PETER GRANTS FIRST SEASON IN CHARGE AT NORWICH

[BRAVEHEART 0]

When you look at Peter Grants first season here at Norwich he''s had some ups and downs in terms of results. He''s made his own signings Chris Brown, Simon Lappin, Mark Fotheringham, Luke Chadwick. This is what I think of his signing

• Lappin            - good
• Fotheringham - uncertain
• Chadwick        - uncertain
• Brown            - uncertain

overall - 1 out of 4 signings have been good but the other 4 I think can get better with time.

This is what I think of his loans

• Marshall - good maybe sign him as a permanent, the fact that he comes from Celtic to me says alot so we should try and sign him
• Warner  - average

overall 2 out of 2 of his loans have been fairly good

But more importantly is where we are in the Championship table we are 15th and that is very disappointing and a team such as Norwich should be at least in the top half and trying to get into the play-offs, but having said that I''m willing to let Grant off due to the fact that he hasn''t had a full season in charge at Norwich and I think he will need 2 more seasons just to see how he does. He needs time so be paitient. In terms of results could of done better but certain games he just got it wrong. here''s a review of Norwich City FC and Peter Grant in terms of results:

"1 out of 4 signings have been good but the other 4 I think can get better with time"

He hasnt had one FULL season yet. I think the best judge is pre season, what signings he has made, what tactical changes, and see how we go from there. There is a cart load of horse poo at this club that he has to get rid of (Thorne, MLJ, McVeigh, Henderson, Gallacher, maybe Croft or else why would he have got Chadwick).

When we get those off the wage bill, and bring new players in, hopefully we will have a better idea. I still have massive doubts over Chris Brown though, Lappin + Fozzy havent exactly sparkled throughout, and Warners not that good, so the jury is out for me in terms of GRants judgement of players.

Would love to see some proper quality brought in here , but it depends on how much is going to be released for this. One thing is for sure, there will definitely be some changes over the summer.
