Good shout - a ‘New Striker’ thread would be preferable 👍🏻

I’d be happy with that. i thought Hernandez was poor on Mon, personally I’d like to see Rhodes come in for him and put Steipermann on the left side....prob not the game to experiment though 😂

Not much love for Shane then... 😳 Michael Starr - We definitely need another striker (unless the eternal promise that is Nelson Oliveira comes back into the fold...!) hence the thread - apologies if it is not generic enough for you 🤓

I wouldn’t describe him as profligate - I base this on: a) Southampton don’t exactly carve out a huge amount of chances every game b) Long hasn’t played full games for them (if I could be bothered I’d look at how many times he’d come on for 10 mins or less in this barren spell) c) From what I’ve seen of Southampton / Long (not a huge amount) I don’t recall him missing copious guilt edge chances I don’t disagree that his goal scoring record is poor, however, he provides so much more than just goals imo. That said I didn’t realise he was 32...

He's out of contract at the end of the next season - does anyone agree that he’d be a good addition for City at the right price this summer? I’ve always always rated him...mainly due to his brilliant attitude and work rate. He certainly doesn’t score nearly enough goals but he must be a pain in the ar$e to play against and creates space for others, decent in the air, hold up play etc. I think he’d be a great foil for Pukki...although he doesn’t exactly fit into the system Farke likes. Thoughts? https://www.teamtalk.com/news/shane-long-wont-go-knocking-for-a-new-southampton-contract

So glad you cleared that up.... 😴😴😴

I loved how jammy that goal was...I also remember his interview after he scored a worldy at CR ‘I thought I’d do a Yaya’ What a guy

I’m glad my elevated stress levels are shared by fellow fans. Everyone keeps telling me ‘You’re as good as up’...I won’t be able to relax until it’s mathematically impossible for us to be caught ⚠️

I lived in Nottingham for a couple of years - much like Ipsh*t their fans still harp on about being the champions of Europe...It doesn’t seem to matter to them that it was 30 odd years ago and they’re sh*t now 😂

Although I’m by no means proud of it...I swear A LOT when watching Norwich. I think it is part and parcel of watching football to be honest. I always remember going to my first game at about 10 years old and hearing ‘The referee’s a w**ker’...I don’t think it’s had a overly detrimental impact on my life

He should have sent off the dirty Scummer. Talking of dirty scammers I see Mings got sent off again last night ✊🏻

SR clearly never watched Gary Doherty or Andy Hughes in a Norwich shirt 😂😂

Really? Ha-ha! Tbf he was neat and tidy...It was just his final ball and corners that drove me mad. Not as mad as Tony Gale’s tedious commentary mind 🙈

Pritchard was very good at Brentford... I thought he was decent at Norwich too. He’s technically gifted and creative. I agree that Maddison had a much better career in yellow and green; but I think to say Pritchard is rubbish due to his season in a dire Huddersfield side is ridiculous.

IMO McLean was our worst performer tonight...I lost count of the number of sh*t crosses he attempted and his corners were woeful

I might get shot down for this...but I’d take Andy Carroll on a pay as you play basis without hesitation. If (massive if) could stay fit he would be a great Plan B option for NCFC in the prem.

Looks to be available for loan...would surely fit the bill for a short term deal....close to the game for sat and he would understand AN :) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2928972/Birmingham-Middlesbrough-looking-Graham-Dorrans-loan-West-Bromwich-Albion.html

1. Neil Lennon 2. Nigel Clough 3. Alex Ferguson

One of the main reasons Derby are where they are today is because of the work he did there. They were in massive debt so his job was mainly concerned with cutting the wage bill and maintaining their status in the ccc.....both of which he achieved. Decent cup manager too

NIGEL CLOUGH.....a passionate winner

Where in Notts are you from Character Forming??

I am after one too...I live in Nottingham so if anyone has a spare ticket I would be happy to meet them at the ground and buy it off them. I would be willing to pay 17p above face value :)

Allardyce is a nob...west ham are probably the worst team I''ve seen city play all season (them or stoke) which is why this result was so painful.....I''ve just been comfort eating bourbons!!!!!

Unfortuntely it looks like Hughton is here to stay....everyone keeps saying ''he''s got one more game''....but unless we REALLY capitulate against Spurs I cannot see him leaving....which could result in relegation

We cannot lay the blame solely on Hughton''s door...s**t finishing also contributed. That said taking off Redmond, who was probably the best player on this pitch, was criminal....almost worthy of getting sacked for IMO. Snodders was w**k tonight but still stayed on for the full 90mins....ANGRYYYYYYY!!!
