InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted February 12, 2008 but we8wba is right. Norwich are not going to get into the play-offs this season. Too many one one draws! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norwich R Us 59 Posted February 12, 2008 Not at all. Look at the top 6... bristol, charlton and ipswich all have 9 draws (same as us) and WBA have 11.The draws are not prohibiting us, it''s the 12 losses that are our majorthorn-in-the-side (and we can thank Grant/Duffy for the majority ofthose!)Sadly we are just gonna have to live with that. We have made up masses of ground under roeder but it really is going totake an even greater run to cement us in the top 6 (miracle is too smalla word!) so let''s all remain level headed and not start gettingdownbeat over draws. Remember where we''ve risen from people - dead and buriedto 13 games unbeaten in a matter of months.I for one am proud to be a Norwich City fan right now!OTBC.

we8wba 0 Posted February 13, 2008 quite simply norwich need more goals you cant keep relying on 1-0 thats what we did now look at us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DONT REMEMBER YOUR TENURE AS ENGLAND MANAGER 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Have to agree with you Norwich ''r'' us - Without Roeder and Clarke, we would be cast adrift at the bottom. Mid table will do me fine this season as I really thought back in those dark September and October days that we were League One all the way. What I have witnessed this season will long stay with me, 13 match unbeaten run is in the words of David Coleman ''quite remarkable''However though the board redeemed themselves with the fine appointment of Glen Roeder, they still have a long way to convince me of their long term ambitions. They simply have to back Mr Roeder with sufficient funds to build a young team capable of stirring things up. I am not not talking millions and millions but something that enables Mr Roeder to fulfill his vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inch High aka Inchy.. 417 Posted February 13, 2008 [quote user="we8wba"]quite simply norwich need more goals you cant keep relying on 1-0 thats what we did now look at us [/quote]That statement doesn''t make sense. 1-0 = 3pts. Correct me if i''m wrong.It''s the 1-1 etc that needs to be looked at,although they are not a patch on how bad our season started. It''s the start we got that has crippled our points tally.

Robert N. LiM 6,277 Posted February 13, 2008 I think the reason we8wba annoys so many people is that he''s right quite a lot of the time. It''s difficult to see us scoring enough goals to win the games we need to reach the top six. But the fact we''re even discussing it is nothing short of a miracle. When Roeder took over, I hoped we might secure safety by winning at Portman road at the start of April. Now it looks as though we might be past that 50-point mark by the end of February. Quite extraordinary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Considering where we were nobody can complain. We were bottom of the league and adrift by about 4/5 points (cant remember exactly) and so for people to complain that we arent near the play-offs is ludicrous! We would get battered if hypothetically speaking we do go up so I for one will take 13th and run with it, thank you vert much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted February 13, 2008 on the basis of tonight - our squad looks to small and weak - shax did well - despite getting a crack on the head - and chedders played despite being sent home unwell during the day!!! only martin there as back-up???also - the 4 loanees we got during jan don''t look upto a play off challenge. gibbs looks like a boy - and wasn''t bates a regular under mclaren until boro were close to bottom 3 and had a fan chuck his season ticket at the dugout??? promise, but to be fair to these boys, they need to slot in perfectly first time to keep our challenge going, and thats asking alot. the bubble burst for me tonight - and a dose of realism crept back in - but the games not over yet. if we make top 6 - it will be one hellva acheivment.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted February 13, 2008 I have to admit, although a nice pipe dream, I don''t think our beloved Canaries will reach the PO''s. I am just grateful to be sitting where we are in the table rather than where we were not so many weeks ago, at the bottom of the table staring relegation in the face.If we don''t reach the PO''s it''s not the end of the world. God yes, I, as much as most NC fans would relish the thought of the PO''s again, but probably not this season. Who knows what next season will bring under GR and his team? Isn''t it nice to feel positive about NCFC once again? You are damn right [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

we8wba 0 Posted February 13, 2008 my point is norwich win a vast majority of there games lately 1-0all it needs is the opposition to score and the best you can really hopeful is 1-1 draw wolves won several games 1-0, then all sudden the teams who missed sitters vs us or hit post and stayed out were going in. that bit luck can change in instant. i mean cheds goal vs cardiff was world class, but in 2months time when luck not running with you that shot prob hit the bar and stay out. saints penalty would been converted etc...norwich can get in playoffs with 1-0''s im not doubting that, its more wether they keep out oppoisition the other end for 13-15games if you can only score one goal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyhammerAndy 0 Posted February 13, 2008 You should try to agree a loan spell with him, before other clubs do. Seen him play, star of the future - "Freddie Sears hit a hat-trick and made the other goal as West Ham United continued their fine form at Under-18 level at home against Norwich City.The 18-year-old striker is in prolific form for Tony Carr''s Academy side and his treble strike, and assist for Anthony Edgar, capped a tremendous week. On Tuesday he returned to the England Under-19 fold and cemented his place in the squad ahead of some vital European U19 Championship qualifiers in May with a superb substitute display in a 2-0 friendly win against Croatia."

O.T.B.C 1 Posted February 13, 2008 I might get a bit of backlash here, but I have decided that I''m happy if we don''t get to the play-offs, we will have to much expectations for next season if we get to the play-offs and lose. Hell, if we get there, I won''t not be cheering, but realistically we ain''t going to get there now. Oh sod, lets get there, come on Norwich. I''m all confused and tired, I hate comeing back form football at stupid O clock, going to work and coming home. Well thats my excuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
