Norwich or die tryin! 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Lambert got the substitutions spot on again just as he did atcolchester. Smith sounded a little tired which is understandableconsidering he is only 18 and this is his first full season and Johnsondone well but sounded a little tired after starting for the first time.What impressed me was the hunger of the two subs Mac and Cody, theyboth looked so up for it and determined to prove a point. WhateverLambert has said to them while they have been on the bench certainlydone the trick as they both looked so hungry to impress and verylively. So pleased for Cody getting the goal, he has had to wait for along time for an opportunity and that winner must do his confidence noend off good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelmsford Canary 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Not heard much on how McNamee did tonight as all hype on Cody - did he do well?Feel sorry for the guy, asw not had a chance to prove his worth, however it could be the catalyst (similar to lambo dropping hoolahan) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hannibal 0 Posted January 27, 2010 was his run that led to the corner for the first goal and was involved in the second goal too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudger 0 Posted January 27, 2010 [quote user="The Duke"]was his run that led to the corner for the first goal and was involved in the second goal too[/quote]Agree that it was McNamee who made the difference tonight. He only had two or 3 touches but they were telling ones and Walsall were frightened of his pace, skill and direct approach... [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted January 27, 2010 Just got back home, tired and cold but happy, certainly agree that it was inspired substitutions buy our ''''God''''The last 20 mins made the freezing weather seem somewhat warmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ole 0 Posted January 27, 2010 OK, we have are top of the table and we have won 16 of our last 19 league games.But isn''t this as expected before the season? We have not played in the third tier since 1960, and we played in Premier League five years ago.Next season will be the real test for Lambert. Don''t compare him with Grant, Roeder or Gunn, let''s see if he can do same as Worthy did before we name him "God". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted January 27, 2010 [quote user="Ole"]But isn''t this as expected before the season? [/quote]Only by complete idiots. The guy inherited a squad devoid of confidence or spirit, with no idea who its best players were or what formation they should play in to bring out the best in them. I think 16 wins in 19 games at any level is pretty awesome and is enough evidence for me to suggest the guy compares favourably with Grant, Roeder and the hopeless Gunn.

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Once Lappin went to left back we really lacked balance further up the pitch on the left, Hughes is a good player but he''s not a left sided player and this caused us problems. Lambert first tried moving Hoolahan to the left to sort this but in the end went for McNamee and it paid dividends as we then took control. Both Cody and McNamee gave us a spark and an injection of pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ole 0 Posted January 27, 2010 [quote user="Pboro_Canary"][quote user="Ole"]But isn''t this as expected before the season? [/quote]Only by complete idiots.[/quote]Thanks [:D]But I will still say I expected us to win be League One champions before the season started. And I thought the same after the first game (1-7).
