alex_ncfc 686 Posted December 30, 2008 He never had a chance.Roeder only gave him the one game, vs Plymouth, in that landmark match which made Roeder decide that our entire squad was sh*t and decided to fill it with loanees instead. We were all for it at the time...little did we know it''d carry on into this season too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC_Shaun 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Roeder decided to get rid of a player that we had brought for around 750K just months before due to one gamesz performance ... and then we wonder why we''re not in the greatest financial position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted December 30, 2008 Never looked likely to make it. He gave up far too easily.And how long do you give someone to settle in? We needed someone ready to play in this league. Bad signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that we had much.But moving on from Dave, why wasn''t Chris Brown given a fair go? Was he not also a casualty of the Plymouth game? ONE game under Roeder and that was his lot.

[H][/quote]I have to say I wasn''t for the appointment of Roeder, but I was impressed in the early stages with the changes he made, such as noticing the squad was ''poor'' and doing something about it - but I had no idea his ability to get new players in only went as far as kiddy loans. Ever since then it has all been downhill for him, whatever anyone says, he is a sh*t manager. Contacts? Contacts my arse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad signing.[/quote]I don''t know about the giving up too easily.If I remember (and it''s a little difficult recalling such a small sample) he was a bloody hard fighter in the home game where he played against the scum.

ONE game under Roeder and that was his lot.[/quote]Getting rid of Chris Brown was a mistake and a completely different kettle of fish to Dave S. The only justification for selling Brown would have been signing a good player (eg Tiny Taylor or another striker) but we didn''t which made his sale foolish.He was a decent player who worked bloody hard for Norwich City. Unfairly treated, no doubt about it.I always tried to stick up for Chris Brown but it was amazing how many people were labelling him "the worst player we''ve ever had" etc etc. I suppose he''s better off out of it.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Quality player in the less physical Leagues on the continent! If he had shown more willingness to get stuck in and got more games then he might of made it with us but not now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyster 0 Posted December 30, 2008 The main point you''re all missing in this thread is that Roeder got rid of two target-men and never replaced them.Unless you count the late & pretty hopeless arrivals of both Sibierski (who is a decent midfielder) & Cort.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Your right that Roedernowhere hasn''t replaced the targetmen he released but I was just giving my thoughts Strihavka who the original poster sugests would get us out of this mess! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
