Hoofball

If memory serves, one of the gripes last season was that Norwich City played too much ''nice'', attractive football and were a soft touch.  Now we''re showing signs of grinding out results, by whatever means necessary, people are still moaning. 

I am unable to vouch for the fact that the style of football currently on offer really is as bad as you say.  So poisonous was the atmosphere at Hull that, for the first time in almost 40 years, I left the stand before the end and went to watch the last ten minutes on TV in the refreshment area.  I haven''t been back since. The spectacle of some of our fans willing their own team to lose makes me feel sick with shame.

grinding out results mystic, not really ground many out this season have we?? we have ground out some results against poor sides while getting well and truely beaton by the top 8 sides.

I can''t imagine people like Paul McVeigh Darren Huckerby, Rob Earnshaw, Yousseff Safri, JJ2 and the like are best played grinding out results and hoofing the ball downfield.  I am not sure we played too much football last season neither, we barely registered as present in many matches.

grinding out results is for away trips and home matches against the best the division has to offer, and as the for bottom 10 clubs any team chasing promotion he should be aiming to turn up and Carrow Road and smash to pieces. we have the players to destroy teams and its not showing, look at Stoke on paper we have the power to knock them into touch 3 fields over, yet we decided to ''grind out a result'' whats the point?, too many side have worked us out this season and it shows. Hoofball is great for Wimbledon but its not what were used to at Carrow Road and shouldnt be expected unless were 0-1 in the last 5mins. we have the players to pass the ball but the old chip and chase seems to be the only plan, and concidering most sides boost one/two 6ft+ CB when we have Earny its a field day. Hoofball has its place, firmly in the Dons top pocket.
