer is on the table for them that they want us to accept.

Think I’ll wait until next Saturday’s game before I get too excited. Yes we did have some nice moments of flowing attacking football. However we are still to easily cut open at times. Against Sheffield in fear a far more physical battle and one where we will be exposed through the middle. Don’t seen the midfield of McLean, Nunez and Forson being robust enough in these sort of encounters. BTW as much as I like Forson’s showing at Oxford I thought he was ok first half against Blackburn but went totally missing second half.
