Thanks anyway, I hope someone know the answer because when I search this name on yahoo, it was an old lady!!! ;-)

Oh, still nobody knows? Thanks for your help!!! [/:)]

[quote user="BedsCanary"]Surely Grant himself could still do a job in midfield? [/quote] That''s exactly what I think about, think he and Etuhu can do a job...[/:)]

[quote user="The Canary"]why the sudden obsession with the acedemy and the "kids"?[/quote] I always back the kids although I did not see him training before, but like myself, a player-coach of my 7-a-sider footy team, I will always give the chance for the kids to start the game, not use them for sub or put him on the bench. They are poor and not very commited sometimes but you still need to give them chance to play, because if they did not play, or show what they can do, you will never know what mistakes they had made.

[quote user="bigbear"] I don''t know the severity of many of the injuries we have, but I would rather see the young boys playing tonight giving the more senior players the chance to get some fitness back before the big one on Sunday.  Our pride for the season now rests on that 1 game.  For, if we lose (god forbid), then I cant see us having any chance of finishing above them, which is the only thing now worth shouting for after this poor season. Can anyone shed any light on why Lappin has been out?  I heard it was for a broken thumb.  Is his thumb attached to his leg to stop him kicking the ball or attached to his forehead to stop him headering it?  If not, then why the hell isn''t he classed as fit? [/quote] Lappin had op on his finger so it''s no good to risk him...

[quote user="USAcanary"] Is it just me????? But with 56 points and zero chance of being relegated I am quite happy to see some of these younger lads thrown in at the deep end. Ideally you dont want them playing out of position but they wont mind as long as they are playing im sure. Lets encourage these young players and understand they WILL make mistakes. It would seem silly to wait until next season when there is more pressure. I see these last few games as an oppotunity for the younger players to show what they can do.   [/quote] I am with you mate, but of course PG may concern Norwich fans pay first team ticket for this Burnley game, the fans did not pay "reserves game" price for this game, so there should be more first teamers in the team! But on the other way, I don''t think any Norwich fans did not want to see more academy players play for the first team! You also got a very important poinr, they might not be very good, also they will make mistakes, but so did our first teamers, ALWAYS MAKE MISTAKES!!!!

I am always the people who fully support the kids from the academy, to play for the first team, because the kids must be with the club, at least more than 1 year, or liked Chris Martin a local lads, he must be with the club for more than 4 to 5 years, many of them were Norwich City supporters, or even Kris Renton from Scotland, he come to Norwich and want to play football with the highest level, the desire is hugher. Just to think about yourself, if you have chance to play for your favourite team, first of all your passion and heart must be over than anyone! Maybe, maybe the skill or pace are not better than season pro, but you know enthusiasm or other non-phyiscal factors, can definitely increase and improve your performance. The new signings, well, no disrespect to them, they may only play for their contract, play for their future, so when you talk about local pride or passions to the fans? It all depends on where they born; I am not saying all of the new signings did not have passion, Hucks was the different case of course, but for the kids, I did not see anyone is less than the pro. So, why Nigel Worthington always ignore our kids? Can anyone explain?

[quote user="savenell"]                         warner cave brown   dublin  spillane   hughes croft              etuhu             eagle                     huckerby martin                                renton [/quote] lovely, that''s the team I want to see tomorrow!!! Come one the academy!!!

[quote user="Kolin Kob"] what about halliday? where does he play? otherwise, i don''t know... joe lewis at left back anyone? [/quote] halliday was playing the reserves tonight that means he did notget a chance

Yes he is going to start also a risk too, he just come back, give Renton a chance up front with Martin!!! (OH the youngest frontline we have for several years!!!)

[quote user="jas the barclay king"] someone at the gym was whinging about Jurgen colin being out saying his "family reasons" are made up and he''s a waste of space etc.,..  Jurgen colin has a severely disabled son who needs special care.. i made a point of telling this chap... i think it went in one ear and out the other though.. pleb! jas :) [/quote] He was Grant''s first choice right-back for many games after he take charge, but why he was dropped so quickly? Maybe he had bust-up with the manager on training....

[quote user="jas the barclay king"] they just signed the goal Machine that is Danny dichio... he wont be the answer ot all their problems either... Despite the razzamatazz the MLS is a pretty poor standard (league 1 at best) i think it proves a point about Robinson.... He''ll be in the LOW before long. jas :) [/quote] I saw the highlights and saw Robbo acts as a DM as usual, and see the opposition midfield can do anything they want to do! Maybe the standard of MLS is nearly League 1, but their players maybe a bit more skillful   

[quote user="Bigmarkcanary"]Anyway, I know I''m a bit late again, but six days and counting[:)][/quote] Yes, I am definitely looking forward too because it will be first time in many years, both teams will have half of the young kids in the team! I think they understand what is local pride!!!

[quote user="lappinitup"] For most of this season Etuhu has been on everyones hate list. Recent perfomances have quietened most of the critics. Where are you now? SHOULD WE STILL SELL HIM OR KEEP HIM?      [/quote]   Surely we should keep Dickson -- if he want to stay!!!

[quote user="silver fox"][quote user="August 64"] Spillane, Eagle, Martin, Renton.  Cave-Bown on the bench.  We win away.  PG backs youth, takes chances, and motivates. I''m backing Grant to be a City legend.     [/quote]Don''t get me wrong because I am pleased to see the youngsters, which would have never happened in Worthy''s time, but the bottom line is there were simply no other players available.  Thorne, Chadwick, Doherty, Safri, Lappin, Fotheringham all injured, Jarvis brothers, McVeigh and Henderson out on loan.[/quote] Yes you are correct, we have no choice but to play the kids, but I think if he want a bigger squad, he should never let Jarvis brothers, McVeigh and Henderson go out on loan, that means he did not have confidence to them and decide quite early he want to give the kids a chance

Granty know if he ship out Hucks, then he will lose the job on the next day!!! ;-)

[quote user="Gloucester canary"] Looks as though these guys will be in the championship next year unless they move on. Green - Cant see him leaving..or anyone buying him for that matter! Francis - must be resigned to being a good championship player now. Again cant see anyone coming in for him and he is in London again so might be more reluctant to move. Ashton - Probably move on, could be alot interested but depends on fitness. Poor old West Ham he has had less time on the pitch for them than he did for us. Shame! That will learn them!Ha! [/quote] Deano will definitely move on, so did Damo because he did not like Championship football, but Green, can''t see any club want to buy a goalkeeper who help tp his clubs relegated twice in 3 years!!!

[quote user="Stevie-Devine"]Give the boy till the end of next season, y put down a 16 year old playing for your club, he must have something gd if he is reaching the bench, just remember he wos only picked up this year.[/quote] We have nothiong to lose from now until the end of the season, a very good chance to test the kids, and maybe prepare for next season

[quote user="hurricane"] Worthy and shacks have not always seen eye to eye, he dropped him for a while after an outburst in a post match video watching session, where shacks didnt take too kindly to being scapegoat for a team poor performance. [/quote] I think it should be the Watford game when we lost 1-2 away from home, when Davenport made his club debut

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="XXL16"] According to the team news tomorrow... Doherty out Safri out Lappin out Fotheringham out Brown out Shackell doubtful Drury doubtful Jurgen Colin out "for family reasons", totally 8 players out! So Andy Hughes would be left-back? No because if Shackell not playing, who play center-half and right-back? Hughes can play 2 positions together? Or Peter Grant re-register as a player again? -- team tomorrow: Warner Cave-Brown  Dublin  Hughes ?? Croft  Spillane  Etuhu  Eagle Martin  Huckerby sub: Renton, Earnshaw, Gallacher, ?? I cannot make up the number be honest!!! [/quote] If all those players are really out then it would have to be:- Warner - Cave-Brown Spillane Dublin Hughes - Croft Etuhu Martin Eagle - Huckerby Earnshaw. I''m going so I could sit on the bench!!!!   [/quote] Yeah me too, I am going to be on the bench! Let''s hope Cave-Brown can play, I really hope!

[quote user="taintedtom2000"] I''ve got a gut feeling that if Worthy gets the full time job at Leicster he will bid for Shackell, he brought him through to the first team and stuck by him and with Mandaric''s money who knows what he''ll be be able to offer. I''d be gutted if he did go. Also with Hucks being from the East Midlands what are the odds on a bid for him?! we all know they were full of mutual respect!! anyone else think of any movers between the two clubs? I''d quite like us to go for Fryatt or Kisnorbo OTBC [/quote] Don''t think Nigel like Shacks, won''t be a concern mate

[quote user="CambridgeCanary"][quote user="XXL16"] [quote user="3canaries"]Probably been asked a 1000 times, but does anyone know?  I haven''t seen any press so I''m presuming not.[/quote] Not really sure in England but it will be LIVE in HK I think. 7pm.      [/quote] We''ll all come round yours then David [/quote] OH! You are welcome mate! :)

[quote user="Creasy"]Not a good start but always thought Brennan was a decent player, sure they will pick up the points soon. I follow the MLS and no suprise to see Taylor Twellman get two goals, such a quality striker.[/quote] Taylor Twellman, a good striker liked Earnie, think he learned much under Steve Nicol  

[quote user="mbncfc"] I also saw someone somewhere question why Cave-Brown wasn''t used on Saturday. Well, I think the official site holds the answer. Colin is unavailable for tomorrow''s game due to ''family reasons''. If PG already had an inkling of this before the Leicester match, it would make sense not to risk a player who may be required in three days time. [/quote] Yes that''s me. After I see your post and I absolutely understand why Grant not to play Cave-Brown on Saturday. Leicester was in relegation dogfight but Burnley had nothing to play for, also Grant should know Colin had "family reason" a few days ago, so, yeah it''s a good move. Thanks mate! :)

http://toronto.fc.mlsnet.com/schedule/season.jsp?team=t280 two games, two lost, scored zero, concede six. Highlights show Robbo is as usual, standing on the pitch and do NOTHING.
