E I E I E I O 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Good Riddance!! This man has single handed dragged us down to the third division! I have said on here for years that soon as we get a manager that replaces him as his number 1 priority we would move forward.I was correct and cannot believe some blind idiots actually stuck up for this excuse for a footballer. Those of you that actually voted this man for player of the season should hang your heads in shame. You clearly know nothing about football! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Webfooted Wanderer 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Every dog has its day, unfortunately our lame mutt Doc had his a year or so before we signed him. He hasnt been good enough for a very long time, what this does do though, if he goes is really stamp the new managers authority on the squad. He is making it perfectly clear he wants a strong team out, and the back line is where he has to start. Its no wonder Norwich have produced a long line of good goalkeepers, they have probably been the busiest in the league! So yes, Doc out, GOOD. Lets start to impose ourselves on this Mickey Mouse League and get back in the Championship and continue to rebuild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambo 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Only a fool would say it''s all Doc''s fault, but for me the simple fact is he''s not good enough.Nelson, Askou and Spillane have all looked better than Doc this season and should stay ahead of him in the pecking order.

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted August 29, 2009 Don''t think Spillane''s been any good to be honest, not at centre-back anyway. The only reason he gets cut so much slack is because he came through the academy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big dick sanchez 0 Posted August 30, 2009 I for one would be pleased if he did leave. He is not THE reason we are where we are but he is certainly ONE of the reasons. A few people on here act on some kind of sentiment towards him but nothing I see on the pitch shows me he should stay. I am sure my intelligence will be questioned, even my age but Doc remains the poor choice of several poor managers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, it kind of makes it less legit because almost everyone BUT you has figured out D''OH-erty is a liability. You''re there to see him live week after week and you still haven''t reached the blindingly obvious conclusion that everyone in the soccer world outside of NCFC has. Since you are mentally challeneged, I won''t make fun of you like I do others who are not so feeble minded. You have not countered my points about nobody else rating him. Why is that? My guess is because you know I am right. You have not countered my (and others'') point about him being terrible at distribution. All I ever see is how the midfield sucks and it is all there fault. But if the midfield doesn''t get the ball on the counter, there is not counter attack and the game continues to wallow in our end of the pitch. Previous managers have gotten rid of the truly terrible players like Ashton, Earnshaw, Huckerby, Green, Marshall, Croft and others, but they have all (until now) seen that D''OH-erty was a player we had to have if we were going to continue on the road to success. Unfortunately for we fans, that road has been downhill ever since D''OH-erty showed up, and in the games he has played this year, he has looked no more capable (despite it being against players 2 divisions below what he was hired to play against)."But he''s the best we have!" you keep wailing. A - no he is not and B- then get rid of him and find a replacement because there are hundreds of them out there who can play better than he does and not shake up the entire team with lack of confidence and bumbling.
