    [quote user="Indy_Bones"] No disrespect intended here Wandsworth, but I know which of the two I''d go with, and it wouldn''t be your other half. [/quote]

    No disrespect taken. Point I was trying to make was someone with limited football knowledge could see he was poor. Forgetting that though, of all our recent managers Lambert has proven himself to be more than capable. However, he sees Theo week in week out and doesn''t rate him highly enough even to play for the reserves on a regular basis - to me that is enough of a statement on Theo ability or lack of it. I for one would go with Lambert''s judgement on a player over anyone on this board.

    Ignoring the Colchester game - which is difficult. I was then at Brentford away. I took my wife who although not a huge footy fan did grow up watching her brother play semi-pro and has been to a few games with me. Not being a Norwich supporter she was aware of the Colchester result, but not the reasons. Anyway Theo was warning up in front of us before the match. My wife turned to me and commented how bad his positioning was for the warm up shooting, both stance wise and during saves (when they happened) and how he didn''t look like a professional keeper. Needless to say if my wife could spot this you would have hoped Gunn etal could have.

    In terms of this season we have had two bad patches. the pre-Lamberth shambles and now. The first was a results and performance bad patch, now we are going through a performance dip - however the most important thing is results. We have been terrible is stages of all the last four games, but then we have won three. We were very good against Leeds, except for the last few minutes, but got nothing. I would take bad performances over bad results any day. I think we are still due a bad patch of results and see this happening when Holt picks up his 10th booking and misses two games. I think this will happen in 4 games time and hence he will miss Swindon and Huddersfield. Oli and Cody did Ok last time Holt was out, as they were a bit unknown. However, managers have seen them now and will know how to keep the quiet. They are also both impact players in my eyes and not out and out starting material.

    To be honest I agree. However, over the last four games our defence and most importantly the cover from midfield (both centrally and also from the wide positions) has not been at it''s best. We could have (but luckily weren''t) 3 goals down yesterday. I think we have a smashing of another team in us, but also feel we have a thumping from someone else in there too. I fear this may be Southampton (for no stronger reason than most of my friends support them and I had a great time winding them up on Sat when Pompey turned them over). Also they do look as good as anyone in this league going forward. The away fixture at Saints was the best game I have seen in this league this year in terms of football both teams played.

    From the article above

    Kazenga LuaLua wants to kick-off his Albion career by scoring past a Newcastle colleague again.

    There will be a Forster on the pitch at Withdean today – Nicky’s namesake Fraser between the posts for leaders Norwich.

    LuaLua beat the giant Forster in training at Newcastle this week and now aims to do the same for real on his Albion debut.

    He said: “We were doing crossing and finishing in training and I told him I hope I score one past you like that.

    “He said to me if you try I’ll snap you! It would be great to score past him, because that would just do his head in.

    surprised he trains up with Newcastle still, seems a bit odd. Must be part of the loan agreement

    My only conern is an injury to Holt, as I am not sure we can break down the better teams without him, as shown over the last three games. I think the top two as they stand will be the two that go up, although agree a Swindon or other will make a late run just to keep us biting our finger nails till the very end.

    Was looking on the on-line ticket site and it seems there are 4 setas left for the saints game in two weeks time. Looks like this might be a new season high attendance for us. Should be an excellent atmosphere tomorrow at Millwall also with 3000+, can''t wait. Nice sunny day down here in London today, fingers crossed it continues tomorrow.

    With the recent talk on restricted tickets at Col Who and less than 900 available at Brighton. How many do we think we will take to Millwall? I see their dedicated away end can hold up to 4000. It would be great if we could go close to filling that. I for one have my tickets (although unreserved seating I note).

    We managed 1800 away at Brentford on a Tuesday night when we were terrible.

    We may sell for £35M, and as mentioned clear the debt and have £12M. The problem is at present we pay £1.6M in debt interest and lose £3M to £5M a year, if we replace the £1.6M interest with £1M ground rent we are still losing money each year. 10 years down the line we could in theory have lost another £25M to £35M, spent the proceeds, be back in debt again and have no major asset as security or have the ability to buy our ground back. Before we sell off the crown jewels, we need to get the yearly finances back in order. As tough as they may be in reduced running costs it is the only sensible long-term plan. Once we are on an even ground we can then look to service the debt better. Selling the ground, players or magic new investment are one off usually short term fixes. As a one off revenue stream I would rather sell the naming rights (equally controversial) year-on-year than the whole ground.
