foxile 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Hello there canary fans!We clash again soon and it will be an interesting one, a vital six-pointer at the foot of the table. I have to say i have been very impressed at your turn under Glenn Roeder, at the same time we''ve been a sinking ship [:)] However hopefully our fortunes will change as Holloway will not have to play a midfield consisting of Kenton, N''Gotty, J Chambers - all defenders and a striker in Iain Hume. It would appear he is starting to sort out the mess we were left with after our poor management in the summer regarding our action in the transfer market. He''s bought in Stevie Howard, i''m sure most teams in the Championship would take a player of his pedigree, there are question marks over the signing of Barry Hayles but we''ll see how it goes. Unfortunately we wern''t able to negotiate a deal to make the Marton Fulop loan deal a permanent transfer, he has been outstanding for us and is a very good keeper, but we have acted quick to sign Ben Alnwick from Spurs. Also Ollie has bought in two unknown Hungarian wingers (we''ve forgotten what a winger looks like here[:)]) but if they are as good as Buzsaky, Timar and Halmosi - two players Holloway signed from nowhere, we''ll be very pleased.As i said Roeder is doing a superb job with you, when linked with us previously, i have to say we were not impressed, however he is proving all the doubters wrong. You''ve made some good signings, in particular the lad Pattison, a player i would have liked to have seen at the Walkers. I don''t expect you to go down, you have decent home form and should finish in mid-table. How do you see the game finishing between us? I see you winning by a two or three goal margin.Where do you see Leicester finishing? Will we avoid relegation?Cheers, here''s to a relegation free season for us both.

hogesar 10,758 Posted January 8, 2008 Nice to hear from Foxile again!Looking as a neutral the Roeder turn around still is fantastic in comparison to how we were before he came.I can''t see a three goal margin, unless we sign two decent strikers before the match, and even then it''s unlikely. Cureton''s lacking in confidence and is missing too many. No one else is really chopping in with the goals too well. I can see it being a 2-1, or 1-0 to us, hopefully.I can''t see Leicester getting relegated either. There''s worse teams in my opinion, and in Holloway have a good manager imo.Well, It''ll be interesting =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted January 8, 2008 Evening, FoxileTo win by two goals, you''d need to score minus one, as we can only score one a game at the moment. However, someone''s due a two or three goal defeat, and though you seem nice, I wouldn''t complain if it was your boys who took the defeat. I went to uni in Leicester though so have mixed feelings - I saw them play a few times at Filbert Street and enjoyed the blood and thunder style of play they had at the time.

[<:o)][/quote]I think we (Leicester) will draw against you lot, the score being 1-1, Howard will open his scoring account who i also believe will be our best striker in years and will be set up by one of our Hungarian wingers. I think Leicester will manage to push for mid-table this season and i see greater things ahead under Ollie. I doubted Roeder''s managerial abilities and was personally glad we didn''t get him as manager at the beginning of the season when we was linked with him (After seeing how things developed under Allen i would of taken Roeder anyday). Now after seeing Norwich''s form drastically improve since Roeder took over and the players he is signing and players you are linked with seem very good for this level and i believe you will survive the drop easily because there are a lot of clubs worse than Leicester and Norwich in this division. I also think Norwich will finish about 14th this season and push for a play off place with us next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 9, 2008 im going for 1-1 aswell...we are struggling to score goals and with Shacks and marshall at the back are always likely to concede... Ian Holloways sides always play decent football and are hard to beat.. we hardly ever beat Plymouth! infact a draw would be a Cracking result for us!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jules 0 Posted January 9, 2008 2-1 to Norwich Curo to score the winner in the 70th minute - better be or my neighbours will give me hell! [;)]Jules from Leicester (Knighton) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foxile 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Cheers for the replies. It''s quite reassuring to hear that neutrals such as yourselves do not think we will go down. Hopefully it is even less likely with the new signings and Oakley hopefully arriving today. Just wondering how the stadium is looking now, is the hotel finished? No longer a building site in the corner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
