Thanks for not reading the millions of other posts on this subject. I appreciate your attempts at not rocking the boat, but we''ve all been here before...

There is no guarantee of better results but at least give Becchio or Loza the youth team player, a chance. What''s the worst that they can do? Not score, they''d be in good company....

The manager can drop players who are out of form and failing to find the net. He has back up strikers which get no games. No matter how much he doesn''t rate them, the poor goal return warrants at least giving them a chance. Thank you for your useful insight though Mr Calderwood.

For all the good we''ve got out of Gutierrez.

[quote user="Beefy is a legend"]I think we will stay up this season. I think we will win 4 of the remaining games and get to around 38pts, which will be enough.[/quote]How do you get the misfiring squad to put away enough goals? Whatever they are doing now is not working so how do you change it?

[quote user="Beefy is a legend"]quote user="Buzz Killington"Why? Fans have a right to be pi55ed off. It''s been clear for so long that we''re not cutting it. Fans have every right to be fickle. I''d say that the fans have been extremely understanding with the club for sticking it out, with only mild message boards signs of discontent. Fans don''t want to contribute to the downfall, so rarely make their feelings known inside Carrow rd, why shouldn''t they vent a little on the message board?/quote The strange thing Buzz, is that we are cutting it. We finished 11th last season, we are outside the bottom three this season. I''m afraid that for NCFC this is life in the Prem. It will be a battle for 40pts season in season out, just like it has been for a decade for Stoke and Fulham. The route of your frustration is your unrealistic expectation.[/quote]What a load of tosh.

We play crap and we loseWe play well and we loseWe aren''t winning. Even when we out play teams we rarely win. The confidence is shot and the good results (ie. Hull and Man City) should be a catalyst for an upturn in form, but they end up being anomolies. We aren''t turning this corner and something needs to happen. The obvious answer is sacking him but what else would turn the form around? What would cause us to put 2 good results together?

And so quick to snipe at the fans when we beat Stoke and were doing ok. Yet suddenly disappears....

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2122116/FC-Magdeburg-fans-point-giant-arrows-players-goal--video.htmlWondering if this is what we need right now!!

I think we will stay up. I believe we have what it takes... That''s not negativity. I just don''t share the optimism that we''re suddenly goign to turn into a free scoring side...

We hold on for a 0-0 v Man City and all of a sudden people are proclaiming us ready to thrash West Ham or start to put 3-4 goals away in several games. Hang on a minute. What evidence is there to back this up? When was the last time we properly thrashed someone? I mean well and truly gave them a tonking? The Man City result is superb but it''s no precursor for our misfiring attack to suddenly starting bagging hat-tricks. We still did not score.... Unless Hughton has a serious change of tactics we will not see more than a 1 or 2 addition in the goals for column every game... I think we should content ourselves with the fact that when the chips are down, Hughton will etch out a result and we will limp over the finishing line. We will stay up but it''s not going to be through a series of 3 or 4 nil victories.....

[quote user="refjezdavies"]I get what the OP is saying, I''m just struggling to see why he felt the need to make the point or indeed what point he was making in terms of Norwich City. Just seemed like another feeble attempt to have a dig....[/quote]Sorry it doesn''t fit into what you consider a good post. It was merely highlighting the feeble attempts of people to use stats as a weapon or stick to put across a point. Whether it''s the inners using the 36 shots as a sign we should have won or the outers using the lack of possession in a game we win, i''m just saying Stats are Bull. They mean nothing. And at that point the stats from the Arsenal game came up and showed they had the majority possession yet were 4-0 down.... I suggest the only feeble thing here is your attempt to read into something that isn''t there.

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]the confidence will be high for Tuesday... been a while since we gave someone a Twa*ting.. West Ham worried?[/quote]did you read this before you posted it or actually thought about it? yes we had a great result today but we didn''t score and we are hardly winning all the time. We have being regularly failing to find the back of the net and both our strikers (1 more than the other) are particualrly barren. West Ham on the other hand are scoring and winning at the moment. I think a more realistic expectation would be for us to go and nick a 1-0 or 2-1. Lets not get ahead of ourselves with a 0-0 and suddenly believe we''re going to be thrashing everyone around us....

This is the crux of it all. we''ve had a few of these supposed "turning" points this season. Non we have built on. We have to do it this time. It is imperative

Can we be anymore inconsistent? I will only truly believe CH is the correct man for the job when he follows up a good result with another good result. To get a 0-0 against a free scoring side today was epic. A superb result. But it will only mean something if we get a result next week. If we go back to the same limp ass performances that have usually followed a great result then it will be for nothing. For the love of Norwich City, please CH stand up on the bloody surfboard and ride the crest of the wave that this performance has started..... Show that you can play this way every week.. Please

Yobo has the game of his life and we either conceed 1 or have a complete shut out and he''s hailed a hero.....or within 45 minutes we are 5-0 down and Yobo shows his ring rust and has an absolute mare. Is put out to stud and remembered along the lines of Theoklitos...Or maybe neither :)

[quote user="Making Plans"]Ominous - one PL team in yellow getting a tonking today, will there be another?[/quote]The ironic part is that voodoo like this is probably statistically more accurate than assessment by stats!!!

Arsenal had 60% possession in the game. They''re unlucky. They should have had more out of this game.... yadda yadda yadda. It just makes me chortle that people use stats as a weapon and yet they show nothing.... Just like all our shots we had last week..

20 minutes into the Liverpool v Arsenal game and Arsenal have 58% possession to Liverpools 42%. Yet Liverpool are winning 4-0..... Who says stats mean anything?

[quote user="nutty nigel"]The eight Saddam body doubles are gathered in one of the bunkers in downtown Baghdad. Tariq Aziz, the deputy prime minister, comes in and says, "I have some good news and some bad news." They ask for the good news first. Aziz says, ''The good news is that Saddam is still alive, so you all still have jobs." "And the bad news?" they ask. Aziz replies, "He''s lost an arm."     [/quote]Ha ha. That had me laughing out loud

Til 1010, that reminds me of a joke. . . . .When does Saddam Hussein have his breakfast?When Tariq Aziz

[quote user="LondonCanary"][quote user="nutty nigel"]More defining towards premier league establishmnet than Holt on half a season loan from Wigan. Much as I like the bloke.     [/quote] Aston Villa have played top flight football for 102 consecutive seasons. We have managed it for 22 years in the history of the club. Hopefully they get relegated to the championship for the next 81 years while we remain up. In 2094 we will then have a more established record. Give or take some years for bad maths. And if we can exceed their 4 European cups 7 top flight league titles, 7 FA cups and 5 league cups (we have 1 I know) and extend carrow road by 25,000 enroute its a bonus. This continued obsession with comparing Norwich to Villa is laughable.[/quote]In the words of a former message board poster " Huzzah"

I would think the board are holding onto their cash in this transfer window. We''ve just become debt free and although we are in 12th place we are not 100% sure of survival. So I think they will possibly sanction 1 or 2 loan players and then wait until the summer to splash the big cash. This is nothing to do with Hughton but the club as a whole. They will believe we have enough talent to stay up and, therefore, why risk going into debt again when we can turn a tidy profit and splash bigger and for realistic money later on
