Time flies by in the Yellow and Green.

my first match v Cardiff City 31st Aug 1946. First match after the 2nd world war. 2-1 win to Norwich. Goals from Cyril Walker and Billy Furness, At least seven in that team had been with city before the war, Cyril Spiers was the manager he later left and returned to Cardiff -
Senior Players six weeks holiday played 45 minutes. Press quote from the manger. "They were tired". What sort of a world do we live in?.

Red hot Canmeron Jerome says the headline. Same player whose goals dried up at Norwich, ? Was he too old. He has proved this was not the case. One must look at the system dictated by the coaching team which sees a succession of absentees in the vital positions in front of goal, Tip tap back or square a sin to go forward. The simple principle of the game is to score goals this seems to have been forgotten.

Ricardo I thought the Vrancic tackle on John Terry had a big bearing on the outcome of the match. Giving the big feller the sort of treatment he has dished out to others over the years slowed him down somewhat and kerbed his enthusiasm.

Attack is considered a form of defence, Every single goal kick by Gunn was met by the Brentford Defenders and immediately the opposition was again on the attack, Not once in the entire match did Olivera collect a Gunn clearance and most times he did not even try. His contribution to the team was very low. Come the substitution he was replaced by a player whose passed record was in many ways similar, Why in heavens name did the manager not throw on the new man who has been brought into the club to improve of goal tally,
-
Give him some credit yes he missed the penalty but did sprint to assist his defence on numerous occasions putting in more effort than we have seen in recent times
-
Nothing to loose drop Nelson and bring in Naismith he might jump at the opportunity and will give a much greater effort than we have seen in recent times from our so called striker.
-
It is noticeable that Nelson makes no attempt to collect high balls sent forward by his defence he is beaten every time without making any effort to get into the air, One wonders if he is hiding some physical condition maybe the same bodily disorder that took him to the dentist in Portugal.

Video presentation a vast improvement i follow delivers the goods. Chris Goreham commentary spot on with the play. Replayed major incidents. Panning in. Good streaming. Well worth an early morning 4-45 a.m. Eastern Australian Time made sweeter by two fine goals.

Very poor presentation unable to name players, no commentary, no closeups, no replays of incidents not good value at all. would have been better to have used the the audio system of old. -

Piscatorial Tractor Man, hobbies stirring up the Budgeries -
James Maddison how ironic. letting a talent like that skip away else where and scoring goals freehold. Entrusted with every corner and free kick that Aberdeen gets.We have 12 million pounds of unused dead wood drawing wages and two full internationals that cannot put away penalties.Few players have the combination of play maker ball skills plus a potent finish that Maddison processes.Hopefully we will soon see him back at Carrow Rd.

Is this the worst relegation?
hardley replied to Graham Paddons Beard's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
To have to rely on other clubs in 1947 and 48 to be re elected to retain our place in league football have finished twice on level points with the bottom team in the then lowest division Div 3. Today''s problems minuscule compared with those times. -
One game did it for us.......
hardley replied to Bradwell canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
90% of city fans knew at the outset of the season that the dire need was for a decent striker and a strong commanding centre back pairing, In spite of long waiting periods these needs were not fulfilled. We have suffered accordingly it must go back to tightly held purse strings for I can not believe that the problems were missed by the coaching staff -
COULD HE REPLACE BASSONG AT CENTRE BACK BRING IN WHITAKER AT RIGHT BACK. WORTH THE RISK I WOULD THINK. CAN NOT STAND ANOTHER NIGHTMARE FROM BASSONG.
-
The withdrawal of Brady was done for reasons which escape me. Was something akin to suicide was the effect it had. Whilst 20,000 plus could see what a hash Naismith was making by his performance, it somehow failed to register with the Norwich Coaching staff. Redmond on a sound idea Brady off disaster.

Journalist Melissa Rudd in her Norwich City Hollywood style article. Writes no one out side Norfolk can listen to the Radio Norfolk Norwich City Commentary. Someone advise her please that we subscribers via the Canary web page all over the world have been listening to it for years.
-
I was very friendly with Roy Waller considered him irreplaceable but along came Chris Goreham. Down under in Aussie land we get a live telecast of matches and 20 seconds or so before Canary Player Commentary and Chris Goreham Goal descriptions reach us we have already seen the action. His description brings a second wave of excitement and calls for a second catapulting out of the arm chair when the ball hits the net. None more sop than at Wembley last week.

Architects of our own downfall!
hardley replied to Derby Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Let us face up to the truth as individuals at different times some of our players have looked good but as a team we have failed to deliver the goods.Our build up in attacks has been far too slow and against other top teams fast raiding forwards our defence has been found wanting. One wonders what next season will bring apart from the obscene money should we make it through the play offs.
