Gingerpele 0 Posted January 29, 2008 9 pionts, 17 games, 51 pionts, if we win about 12 games, we could be there, just being hopefull, but i think relegation looks distant (i know were still only 5 pionts off)cumon city :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canary dreamer 0 Posted January 29, 2008 We''re also only 5 points from the drop zone, lets get to above 50 points then look at how high we can finish, above ipswich is always a bonus, which i would love to see this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
we8wba 0 Posted January 30, 2008 norwich 35pts the bloke said 12wins out of 17 = 36ptsgive you total around playoffs average and it will be lower this year around 70 mark i reckonbut you reckon you seriously win 12 out of 17 in this league, im not sure the top teams capable of that let alone norwich. no offence! the league is to tight, undeafted won like palace is possible but form such as what is required is highly very highly unlikely. then you may not even get inwhat happend to you guys by way? 5hrs ago half were moaning about the lack of transfers, now you world beaters (to the odd few) give roeder time, expectancy is pressure look at mccarthy for example, give roeder plenty time and comfort and look for push for next seasonby way good result tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaker 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Why ''here we go''?? ok play off''s are a very long shot but a 10 game unbeaten run looked a very long shot when Glenn took over. As far as i can see these last 3 seasons seem like groundhog day, pre season expectations are dashed by October then everyone comes on here ''right then lets get safe and build for next season'', and thats in bloody October so why not be ambitious, lets bloody go for it, THIS SEASON.

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 30, 2008 well whats wrong with a positive post, sorry if you all hate the club and think they cant win, go to the binner forum if your being like that, it is a possibility, a team does something like that almost every season, I''m not expecting a play-off place, but it could happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 30, 2008 [quote user="ricky knight"]here we go.[/quote]Yes, here we go indeed. Whether it happens or not Ricky, what gives you the right to ridicule Ginger Pele for hoping for a good end to the season?. I don''t see GP saying that the play offs are a certainty, but in the scheme of things i wouldn''t be surprised if Norwich or any other mid table team are there or thereabouts at the end of the season. One thing you can be sure is that places 3-6 will definitely be different at the end of the season, with perhaps 2 of those teams performance dipping in the second half of the season. I''ll stick my neck out, and reckon we''ll finish 6th ;). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone is on the same side and accusing people of being binners for being realistic is completely childish and unnecessary.All I''m trying to say is, every time we win a game its absolutely guaranteed that there will be about half a dozen threads about how we will make the playoffs.Every time we put in an average performance, people post we can never make the playoffs, and posters who believe we can are stupid.Enough with the playoffs!!!When we are about a game away from the playoffs, then lets start talking about it. Until then, its completely irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that to be ''realism''. Like it or not, changes have happened though, and would think that we have a far better chance of finishing strongly rather than ending up relegated.

We still lack class in many areas, too many loan signings, We still dont dominate matches enough, last night we got away with it, great stuff but it wont last forever, we are way, way, off the finished article and people are getting too excited over a run that was needed, and more, to avoid relegation, a position we should never have been in the first place i might add.

Nov 10th after losing 3-0 at Plymouth Norwich were marooned in 24th 5 points adrift from the rest of the league, 16 points behind piswich who were 6th and 17 behind you lot.Jan 29th we are 16th, 9 points off the bottom, 7 pooints behind piswich, 8 points behind you lot and 9 points off 6th place.We may run out of time but I would say we are definitely catching up... wouldn''t you?

ricky knight 0 Posted January 30, 2008 You all keep forgetting we should not be in this position in the first place, there has been neglect somewhere along the line, lets all be grateful we are up to 16th, wow i cant believe how good we are. If you check my posts i said that Roeder would do well despite the board not because of them and i stand by that, he is a good manager and is doing well so far but he needs serious backing, window shuts tomorrow and it aint forthcoming yet.
