Throwing another angle on this What if Lambert is interested in the Villa job and then chats this through with Culverhouse who says he is not prepared to leave Norwich for Villa - given the bond between the two may be this could lead to Lambert seeing the light and deciding to stay put

Apologies if I''ve got this wrong but sure I read before yesterdays game that we had not won a Permier league game on a Sunday? If so again another ghost laid to bed by Lambert and the team. Also worth noting another clean sheet and with no Whitbread so overall a great end to what has been a fantastic season.One which has made me very proud to be a Norwich fan Also apologies for starting a thread highlighting something else which is a positive rather than spending my time just focusing on if he or wont he leave ;)  

My brother is a Man city fan so i have been telling him that if they win the title he has us to thank!! might as well try and share a bit of the glory with him;)

I live near Coventry and when the rumours started about Ward joining I asked some of my cov supporting mates what they thought. the over whelming opinion was that he was a decent defender BUT he thought he was better than he really is. Many mentioned that rather than doing the simple thing he would always over elaberate which too often resulted in a mistake or error which inevitably caused a chance or goal. It would appear they were right, although having said that we have done a lot better with him than they have done without him so cant be that bad!

know i am panicking for no reason BUT just checked fixtures for next week and all the teams near bottom who can catch us have relatively easy games 3 points needed tonight so can calm down and celebrate!!

reallly wish we could all ignore idiotic post like this and leave it with no comments (says me posting a comment -doh!?!)

am i dissapointed with the score.... too right i am - my brothers a man city fan so not great for family rivalry!!! But fact is we didnt deserve that scoreline, beginning of 2nd half we were very impressive and at 2-1 looked the better team. this is against a multi multi million pound opposition so yes dissapointed at score line but not the team theyve done me proud all season

probably a REALLY good player as well as rally!!! doh

have been really impressed with Bennett this season, has shown a great deal of passion and commitment. He really deserved that goal and with this confidence boost could see him becoming a rally good player

Like everone else I am a huge fan of Lambert and I am grateful for him making me proud to be a Norwich fan again But that doesnt mean he is beyond any sort of criticism. The way he changes things often works but I would still like to see an element of consitency within the team selection and formation. The players have all performed brilliantly this year but the defenders in particular are still not the type of truely class players who can comfortably shift formations this easily. Although still wouldnt bet against a Lambert rollicking at half time and a famous come back!!!

pretty sure i read a quote from lambert which seemed to suggest that howson had done really well but that bennett was struggling to match the pace in training. in my opinion would not make sense to throw him in early as it could shatter his confidence. i would be happy to wait and give him a full pre season with the team

must admit i am also getting q bit frustrated with the number of changes, a couple is fine but 4 or 5 every game is too much. this is particularly true when there have been no new injuries Also tends to suggest we are now changing things for the opposition rather than taking the initiative against teams

just feel the diamond is totally reliant on hoolahan great if he is on from but if its one of those days when things dont work for him we struggle

must admit, have some concerns and does look very cahmpionship like. i like the threat of both pilkington and bennet and woukd rather see them at the expense of crofts and dare i say it hoolahan having said that, put a lot more faith in lamberts judgement over mine!!

not one to normally get involved in all this rumour/ conspiracy theories BUT ..... not only not in squad but also no comments on twitter from him tonight which is strange. pilks obviously loves twitter and after every game even when he is not involved there is some sort of well done lads comment tonight nothing but sure just coincidence ( or at least certainly hope so!!)

am i the only one who is starting to question the faith being shown in hoolahan?

im certainly not saying today was a bad result and agree we could all be over criticising BUT there is no doubt that some work still needs to be done its not all doom and gloom but reality is that we have a team built on courage and desire, a loss of confidence following a run of defeats could seriously affect this suggesting changes and need for improvement doesnt mean i dont still have faith in lambert and the team

what concerns me is we seem to have lost faith and confidence in what is our best team and even formation. defence is just patched up with both barnett and martin. midfield we dont know which players (fox or crofts) and what system up front morrison is doing enough but can we get holt in same team as for hoolihan - its the same old question. i know he is great but im not convinced he still so good we can build the rest of the team and formation around him lambert needs to do some work and make some tough decisions to keep us in a good place going into next year

agree arsenal fans giving a good account of themselves (on tv sound at least) fair play to them

de laet missing from bench is odd one especially given everyone calling for his return

holt back on the bench and crofts for bennett what do we think? shame for holt but i think its the right decision. we were far too open v villa and cant afford to do that aginst arsenal wouldnt bet against holt coming on and scoring the winnet though!!

I know not much of a chance but I am after a ticket for the away game at Man City and if possible in the Man City end!! I''ve been succesful in getting a ticket for the game but my brother is a Man City fan and they have apparently sold out (he thought he would get one with no issues - obviously under estimated the attraction of playing the mighty Canaries!!!! - or maybe loads of Norwich fans have bought them!) Its a long shot, but I know lots of fans will have missed out on Norwich tickets and bought in Manchester stands, so if anyone has a spare ticket then let me know (he will be safe to sit next to!) Cheers

i was at the game and felt barnett was by far the weakest link. mistake for their goal was very bad and his distribution during the entire game was very poor. fact that martin who is playing out of position looked the better centre back says it all. de laet has now had time to settle so would give him another chance. agree re bennett as well, he was dissapointing today despite all the above still feel we have more than enough to compete in this league

it was a cetainty bellamy would score still time to turn it around

struggling to get a stream. relying on pink un coverage and twitter!
