Green and Yellow 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Did Norwich behind closed decide that they were better off out of the cup and before I get shot down I will explain. Yes a third round game would have produced a good pay day providing Norwich got a home draw against one of the big four or five then again they could have got a small team. Take that against promotion and that is what counts because Norwich need promotion as that is more beneficial to the club financially long term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThorpeCanary 71 Posted November 28, 2009 I dont think so, I think the money on offer from a cup run is enough of a insentive to go for it, plus Lamberts ''in it to win it'' attitude.Athough on 88 minutes watching our defence pass the ball around as if we were 2-0 up was a bit strange.

ron obvious 1,711 Posted November 28, 2009 No, just too many players not up for it/having an off day. It happens to all teams.Lambo better not let it happen too often, mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steak&Ale 0 Posted November 28, 2009 I wonder,players not seeming to be up for it. Lambert showing very little emotion. Knocking the ball about with a few minutes to go. I reckon you may have a point Baldrick. My hat comes off to all those who made the trip though.... along with my coat, scarf and long-johns! It looked a triffle chilly out there. Well done all of you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
