PhatCanary 0 Posted March 25, 2010 Was talking to some City fans this morning who are worried by the new loan players Leeds have brought in,i for one am very happy to see Leeds bring in a few new loan players,they won''t know each other and also they won''t be match fit,i think Leeds are clutching at straws a bit and trying to liven up the squad but imo they don''t have enough to beat us on Saturday new players or not!!

King Klose 0 Posted March 25, 2010 Its only one loan player in Neill Collins, who is a straight replacement for Kisnorbo. Lowry was already at the club and has been on the bench/fringes of the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul ncfc 0 Posted March 25, 2010 They have signed Sanchez Watt from Arsenal as well, lets hope their loan signings are about as successful as ours were last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You played very well, particularly keeping the ball, but we did the important bit.Last time I checked, the best way of deciding whether you have enough to beat a team is by beating them!Having said that of course, you showed you an give us a good game and beat us, which i do think you will at the weekend.

I think there are 2 main reasons for our collapse (amongst several little ones), the man u win (yay we''re on top of the world, dont give a shit about the league we''ll win the FA cup and play loads of extra games!!) and the beckford saga. The bloke clearly isn''t set in footballs ways, as his transfer request and then turnaround shows how poorly advised he was. If the goals were still coming i wouldnt mind, but by his standards he has gone dry, and he''s off in the summer. I just wanna get the disruption out the club. the money isnt the issue either, bates wouldnt have re-invested it in to the squad! If the rumours of the grayson bust up are true, then we''ll just have to go and do the rest without him. personally I think the Watt from arsenal signing is confirmation beckford won''t play on saturday. If grayson goes 4-4-2, which i think he shouldnt, on saturday, then watt will go up top with becchio IMO. similar players watt and beckford, pacey, and watt will have a much better touch, and hopefully will be just as good a finisher.

Bill 1,788 Posted March 25, 2010 "Last time I checked, the best way of deciding whether you have enough to beat a team is by beating them!"err no, in many ways as that presumes everything is the same as then.We have a stronger squad. With Beckford likely to be out, as is your influential defender it won''t be the same.You can not expect a gifted goal every time.Your form and, I would suggest, your confidence is shot to pieces.You will be in front of our fans this time.On probability I will give it to us. But that''s probability not the certainty you are claiming. But then you were claiming that certainty of promotion and the title when you were a dozen or more points ahead of us.Your fans wee claiming you had ''enough'' to beat Millwall a few days ago. Do you have ''enough'' to avoid the playoffs ? That I''m not certain of, but on probability I would say no.Div 1 again I''m afraid. But you''ll probably have ''enough'' to beat Rochdale, Yeovil and Exeter.ps I hope Beckford plays for you before he leaves, would be such a shame to leave on a sour note Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a stronger squad. With Beckford likely to be out, as is your influential defender it won''t be the same.

Div 1 again I''m afraid. But you''ll probably have ''enough'' to beat Rochdale,Yeovil and Exeter.yes I do think we have enough, but I think based on how we are playing and the lack of "bouncebackability" means we probably will drop in the play offs.

Grayson looked clueless. and it was only after millwall and southampton that i finally felt we are actually gonna get jumped by those below us. before that I felt we would stick it out. problem seems to be grayson can''t pick them up again.Grayson was given one mission: get us up, be it in 1st 2nd or 6th, just do it. That should dictate wether he is our manager next year. And he has got the squad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singing canary 0 Posted March 25, 2010 the thing that i noticed against leeds v millwall . millwall looked a much fitter than leeds in the later part of the game .norwich seem to score late in most games . leeds have had alot of games which now late in the season has taken its toll .norwich are brimming with confidence ,and clearly shown.. will go all out for the win .i hope leeds throw about 4 loan players in ... not match fit players, and knackered players, against a team with one of the best home form in the country.bring it on ..!!!
