I blame Delia Smith and her "squeekies"!

In Chases day we would have got 3 points from a postponed match!

Exactly what I was going to say Alex...

We wouldn''t of got anything at Burnley if the game had gone ahead...  a postponement was the best result we could of hoped today.

Give it another couple of weeks and Barnsley & Co will be within striking distance of us!!!

laughing matter this is not.  Relegation is a distinct possibility since the only player we had who was scoring goals is now gone for most of the remainder of the season.

Really really worrying. The bottom three are quite capable of winning games and we will quickly be dragged into the relegation zone unless we start winning and keep winning! What a truly sad state of affairs!

All hope is not lost.....we might get 3 points for speeding on the way back!

and the other 16 teams above us arent going to pick up any points, at all between them.. thus allowing us to waltz into the the playoffs unchallenged.. Sure it could be just 7 points.. but u have to remmeber that the other teams WILL pick up points.. we are 17th ffs.. no one this low gets into the playoffs. its the teams that are consistently top 6, top 8 all season that will do it..

Its good to see people are optimistic... makes me smile... but the playoffs wont happen will they

This is what i''ve said all along, Jas. It''s all well and good for people to come on and say "let''s be positive, 10 points and we''re in the playoffs", "7 points off" etc etc. But by the time we have GOT those points, the other teams above will have picked up points too and the reality is we would still be around mid table!

Every week on Canary Call Neil Adams says no way will Norwich be relegated this season. I remember him saying that when we were last in the Premiership .............

and currently 11 days off the end of the transfer window.

Everyone is aware that Earnie is now out longer-term, and i trust the manager has emphasised to the Board the full consequences of failing to replace (Earnie), as the cost of a half-decent striker will still be less for the club than the cost of relegation. Come on, Speculate to accumulate etc etc.

But we didn''t have a game today so it would have been impossible to do anything to dispell the fears of relegation. For sure it isn''t a laughing matter CJF but some of the reaction on here just lately certainly is.

We are NOW 12 points off the playoffs and 5 points off relegation, which would be the more likely?, hmm?, hard one that!.

[/quote] My thoughts exactly. As I put in another thread, I believe that despite making three signings, we are far worse off now then when the transfer window opened. Replacing Earnie with a proven goalscorer is a must just to maintain our form from before the window and that doesn''t adress the problems with midfield and defence. I hope it''s going to be a busy 10 days - I have the feeling it won''t be as busy as we would like it to be though!!
