We needed Afobe but wasted £8 million on Naismith .

[quote user="mrs miggins"]Indeed, we have an even stronger team than last time in the championship as well as the fact that we''ll have Alex Neil for the whole season. If we keep the players like we did last time then we''ll go straight back up, no doubt about it.[/quote]Once everybody who is here just for Premiership football ships out , and then we get shot of all the players that need shipping out we will be left needing to build a whole new team , could be many years getting back , top of the Champs is very big money these days to rich for the likes of Delia .

Did we play well or did Chelsea just go into  comfort mode at 0-2 , Daily Mirror has a headline today Neil''s Canaries Now Looking Like Prize Turkeys . 1 point from 24 which after the next two games will more likely than not be 1 in 30 is horrendous which ever way you want to spin it . £20 million thrown down the drain in January because we dont look one iota better with the new signings , Naismith looks to have a chance of running Wolfswinkle close for biggest waste of £8.5 million ever .We are a top flight side without one striker on the books that even comes close to the required standard , thats not down to bad officials or plain bad luck , thats bad management . Our Board are out of their depth in the premier league and may well be in the championship too with the amounts of money being spent in that league this season . Our manager is also looking out of his depth but seems untouchable because he won a few games with the best squad in the division last season , anybody taking over from Adams would have looked something special .We are going down , it takes something a little special to keep City up in the top flight , we had it in Paul Lambert but Hughton , Adams and now Neil dont even come close .

[quote user="mrs miggins"]If we hadn''t conceded in the first 40 secs we would''ve drawn tonight against Chelsea. And if the lino (who I was right in line with) didn''t make the obvious mistake we would''ve won the game. As others have said, yes scoring is a problem ut conceding is a much bigger one.[/quote]Dont be silly , if Chelsea had not scored in 40 seconds they would have kept pressing untill they did , the fact they were 2-0 up allowed them to stroll the 2nd half letting us have a bit more possession . They could of upped it another 2 or 3 gears if they had to , they didnt . We will see Saturday how improved we are against a team desperate for a win , Swansea will see us as an easy three points and we very rarely disappoint .

Poor refereeing for the 2nd but dont let it cloud how poor Norwich are , they have not looked like scoring and that would be the case whoever the opposition were . Why stick with Neil ? he is not this great manager in the making he is woeful , we would have more chance of survival with Hughton back .

Time to change the manager , this one is not going to come close to keeping us up .

Yes 2nd bottom looks a very good bet now , what does make me laugh is the people with their heads in the sand who think if you stay positive it will affect results it makes no difference whatsoever , all you are doing is pulling the wool over your own eyes .

Neil is massively overrated a manager like Allardyce would have kept this squad up Neil wont even go close .

For £8 million i think he is a bit of a let down , looked decent on his debut done nothing since . Got to give Bamford some game time surely or what was the point pursuing him , he must feel more deflated than at Palace .

Not going to score goals if you start with Jerome , nowhere near the standard required and just does not score at this level , the first half header was as easy a chance as you could wish for .

Try living in the real world sonny and not some fantasy world . 4/6 to get relegated now and if you get beaten easily at Villa you are not going to many games . Wakey wakey .

They rest half the first team and still win by 3 or 4 , if they really go for it it could be a massacre .

[quote user="Jan Van Borsburg"]Newcastle, Sunderland, Watford We need 7 points at least from these three. Bournemouth have appalling home form. Do not overestimate their ability. Sunderland nicked a win against Man Utd but can they grind results out? I think not. Newcastle are gash and will be there or thereabouts until they sack Schteve. Swansea flatter to deceive and West Brom are not out of it yet either. If we carry on building momentum, we can stay up.[/quote]No we cannot , we wont pick up more than another point or two away and we have 3 winnable home games and we wont win all three of them .Sunderland have a good manager and the team pull off the great escape most seasons , their games look fair , they will be ok.Newcastle are not going down , home form is good and their games look easier than most.Swansea will struggle but they will beat us at home and we wont close the gap on them .Bournemouth will be fine .

Newcastle and Sunderland should be ok , Norwich look to have about 4 matches left they can get points in .We are going down and any side that rolled over for that Villa side probably deserve to .

If you cannot beat a tired injury ravaged side who are you going to beat , today was just another nail in the coffin there are not 3 teams that will finish below us . Now if we had a Sam Allardyce in charge we would have half a chance but we are hell bent on handicapping ourselves .

Big Sam will keep Sunderland up because he is a good manager , we will go down because Neil is not . Why are people so desperate to cling onto a failing manager ? hes a poor mans Gordon Strachan .

I bet Bamford is well pleased he let Neil talk him into coming here , cannot get any game time with the strikers we have must be very depressing .How long before he walks out like at Palace .

This Neil will get us back up when we go down is the biggest load of horse shit going . If you can manage you can do it in any league , we should have hung on to Lambert for dear life it will be a long time before we get another as good as him .

A draw would be a terrible result , got to take the 3 points from these winnable games theres not many of them left .

Must win match not one attempt on target , not good enough by a long way .

[quote user="city4eva"][quote user="Thecanaryfan"]Bamford must surely be our striker for West Ham. Surely?? Will be gutted if Cam starts tomorrow.[/quote]you mean that prolific premiership goalscorer that is Bamford?should he start? I dont think so [/quote]If the answer to lack of goals is Jerome then we may as well wave the white flag already , trouble is we have not got a half decent striker at the club .

[quote user="Baywing"]Oh the irony !! Cant believe we are even discussing this.... if the general consensus is that the manager is chopping and changing the team too often why would we want the board to do the same ? We seem to be changing managers more often than our underwear of late.... I say give the guy time (yes its frustrating at present) but if we are patient in 3 or 4 years time who knows what or where we could be ? You wanted the board to spend money in Jabuary and they have now we have given the manager the tools give him the time to get to work with them ![/quote]They have spent the money but imo the signings are poor , would much rather have signed Afobe and left it at that . Have we improved things at the back by spending on Klose and Pinto ? no not really . Jarvis another signing in the Dorrans and Mulumbu mould unwanted by a fellow premiership club . Why just sit and go down when a change and new ideas may keep us up .

Surely if its the Boards fault for not spending in the Summer we should now be seeing some improvement in form now they have splashed the cash ?. The fact we are getting worse week by week tends to point to the manager is not good enough or the players he has bought are not good enough (Pinto appears to be another waste of two million) . I think its a combination of both , Neil looks increasingly clueless but i dont see any real premiership class players in his squad . Bottom line is this league is just to good for Norwich and thats why promotion is usually followed by relegation apart from when you have that little bit of class like a Paul Lambert .

 Why anybody would want to stick with Neil if the opportunity was there to get either Moyes or Rodgers is quite staggering both have achieved more in management than Neil is ever likely too .People need to start seeing through the hype that has been built up around Neil by supporters who were championing Adams just over a year ago . Norwich all over , everybody achieves legend status far too easily .

Martin is not good enough and shot to pieces , should be left out until sold in the summer .
