ncfc forever! 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Why could we not beat a league 2 team?At our standards we should be able to beat a team that are in league 2, bury had 53% pos and we had 47% and we took the best player on the pitch of at half time!!

(Chris Martin)[/quote]Are you seriously saying Chris Martin was the best player on the pitch yesterday? He was useless. Lazy, half-fit, overweight, heavy, clumsy, looked out of his depth and uninterested, and missed a chance that was gift-wrapped and tied with a nice red ribbon. He made me long for various other strikers to take his place including Chris Brown, Henrik Mortensen, Robert Rosario and even Darren Beckford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Largey 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Not sure he was the best player, i was suprised the Doc wasnt granted MOTM, i thought Dion looked a bit laid back yesterday. Sure, Martin was about and getting in good positions, but hell he shouldnt have missed that chance in the first minute. The reason we didnt beat them, we couldnt finish off the moves we were creating. Curo had 2/3 decent efforts, one horrible miss and a bicycle kick. Martin/Jarvis looked up for it but were lacking any killer touch, and without Russell in midfield we didnt look like threatening from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradley1 0 Posted January 6, 2008 The other reason you didnt win was that we scored a goal and played well ourselves. Dont get me wrong Norwich had chances and are a better team but credit to us for giving you a game. I dont think Norwich will enjoy visiting Gigg on a cold tuesday night so it should be interesting especially if we both draw someone big on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted January 6, 2008 I think Norwich will be favourites still but it is a game we do not particularly need. Heck, i guess it brightens up an evening which would be spent revising for A-Levels! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last thing we need''s a blood and thunder FA cup replay when we need to ensure Championship survival first. Hopefully we''ll (as in the winners will) draw Spurs at home and one of us will get a nice little pay day and some TV money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
