  1. I would always start with Hoolahan, but if he is not getting a look in due to being marked out of the game I would like to see Mcnamee come on earlier maybe even at half time... though not for Wes, having two players on who could be a threat would be better even when wes is being man marked he is taking a defender out of the game. I think things should get better now Holt is back with him giving Wes protection and being able to feed him with knock downs from the long balls.
  2. By the sounds of it McNamee has pace AND a decent final ball so I cant see where he would fit?
  3. Quite a few ex players move back here, and I think its testement to just who nice the area is!
  4. No, but he can put things right by scoring in the next three games to put things right!
  5. Like Lambert said, the sign of a good team is if they are able to come back from a bad result... something both Charlton and Leeds have not been able to do with their recent blips. I hope we come back, having had a grounding today, with Holt and a determination to get the job done next week... at least we dont have a match midweek like others so a full week of training to get ourselves in shape for Brighton! Onwards and Upwards![:D]
  6. Glad to hear he had scored, lets hope he helps Yeovil strip some points off our rivals!
  7. If he is so terrible... why are we top and lost for the first time since October? People just love a scapegoat, dont they! By the sounds of it we just werent quite at our best against a very good team away, but holt will be back next week and with him we have that added threat and the ability to hold the ball up for Hollahan and Martin to get in the game more, which sounded to be a big problem today.
  8. Holt everytime! If hes''s not scoring, he is causing probelms for the defence and letting others take advantage, the break probably has done him some good as he has had a back injury apparently. Iam a fan of Cody though and hope he has a future at this club.
  9. Dury... might be one of the reasons we were not looking ourselfs on saturday, as he was not on the pitch. Thats not to say I dont think Rose has done a good job!
  10. Urghhhhh! The commentators are going on and on about Leeds execellent support and how they get normally 25,000 a match [:@]Why do they still get their arses kissed by the media?
  11. [quote user="Wembley_Canary"][quote user="birchfest"]Hahaha, I keep reading people saying things like this and it appears that many think they will litterally just whack the seats on top where the roof is! Thats not the case they would build the tier by stripping the roof off and building from the back extending the Jarrold stand behind itself in a similar way to how the N & P and Barclay are double tiered... therfore the new higher stand would have its own foundations taking the majority of the weight.Just to make it even clearer it would be like the Leeds stadium, google it and have a look! [/quote] Obviously I am aware of how they would extend the Jarrold stand, the problem that arose a few years back after we finished building it was that the ground around it may not be strong enough to support a much bigger extension on the stand, and that''s why we can''just do an "Elland road" or "St James Park".[/quote]I dont know how true it is, but certainly two questions that could be raised are, if the ground isnt stable why is there already a huge stand able to be built on it (and why did they claim it could be extended) and also if thats true why are they able to build those huge blocks of flats in the land behind it? Oh well as long as the  football is good I cant say im massively fussed!

  13. I think we could reach the 40,000 mark. For instance if they were to double tier the Jarrold stand (in a very similar style to Elland road) and have the upper tier the same cappacity that alone would be an extra 8,000 seats. That would take us up to 34,000 alone. If the city stand and the corners between the barclay and river end we all given a second tier it could again add potentially 4,000 more seats and probably more room for boxes which could get it up to around 39,000 or so. It would certainly be a long term idea and would require us to be in the premireship for a couple of seasons.
  14. Top of league 1, we can build on our squad and keep the momentum going next season and make a promotion push next season. Its also better as we will be able to attract players far better than a lower championship team... as we found out lasrt season!
  15. Well having read what has been said in the pinkun articles, it appears what they are suggesting and also what would be the cheapest at most practical option would be increasing the City stand. This could put our capacity up to about 30,000 if they include increasing the corners too. I think they would be looking to do this upon our return to the Championship and then in the future if we were able to maintain premire league status for more than one season we would then put a second tier on the Jarrold stand, which would almost certainly increase the capacity to close to 40,000.It is interesting to see from the figures just how much revenue we have made since 04 in ticket sales alone ( 43.4 million) which works out as 7.166 million a season. I think with the added capacity we could be looking to push that up to between 8 and 10 million a year in ticket sales alone!
  16. Its important we win our matches and take advantage of any points dropped!
  17. Hopefully Spainboy to Charlton for the rest of the season!
  18. [quote user="cityangel"]There''s a statement on the main website now   http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/NewsDetails/0,,10355~1952165,00.html [/quote]Looks like we are taking this all the way then! I just hope this doesnt back fire as it could turn out to be quite expensive.
  19. Good, they wont go for Lambert yet and he wont leave us yet... let them get in a manger who can stay there for the next 5 years or so and we can get back to the premire league in the mean time!
  20. Well he is proving himself at this level, and  I think that while he wont score as many goals, he will be able to provide assists and take defenders out of the game.... at the end of the day though if you can put the ball in the back of the net and finish well it doesnt matter what league you are in. I also think he makes a good captain.
