    [quote user="Lord Horn"]I was bought up in an era when it would have been unthinkable for City not to kick towards the Barclay in the second half (given the choice).  Do you think we can persuade our new Messiah ''The Lord Lambert'' to return to these traditional values? Or, do you not give a toss?[/quote]Whilst I have no memory of that being the case I totally agree that it should be so

    [quote user="nr1"]Mate if you been there since the 70/80s you would realise that was when the proper fans were about now its far to corperate time to go back to the 80s where i enjoyed a good day out at carrow road.[/quote]Life changes mate, I was there through all of that period, enjoyed it immensly and had my fair share of rucks,  I also remember being beaten up by spurs fans as a kid and the thing is I take my own kids now and I don''t want that for them. Have a good scrap outside the ground with my blessing but leave the atmosphere inside the ground as it is.

    [quote user="NottsCanary"]Ha, yeah, changed the seats now, just had a look at few pictures on the internet and changed the seat, now near front of upper barclay, as my sister probably wont appreciate the lack of a view from behind the goals.[/quote]great view there,I''ve had my season ticket up there for about fifteen years after making the mistake of sitting with dead people in the river end for a year

    These are very old retired police horses, the club provides water and a little bit of hay and the retired police horse welfare society exercise them outside the ground on match day as a gesture of good will. As for the hot dogs, well eventually they are past exercising

    [quote user="Mister Chops"]Lots of talk about Doc, Askou, Nelson, Spillane, but what would people''s best Back 4 be, based on the squad we have available - and assuming we play 4 at the back?Personally, I''d go for: Spillane        Doc     Askou      Drury

    Tough on Lappin but I''d rather put him at left wing.

    [/quote]Hows about.....

    Spillane      Askou     Drury     Wiggins

    [/quote] Mmm how odd

    I find it odd that everyone thought Jamie played well, even Lambo...........and yet you...............

    [/quote]Wiz...you cant keep defending him m8...his job is to score goals and it isnt just happening for him for what ever reason, we cannot afford to carry any player

    he is 33 and on the way down im affraid...and by the looks of it dropping like a stone

    [/quote]

    He drags defenders out of postion mate, and creates space for other players to exploit, Lambo sees this.........its a pity some fans can''t!

    They call me a flip flop, but on Curo and Lambo I won''t change.

    We all have our own opinions on Cureton.  I''ve been really surprised to see him even in the squad and would have preferred Cody.  Having said that, all I can say is that based on today''s game, Wizard, I''ve got to agree with you.  It''s not just about scoring goals it''s about the overall shape and effectiveness of the whole team.  Today Cureton was a good "foil" for Holt, and he does pull defenders around using his experience and nouse.

    [/quote]I''d just love to see him get a couple of goals to see if that would really give his game a lift, this is the first time whilst playing for us that he''s had that big target man beside him that his game requires.There''s no doubt in my mind that if we get the ball to him in the right positions he could still score a lot of goals

    And the worst ever away defeat for Norwich was in 1908 when you were beaten 10-2 by Swindon Town, both then members of the Southern League of blessed memory.  God knows who got the blame for that one. [:P]

    Colchester''s worst ever defeat was almost as crazy a game as our 7-1 victory.  Not that many years ago: away to Orient we hit the post or bar six times in the first 20 minutes - they got three breakaways before half time.  We hit the post twice more at the start of the second half and then conceded three goals in eight minutes, eventually losing 8-0.

    [/quote]Yeah but to compare Colchester with Norwich is just .......................................... Oh yeah we''re in the same division now

    [quote user="Shack Attack"]I''ve been meaning to comment on this for a couple of weeks now but I''ve

    only just got round to typing it all out. There seems to be an

    abundance of posts which are basically variations on the theme of the

    title of this thread. Whether it''s the need to field a certain player,

    or to drop another, the need for good delivery from set pieces or to

    play 4-4-2. All of them can be explained by the ''fact'' that "you have

    to/can''t do this at League One level".

    The reason I''ve started this thread is to see if I can get to the

    bottom of this phenomenon and see whether anybody can actually produce

    any statistics that back up these comments. As far as I can make out

    from what I''ve seem so far there is not a huge difference between

    League One and The Championship. It''s reasonably physical, played at

    the high tempo which is typical of British football and the ball spends

    an awful lot of time in the air. Aside from that the rules are the

    same, the goals are the same size and what you really need to be successful is to have better players in a better organised system than

    the opposition. Where is the difference between that and any other

    level of football? What am I missing?

    A lot of the comments seem to centre on the style of football that is

    required ''at this level'' (yet another comment that seems to suggest

    we''re playing teams from a completely different planet). The general

    consensus seems to be that any form of pretty football is out and what

    we really need is big, physical players who are capable of kicking

    lumps out of the opposition. Yet from what I''ve seen so far this is

    simply not the case. We lost against Colchester because our defence was

    terribly organised and kept making ghastly individual errors (a fair

    few of which were from that archetypal League One centre half Nelson)

    not because we were out muscled. Colchester mixed it up quite nicely by

    keeping it on the floor on occasions and being more direct on others.

    We beat Wycombe because we pressed them high up the pitch and made good

    use of the ball when the inevitable happened and the coughed the ball

    up. We scored a couple of goals from set pieces (which are vitally

    important ''at League One level'' so I''m told) but we won the game

    because we were better organised than them and kept the ball better

    than them.

    One of the other points I keep seeing is that we have to play 4-4-2 ''at

    this level''. I shouldn''t be surprised by this as it is not just

    confined to supporters of League One clubs and it seems to stem from

    the feeling that it is an attacking formation. This is of course

    nonsense as formations are neutral and it is the players that are

    placed in it which determine whether it is attacking or defensive. As

    an example Manchester United and Barcelona both play with one up front

    on occasions as do Spain and nobody would accuse these teams of being

    defensive. Similarly one of our best performances of last season came

    in the home game against Ipswich where we played one up front and tore

    them a new one. I don''t see why this should be any different in League

    One.

    In conclusion my view is that we need a team which is capable of mixing

    up the way it plays and which takes to the field in a formation which

    suits it best. But that''s what you need at any level of football so

    let''s stop making out that League One is a special case.[/quote]I think you can do anything in league one if you are able to attract the players capable of what you''re trying to produce, this however is not easy so the style of play is dictated by the low standard of players available

    [quote user="Nexus_Canary"]OTJ could be loaned out for a season or so ? How old is he, he looks quite young.Gill & Nelson are my picks for dudsGot a funny feeling we will all be thinking very differently of Mr Theohighgfghfjgfhgjfhgjfghfjkgfhgjfghfhgfhgfhgtis in a few months.
