hubbly 0 Posted April 11, 2010 I am a regular poster but don''t want to get the wrath of the board. I beleive that we wont go up and here is why. First, and I was trying to post this last week is that Grant Holt was obviously going to get booked against MK. We lose him for 2 games. We will lose them both.Second, I know on very good authority that Hoolahan is out for the season. As last year the club are hushing it up. he has a torn quad and wont feature again. Without Holt last time Wes came into his own. He wont now. We need the diamond to defeat defensive teams. It gives us width when our full backs can overlap as our midfield are narrow. Anthony cannot give us this. And, I can reveal that Drury is out for three weeks after the MK game. We wont beat Orient, or Charlton. Our only chance is for Leeds Swindon or Millwall to lose two of their remaining games...which I don''t believe they will. We will lose in the playoffs. So that''s it. I''ll bump this thread as we slip further down the the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Barak 46 Posted April 11, 2010 We will go up this year, but for the reasons you give it will not be as straight forward/easy as we hoped.Lambert WILL take us up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Shirt 17 Posted April 11, 2010 I think elliot will be fine to replace Holt for 2 games. Holt still hasn''t come back full strength from his last suspension in my eyes and Chris M will come into his own this time.Oli will replace Wes and will be more than enough for these last few games. We are not playing our best at the moment or at least not getting things to go the way we want them every game but we will grind out the points now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted April 11, 2010 I should have a good laugh at this, but I''m actually going to take the bait. Let''s assume that the OP is right about Hoolahan and Drury for the moment :1.Why is there an assumption that just because we don''t have Wes we will lose virtually every game? Yes, we''ve not played brilliantly against Stockport and MK, but we''ve created a large number of chances and could have just as easily knocked in five in both games to win comfortably. We''re hardly playing like a bottom half side, are we?2. Despite the criticism on here, Michael Rose deputised for Drury pretty effectively and figured in wins in 5 of his 7 starts, including Huddersfield away.3. Forster is back on Tuesday and Holt is back for the last three, although, once again, we did OK when he was out before.We only need pretty indiffferent results to go up from hereon in.We are not a one, two or even three man team, and to suggest otherwise is a slur on some very talented and committed players.I''d like to think that the OP is a troll, but one thing he certainly isn''t is a Norwich City fan.

Canary Girl 0 Posted April 11, 2010 What''s happened to Drury? Unfortunately I couldn''t make the match Saturday but did follow it online. I read that there was a moment when he was viciously tackled and was hobbling but thought that he managed to run it off.Has he actually been injured? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
