Its a shame we''re getting rid of Hooper, i think they''d make a good partnership, Naismith doing the donkey work and Hooper finishing them. We all know Hooper doesn''t like tracking back and putting the effort in but he could definitely put the ball in the back of the net once all the hard work had been done.

I think the subs were spot on, he rolled the dice and on this occasion partly lost. I say only partly as by taking off VOO and Wes he will hopefully have them in good form for Bournmouth. VOO actually impressed me as the game went on, his defending got quite good as the game progressed, and his attacking was quite good too. Only thing i noticed was his insistence to do the same cut inside each time which was seemingly always blocked by a Stoke Player, get him to mix up his movement a bit more and he''s going to be a nightmare for the opposition.

Drop him?? with a header like that put him upfront!! He''s arguably our best CB at the moment dropping him would be a mistake

I know AN will say every game is a can win match. But realistically this match he must be hoping for at least a point, or maybe a few more. We bossed them last time we met, and if it were not for the keeper we''d have scored quite a few. I''m hoping that Jack Butland has an off game tonight!

I think its a great bit of business, not a 1st choice striker for us for whatever reasons and probably taking a large wage for warming the bench or his sofa. I think we can look to reinvest that money wisely, finding a young and hungry forward to shadow Mbokani & Jerome or an experienced striker from over seas (would cost too much from the EPL) I am not too worried about him starting against us as i would say he''s a bit away from match fit, but he may play a bit part, if he does i hope he gets a good response from the Norwich Faithful. Good deal for both sides and looking forward to whoever we now bring in.

I''d Like to see us sell: Grabban & Hooper and if we won''t use him lafferty (would like to see him used though) Also sell: Whitts, Turner and Andreu and VOO I''d like to see us bring in some new, young but talented reinforcements. Two Ajax players to strengthen defence in Riedewald & Tete and a Striker, which is difficult - i''ve not been overly impressed with the names banded about... how about Alex Pato from Corinthians?

Am I the only one thinking we can have a nice song going for him should he be between the sticks for us again?? "Lets get Ruddy Ruddy Lets get Ruddy Ruddy Lets get Ruddy to Rumble.... lets get Ruddy to Rumble...."

I have noticed this as well, I wonder if its literally down to maximizing profit for the club shop? If a local sports seller has the shirt on offer when the club shop doesn''t it loses revenue. They can also set the prices at their ridiculously high levels. My Nephew lives in Sheffield, and as a youngster I needed to share my influence as I would hate for him to become a sheffield utd/wed fan or an Arsenal fan (his other uncle) - so he asks me for a new kit for Christmas - just short of £60 for Shirt, Shorts and Socks. Oh how i pray that other sports shops sell to drive the costs down. But being said everywhere I''ve been abroad they Know Norwich :) in thailand the locals were telling me the scores and in Turkey they guy said to me "NORWICH, WE HATE THE IPSWICH SCUM" - he got all my business

[quote user="kick it off"][quote user="Andy G"]I don''t think he is the answer to our needs, i think he''s too much of a risk, even if fit has he the speed and ability to plug the gaps. I''d like to see us aim for young up and coming who can grow with the squad, I''d love to see us aim for Jairo Riedwald from Ajax, he''s only 19 but is holding his own in the Ajax squad as a CB, and has enough ability already to have been in the Dutch Squad. We could even go for a double swoop and go for Kenny Tete too to cover RB.[/quote]Tete and Tettey in the same team? Goreham wouldn''t thank you for that suggestion! [:D][/quote] I hadn''t thought of that, guess it''d be like Bennett and Bennett, or if we ever had the Murphy boys playing together... God forbid all 4 playing at once.. Its Bennett to Bennett who passes to Murphy who see''s Murphy and sets him up nicely!! I think January Transfer window could be exciting as we all know that we need some big signings, I just hope we aren''t left feeling disappointed at a lack of movement again

I can see us grinding out another win, nothing fancy, a very defensive game and trying to score from the counter. Fingers crossed we stick with a strong back four. For me i''d like to see Wisdom, Bennett, Bassong, Olsson at the back, with Mulumbu and Tettey sitting just infront 1-0 to NCFC

Looking at their last game, the best way to keep Costa quiet is to wind him up, he then becomes more focused on the player than the game. I Think 4 at the back would be fine for this game: Wisdom - Bennett - Bassong -Olsson Tettey - Mulumbu Redmond/Howson Brady Hoolahan Jerome

I really don''t understand this VOO situation. When he came to us, on paper he looked fantastic, but no manager has rated him enough to play him? On Paper he looks as though he should be a Decent Level Prem player but from what we''ve seen (around his injuries) i''m not so sure. If the Managers don''t rate him there must be a reason. I''d like him to get his chance and live up to his "potential" but I do question whether he''s the answer to our problems and whether he was a "panic buy" or turning into another Becchio.

Delia.... biggest legend of Norwich City!! For all the negativity put towards her over the years the old dear has always shown her unfaultering support, she has also kept the vultures away! I would prefer someone like Delia who has a passion for the club than a rich oversea''s investor who would only use the club as a cash cow.

I''ll always be pleased for the heroes of NCFC once they move on. When I heard about Holts injury I thought with his age he''d never play again, but its great he''s back, fit and getting some time. That being said there are other players I couldn''t care less for... Holt is always going to be welcome in Norwich and IF he does move this way I don''t blame him, its a great place for families as it''s friendly, quiet but has everything you could need.

I''d won £46 back in the end, so i had the printing done and i was still in Pocket. Account now going to run dormant as I''ve withdrawn all amounts and have no need of a betting account

After my 3rd bet, i sent them a quick email and they swiftly replied saying they''d add it to my account, after that i think it was about a 48hr wait. but it came through

[quote user="ron obvious"]I think the only problem might be his wanting it enough; has he got the commitment & passion to see him through a dreary night at Stoke? We''ll find out soon enough[/quote] I''ll put my neck on the line and say A dreary night in stoke may be slightly better than a dreary night in some parts of the Ukraine... Pretty sure we''ll be Okay on that front

I have to hand it to Leicester they looked good for their win today. The Penalty... very soft but then i think if it was us, we''d have been screaming for it. From the angle of the Ref I can understand why he gave up, was a difficult call, it was a shame but we will get our breaks this season too! What most concerned me was the way we kept making forced mistakes, every time we had the ball they pressed and we needlessly rushed a pass with little accuracy. I think one of the ones which stuck out most was when CJ had the ball and within seconds he had 3 people around him! I think the way they played stopped us in our tracks and fair play to them. Time Wasting for injury sorry i can''t call this ether, it wasn''t like Middlesborough last year where they spent most the game rolling on the floor. I think Vardy may have been hurt but eager to play on.... just like Hoolahan in the first half who take a while to get back up and play on! Alex Neil noticed the issues we were being forced to play and put on Redmond and Mbokani which was a great choice. I''m going to say Mbokani hadn''t filled me with much confidence in the past few weeks as he seemed to fear venturing into the box, but this game he changed my opinion! I think we have to give credit to Leicester for their tactics this weekend and take it on the chin. So lets now look forward to Newcastle, i think this is going to be a fantastic game, I have us winning 2-0 with Mbokani to Start upfront! OTBC

Was it Ronnie Pickering?

Now I know Lafferty has a lot of flaws but I believe his attitude this year has been fantastic and an example of how a fringe player should be. Earlier this season he had a discussion and said he didn''t want to leave and wanted to fight for his place. He then scores plenty of goals on the International stage (even though he was not fit enough to play for us) Even though the Scoring for Northern Ireland he is still not chosen ahead of other strikers, but the one chance he does get he lets his feet do the talking. He has clearly given Alex Neil a welcomed difficult decision and you''ve got to start seeing him moving up the pecking order. Whether it works out or not for him I don''t know but how many "fringe" players are happy to sit and not be played? I think a lot of players could learn a lot from him.

I can see this being a good "spectator" game with a lot of midfield flair from both sides. Watching the last game Liverpool played the link up play from mid-strikers wasn''t good enough and went to pot when being pressured. I can see them getting a goal though, perhaps early in the first half and from a set peice. I think we''ve enough about us to put pressure on them and force the mistakes, whether we can capitalize on them i''m not sure but i predict we''ll get one back for a 1-1 half time. I would love to see both Jerome and Mbokani playing, but who would you drop for it? I can see it being 1-1 till near enough full time and a late a goal coming hopefully from Norwich. 2-1 Norwich is my prediction

I''d love to see our players, before a match, lined up, giving a rendition of OTBC, just like they were singing their national anthems during an International!

I was thinking about the lack of midfield creativity, perhaps Howson should be getting his call up!
