We played into their hands that game giving their wingers all the space they needed. No one got close to Winks either. It will be no different in the play-offs you would imagine.

If Leicester beat us in the play-offs with players they couldn't afford I won't give a sh1t what points deduction they get. They'll also get £150m TV money, we'll probably need to sell our best players. But as long as Ipswich don't go up...

And a loan to Celtic. Don't think he or is agent hasn’t made a bit of money out of that. Just wish NCFC had been stronger on this.

Looking like Leicester in the play-offs then!

As far as I'm concerned Leicester should have had a points deduction for this season. Deserve all they get, especially if it's nothing.

Welch, Aboh, Lima and Montoia missing from U21s tonight and Rowe not starting for them either. So I guess he'll be on the bench.

Remarkable with just 4 or 5 games to go that the only positions that look half certain are 4th and 5th and even they could change if we and/or Southampton win all our remaining games! We have been hugely unfortunate with injuries. It's been a while since we've had a fully fit squad to choose from and it isn't going to happen for the rest of this season. With the state of the league this season It's pretty shameful Leeds and Leicester with their EPL ready squads are still faffing around.

Not just iFollow but club streaming services too, so what will Canaries TV do now? I can't pretend to be outraged as I use illegal streams and haven't paid a cent to NCFC even if coverage ia available.

These are transactions rather than effective date of the transfer from which they relate. So any team who has been in the EPL will have higher fees, assuming of course they are also paid in instalments like transfer fees usually are.

Pretty much picks itself really. We could have Rowe and Sargent on the bench but the problem is that midfield will need to run itself into the ground.

For me there's no way we would have started the season with the threadbare squad we have now. Yes injuries are playing part but that was always going to be the case for any team in the league and you must have a few in reserve So why are we ending the season on that basis? At the AGM follow up interviews I thought I heard Attanasio say Knapper had submitted a list of requirements and they would then discuss the capital required. I doubt Knapper's requirements were to make the squad smaller? Something has gone on behind the scenes it would seem as it appears a nonsensical approach. I'm really not convinced powder is being kept dry for a host of changes next season, but we shall see. If we don't get promoted, which we won't if Sargent is crocked, what with players likely to leave and/or out of contract, that's almost a whole new starting XI.

Wagner bought into it because he was probably given assurance that SVH was more than an able replacement for Idah. He isn’t and Wagner is clearly p1ssed about it. It looks as though the recruitment team have totally messed up though and based their opinion of him on his goal scoring in Holland rather than his relative failure at a higher level in Italy. I can't believe it's pure fitness either. He's been here 3 months, he should be able to play for 20 mins. If it's down to athleticism and mobility, he must be pretty appalling in training if aged Barnes gets more pitch time.

I'll admit I don't like the Hanley / Gibbo combo but that's irrelevant. I haven't watched the video yet but it's not nice for a player's career or aspirations to be finished or constrained by injury. Hopefully he has the chance to make another go of it, but achilles is a highly inconvenient injury for a CB as it can restrict jumping. Hanley at his best is an excellent CB - deceptively quick and reads the game very well. Let's also not forget that awesome assist for Klose's equaliser against you know who.

The U21s play Friday night at home to West Ham so we'll be able to tell the bench from that...

Presumably Rowe will be on the bench? In the interview with the Pinkun Wagner says Sargent was fitness related. Around 5:20... Just to add the decision to send Idah out on loan is looking more and more ridiculous, isn't it Knapper.

Scum blowing a bit now. The defeat to us has got in their heads.

Excellent stuff. Think that's Middlesbrough out of it. Just Hull, Coventry and Preston to go.

Looking at the scores I'm not sure Bristol City and Swansea will be that easy.

Yeah need a draw here, otherwise Hull are within 4 pts of us with a game in hand. Middlesbrough musn't lose this otherwise their season is pretty much over.

Leeds are falling apart again. Southampton have 2 games in hand on them and play them last game of the season. Don't rule Leeds slipping to 4th. Can't say for sure any of the top 6 are sorted. Possibly WBA in 5th.

Well if we fail to get promoted it will be an interesting summer if we're going to part company with everyone who wants to leave. Idah should have been told you under contract sunshine and paid handsomely for it, now do your fcukin job you're not moving mid-season.

The FA Cup tie at Liverpool would have earned a fair old chunk as well, and the club wouldn't have factored that in at the beginning of the season.

Yeah that's going down a storm. Some people liked it though...

To be fair Wagner isn't happy about having a thin squad and is clearly making a point with not playing SVH under any circumstances and probably also by taking Sarge off. Running the squad down to these sort of levels is really quite concerning and you have to worry who we'll have left should we fail to get promotion.

That's cloud cuckoo land though. The reality is we need EPL football for the money. Conceding goals from set pieces is damned annoying. It's even more annoying when you take one of your taller players off and leave 2 of theirs unmarked at the back stick.
