If you think we are not on impending doom please just post here so it proves that some of us are sane

I''d like to think most of us are sane but we will see.

Not bothered about losing at Palarse in a friendly, our Smellhurst Park jinx just continuesIMO we are going to have a good season and will suprise quite a few teams so no impending doom here.

While I want Norwich to win every game they play, I''m sane enough to realise that friendlies mean little other than getting ready for the real thing!

[quote user="Herman "]I am mostly sane btw[Y][/quote]Pretty sure a read of some of the posts tonight should cure you of that!

Some of our supporters are really embarrassing to be frank. I don''t know if they are serious, insane, are failing at being sarcastic online or something else. I think the fact that we dominated the whole game and lost to a goal in the last few minutes to a team that is well ahead of us in fitness tells us that our lack in fitness meant that they had an advantage over us in the last few minutes and they took full advantage of that.

They say pro footballers at this level are always fit.  During their few short weeks off they''re given exercise programmes to stick to.  Saying we were beaten because they were more fit that us is just silly imo.

I''m positive, the message board really annoyed me tonight so i haven''t read it till now.

I think alot of the messages are sarcastic, so i''ve put a few up on twitter. To start with i read them as serious! :)

Just hope that if players, such as Vaughan, see them he doesnt think we''re a bunch of mentals!

Relax and enjoy people. Got a great season coming up.

Its crazy how one deffeat on frendly at rubish ground make ppl unhappy!

We never loose 2 in a row last 2 years and no doubt this will not be same very soon.

If we doubt Lambert choise after evry deffeat this mood will be very bad for the club!

We must be behind the team all season because no doubt will be very hard year.

We are at dream place against all the odds and we can enjoy this!

Im almost sure that because fitnes level who is worst than championhip/lig one teams we hardly will win next 2 games southend/coventry and if this happen here will be mad place if ppl react like this after evry joke frendly game.

We must be p[ossitvie all the time.

On the ball!!!

We are about to start a new season in the Premier League with the best manager we have had in years.

What''s not to be positive about?

[/quote]Exactly, save your negativity for when we are 3-0 down to Wigan after 10 mins [;)]

[star_manic 0]

last season we could only draw away to lincoln in a totally forgettable friendly, so how come we got promoted. according to some doom mongers it''s lucky we wern''t relegated two divisions. players don''t go full out until fully fit to avoid injury. friendlys mean nothing in the scheme of competetive football.

Quite frankly some fans are idiots, who are at their most content when they have something to moan about.

The last two friendlies against our continental friends will be the ones I pay close attention to. As has been posted Palace are ahead in terms of fitness and prep as they kick off earlier, as will be the case with southend and coventry.

And it''s not as if we played badly last night, sounded like a great workout and our 1st proper serious match to get us back in the groove. Finally a good pre season has no bearing on the real thing, just look back 2 years ago, we beat Palace at their place, then beat Wigan at home.....fans were optimistic of Norwich under Gunn, then what happened?

[ZLF 271]

Impending doom?

Look, we can survive next season, probably we will not. That is the bare bones of it.

If we dont get relegated we can cement ourself in the prem next season

If we go down disasterously so what? we will almost certainly still have lambert whether its a tight battle or not. And we have a v strong team for the bounceback.

And we are still ahead in an achievable 5 year plan for sustained prem football.

where is the impending doom in that?????

[Canary23 0]

bad pre season equals great season so it''s a win win situation in friendlies. Or is that a lose win, win lose or lose lose win win situation!!!!!
