BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted September 2, 2007 At 1st September last season we had 10 points from 5 league games (2 pts per match), had won 2 Carling Cup ties, and according to The Pink''Un...............Norwich City put down a marker to the rest of the Coca-Cola Championship as they tore ten-man Barnsley to shreds at Carrow Road.Norwich City were able to name an unchanged starting 11 for the fifth consecutive league gameAfter a further 4 league games that produced 1 point the famous ultimatum was issued.One more match and Worthington was gone. Kaput. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooOooooooooooooooooooooooooAt 1st September this season we have 4 points from 4 league games (2 pts per match), have won 2 Carling Cup ties, and........We have a serious injury crisisThe only 2 common starters in the 5th league match last year and the 4th match this year were the defenders Doherty and Drury. Thus this is very much Grant''s team. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooOoooooooooooooooooooooooooThe next 6 matches will be decisive in Peter Grants'' managerial career with our club, one suspects.Will he be given the dreaded vote of confidence, perhaps an ultimatum - or will he respond to the challenge and secure his position for the time-being?All one can really say is that ''we live in interesting times''I, for one, wish him good luck if only for his passion. But I have serious doubts that he is the right man to lead us into a successful future.In many ways I suspect that the writing is on the wall - especially given his failure to address our central defensive weakness and our absence of creativity in midfield. It is well-established that weakness in the spine is fatal to prospects for success.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted September 2, 2007 So 5 more matches you reckon KC.I wonder what will happen on 3rd October if things still look ropey?Does the club have a Plan B if Peter does not work out, or will we totter into a crisis?We live in interesting times.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
