We came up against a good team today. Swansea defended well and were very well organised. They also had threat in midfield and up front in form of Dyer, Sinclair and Borini. Dyer was a real pest and Sinclair is obviosuly as class player who must worry defences. Sometimes when we don''t look so good we have to give credit to opposition! Still feeling very confident! On a different point, unusual not to have Nick Bowler who is a very good stand in for Chris Goreham, who is always superb. I didn''t listen to the ''Welsh'' stand in, but good on him for taking on the job - not easy when you are inexperienced.   

[quote user="Mushroom"] No offence to those who have made the changes, but this new outlay really isn''t the sort of change needed. As the saying goes, if it ain''t broke, don''t fix it. I used to love the old layout, now everything has been thrown around and we''ve got a main page that really lacks character. I may be the only one who thinks this, but here''s my attempt to get the old Pink''un layout back! Signed Mushroom. [/quote] Couldn''t agree more, Mushroom. You have my support.   Elpis

[quote user="Rocky Rocastle"]Pete, Congratulations on a good looking new website. As an avid supporter of your work could you please change how the link to the message boards appears as currently I can''t access forums from my blackberry. (Hoovering over opinion doesn''t appear possible on a handheld device). Possibly you could add a direct link on right column or something? Thanks Pete.[/quote]   Don''t get me wrong, whoever works on this site has done a tremendous job- thankyou Pete, if that is you, but I am sure that Pete won''t be happy about being told by somebody upstairs that he''s had to redesign the Pinkun to make way for more advertising space. I am not sure that the pinkun win the prestigious accolade of EDF website of the year (as the new website proudly announces), unfortunately!

[quote user="NottsCanary"]yes, because paying someone to create a new website is the ultimate cost cutting exercise...........[/quote]   It is if it standardises the design of a website across Archant''s stable of websites- the Green ''Un has got the same design. The new website is also dominated by advertising and links to other sections of the EDP- advertising was more discreet on the old website. It is a move that is clearly driven by money. I understand that Archant is a commercial enterprise, but it from a commercial point of view this change is counter-productive if the product is inferior. I for one will probably come to the Pink ''Un less frequently than before.

I feel compelled to post for the first time to this site to register my disappointment at the change to the website. The old website was absolutely superb and I shall miss it. The new one appears to be a generic design used across Archant media. It is the same site as is used by ITFC. I have always thought that Norwich coverage both in terms of the website and Radio Norfolk has always been a cut above that of our local rivals. I can only think that this is a cost cutting exercise. This is a great shame, and I suspect it will lead to less traffic coming to the site. The journalists at Archant must be very disappointed with this- I know that many consumers will. Bring back the old website, Archant... please!
