[quote user="Boyo"]I would like to get there but the teams above us are also going for the play offs so they will be raring to go for every match and I dont think we will get there this season.   And it amazes me that we are now talking about play offs when a couple of months ago we were talking about relegation. [/quote]Apologies for my second post in a matter of minutes picking you up for your logic Boyo, but surely the teams above us were going for the playoffs in 2002 as well?

[quote user="Boyo"]We probably wont get the backing he is saying he will give but last year Grant got a little bit of money to spend apart from all the players he got were rubbish (apart from Russel.)  And this season if he does give the backing im sure Roeder will spend it well.[/quote]So Marshall, Otsemobor, Cureton, Chadwick and Fotheringham are rubbish are they? Grant may have been guilty of several things, but let''s not get carried away eh?

Last week we were seven points off the playoffs, this week it''s four. Doesn''t get much better than that!

"Yeah well Roeder is a YES MAN... so what???" SO WHAT?? Are you even more pig headed than you''ve previously appeared? This is a man who''s pulled out out of the sh*t, taken us on a 10 game unbeaten run (in the league, before you bring up Bury) and up to 16th. Surely anyone with any regard for the club, let along someone who claims to be a fan, whatsoever would agree that he''s done a fantastic job so far.   You''re not fit to wipe his shoes.

"we didn''t get Taylor" - that''s because he wasn''t for sale!

From the official site:"Just kept my powder dry," was Roeder''s response when asked why more wasn''t spent on transfer fees. "There was money there to spend. It was just trying to find the right player who takes us beyond this season. We tried to buy two, got knocked back on both of them and we''ll have to wait to the summer perhaps for those two lads. "No criticism of the board. There was money there to spend if I could have found the right players to spend it on. These lads here that have come on loan, the clubs want them back. They''re here for the experience and to become better players when we send them back. "Some of the fees that were being paid, especially for players at the end of the career; you sign them, pay an amount of money for them and they''re free transfers straight away. Others managers do what they have to do. I''ve always been very careful with other people''s money and make sure we get value for money when we do purchase. "I''m confident that what I didn''t spend now will be available in the summer, plus more." Nuff said!

One love indeed BBB. We all want the same thing.

[quote user="Grando"]I think the problem when we had Hartson was that he was played out of position. He should have been played in goal in a Rowland Browning-esque fill the goal tactic. Nothing would have got past him, unless away fans distracted him with kebabs etc.[/quote]Gotta love the eighties Grange Hill reference! Should be Row-land though.

[quote user="BlyBlyBabes"]Anybody who quotes Leeds as an example seriously needs to be ignored. Quite frankly it''s just intellectual dishonesty. OTBC   [/quote]Oooohhhh!!! Get her!What is intellectually dishonest about stating that if more money goes out than comes in, your debt increases? If you carry on spending more than you earn, you eventually go bust.

[quote user="Mr.Carrow"]For two and a half years now it`s been the same. There is always some excuse not spend decent money on the team and the funny thing is if we fast-forward 2,5 or 10 years some posters on here will still be trotting out the same old excuses no matter what position we are in. After years of failing with other teams cheap cast-offs we, having just raised another £800k on top of the £5.5m in the summer, are refusing to sign a player of proven quality to bolster an extremely weak squad still threatened with relegation for the sake of a few £100k. He is NOT out of contract in the summer so those using that excuse will have to shift to another one quick. It is the attitude which got the club into this mess in the first place and unless alot of people connected with this club get their collective heads out of the sand we are going nowhere fast. [/quote]"There is always some excuse not spend decent money on the team" - how about Leeds as an excuse? We could put ourselves massively in debt with the hope of promotion but I''d rather have a financally stable team who will still be stable over the next 2.5 or 10 years, and who are undeniably making steady progress up the table. Glen has taken us from the bottom to 16th in the short time he''s been here. With some more purchases in the summer when transfer fees are more sensible we can definitely be pushng for a play-off place next season, without risking the club''s stability.

[quote user="ched seven"]smudger if you ever say that to doc in the street i hope he gives you the andy hughes treatment and offers to take your effing  head off  , it would be more popular then him scoring a hatrick against the scum :-)[/quote]Ched seven - classic!

If the money''s good I say take it. Fair dues to the guy but with Dublin going and Evans probably not here next season we need the cash more than a player on high wages who''s injured or on the bench a lot of the time.

[quote user="Norfolk&Chance"][quote user="we8wba"]Isn''t that 2 points? [/quote]Just because you can count, there''s no need to show off!

Cold hands?

Why would Tony Warner come to Norwich for a night out? I suppose he could have made friends in the team while he was here but my main memory of him was that comic miskick at Sheffield Wednesday at the last game of last season that put us three nil down! I''d want to keep well away after that!

[quote user="Yellow Rages"][quote user="Nuff Said"] [quote user="Ginger Pele"]He is often open for a pass, he makes room for himself, there for giving him time to look around for options while on the ball. He is a good pass of the ball, and normally is very accurate,[/quote] Have to agree. Was really struck at Barnsley yesterday how he would often hold the ball and have a look around before picking out a decent pass. I think the fact that Roeder has chosen chosen him as captain speaks volumes. [/quote] He is a confident player, something we didn''t have with Robinson/Etuhu/Safri/Jarrett etc. He has always been that way. The difference is he shows for the ball because he isn''t afraid to receive it, he passes the ball because he isn''t afraid of loosing it. Likewise with Russell and Patterson and Safri when in his early NCFC days. We have quite a few naturally confident players now who don''t need to be coaxed by the crowd or any of the other excuses we used to get. They now go out and are on the front foot rather than looking like Bamby on the M25 during rush hour. [/quote]There was a real contrast at Barnsley with Shackell who seemed to panic and pass the ball back to Marshall whether or not it was safe.

No wonder he''s left to go to Britain - it looks fecking freezing!

Can I just say....

Is giving them 45 minutes to score to prove themselves fair? Our "established" strikers didn''t do any better, it took the legendary Ginger Pele to save us.

I may be wrong, in which case you have my heartfelt apologies, but I got the impression that the point was to imply, once again, our lack of "ambition".

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="Nuff Said"][quote user="BlyBlyBabes"] From the BBC Sport website: QPR are interested in Sunderland''s Daryl Murphy, Blackburn''s Robbie Savage, Celtic''s Bobo Balde and Reading''s Leroy Lita. (Telegraph) OTBC   [/quote]And your point is...? [/quote] The point should be obvious to all. [/quote]What? That QPR have three investors something like £70 million, £2.4 BILLION and £50BILLION so have the money to look at more expensive players than we can afford?
