coops 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Why are we intent on playing Fotheringham when he constantly shows no ability? I can only think he talks a good game hence the reason he was made captain. Tonight he touched the ball a dozen times and although he scored I am basing my opinion on the season so far. He played 3 yards ahead of Doc, sitting far too deep and allowing the opposition to push us even further back. A fantasic clearance from a saints corner went all of 10 yards straight to their player who''s deflected shot went in. I suppose he will always play as he''s scottish and Gunn will want to look after his North of the boarder friends. Clingan has carried him long enough and his back must be so sore!!!!!

ZLF 335 Posted January 27, 2009 Third manager to pick him? He can be useful; and was not so bad today; and a million miles away from anyone like dewaard hughes or about 10 other recent failures - will ner top gerry hamiltion - my personal bigbear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can''t pass, tackle, run, cross, shoot (except for last night) and shows no awareness and is certainly no captain. Apart from that though, he''s quite good...

Block E Buh 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Fozzy is not as bad as Hughes and he did score last night but he did nothing else! He just runs alongside the ball, no tackles and scared to get involved!

ZLF 335 Posted January 28, 2009 I did not say he was good - just a million miles from being the worst midfielder ever. Worst and ever is a huge exaggeration. And his performance last night was no worse than clingans.Neither player is good enough for what we need in central midfield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary7 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Would the bosss not be better off playing russell in midfield in place of fotheringham And playing 2 strikers upfront? wtf is going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barmyyarmy 0 Posted January 28, 2009 [quote user="Canary7"]Would the bosss not be better off playing russell in midfield in place of fotheringham And playing 2 strikers upfront? wtf is going on?[/quote]the fact that we haven''t got a decent center forward who can hold the ball up, russel is the closest thing to that. Carl cort, is unable to play the full 90 minutes. Lupoli and cureton up front, not very much happening there. That is why russel is playing upfront, and not in midfield. And to be honest, at this moment of time i rate fotherington higher than russel in center of midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Webbo118 0 Posted January 28, 2009 What is it with Norwich supporters? They always have to have a scapegoat - a player to moan at and criticise when things don''t go to plan. Last season it was Ginger Pele. This season it is Fozzy. Anyone in the frame yet for next season? Get off the bandwagon, stop acting like sheep and form your own opinions.

Syteanric 1 Posted January 28, 2009 Did Fozzy ost us today? because i seem to remember he scored which is far more than the light weight Clingan actually did yet he got MOTM... i can only imagine Sammys mum was picking the man of the match last night.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted January 28, 2009 I thought he had a decent game tonight, bad clearance that led to their first goal though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted January 28, 2009 He was at fault for their first goal with that pathetic performance and then he proceeded to shout at the rest of the team and try and blame them for it.He has been better in the last couple of games but is not good enough and is too similar to Clingan for them to work as a partnership. Clingan is better therefore Fozzy should make way. Thankfully he is now suspended for a game so hopefully someone else will come in and make that place their own.

Dean Coneys boots 1,531 Posted January 28, 2009 Jarrett it is and by a country mile. He looked like a small boy amongst men, hoepelessly lightweight and contributed less than the people in the stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louis 0 Posted January 28, 2009 For me, Des Hamilton claims the award for our worst ever midfielder. He was appalling, and summed up the quality of most of the players that Hamilton brought to the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as our club is being run by a bunch of turds who cant seem to grasp basic football principles it will sadly never happen. By no fault of their own Russell and Fotheringham are costing us points each and every time the play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyster 0 Posted January 28, 2009 There''s absolutely no sense in comparing him with former players, Fotheringham is shite and needs to be dropped and shipped out at the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
