That article on the EDP site really is lazy journalism     “Two men were arrested at the match and charged with pitch encroachment. They will appear at Norwich Magistrates Court this morning.”   What on a Sunday??? That is just completely made up!    

No court appearance, both cautioned. So they''ll have lost their season tickets, but there is no way in the world that anyone would lose their job for that!

No matter who we sign, how well we start the season, or how well Otsemobor himself might be playing, I will boo this parasite until he leaves the club. He needs hounding out; there is nothing he can possibly do now to make up for his attitude last season, particularly at Charlton.

Not unfair at all. If we were still championship, attendances would be the same as this season. Money may be tight, but if you can find it to watch Norwich v Big team, you''d find it to watch Shrewsbury if you weren''t fairweather. And as a Jarrold stander, Mr Bumpkin is spot-on. Far too many glory hunters; people who weren''t really upset at all about getting relegated. Bring back the days of 15,000 proper fans.

Good riddance. Worst keeper in our history. Probably the one player who contributed most to our relegation.

[quote user="CANARYCHARGE"]I think we need to be careful before we go out and slate 1 of our only players still contracted to the club![/quote]   Yeah cos all our contracted players are doing such a great job aren''t they? Otsemebor is a joke. He must never pull on the shirt again. I would rather watch a team full of kids giving 100% in the conference than contracted superstars like Otsemebor, Marshall, Clingan or Russell. GET OUT OF MY CLUB!

Clingan is possibly the most overrated player in the squad. Runs about a lot, passes sideways, passes backwards, passes to the opposition. Has been treated like our playmaker all season, but has no creativity at all. Still, he does take a good penalty! Get rid, if anyone''s stupid enough to pay over £1 Million for him, snatch their hand off. Would be the best bit of business since getting  7 figures for Dickson Etuhu.

[quote user="Mr. Bump"]I''d like Marshall to be benched but who do we play alternatively? I don''t rate Nelson at all and to play Rudd in our position is a risk to say the least. [/quote]   No more of a risk than perservering with gaffe-a-game Marshall though.

How is Nelson getting judged here? I have to say i haven''t seen him at all so don''t feel able to comment, but i''d have thought if he''s good enough for the bench then give him a chance. And how about the two young lads? Okay, not ideal but sometimes you have to throw kids in the deep end. Joe Lewis was never given an chance. Do we really have to wait til they''re 22/23 before we give them a go? Nelson may not inspire confidence as you say. But can anyone really say they''re confident with Marshall?

[quote user="ellis206"]Don''t think you can blame Marshall for the second goal last night, and admittedly he came out for the first goal, but I''m pretty sure he was back in position before the striker put it into the far corner, but maybe I''m wrong. And Crab, yes Marshall may have lost us some points, but he has won us more than he has lost, his penalty save against Barnsley, his stop from Walters and Haynes (which wasn''t an easy save to make), his last minute save from Danny Webber against Sheff Utd, which ultimatley won us the game, it''s easy to accuse him of losing us points but he will win us more points than he''ll cost us. [/quote]   Just because he makes a decent save now and again doesn''t mean he''s winning us the points! It''s his job to make saves, just as much as its Croft''s job to put in crosses, and Cureton''s job to score goals. They get lambasted when they have a poor game. Marshall does it time and time again and barely gets a mention. Okay he saved a pen at Barnsley. How many have we conceded this season? 6? 7? One save does not make him the penalty king! The point, as made by Gorleston Jim, is that he has no consistency. Goalkeepers cannot make errors. At least not with the frequency Marshall does. This season he has been absolutely terrible! Name me a keeper we''ve had in the last 30 years who''s more gaffe-prone!

Marshall is possibly the biggest reason for our current league position. I find it unbelievable that he doesn''t get more stick than he does. How many points has he cost us this season with his howlers? Three last night, one against Derby, one against Palace, at least one against Coventry. Every game  i go to i expect him to gift the opposition a goal. People say he''s a good shot-stopper. Well name me one keeper who isn''t a good shot stopper on his day. You don''t become a goalkeeper in the first place if you''re not a good shot stopper! He is no more than average in this department. He is shockingly bad on crosses, has no idea when to come or when to stay, and his lack of confidence ends up spreading to the reast of the defence. If Pattison or Fotheringham had made two howlers like Marshall did last night, they would be crucified on here. Marshall is untouchable. And please don''t tell me he won us the game against the scum. He made one save against Walters. Granted, it was a decent stop, but any professional keeper should be saving 50% of one on ones. The Haynes effort was straight at him- he couldn''t not save it! What else did he have to do (apart from nearly give away a penalty!)? If Nelson''s not good enough i''m afraid that''s down to Roeder. But surely he''s worth a try? £1 million goalkeeper. International? Dont make me laugh!
