chicken 0 Posted July 28, 2011 NorwichCityFC Norwich City FC Contract extension to 2013 for young City ''keeper Jed Steer - and 3-month loan move to Yeovil (with 24-hour recall) bit.ly/NCjsteThat just up on the same twitter feed so good news for those that feared he would be sold.Plus Hoolahan just denied.

AJ 1,218 Posted July 28, 2011 Hoolahan again skipping past a few players butr his shot is blocked. A very pre-season feel to the game apparently.I feel we may not see us going ''all guns blazing'' until the last two games tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 28, 2011 It might help if some of the less bright were to grasp that that the object of pre season friendlies is not necessarily to get a win They will be about -Trying out new formations ie testing the players, and finding out the best combination etcGetting the players up to speed - not risking pointless injuries Reading some of the posts from the Palace friendly and I''m reminded of the ''happy clappy'' who told his wife just before kickoff that Norwich''s number 8 wouldm''t score, " he''s just had twenty shots at his the keeper before the game and not scored one of them" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two games against lower league opposition without scoring a goal breeds confidence does it?Im suprised by these perfomances, I really am. We should be one down and by the sound of it we''ve rarely had an attack. Poor stuff, sorry but it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted July 28, 2011 So again... what about last year when we failed to score a single goal against the combined might of Stevenage, Dagenham and Lincoln? What relevance did that have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor stuff, sorry but it is.[/quote]As stated previously, the objective of this game is not to beat the opposition or even to breed confidence, it is simply about getting the players up towards match fitness. The intensity of the games will build up slowly as we progress through the friendlies with higher quality opposition but it won''t be until the season starts that the mentality changes to fighting for a win. There are no points at stake! Lambert and anyone else with any intelligence would not be phased by a 0-0 or even a loss. Chill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted July 28, 2011 Not need to applogies for your postOtherwise how do you know how the players are playing ? How do you know what Lambert''s intsructions were to the players, and his intentions were for these two games. ?You don''t.Instead you have just posted up some idiotic drivel about confidence. Do you really think the players ''confidence'' is shaped by beating Southend or Palace. That Lambert has told the players that if they win these two games then Chelsea and Man Utd will no threat at all ?If you had watched the first 45 mins at sPalce you would have seen what was happening. seen the City players push the ball about as if Palace were not there. It was a routine training ground execise.If you had read a few of the posts above and other threads you would grasp what pre season friendlies are about. Clearly you have not.Better your apology would have been for being an idiot -- not the demonstrating of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mervmeister 18 Posted July 28, 2011 Why the heck are people worrying about scoring goals?The last 2 seasons we have been top scoring team in Championship and League 1, against the teams we played in last 2 friendlys. So why after improving the squad would that change!! Get a grip people!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew he was not good enough so now it looks like he is injured.Amybody know how long he is out for? Now we have to rely on an inexperienced rookie just because Lambert would not sign Fraser Forster ![;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
