Year of the tiger

I know no one plays 2 up front from the start but surely most teams have a plan B where you play 2 strikers when you''re trying to break down a defence in the last 15 minutes at home. Trouble is most of the time we''re slow & pedestrian giving plenty of time for the opposition to get everyone back behind the ball

Wasn''t Whiitaker suspended last night?

Yes, can''t take anymore Hughton away performances

What I cannot understand with many posters is that argument that "it was a very good team we played & it''s only 4games into the season" . The whole point is the style of play is the same as last season.We played the same way at such luminaries as Wigan, qpr, Reading, & Stoke. We''ve supposedly upgraded the players but as far as I can see nothing has changed. Watching Wolfie you can understand how Holty suffered. And also if I ever bother to listen to what our manager says I want to hear about Norwich, not how good the opposition bre it Tottenham, hull or even Luton for god sake. And before anyone accuses me of pant wetting etc I''ve been watching City away since the mid 60s

To the OP. our league away record in 2013. Played 11 won 1 drwn 2 lost 8 goals for 5 against 22 Take out the Man City game (enjoyable but they were not exactly bothered ) and we''ve scored 2 goals. More worrying still you can properly count the total number of shots on 2 hands. For those of us who travel away and are caused of over reacting to a defeat by Spurs, it is not just those 90 minutes but a cumulative horror show that gets worse & worse.

Agreed, really friendly guy RIP

At the summit of Mount Vesuvius whilst collapsed over a barrier after walking up.

I do worry tbat some fans underestimate the contribution Holtg mames to the team not only in playing but chafacter both on and off the pitch. In 2004 Worthy got rid of the big characters Malky, Iwan & Cricts. Although the replace.ents were tech ically better the heart of the team had gone

Keep

Don''t shoot the messenger Richardo I am only saying what my mate said in his message & Matty Svensson''s tweet was hardly a ringing endorsement. I''ve never seen Ola play & I was very impressed by the stats. Hope its just a couple of biased opinions, after all Trappatoni didn''t rate Wessi did he

Not physically maybe but this was the word this Swedish friend used.

Hate to put a fbit of a downer on this but a friend who is aSwedish Norwich fan is horrified by the propect of signing Toivenen, says he is a weak player & is not up to PL. And before I''m shouted down that is roughly what Matt Svensson tweeted this afternoon

Also I have never quite got the rating of Ayala . Every time I''vewatched him he like likely to concede a penalty. Not sure if he is still injured but doesn''t even seem to have got on the bench since Davies took over. I think that IF we stay up there will be a pretty big turnover especially as some players won''t want to spend a second year kicking their heels on the bench

Don''t forget that players like Rudd Korey Smith Adeyemi and Francombe would no longer count as under 21s and if we kept them would either have to be named in the 25 or again shipped out on loan all year. Think most will go.

The bit that reminds me so much of 95 is that just before Christmas I was hearing "we only need 4 wins from 21 games" now its "we only need 2 wins from 7" Except realistically its 2 from 5 (anyone think we can win at Atsenal of Man City?) I can still hear Robert Chase saying it. IF we don''t win Saturday or at the Emirates the pressure to beat Reading will be incredible & we know of old what City teams do under pressure. I hope I am being jusyt my usual pessimistic self but I fel we could be in trouble. And Ricardo, Villa, Stoke, Wigan, Newcastle, Fulham, West Ham, Stoke & by virtue of a new manager bounce Sunderland  

But we are taking smaller allocations than last year. ie 2500 at Old Trafford as opposed to 3000 last year, top tier only at QPR

if it was the 84/5 season i was there. not long after milk cup final, a strange team selection with younsters Clayton Rigby & Rosario. And John Deehan are centre back! Shame we ended up being relegated

Well done Ricardo & Snowy.

The updated lists are now on the Premier League site. Chris Martin is the odd one out  

Interesting that Chris Martin, who''s loan spell ends at Swindon this weekend is not in the squad but Butterfield  is

Am I the only person who is a bit concerned that he might not get a work permit and where that would leave us.

Sorry AJ you''re wrong the numbers stay the same in the FA Cup its the tie number, so the draw remains the same. League Cup is alphabetical

Still more upset by our abject surrender at Anfield. Now that was and is serious
