G 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Thought we got him so that when things wern''t going are way we could go 4-4-2 and play wide, where the spaces seemed to be today? We have Huddersfield and Millwall next and they are both teams that stand a chance of beating us. We will have to be at are best and it worries me because we haven''t been lately. Don''t want to sound miserable but December will turn out to be the season changer.Canary call is just ridiculous what was Ray on about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted December 12, 2009 How have we been "poor recently" we got a well earnt point away to S''oton, beat Brighton 4-1, won 2-0 at home and despite being by far the worse side today still came away with an away point. Then we lost a meaningless Cup game.We''re fine at the moment. Lambert''s right not to thrown MacNamee straight into the side IMO, we''re unbeaten since October in the league.

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted December 12, 2009 MacNamee was blatently signed because Lambert plans to sign MacNayouu in January and he thought it would be funny to have MacNamme and You on the wings ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also forgot the 3-0 win away to Southend, we wern''t brilliant but still won by 3 goals.Can''t see what reasons we have to complain in all honesty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We''ve not been at our most coherent I agree, but I highly doubt that Leeds and Charlton have performed as well as we have over the last dozen or so games all season. 8 points is not all that much at this stage, especially when you factor in the games we have to play against the top two. We''re never going to be fantastic in every single match, but if we can carry on picking up 2.4 points per game on average (like we have for the last 1/4 of the season) then I think we would be well on the way!

For Charlton to finish on less than 90pts we''d need them to drop from 2.14pts a game to below 1.8pts a game, possible but unlikely in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay Bear 0 Posted December 12, 2009 MacNamee seemed pretty good when he was at Swindon. He said he came to Norwich because of the good atmosphere and he wanted to play infront of large crowds. As we have two home games coming up which are both stadium sell outs, I think he should start and we should swap the diamond for a bit as too many teams have got it sussed out. Also the normal diamond team have recently been slipping so I think Lambert should bring in some different players I think Hughes and Cody should start.

It''s difficult to imagine many teams taking points off us at home either. Massively difficult task, but if we could aim for between 95 and 98pts I would be very surprised if we didn''t finish second.That''s between 2.24 and 2.36 points per game, which roughly equates to 17/18 wins with a few draws, and a couple of losses. This is something that we have shown we''re capable of, but for 25 games? HUGE ask, but that''s got to be the points target for me, as I can see Charlton and Leeds both getting 90pts+. I think that as you say, realistically we are going to need Charlton or Leeds to lose another half a dozen games each this season. Is this feasible given their form? I''m not so sure!

And struggling to draw against Yeovil isn''t good enough. I don''t want to be one of the ones that moans when i can but today things were not going are way the space was out wide and we have a winger on the bench that we have signed on loan to give us other options and nobody knows how good he really is. Thought today was a really good chance to see what he has got and we didn''t use him. Anyone who thinks we should be beating these teams we are at home should think again.

Bury Yellow 2 Posted December 14, 2009 Lambert has made a lot recently of fitness and how their regime has installed a greater discipline in training. Could it be that he thinks McNamee is not up to our standard of fitness yet. Sounds a perfectly good reason.He''s a fan of the player and I''m sure he''ll get his chance.
