Wandsworth Canary 0 Posted September 29, 2010 Ignoring the Ruddy ''save'' which was a howler, there was also some pretty poor defending on a couple of the others. Great goal from Wes and cracking finish from Crofts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagleeye 0 Posted September 29, 2010 Just because he scores doesn''t now make him a good player. Reports are saying that Wes had a really good game tonight, well thats good, its about time. He is only making up for all the times he has wasted the ball in all previous games.I share the views of CDM on Wes. You seem to forget we were playing Leicester City, bottom of league, at home, in front of 24,000 Norwich fans and we scraped a 4-3 win. I don''t get carried away like some NC fans, I take each game as it comes, not expecting too much from them each time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Sides at the very bottom of the table, on their day, can perform as well as anyone at the highest reaches of the table. On the back of our relegation from the top flight we had 4 years to understand the almost ever present flow of this league, in that you can''t be sure one way or the other which way the tides will turn.It''s worth reminding that prior to Leicesters 6-1 loss to Portsmouth that they beat Pompey 2-1 on the very same ground only 3 days before in the League Cup, and also that only 10 days before that that they beat high flying Cardiff 2-1. Look back at their relegation and they managed a 4-1 away at the very ground of the team that would be crowned champions. Or how about the performance of the out-and-out Championship winners in 2008-09 on the hallowed turf of Carrow Road?Their position in the table means jot on the day. We ''should'' know as well as anyone also, from last season, that sitting bottom of the League table (bar a points deducted Southampton), on the back of a heavy humiliating defeat early on in the season means very little in the context of the season, and it could as much as be the case that they''re the best side in the League in the long haul, only the likes of you are far too short-sighted (and i''d query your experience as a fan, what are you? 10?) to envisage such a possibility.

Eagleeye 0 Posted September 29, 2010 So John, what you''re saying is, league table positions mean nothing. So, when we (3rd place) meet QPR (1st place) on 16th October, what do you think the outcome will be ? From your views we have every chance of beating them.As much as I love Norwich, and have done for 41 years (I''m not 10 !), and I would love them to beat QPR, I would not bet on Norwich winning that game, would you ?

shefcanary 2,955 Posted September 29, 2010 Thanks for posting the link - having seen this now what was Ruddy on for the first - wakey wakey! The defending for their second was woeful - cut that out. Adam the man''s goal I have to say had much more skill than Wes'' punt! And the sending off - well really it wasn''t worth that but thankfully it ensured we got 3 points.Next another bottom of the table side - Brissle. Got to defend better there, but we only have to beat Calamity this time so should be a good chance of a win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Eagleeye, your argument seems to be that Wes fails to score spectacular goals or deliver the perfect cross more times than he succeeds. Of course. Which player doesn''t? If Wes was as good as your expectations suggest, he''d be playing in the Champions League.What he is is ambitious. He''s always looking for the killer pass. The point is, that it probably only comes off 10% of the time. But when it does, we tend to score. We have constructed a system where he can do that - if he gives it away, he''s high enough up the pitch for it not to be a problem. I can''t remember many players who have given me more pleasure watching City. In every single game he does something breathtaking. Last night he did three breathtaking things - the pass that Holt nearly got on to, the pass that set up Drury and his second goal. And I''m not even counting him burying that penalty just when we needed it. It''s beyond me why people continue to criticise him for giving the ball away or not having a right foot. It''s like criticising Michael Nelson for not slaloming his way through defences every game, or Simon Lappin for being too hairy. Wes is who he is, and the best bits of him are the best bits of every game we play. I watch football for lots of reasons: one of them is to see the commitment of people like Andrew Crofts. But the biggest one is to be in the presence of players who do amazing things, who see passes that no-one else can see, who can leave players for dead with a spin on the heel. I really feel that if you don''t like watching Wes then you should really go and watch a different sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John 0 Posted September 29, 2010 [quote user="Eagleeye"]So John, what you''re saying is, league table positions mean nothing. So, when we (3rd place) meet QPR (1st place) on 16th October, what do you think the outcome will be ? From your views we have every chance of beating them.As much as I love Norwich, and have done for 41 years (I''m not 10 !), and I would love them to beat QPR, I would not bet on Norwich winning that game, would you ? [/quote]They (table positions) mean little prior to the end of the season, especially at this stage.For all we know QPR won''t be able to buy a win by January. Leeds looked to have already had the League One title in the bag by this time last season (25 points to QPR''s 23), but such is the nature of the game, genuinely crazy events unfolded, that saw them in possession with anything but. We (you apart, seemingly) saw them go on a cup run, upstaging Tottenham on their own ground and beating the might of Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, and then lose their grasp on the silverware to the one time basement side of the league. Now this league is renowned for the even more unusual, so why something akin'' to the change in climate of last seasons League One can''t happen i don''t know. It''s all up in the air at the moment, and any person who argues different is due a serious shock to the system sooner or later.And i wouldn''t have bet on so many of the surprises that have taken place in the Championship, and it''s not to say because we would bet either way that we can be privy to the knowledge of the eventual outcome.I''m surprised you of all people can find yourself with 41 years of experience. You''re understanding and appreciation for football as a game, most distinctly displayed by your lack of acknowledgement for Hoolahan and his class on here, and football''s culpability to throw up the all too weird and bizarre eventualities that no man nor woman can provide a certain reckoning on with the outcome, is desperately ignorant.Going by the conviction in your all too naive comments, i''d take a guess that this is your first season as a spectator of the game if i didn''t know any better.

Gingerpele 0 Posted September 29, 2010 CDMullins, what on earth is your problem?He Scored 20 goals last season, and isn''t a striker...He was probably involved in 75% + of our goals...When Hoolahan missed games, Holt looked poor (or maybe it was the other way around :P).....And what has international level got to do with anything? Hucks never played for England....and also, how will Hoolahan fit into the Ireland team? do they play a diamond? probably not...therefore even if they are looking at him, the manager might not want to risk him, because he doesn''t know how to fit him in, and they don''t have the games to try and fit him in....
