Palace have started the season poorly like ourselves. If we can''t beat them at home were in trouble this season!

Let''s start again with a new manager!!!

 Best is getting in Marshall and Semmy. Worst is his lack of buying a centreback after how bad our defence was last season, and spending 1 million on big dave. Our most expensive signing of the summer, and looks nothing special. Should of bid a bit more and got Eastwood!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born and bred in norwich, and as soon as i took an interest in footie when i was a nipper it had to be norwich. As to why you see kids here in norfolk wearing man u, chelsea, arsenal and liverpool shirts well thats easy. All kids like teams at the top of the league, and cup winners etc. If they support anyone else they get teased and called losers, and  some kids  can''t take being teased. So you get alot of kids supporting which ever team is doing well. Thats my opinion anyway.

I beleive Dion would make a great manager. When he is playing or when he is sub, he is the one player shouting instructions to the other players. I have a lot of respect for dion, as do many of our supporters and supporters of away teams. I hope when he hangs up his boots he will stay with us, as a coach or manager.  They have taken a chance on Grant and so far it has not worked, so they will probably go for a manger with a bit more experience next time. But me personally would love to see Dion in charge.

Could turn out to be one of the most exspensive flops in our history. Why buy a forward who is gonna take ages to settle? Should of gone for an english forward or dare i say it scottish! Does anyone think Grant has regrets about buying him? I am sure managers do sometimes regret buying players after they have been at the club for a few weeks. Its a bit like buying something from a shop. You get it home and then decide you don''t like it or it aint no good and you wish you could return it for a full refund!

All i can say is everyone is entitled to their opinion. Whether you agree with them or not its no reason to slag them off. Anyone who posts their opinion on here is just showing that they care about our club. It is a bit early for "Grant out" .  You have to let him work on the team to get the best out of the players, and what works best on the field. This is his team that he has built and you have to give him more time to get them playing well.

[quote user="broadie"][quote user="Phatcanary9"]Quick question, the lack of new players coming through the door yesterday, what does everyone think is it lack of ambition or just that no one wants to join a mid table championship club?[/quote] Yes, signing 9 new players is a thorough lack of ambition. [/quote] Yes but 10 players have left! And are the new players better than the ones that have left?

Very good manager ian holloway. He has got a few players i would like here but no one it seems wants to come here. Really do think we are getting further and further away from a return to the prem.

With Arsenal now being taken over by a Russian billionaire, just like chelsea, it just makes you wonder which club will be next.  Every few weeks you hear about a new club being taken over by a billionaire buinessman. When is our turn going to come?  Anyone know any russian billionaires? LOL.

Didn''t we just give him a new 4 year contract?

I wonder how much they will sell him for? More than the 3.5 million they paid us for him and did we have any sell on clauses on him?

Since Martin left to go to watford we have not replaced him with anyone and not heard of any replacement coaches coming in. Maybe no-one has applied for the job. My suggestion make Dion dublin player coach and maybe one day take over the managers job!

[quote user="FilletTheFishWife ."] why not put the names from squads of East Stirling, Montrose, Elgin, Arbroath, Cowdenbeath in a hat and pull one out. I''m sure that''s what Grant does.   [/quote] Lol! It does seem strange that all PG gets is freebies from scotland!

It seems that despite all the players leaving for transfer fee''s we have spent all the money made available for replacements. PG said only a week ago that we were a few bodies short and since then we have only got Ian Murry on a free signing. Today we see PG saying he might have to delve into the loan market beacuse of our injury list. This sounds like to me we have no money left to spend despite all the profit made on transfers.

[quote user="Rudolph Hucker"] I admire the guts and commitment of young Chris Brown. I have seen him back defending and put his foot in. He doen''t look the type to score regular goals though and I have been wondering if he might just be one of those centre forwards who comfortably converts to a centre half. This could be his future if he is to play consistently at the top level and I wonder if Grant has considered it? [/quote] Your brave suggesting this aren''t you? I suggested playing semmy in a more attacking role, right wing instead of croft and i got so much stick lol!  I can see were you are coming from though.

[quote user="Beechy"]Why don''t we play Cureton CB as well. We need a CB to replace Doherty and Cureton has been playing so we should try him there. [/quote] Now you are being damn right stupid!

Its funny how people on hear shoot you down for making a suggestion for moving a player in a more attacking role. If any one saw spurs at the weekend and gareth bale on the left wing. He was superb with his pace and in many papers was voted best player. Where did he play at southampton. Left back!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote user="Web Team - Pete"] Against Barnet: The ball fell to Croft lurking on the right and he in turn put in a low cross that Sagi Burton failed to clear, the ball hitting Brown’s heels and falling kindly to Cureton to poach a second. And Southampton: Croft collected the ball on the right from Otsemobor and Croft left footed towards the penalty spot where Cureton controlled it on his chest then swivelled to hit a stunning right foot volley which Davis could only help into the net with one hand. [/quote] I would hardly call that an assist against southampton, it was all cureton''s skill and great finish!

[quote user="JC"] I suppose this is why you are not a football manager.  Player has a couple of good games so lets move him out of his natural position - brialliant, problem solved..... [quote user="topoftheleague"]Why don''t we try Otsemobor on the right wing. For me he has been our best player, and i would really like to see what he could do on the right wing instead of croft who doesn''t seem to be doing anything constructive. He has to be our quickest player by far and you never know could be the missing spark we are crying out for. Not sure who our cover for right back would be, anyone else know?[/quote] [/quote] Its called " Having an opinion" and like i said i would like to see what he could do on the right wing because i don''t rate croft!

[quote user="Crazy Eddie"][quote user="topoftheleague"] [quote user="canaries_07"]You say hes been our best player, then why on earth move him when we have at last found a competent right back since edworthy. Besides just because he has pace it does not instantly make him a good winger, it helps but im sure if the other parts of his game where suited to playing there PG would have him playing there.[/quote] Just because he has been our best player doesn''t mean you can''t move him does it? I just think he would get more of the ball if he played further up the pitch, we would be alot more dangerous going forward, he has tremendous pace and i think its wasted playing right back.If you had bothered to of gone and watched us this season you might of noticed the lack of pace up front!  For example Bale was playing left back for southampton and now he is playing for spurs and plays on the left wing. Croft is doing absolutely nothing attack wise so whats the harm and lets here your brilliant suggestion? [/quote] Er, doesn''t Croft have a couple of assists to his name already this season? [/quote] Really! ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm which were they then,  and i can''t recall him taking on any defender and beating him.

Tisza is a fantastic player from the video''s on youtube. We do need someone to get us going because so far we look very very average. Hopefully things will improve when hucks is back, but then again we should not be a one man team and have to rely on hucks all the time. We need a good creative midfielder because we don''t have one, and croft needs a good kick up the behind, and if he doesn''t shape up get rid of him! But i do agree tibor would be a very exciting player!

Why don''t we try Otsemobor on the right wing. For me he has been our best player, and i would really like to see what he could do on the right wing instead of croft who doesn''t seem to be doing anything constructive. He has to be our quickest player by far and you never know could be the missing spark we are crying out for. Not sure who our cover for right back would be, anyone else know?

After 3 games certain players are not performing very well and its time for peter grant to admit this and start getting tough. Lappin might be only playing because of hucks injury but he is just not good enough on the left wing. He is not attack minded and i would only use him as cover for drury. Croft seems to of lost his way. Does not create any scoring chances, barely scores himself, barely runs and beats any player. Why don''t we try semmy on the right wing, he has the pace to beat just about anyone and has to be better than croft. Brellier is playing like he is not fit, so why are we playing him. Has done very little so far. If these players are not going to perform, well bring  some of the youngsters in like eagle, spillane, bally smart etc. And why is chadwick not playing?  The only players doing ok so far are Semmy, Marshall, Russell and Cureton when he gets the service!
