    Not surprised the Cardiff fans are saying she was awful. Listening to the commentary I think we were fortunate they don’t have VAR in the Championship as apparently Cardiff should have been awarded a penalty in the first half. Had it been given and converted I think the second half would have been a totally different story and we would have probably ended up getting thrashed 5-1

    If you're happy to have Grant Holt as Wagner's replacement then you have to be happy to have Frank Lampard. Given the current situation we are in, we need someone with good Championship managerial experience, and Holty doesn't have any managerial experience at all. Wouldn't say no to him working as a coach though, as he was a great striker in his playing days

    Although I agree that it’s time for Delia to end her control as it’s too difficult to run a club at our level as self funded anymore due to how inflated the transfer market has got over the years, I still regard Delia as a far better owner than some of the owners we have seen at other clubs over the years. Being a true Norwich fan, she doesn’t take the money for herself. The only down side to it is her own financial wealth. As it’s only money from her cook books she’s sold she doesn’t lend us any money, forcing us to earn the money ourself. However, it’s not all about wealth. Look at the Glazers for an example, billionaires but all the Man Utd fans want them out. If they sold up and then Delia sold up to them would you take them? No way, not unless they changed and took the same approach to us as Man City’s and Newcastle’s owners take to their clubs (give us money and don’t want it back)

    Lambert was great when he came, getting us straight back up to the Championship, then back to back promotions to the PL. However, ever since he left us he’s failed everywhere, and so I would only say no as if he was appointed I think we would only see a repeat of the second spell of Mike Walker

    1) Salary cap. Personally I don’t just think it’s harsh on the smaller teams but that’s it’s horrible for all the people out there who are struggling with the cost of living crisis at the moment. Just think, some people struggle to earn £25k p/a, so I would have a maximum wage of just £2k p/w. Just about all players go into some other football related activity when they hang up their boots, whether it’s coaching, management, being pundits etc so they don’t need the money. Would like this to be introduced by FIFA, so it’s active worldwide

    2) Transfer fee cap. Again, something else I would like FIFA to introduce. It’s causing inflation in the market, so I would have a maximum club expenditure of £100m in transfer fees p/s. Ban all clubs in debts of £50m+ from spending anything in transfer fees, so they can only sign free agents and players from their academy

    3) Scrap VAR. It’s doing more bad than good. Keep GLT though

    I was here, and why wouldn't I be, a perfectly creditable point away from home. You boys got a good win as well, its all good.

    To be honest BH, I don’t mind rival fans who behave like you currently are - I have a football teammate who’s a Tractor Boy, and we just respect each other’s teams. When we were in League One, there were two Leeds fans on here. One hardly posted anything but was a perfectly respectable guy. The other, who called himself “Spainboy” was constantly winding us up, saying things like “you’ll never catch us” because of Leeds’ good cup run with their win at Old Trafford. However, Leeds’ cup run proved costly for them as it provided as a distraction and Spainboy disappeared as we overtook them in the table. At the end of the season he came back under a different name and apologised to us, probably because he’d got banned

    It’s far too early to be making predictions as there’s still a long way to go but if it turns out to be your season this time round, all I would say is credit to you

    A good cup run does not help you in the league. It just gives more opportunities for injuries/fatigue/suspensions. I don’t know who remembers our season in League One when we were competing with Leeds for the title but Leeds were top of the league at first and went on a good cup run, including a win at Old Trafford but their cup run just provided as a distraction for them and they ended up finishing in second place, with us winning the title

    I’d always take promotion. Yes it’s always difficult following the club through the first season, especially as we hold the record for the number of PL relegations but promotion’s an achievement and you will also see a great season in the Championship - what would you prefer, hanging around mid-table in the Championship with the occasional relegation battle (like the Grant-Roeder-Gunn era), or going up to a higher level?

    I know there’s all the financial issues but there’s a possibility that things might change with Attanasio now involved. Even so I do think we already have several decent players in the side

    The Stoke fans clearly fear this fixture but after our performance against Rotherham I do too

    Would go for:

                                 Gunn

    Stacey        Duffy     Gibson     Giannoulis

                          Sara     McLean

       Fassnacht       Barnes            Rowe

                                  Idah

     

    I think it’s worth starting Idah. I know he’s approaching 100 appearances for us but we all know that for the majority of his time here he’s been behind Pukki in the pecking order and so the majority of those appearances have been as a sub. For a player to get good experience I think they regularly need to be playing at about 60 mins, not 1-20 mins. Apparently Hwang also only started training on Thursday

    Supposed to be out for several weeks with an ankle sprain. With the reports about it (stretchered off and on crutches) I feared it was a fracture or ligament damage and he would be out for months. Not good but at least it’s not too bad. Fingers crossed the rest of our players on international duty all come back in one piece though. I think the friendly between Scotland and England might give the likes of Gunn and McLean some practice against PL opposition

    Tzolis scored 4 in 4 games now, good to see and impressive for a wide man as we know with Rowe.  Shame there's an option to buy really.

    That is in the German 2nd tier though, which I think is a lower strength league in comparison to the Championship

    Right. Omo out, Batth, Hwang and Ogwuru in. Did I miss anything?

    Ogwuru announced as a 'long-term deal', but the completionist in me gets really annoyed that they won't stipulate the contract length. If anyone can find out when Fisher, Reyes and Ogwuru's contracts expire, I'll be eternally grateful!

    Have we actually paid a transfer fee for anyone aside from Fassnacht?

    It would help if the list stated clearly which players in the "IN" are loans with no option to buy..

    We paid a transfer fee for Fisher who surprisingly isn’t on the list as although he’s still a teenager, it’s seems like he’s backup for Stacey.

    The reality is our parachute payments end this season so we need to balance the books in case we don't achieve promotion. It's not lack of ambition, it's actually very sensible 

    Not just in case we don’t achieve promotion, but also to help prepare for next summer in case we do achieve it - we all know what happened last time we won promotion already in debt......
