  1. Not sure about Marillion but Nazareth were the bullocks.
  2. Denis Law an absolute legend of a footballer, but an even better human. Humorous and Humble. Littie advantages of the passing of time and aging is the memories of watching the United triumvirate strutting their stuff in the 60's and 70's.
  3. Defeats nailed on, given the team we might put out. However a performance in both would be progress. And some of the naysayers to be shut up, doubt it will.
  4. Todays attendance nothing to do with season ticket holders. I tried to buy ticket soon after they went on sale very few available. Didn't realise seats for season tickets were unavailable until holders could retain their seats. After expiry of date of season tickets booking, went on line to purchase all parts of ground were green notifiying plenty of availability. Less than 50% of seats taken up by season ticket holders fpr this match. If more seats were available and tickets were £15 I would agree we need increased capacity.
  5. Jerrold ? was unsure where that was been South Stand for last two years. But agree with your comments in Block H the one with most seats available. The majority of the attendees have difficulty finding their seats and aimlessly to up and down the stairs looking bemused and forlorn. Also arrive late, leave seats at BY and generally annoy the others. Just be something needed cannot understand and they are certainly not learning.
  6. Experimental side to see if there is any promise there. Long Stacey Hills (if fit) lets see him at least Cordoba Chrissene McClean Schwartau ANO dont know any other midfielder with defensive capabilities Forson Sargent (one half) Dobbin Strong bench Expect defeat so would like to see new faces
  7. 3-0 to Sunderland started a relegation not sure of year possibly 2015, been too many to remember. Italian striker who celebrated goals with knife in mouth, Allerdyce manager. Hate O'Nien a nasty booger, hope he gets a reminder at Carrow. Won't get auto though.
  8. Posters need to be clear on left and right wingers. Sains left, Gordon right if any. Dobbien left, Karzai wherever.
  9. Be interested to see how they live with FFP when relegated.
  10. Norwich City are unbeaten in their past nine league meetings with Coventry City (W6 D3), a run that started in December 2010 under Paul Lambert. Coventry City have won just one of their past 17 away league games against Norwich City (D9 L7), winning 2-1 at Carrow Road in February 2009. Seemingly forgotten or just ignored Coventry at Carrow Rd at Xmas 2018 when Coventry won with late goal from Marriott. Goals from Godfrey and Pukki put Norwich 2-0 ahead with just a few minutes to be played.
  11. It was a shoulder charge not a foul. Ref got that one right.
  12. Yes it is an Archant publication printed in the Fine City. So you will not be surprised it to be an uninspiring read. Need to keep eye on obits for any recognised names.
  13. Surely would have been in referee report, and dealt with greater speed than is the case here.
  14. Doesn't sound English.
  15. Look how long it took to ban Cunha. Two matches only ridiculous.
  16. Should have read this before posting, but did look bereft of any ability. Still was qualified, more academy fodder on bench Saturday.
  17. We are short of English qualified players and struggle to make the mandated 8. Without putting academy lads or failed loaned who have little if any chance of getting on the pitch. And it we sell or get rid in January the likes of Gunn, Hanley and Barnes we shall be even shorter a reason they will still be here in February. Fisher and Stacey and Chrissene the only other English players anywhere near the first team. Having the bench boosted by the likes of Gordon, Myles and Hills is doing little to strengthen the bench. Doyle and Gordon will also be gone in the Summer 5 qualifiers to be found then to meet the quota. Thorup needs to crack this conundrum by looking for players of English with the profile he wants of youngsters to be groomed for later sale. He needs to find them perhaps from PL academies or find nuggets in the lower leagues. Norwegian keepers and exotic right wingers will give more options but not answer the qualification quandary. Knapper will be integral in solving the issue hope he has some solution. The bench needs to become stronger along with the squad users ever going to be top 26. Will take money (which we do not have) or a very clever management team. January a good time to start the process.
  18. You can't sell players who have no sell on value. Not against getting rid of those mentioned in OP, but most need to be replaced without the funds needed how will that happen. The defence needs serious surgery Duffy needs to be replaced but a 20 year wunderkind is not the answer. We need an experienced CB head to supplement the young heads suggest we need to explore the lower English leagues to find the vakue.
  19. Top 6 ambition is just a fantasy dream. Just enjoy the bumpy ride for the rest of the season.
  20. This year may be a transition season, which it is. Some of that transition appears to be reaping benefits, but definetely limited given recent results. However next season will definitely see a more demanding transition given we will be rafting out the aging stalwarts. The defence is our weakest link Duffy needs to be replaced and Doyle will not be here. I cannot see how we will improve the defence by sticking to the Thorup plan of pursuing the young and hungry plan. We got lucky with Cordoba, but will need a couple of similar CB's with the nous and experience to improve our back line. I don't think many 20 years old will be available to fit the bill on our resources. Hope there is a plan to rectify this dilemma.
  21. The block was on Slimnane who was the only one who recognised the danger. As he started to advance Burnley player stepped across to block him. Would expect defence to be awake ibstead of statues. Duffy needs to be replaced soesn't defend, gives ball away and not a leader. Who could replace him not sure we've got anyone.
