[quote user="True Citizen"]Not much evidence that we''re going to try playing the Norwich way. When the chips are down or we''re under pressure we resort to long balls up front rather than passing it on the deck. Instead of booing, the plastics cheer every hopeful punt upfield and remark on how exciting, adventureous and attacking our play is.Those who can remember what quality really is will be getting restless. But it won''t be until we miss out on the playoffs and our best players are sold off that the happy clappers and plastics to realise that this was yet another false dawn. Adams out.[/quote] Did you have the same feelings after the last few games? It''s just I never heard you mention this then?

I would personally take the money, On his day he is unplayable but he is not consistent enough in my opionion. His end product is frequently woeful and u can''t see him becoming more consistent in the future. If we don''t cash in on him now I feel he may miss the boat

[quote user="Kidderminster Exile"]Now for Christ''s sake get off Adams back, 2 wins in 3 days is beyond Hughtons dreams[/quote] Not to mention 6 goals!!

[quote user="Mike "]Disagree, he has turned us down because we did not impress him enough. But hey McNally is great in the transfer market... not impressed at all to be honest. One of our targets thinks he''ll progess more at Bournemouth more than us. Howe established manager, Adams a youth coach... [/quote] Lewis Grabbon thought the same, oh wait.....

Me thought so to but sometimes things take while

It makes me wonder how much faith Adams has in players like toffolo and Gefaiti. If Olson was to leave would toffolo be seen as a good back up to Garrido? I wonder how many centre backs Adams is looking at getting in? Will Gafaiti be used as one of the four centre backs? I agree that at the right price snodgrass would not be a major dent with the players in our squad but I can''t help but think he would rip teams apart on his own in the championship.

Who do you think will play the most next season from the youth players? My money is on Josh Murphy as I fear we may not see Snodgrass play at Carrow road this season. Do you feel we will see a big injection of the youth players? Rudd? Toffolo? McGeehan? Jacob Murphy? Jamar Loza? (I really hope he gets 10 goals) Gafaiti?

Not that I would ever think of it this way as much more stranger things have happened but when you look at the average points per game no team in the bottom three should be able to make above 32 points, assuming they carry on at the same average points per game....   Cardiff : Played 32 and have got 26 points = 0.8125 points per game. Therefore in theory they will be 4.875 points from their last 6 games giving them a total 30.875 points. Sunderland : Played 30 : 25 Points = 0.8333 per game. They should get 6.67 points from their remaining 8 games which gives a total of 32 points. Please also note they play four top six teams in the their next four. Fulham should only get to 28.5 points at their rate of points.   We should never take our foot off the pedal but I cannot see any of them teams getting much better so the way I see it we need 35 points to definitely be safe.

Players have to hold their hands up today. This performance isn''t CH''s fault

Simple by name.........

[quote user="JF"]So the only player in the team capable of scoring is Hooper being supplied by 2 of the slowest wingers and probably the least creative midfield pairing in the league. Also going stubbornly with the tried and failed 4-4-2 again. This clown will take us down.[/quote] Not that I want us to play 442 but this tried and failed has got us 4 points out of 6

Where is Fer?

I''m pretty sure there was a point where all that I mentioned were injured at the same time

[quote user="City1st"][quote user="Butterbean_Canary"][quote user="City1st"]odd that so many players are ''not performing''what key factor would you suggest here ? [/quote] I''d love to know what you are suggesting CH is saying to these players.   Do you think he is saying to them to slow everything down.....pass to their players....make ridiculous mistakes....when you get the chance to cross it, kick it out for a goal kick.....when you see a through ball, turn around and pass it backwards or sideways???   [/quote]nopehe has them playing an absurd kind of zonal play which leads to this sort of stuffno too difficult to spotwhat does appear difficult is for you to recognise the responsibilities of a manager and his coaching staff [/quote]   I''m not saying CH doesn''t need to stand up and be counted. See my first post on this where I say he is not fully to blame.   We have had a good few players come out and say they are behind CH and that the players should also take blame.   Also, see my posts about certain key players being injured. This is a massive factor to why we are not performing as well as the start of the season.   Either way around we are joint 10th in the league with a bit of breathing space

[quote user="Reggie Strayshun"][quote user="Butterbean_Canary"][quote user="Jimmy Smith"]We went for Toivonen and then got Elmander. He was going to be that guy. Howson had taken the link up role on pretty well before getting injured. He has been a colossal loss to our line up.[/quote] This is something that has been overlooked by many and something I agree with strongly. Same goes for Tettey. That midfield three of Tettey, Howson and Fer looked very good before they both got injured. It seem to give Fer and Howson a lot of freedom and we seemed to create more when it was those three in the middle, [/quote]I quite see where Jimmy and BB are coming from with this. Of course teams miss injured players. But, I''m sorry, we are playing with the big boys now. Every team gets its fair share of injuries, and we''ve been no exception. Is not saying this just another convenient excuse ? We had some pretty dire performances/results long before Howson etc got crocked.[/quote] The only period where we had a full squad was at the start of the season when we played really well against Southampton, Stoke, Chelsea, Arsenal, Cardiff etc. Since then we have been disrupted big time with injuries. Tettey, RVW, Howson, Pilks, Snodgrass have all been out for a while. Not many teams have had so many first teamers out at one time really 

I suggested at the start of the season that he already has a number 10 in Johnny Howson,   Just a shame that he is injured

Call me a happy clapper if you like. Call me what ever you want but I think its not all CH''s fault. I personally think its the players not performing. He deployed the same tactics for when Hooper went on his goal streak. The only difference then was the players were performing. Like Fer''s through-ball for Hooper against WBA. I have heard fans say that he is not motivating them the right way before the game. IMO that is tosh. If he could not motivate them before the game then why can he at half time. Certain players like Bassong, Fer, Snodgrass, Martin all need to stand up and be counted. Certainly RVW and Hooper need too, These are players with experience that should be able to pick themselves up. They are the so called leaders in our team

Superstition I guess. It doesn''t mean they lose if they don''t play to the ''right'' end first

Have you played in front of large crowds? I''ve played football all my life and the crowd have not made much difference but I''ve only played in front of around 500 people max. On your theory no away team would ever win
