Jerzy Krukowski 5 Posted November 26, 2005 Were superb today, got behind the team and watched an enjoyable match(apart from the first 10 mins) IMO it was a pretty goodperformance all round. Creativity in the final 3rd was lacking, but wecreated a good number of chances. Everyone was up for the fight but asa team played with a certain lack of confidence as would be expected. Iknow this sounds like Worthy, but the passing was good too. Save for acouple of slips in the 1st 10mins that cost us, and a lack of closingdown and battling early on, City looked a decent championship side thatshould be challenging for promotion.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted November 26, 2005 SPat, I''ll try not to make this sound like a loaded question but, how was team balance and solidity affected by the loss of Huckerby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Wizard 0 Posted November 27, 2005 Just listern to yourself SPat, Coventry, no win in how many games (10?) and where were they in the league?, and we go 2-0 down in ten minutes,and still couldn''t beat, like Millwall, an appalling side.You really need to wake up and smell the coffee friend!.

Jerzy Krukowski 5 Posted November 27, 2005 I didn''t go to get some kind of badge of honour, to have a good day andhopefully see a good result. The result could have been better, but wewere not rubbish apart from being asleep and slightly unfortunate forboth the first goalsl. I''m sorry Wiz, but I just don''t buy the completedoom and gloom that you dish out. We played some good attractive,passing football at times. There was still too much humping it uptowards Ashton; Thorne and Henderson looked tired in the second half,but I think the only thing really missing was confidence. We createdloads of chances and that is pretty much all a manager can expect fromhis team. A very significant aspect of the day too, was that only forone brief period did anyone sing an anti-Worthy song and it fizzled outvery quickly. Make of that what you will. In terms of balance when Hucks went off, it was probably slightlybetter. But we were chasing the game, Hughes went off too so tacticsinevitably changed. It may not be what some of you want to hear, but I thought we shouldand could have won and I will never ever go to a game and want us tolose. I think you should wake up and smell the coffee Wiz and your cronies,it''s a fine line between success and failure in football. There areclearly some deficiencies at the club, perhaps NW, too many journeymen,not good enough training maybe, but we will not go down playing likeyesterday and with that kind of performance are quite capable of makingthe playoffs IMO.

BedsCanary 0 Posted November 27, 2005 If the lino had a clear view of Wly''s header crossing the line then we would have won 3-2 and everyone would be saying what a great comeback it was and how we''re turning the corner.I was truly impressed with our second half performance yesterday and despite how bad the first 10 minutes were, I take comfort in watching the best 45 minutes Norwich City have played all season. Now all we need to do is carry on where we left off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted November 27, 2005 Make the play offs , Spat? As you say, "wake up and smell the coffee"! If the team makes the top half of the table with the current manager, it will have done well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerzy Krukowski 5 Posted November 28, 2005 If we play like we did for the last 80 mins of Cov in every match, I firmly believe we could and would make the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]My point is: this was against a team in deep do do''s SPat. Not Reading, Sheffield Utd or Wolves.....Coventry, no wins in 10 and 2nd from bottom.......and City still couldn''t win, yes?.Delia and Worthy love undemanding souls like you, they can do what they bloody well like and you''ll just clap away like demented seals!.Oh and King, whether I went or not is irrelevant, I didn''t by the way, as you well know!. Too much sense I guess, plus Yuletide expenses take precidence over arrogant Smithy/ Worthy errors!.[:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted November 28, 2005 I know the table doesn''t lie but it seems to me that on any given day there are no outstanding teams in this division, there have been only two consistent teams in this division and yet there are no easy games in this division.A draw at Coventry requires nothing more than a draw at Reading. Our performances at home against Reading and Leeds yielded only one point but were the two best I have seen from us with the exception of the finishing.In promotion terms an away draw is only really beneficial if you are winning all your home matches. In the premier a draw is a good result if you are looking to avoid relegation. The Championship is all about wins.In other aspects though saturdays result is something to build on, we have failed to build on results all season but I do feel this might now change.
