Nor are you... it was a word play using numbers.  It wasn''t meant to be serious - just light hearted addition to a dire situation. 

Scores for the players:Ruddy    7Whitaker 4 kin awfulMartin 2 small for centre backTurner 6BJ     0  Did nothingSurman 4 F*ucks sakeWes 5 (the number of accurate passes he made)E Bennett 5 (3 more than the crosses he put in)Grabban   3 (won''t be grabban any headlines with that performance)Redmond 5 (I''m bored)

[quote user="The Judge"]And who does the bloke who scored get above - our make weight centre back who isn''t good enough at right back so we stick him in the middle where he still isn''t good enough[/quote]^^ This.  Martin would only work in the centre as a sweeper behind the two centre-backs.  Just physically not big enoough!

Nothing less than they deserved.  We have been outplayed and going down to ten was just too much for us.

[quote user="Adnams Out"]Not impressed with Grabban. Typical kick and rush game despite Adams'' promises to play the Norwich way.[/quote]I think we are witnessing the Norwich way! This is as boring as it has been for the last two seasons!

Yep, being outplayed, particularly in midfield and defence looks shaky (nothing new). Things need to change.  Come on Neyul - you are the one that said ''good management is about recognising when things are going wrong and make change t imprve things''.  Now you just need to live up to it.

[quote user="Indy"]Weakest midfield and laboured rightback.....why have we gone with Benno, Wes & Surman? Too lightweight. Should have left Surman on the bench and started with Laff up top and Redmond on the left. Hope things improve we look devoid of attacking ideas again.[/quote]^^ This.  People say Surman is good at this level but IMO he''s only an average player, at best.

[quote user="Fraz"]This is the same woeful away play we were playing under Chris hughton.[/quote]Yep and it will take more than two weeks to remove that negative attitude although we shouldn''t forget we are playing against a good Manure side who retain and move the ball so quickly. We can learn a lot from their movement in the final third.

Surprise Surprise! Manure get a penalty.  Mind you we are not helping ourselves.  I have noticed on so many occassions that we have got the ball in the middle of the park with plenty of room to move forward, but we are not even looking to exploit the space, we are just looking to pass backwards.

[quote user="mrs miggins"]It didn''t look like they were playing for him in the first half D.Mark[/quote]So you think we can wash the stain left by Hughton over the last two seasons, in just two weeks.  Now that would we be impressive.  What is clear is that we are heading in the right direction, simply by performing for one half of the game.  There were so many games under Hughton that the players didn''t turn up at all.

[quote user="Jonzey"]But Hughtons Norwich teams did often turn it on for big home games. Some of his best results came in them. Wrong time to sack him, and when we lose the next three and finish bottom it will confirm it.[/quote] .... and after the dross we have endured for the past two seasons... we STILL have deluded people in our midst! 

For me, it''s too early to decide.  It''s great to see the positivity among the players and the significant change in attitude, which we have seen over the last two games.  I know we have lost but the performance has been so much better.  That may be due to the new managr syndrome and luckily we have time to make a decision on Adms future, once the season is over.  Certainly impressed so far.

[quote user="Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . ."]I am of course referring to the NCFC board. Tin pot owners = tin pot club.[/quote]I thought you were referring to the happy clappers, who supported the board''s decision to stick with CH.

This is a conspiracy against RVW. Another geat effort that deserved a goal.  What with Martin''s miss earlier, we should be winning this. COYY!

C''mon we can do this!  This is so much more fun to watch than the dross we had under CH.

Yes Seattle, as you say:you can please some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the time. But never can you please all of the people all of the time.

[quote user="SeattleCanary"]Bad pass by BJ, awful in fact. But Fer is a lazy sack of sh*t. I cannot wait to see the back of him.[/quote] Can''t help feeling this is a tad unfair.  Sterling would rip threw most players with his pace and possibly the quickest in this league.  The bad play happened way earlier by Johnson and others because we turned attack into defence ... again.

You are freckin kidding me. Cr@p play in the middle of the park.  The ball should have been put in the box and we concede.

[quote user="Cantiaci Canary"]Does anyone think we will score again this season? Hughton has drained all the confidence and spark out of Hooper and RVW. Watch them smack in the goals next season for their new clubs.[/quote]Keep these comments coming.  This and the Hooper one on the other thread... priceless!

[quote user="Jimmy Smith"]This is possibly the worst performance I have seen from any player ever in the premiership. Ar least ali dia hit the post in his brief cameo![/quote] ... and thats fate!

So what can we do? I would follow Iron Stan''s idea and bring Murphy on for Howson and play: Johnson and Fer in the holding role, with Murphy on the left, Redmond on the right (swapping around regularly) and Snodgrass through the middle behind Hooper.

Apart from the scoreline, this an entertaining game.  Fast pace game with plenty of bite from both sides..
