[quote user="westcoastcanary"]Irvine has been quite open and honest about his position all along since AN was sacked. He is not interested in becoming manager, but he is open to remaining on the coaching staff if the new manager/head coach were to want him. He agreed to step in as acting-manager only because the board asked him to. He has been put in a difficult position by the delay over Webber, which has meant extending his time as stand-in manager. All the flak he is getting is uncalled for IMO.[/quote] Oops!! Remain as coach so he can coach defenders not to tackle, forwards how not to score and players how to continuously give the ball away it''s a unkind shambles

Yes but she won''t unfortunately

Ok i agree that was a cheap shot so how do you think the club will move forward without investment.

Are you a happy clapper?

I am not an Allardyce fan but when he took over at Palace Sky did an interview with him and he said the main reason he took it was that they had investors prepared to back him and quite simply that if you are a serious football club wanting to progress without it you stand still or go backwards. So we could become another Ipswich and spend many years stagnating, quite frankly this lot are taking us there.

Nuff Said I dint actually criticise any individual player just questioned the team selection I dont doubt that every player gives it all but sometimes you have to concede they are not good enough to improve our status and that we need better and yes i was at the game.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Seb is probably still our best central defender and he is not as good as he was. No pairing since has been better than him and Turner.[/quote] Irvine will have to change it now Pinto is suspended I suspect Klose will come in. We need a manager who will play the best we have, why do we persist with Jacob when Josh is quicker and more direct and Wildschut quicker and stronger, I personally would let him move on in the summer, Pritchard was class yesterday linked with Naismith well both quick thinkers, should have started instead of Dorrans. We played quite well yesterday all that was missing was a cutting edge. Kodja and Adomah were different class just goes to show what you get when owners spend and back the manager Villa will go up next season wheras we need 8 or 9 players to replace our ageing squad I know which is more likely

[quote user="Aberdeen_Canary"]Ruddy Pinto, Bassong, Bennett, Djiks Tettey, Howson, Maddison, Josh Murphy, Wildschut, Jerome (or Oliveira if fit) Howson as skipper and hopefully next season too.[/quote] How dare you leave Captain Calamity out however I do agree with the team selection

[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]Russell Martin captain fantastic [Y]And the little terrier Naismith [Y]Bennett and Martin at CB [Y][/quote] This defensive selection suggests to me that goals conceded at Wednesday were all Ruddy''s and Klose fault. I would agree 2 of them but RM keeps his place quite amazing he hasn''t defended well all season this manager is barmy but I can see a narrow win and him here for rest of season

We have just sold him

What about a CB to replace Martin?

Bit like Jacob Murphy then.

We are probably the only club in the EFL who would think that is acceptable, I can''t believe what is happening to our club, no money? Can someone explain please, I don''t get it, I was at game yesterday too much pretty football, not the league for that. It''s simple heard a Sam Allardice interview when he took over at Palace in which he said if you don''t have investment you stand still that''s what we are doing. Don''t tell me the way is to bring the youngsters through cos the Murphy twins are not up to it and Morris can''t get a kick, fine if you are a kid at Man Utd or Arsenal cos they have the very best kids on theit books. So Delia put up or get out.

Do you go to carrow Road ?

[quote user="lake district canary"]Sincerely hope he stays on at Norwich. If we are to get promoted we need him imo - the stability we had against Derby was mainly due to him nd Martin and their good distribution from defence. [/quote] Such a shame Martin can''t defend his attempt to challenge Yoshikawa for second goal yesterday was pathetic we need better

I suppose you would rather have Russell Martin at centre half then

[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]Just what is it with us rewardfing employees for relegation?[/quote] Absolutely agree slim give him an iron brew and a one way ticket to Glasgow most normal people who fail in their job get the push getting rather tired of my club at the minute.

[quote user="Salopian"]I heard someone point out that we have failed to beat any team currently in the top half, add to which our current form is more relegation than promotion. He''s had enough games to suggest that the players are either careless or indifferent to his fate, or both.[/quote]After listening to Moxey interview for me this guy is going nowhere soon, call me a synic if you will but IMO the "board and manager" are not bothered about promotion this season. I predict a massive squad clearout in January assuming anyone wants to buy them that is, and a few lower league players in to keep us up. This is not what i would want but Klose, Brady and Naismith will go, I would try to keep Ollson and would suggest Turner, Martin, Whittaker, Bassong, Josh, Lafferty, Tettey are sold or free to find new clubs, bring Maddison and Toffolo back from loan spells, above all our purchases must be young and physically big. The Leeds side that beat us was just that, big strong and quick. This sort of team will get you promoted from this league.

[quote user="djc"]Alex Neil, Seb Bassong, Delia Smith.[/quote] Donto get this is it a stab at Seb, the way I see it is he is picked to do a job cos the manager decides he is the best we have. If he is not then why take a cheap shot at him. I saw the definiteam goal saving tackle against Huddersfield and the headers at set pieces that our centre forwards didnt get on the end of so accept that he is what he is while we get better. Remember the goal he scored against Liverpool I guess not.

[quote user="lake district canary"]It''s about having a viable left sided midfielder fiesty enough to deal with opposition right wingers. Brady for me doesn''t do enough. You were there yesterday - where was Brady for the scond goal? Trotting back from the half way line as casual as you like.[/quote]Didnt go yesterday first away game i have missed for a while two things i have seen from the highlights Brady''s poor attempt to cut out cross for first goal and Murphys feeble attempt to tackle for lead up to second goal. Too many players on good money going through the motions not hungry enough, fit enough and willing to put the effort in to achieve promotion knowing that they might get a better offer in Jan or the summer. As a club we are treading water i hope i am wrong but cant see us getting anywhere near promotion this season.

[quote user="Duncan Edwards"]Bennett. No.[/quote] Why not Bennett?

[quote user="morty"]Just signed new one and a half year deal.[/quote]Pleased with that he has had a decent season IMO
