Chunky Norwich 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Another good one here: http://football365.com/story/0,17033,8742_4782988,00.htmlInteresting to read the thoughts about Lita and the summary of Norwich is probably one of the most succinct I''ve read in a while.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Another great article. From one struggling former Premier League club to another. Norwich are now involved in a genuine relegation scrap and without the goals of Leroy Lita, it is difficult to see them pulling away from the bottom end of the table any time soon. Glenn Roeder inspires little faith and his reliance on loan signings, many of whom have made little significant impact, seems highly short sighted. Finances are a problem for him, but even the most cash strapped sides normally manage to bring in cheap signings and Bosmans in the summer. It cannot be good for dressing room morale, particularly in a struggling team, to have most of the line-up comprised of players who don''t belong to the club and are unlikely to remain on a long term basis. Equally, loaning out Jamie Cureton at a time when he has been the only forward actually owned by Norwich for much of the season was a baffling decision. Pinning hopes on Carl Cort, without a league goal since March 2006 and in semi-retirement with Marbella a few months ago would seem to be clutching at straws.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted January 13, 2009 It''s just so tragic, and I wish there were answers and solutions to all the questions fans had. Sadly there are no fast answers to any of our questions.We can all surely see what''s happening at the club? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of them have the sense to realise it, take a back seat and appoint people who know what they''re doing. That could still happen here, but I don''t think it will.
