I totally agree - see my note ''negative Worthy again''. The guy is obsessed with just aiming for a point in all away matches irrespective of opposition. City do start some away matches really going for it e.g. Reading and Watford last season and that amazing 5-1 win at Sheff. Wed. the season before, but these are exceptions. The standard away form is ...''and they still have yet to trouble the opposition keeper'' - Roy Waller on Radio Norfolk! I''m still furious at the dropping of Crouch, it was totally unjustified. If he had turned up ill overnight or carried a knock then fair enough but to trot out the 35 year old Roberts arguing that it was ...''squad rotataion'' is plain stupidity. If he wants competition for Crouch then bring back Ryan Jarvis (remember him), he''s the future for City, not Roberts (great servant that he''s been). We cannot rely on 100% home form, we will start to drop points at Carrow Road soon and have nothing to fall back on in terms of away points (like last season when we had that appalling away run from late October). Last season Worthy lived off the back of Cardiff, this season he has set out his stall with 3 very good loan signings. If he fouls up by ridculous team selections and negative tactics away from home he deserves to be hounded out. Expectations have been raised and he needs to do everything possible to realise them.

After all the hype of the ''great point'' at West Ham, Worthy puts us all in our place with his mots staggering team selcetion of his reign as manager. Forget taking off McVeigh at Cardiff, is there a single City fan who would have left out Peter Crouch for todays game? It was to ''rotate the squad'' apparently! If that''s the case why are none of the back four ever changed? Why does Gary Holt play, match in, match out, month after month after month and never ever look like scoring!! Worthy publicly praised Crouch on Thursday and then leaves him out. Why? To adopt a negative approach to the game. His sole intention in every away game is to get a point. If he had his way we would draw all away matches 0-0 and he would think it was fantastic! I wrote to the Pink Un last season on this same topic. The away form for last season as a whole was rubbish, this season is looking no better. Forget hard earned draws at Wigan and West Ham. Whilst they were good results, it''s the droped points at Bradford and Stoke that tell the real story. We will struggle to stay in the top 6 unless there is a fundamental chnage in the manager''s approach to away games. End of story.
