ca 1 Posted February 22, 2011 I see the pinkun has changed it headlines pretty quickly, bet the club started getting loads of calls once people saw their headline re them asking the league to postpone it. [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coelho 0 Posted February 22, 2011 [quote user="NCFC4LIFE"]iffy home form??we have won 4 of the last 5 home games?![/quote]Yes, iffy home form. We have lost more games at home than away over the whole season, have gone a goal down many times, and have relied on last-gasp goals for a lot of the points we have gained at Carrow Road. On the whole, we haven''t played especially well at home in many of our games this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC_Thain 0 Posted February 22, 2011 I think it all depends on how much the players know is going on and how they are as individuals. I was very confident of a result before all this and after all this there is more of a desire to absolutely batter them, if all the players are like this rather than thinking ''they can''t get a proper team together this is going to be easy'' then we should be fine. I think Lambert is going to have them fired up and out to teach Doncaster a lesson for having the cheek to try and get this game off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 22, 2011 We don''t seem to have much luck with anything ''Doncaster'' - Do we Neil?Could be second in the league tonight should we win and other results go our way, so am actually hoping the Suffolk Smurfs win tonight - 13 games to go and 4 points behind QPR would be very nice. Surely Nottingham Forest will slip up at home at some point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted February 22, 2011 why talk about points that are already banked.... we have been winning at home recently so our current home form is good....

We''ve got fantastic fighting spirit, I''m just saying that we seem to be vulnerable to conceding the first goal at home, that''s all. We need to nip that in the bud, or our luck will run out eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted February 22, 2011 agree with you, we do go one nil down in a lot of games! This isn''t just with home games though in our last two away games we have conceeded 1st and i agree it has to stop happening. Doesnt really reflect our form though as the team are still gaining points from these games. Not a full gone conclusion but again I think we will win tonight 2-0Holt and Lansbury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkchance1 0 Posted February 22, 2011 True well done sideshow tim your info was spot on. Feel a bit for Donny in same way I felt for Middlesbrough a few years ago. They did the right thing by asking through proper channels rather than not just turning up. But ultimately it would distort league. As some people have already said on here if they don''t play tonight when do they play again - how many players do you need to field a ''proper team'' - if they play against one of our rivals after our game is called off and lose with a slightly stronger team do we then feel agrieved because we haven''t played them.Harsh on them though they are a decent club with a decent manager and are a good community club.

Syteanric 1 Posted February 22, 2011 you dont actually have to name Any subs in a game of football. if they have 11 fit and healthy players the game goes ahead.whether or not they want to name the other 2 as subs is up to them but a squad of 13 is adequate. there are no rules regarding naming of subs as far as im aware.

So they could turn up with 7 players, start the game have one player go down "injured" and get the game called off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spencer 1970 203 Posted February 22, 2011 I''m sorry, maybe Donny should have signed 5 players at 200/250k rather than doing their lot on Billy Sharp at 1.2m...then they might have a few more to chose from - tough tittums! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silver fox 0 Posted February 22, 2011 I have just listened to the radio interview with the Doncaster chairman who gave his reasons why the game should be postponed. I wish the interviewer had asked him why they did not go out and get some loan players if things are as bad as they make out. He was not slow in saying how they soundly beat us at their place, but then he suggested it would not be fair on the Norwich supporters if Doncaster couldn''t put out a strong team. We are not in the game of feeling sorry for an opponent who can''t put out their strongest team, Paul Lambert has had that problem most of the season.

CJ 0 Posted February 22, 2011 I really really do not like playing against a team who should have no chance and will just put everyone behind the ball. I particularly do not like the move to postpone the match almost like putting up white flag to opposition.This is the kind of game where a traditional City team came unstuck usually 0-1 Hmm maybe just being pessimistic, that is what years and years watching from the River Stand does for you!
