Erik the Viking 0 Posted February 3, 2009 I can only echo everyone else''s sentiments!, a great result and unexpected before kick off hopefully we can build on this and carry on producing results of this ilk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Kathy, I think you have hit the nail on the head. Its not new manager syndrome in my eyes, its the fact that Gunn and the team have allowed the players to play with out fear, I reckon that they were scared of making a mistake under GR and now that Gunn is here, he has told them to keep trying and don''t be afraid to play.I applaud that, i would rather see some tricks and attempts at goal than seeing the players fear in there eyes.

It does seem that Roeder''s regime was quite harsh, and there must have been an element of fear in their play. Gunn has released this, the players are starting to show what they are capable of and starting an unbeaten run can only help their confidence. I don''t think it is "new manager syndrome", it is far more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted February 3, 2009 I don''t expect anyone to agree, but I feel rather sorry for Roeder. He was trying to build a decent footballing side on no money, but I feel he was unlucky with injuries & the odd result going against him; unfortunately his essential nervousness & lack of self-belief then came to the fore & communicated itself to the players ....... everyone was terrified of making mistakes, so everything went down in a vicious spiral ......I think Bryan has a lot more self assurance & belief. This could count for more than anything in a relegation scrap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted February 3, 2009 As has already been hinted at, I think the most pleasing thing about this result was that we would have so easily capitulated under the previous regime but didn''t. I admit I left the room when the radio said 1-0 to Wolves and returned to be pleasantly surprised we''d gone 1-1. Then 2-1! Then even when we were 3-2 down, we show grit and determination to come back.I was extremely underawed by Gunn''s appointment but I am delighted the players are playing with belief and pride again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted February 3, 2009 There cannot be a true Norwich fan who isn''t chuffed tonight.Funny isn''t it, last Tuesday felt like a defeat, seven days later and it feels like we''ve won, but we only got a draw on both occasions. Wish I''d gone tonight now but that result and performance more than makes up for that.I thought we were poor last Tuesday and even worse on Friday but maybe this is the turning point now.

ca 1 Posted February 3, 2009 Well done ''''our team '''' us fans are so proud of you tonight plus a special mention for the travelling fans, well done to you all too.Wasn''t online tonight to do my usual but its never too late soCMON YOU YELLOWS [:)][:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scents60 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Thoroughly agree that tonight was a fantastic result and a great effort from the lads.However, before we all get a little carried away, let''s see if the momentum can be sustained. I still feel that 4 points out of 9 against struggling teams is a poor return, especially when it really looked like we had 3 points in the bag last Tuesday.And I also still have in mind what happened after the last good result against Wolves.Not being all doom and gloom, just saying enjoy the win but stay realistic, the season still has many peaks and troughs to go.

Zachariah Lovespoon 0 Posted February 3, 2009 As you say Mellow excellent point and to eco the thoughts of others, if we can just sort the defence we can start to climb the table a little bitAll in all very pleased with the new regime so far, at least now if the worst happened we would go down fighting but it looks very much like we can stay up, a good result against Bristol and we''re starting to look perkyBRYAN GUNN’S GREEN ARMY!
