Raymond De Waard 0 Posted June 8, 2009 If you look at the players we currently have available, we have got the basis of a sound team for a decent promotion push ffrom League One next season.........with a few shrewd signings we will be fine i''m sure: - GK: RuddLB: DruryRB: Otsemobor (I would look to change this tart if we were still in the championship, but League One is his level!)CB: DohertyCB: StefanovicLW: HoolahanRW: ?CM: ClinganCM: RussellST: McDonaldST: Martin This is not a bad team for this level by any means! I''m not saying that thi sis the team i would be happy to see run out on August the 8th for the start of the season, but when we still have players like Lappin, Spillane, Pattison, Cureton, Daley, Smith, Renton etc - the basis of a side is there! It just needs a few good signings (aroudn 6 or 7 should do it!) What do you reckon? I''m ready to be shot down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The quality is better than you probably imagine and it is a different style of game. Don''t forget that teams will come to stifle us at Carrow Road and get extremely physical away from home. We will more than struggle with the squad that will remain after the inevitable goodbyes from Sammy & Wes and with very limited funds for new faces I can''t see beyond a mid table stagnation at best.

Destort 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Russell and Otsemobor aren''t worthy of any team even at this level. Drury and Stefanovic would be great but I can''t see either getting past 15-20 games in a season.Clingan and Hoolahan will be gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted June 8, 2009 I''m still hopeful Hoolahan and Sammy will stay for at least one more season.I still stand by the fact if Hoolahan hadn''t gotten injured we''d have stayed up and i think him and Clingan may well stay for a year to try and get us straight back up.

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Our problem has always been that we''re too weak a team and never mix it up enough. This isn''t going to change now. I admire the optimism of the OP but as people have already said, it''s highly likely Doc, Hoolahoop and Klingon are off leaving us with inexperienced kids and the rubbish that got us relegated in the first place.

Its crap. Don''t get me wrong it fails to match the technical quality of the Championship but in terms of guts, determination and physicality it probably outranks what we have faced in recent years. I agree that the quality can be poor but I think that the typical Canary fan expects just to walk next season and achieve a top 6 finish just because we are Norwich City - it''s not going to happen. Don''t forget most teams will really raise their game when we come to town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Lamberts Disciple 0 Posted June 8, 2009 [quote user="BA"] I seriously expect out great support to twindle a little when the reality of how poor the standard of football is..... Its crap.[/quote]For once i agree with you. There will be lots of shocked spectators next year, and if we arent challenging come Xmas our home gates could fall to as low as 16k i reckon, with max away support of 3 or 400. If we then fail to be promoted, then the following year I predict STs could return to the pre Worthington era, with virtually zero casuals, and an almost total collapse in away support.

Paul Lamberts Disciple 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Sorry, its late - i meant, home gates could fall to 22k - I meant a fall of 2k but was thinking of our renewed ST figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
