A one man team ?

[sheded 0]

I know this will  result  in  flak  , and name calling .... but I`ll press on regardless !! 

The teams performances  DID  dip dramatically   when Hucks  dropped out injured , this also includes the match  against Coventry  , where  Hucks was carrying  the injury .   

Whichever way you cut it , the fact remains ,  that a Huckless team  , is a team with its heart removed !    

As for the Nigel pogrom  now in progress  , whatever happened to Hunter  ?   was he not  mooted as  the key facter in the revival   of  the teams  fortunes , prior to Hucks injury ?  

There IS a severe lack of character  in the team  !    I wont pinpoint  the chief culprits  , they know who they are !    I`m talking about part-timers  ,  the players  who don`t give it 100%   match after match .....   who turn it on  as , and when , THEY feel like it !     they should be ashamed to draw their wages  ,   although the management  has to  carry the can  when it goes tits up ,  the fact remains  that its the TEAM  who lose matches !   for crissake they are grown men  ,  they KNOW whats required of them   , yesterday  , some of them played like they had been clubbing it  into the small hours !   .....   a demoralised rabble   , Plymouth   scented  the fear , and   were all over us   .... not a pretty sight [:(]

I tend to agree Sheded.

Can you think of a good reason why they haven''t offered Hucks another contract?  I can''t.  It tells us all we need to know about the people who run our club.

I''ve been a City fan since ''59.  We''ll never be Liverpool or Man U, but one thing we''ve always done is punch above our weight.  We''ve never settled for the comfort zone and we''re not going to start now.

a new manager might press for a new contract, or he might deem hucks surplus to requirements, who knows. Suffice to say i dont think hucks would sign a new deal, i have a feeling he is calling it a day in May.

 the Club should address the issue, whatever it may be, If hucks is retiring then lets have an announcement, if Hucks no longer features in NCFc''s plans lets hear it, if a new contract is forthcoming then get on with it before he does a Bosman!

i''m not so sure, we should have enough talent in our team to pick up pointsin Huckerby''s absence. Maybe it is the mentality of the rest of the team that is the problem?

The great Hucks has a couple of seasons left in him yet at least! The fact that he hasnt been offered a contract is a disgrace!!!!!

Yet more short comings from an inept manager!

I agree Snakepit, it says it all about the club''s level of ambition.

Point of information though.  The Norwich manager (whoever he happens to be) has no involvement in contract negotiations.  He just identifies who he wants. Neil D said so last week when he was explaining why City are in the clear regarding bungs. 

That reminds me, Steve Howard scored the winner for Derby yesterday - 4 in 4 games now.

Not quite - as we''d be in the same position without Earnie too.

No Hucks = No Hope.

Without Hucks we would not have been promoted 2 years ago either.

Due to the boards incompetence and and total lack of ambition in the transfer market we are reliant on 2 players to make the difference and if this goes on, we''ll have neither for next season.

Doncaster & co can whinge all they like about over-priced players but we happily got over the odds for Ashton, Green & McKenzie.

One year in the premiership, 2 years of parachute payments and a windfall from the above sales and we should be grateful for Dublin.

Prudence with ambition my backside. We have no ambition other than to be a medicocre Championship side.

The fans have been taken for a ride. In hope and expectation we splash out on season tickets and wait for the signings to come......and wait ....and wait.....

If the board have no faith in Worthy they should sack him now not just dither while another season peters out into another disappointment.

I think it''s more a case of the 451/433 system doesn''t work as well without Hucks in the team because McVeigh is a completely different type of player.

Not that I was a great fan of the 451/433 system. Our passing improved because there were more men in the middle of the pitch, hence more options of shorter passes for our ''keeper and back four. However, better passing seems to have come at the expense of goal-scoring opportunities.

Hope your right Mystic !   ,   about the  punching above our weight bit  ,   it`ll be a very worried board right now .....   and , despite  the pundits  saying  they have no ambition , I just can`t believe   they actually  do think this   !  the prem means  maximum gates  ,  revenue from the cable companies ,  a big pile of dosh  from the FA  ,  tv coverage ,  advertising interests ,   does  anyone REALLY think  that the board want to pass all that up ?  

As for Hucks contract   , your guess is as good as mine   !    it just might be that he`s been offered a new contract  , but he`s wanting  to wait to the seasons end ... see how  he feels about it then ?    [;)]
