Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 29, 2008 This Roeder inspired team have genuine guts and how badly have I wanted to see this in a Norwich team for ages.They have forgotten how to lose and tonight went to St. Marys and pulled off a MASSIVE result.Why massive? Because it consolodates all those draws and because we have Preston at home next and should we beat them we stop being relegation fighters and begin to be mid-table looking up.Look at the table. There is genuinely NO outstanding or consistent side and decent teams who had poor first halves of the season like QPR, Preston and ourselves are now beating the teams above them. It is going to be very, very tight with only a few points between ultimate success and failure.Who knows what may yet happen in the remaining transfer window too.This is a big night, come on everyone, it''s time to have faith, hope and aspiration.

Tumbleweed 106 Posted January 29, 2008 Agree with you. Huge boost to confidence, bit of luck involved this evening by the sounds of it but we haven''t had much of that for a while. Preston will be tougher than you think but win that and we can almost start looking forward with some confidence rather than trepidation. Well done lads, great win at a tough place on a Tuesday evening.!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

methcanary 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Excellent result, sounded like a good solid hard working performance, both Shacks and Doc got good comments from Radio Norfolk, and how great to hear that Roeder puts Hucks on with 20mins to go when we are one up instead of having 10 players sitting in our own penalty area. Brilliant, it just makes you smile!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 0 Posted January 29, 2008 I''ve just listened to it on Radio Solent.How we won that I have no idea. They hit the wood 3 times and missed a penalty.Hah!We had one shot of note and Ched buried it.Good battling, but Saints will be wondering how they lost just as much as I''m wondering how we won.Great stuff!

How do you quantify that in transfer fees? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted January 29, 2008 Our form in the last 10 games : Won 5 Drawn 5 Lost 0 Goals For 12, Goals Against 6.To those of us who think we should be miserable - Can we start to enjoy being Norwich fans again now ?Please ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted January 29, 2008 The stats do suggest otherwise, messiah - possession 56:44 in our favour, shots on target 8:3 in our favour. After the Leicester game we deserve the element of fortune that was in the result; that''s 26pts in the last 13 games, a fantastic run by any measure.

Tumbleweed 106 Posted January 29, 2008 One more thing -would we have won tonight had we just had to pop down there for the Cup four days ago? Maybe that Bury game was a blessing in disguise after all.........no way I''d trade these points for a 5th round spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Road to Nowhere 0 Posted January 30, 2008 I went to St.Marys last night (for the fourth time in recent years) and finally saw Norwich get all three points. Admittedly we rode our luck more than once and if Southampton had better strikers we would have lost. However, the way the team played for each other, and Roeder, sticking together and grinding out the result was unbelievable. It is something we haven''t seen from Norwich in years. If we keep this mentality then we will not get relegated and should be looking forward to next year. Everyone had a solid game but special mention should go to Marshall, Shackell and Doherty who were excellent all evening. At one point towards the end it felt like the promtion season.Thanks for restoring the pride Glenn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done the boys.Let''s hope Glenn''s promises of some more bodies by Thursday come true. Our first XI looks pretty good now, but the wheels would come off pretty quickly if we had a couple of injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
