Our worse top flight start...EVER!

[RvWs 4 year contract 0]

I''d rather trust David McNally than the likes of Wiz...At least McNally doesnt keep changing his mind every 2 minutes!

McNally! Now that is an interesting one. He''s never had to handle anything but unbelievable success since he''s been here. How long will it be before we hear McNally Out? How much good will has he banked from the fans? How long before he becomes an integral part of little ol'' Norwich?

 

 

[/quote]You know what you have just done, haven''t you?Oh well, it will give him a rest from Hughton / Delia bashing.[/quote]

 

But was Hughton a McNally appointment or was he Delia''s man?

 

Just asking.

 

[:|]

 

 

[/quote]No idea, you tell me.What I will say though is that Delia openly admitted that she had made mistakes in such things in the past, heart ruling head and all that, and stated she would be taking a back seat in such matters.I''m sure we can get a conspiracy theory out of this though, we should never let the truth get in the way.[Y]

Just read the story properly myself (rather than being lazy and relying on others) and I now realise the thread title should be "Our worst top flight points haul after six games ever", which unfortunately is not as dramatic at the thread title chosen by the OP. Not sure why the six match point has been chosen as the benchmark, particularly given that we went all decimal decades ago......

And there''s the rub. Hughton was very much McNally''s appointment, creating a bit of a conundrum for those who have deified our Chief Executive so far. If Hughton is such a disaster the buck stops at an inconvenient place.

Spot on, and that''s why Hughton will be given lots of time for good or bad.

six will soon be eight, then eight will be ten..........

[quote user="Timmah"]But was Hughton a McNally appointment or was he Delia''s man?[/quote]You should know the rules by now! If he succeeds, It''ll be down to McNally, If he fails, blame Delia......

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,048]

There is a very simple, highly illogical rule that needs to be applied to all Norwich City managerial appointments and it goes like this:

Bad Manager equals Delia appointment, Good manager equals the lesser of stroke of luck or McNally appointment

 

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,048]

Paul, at the beginning of the season, when you looked at the fixtures did you honestly, hand on heart, given our record over the years, think we would get anything at Chelsea or home to Arsenal?. I will be straight with you I expected to have around five/six points after our first eight games, we have three, personally not going to lose any sleep ath this point in time, nor will I wet my knickers if we lose the next two, happy for you to come back at me after say 14 games.......

[hogesar 9,818]

There''s a thin line between good, and bad when we talk about football.In my opinion, had we won against West Ham / QPR rather than drawing, i believe 90% of the crap posted on here wouldn''t be. That''s a difference of 1 goal, equivilant to two points.That''s not to say there aren''t issues which need to be addressed - i think it''s time to play Wes regularly and go for the diamond formation - no reason why we can''t still be defensively solid enough with it (we have better defenders than last year). But it seems the usual brigade on here have thrown in the towel already - thank f*ck you''re not the manager/player/coaches!

How can you say that with our fantastic recent record in that area?  Fans turned against Worthy and we got Grant. Fans turned against Grant and we got Roeder. Fans turned against Roeder and we got Gunn.

Who wants stability when we can have upheaval and the lottery of whether the next one works out any better? [;)]

Recent? Pah! "Recent" only for teens and pre-teens...

Recently fans turned against Lol Morgan and we got Ron Saunders and the top flight for the first time. Even more recently fans turned against Saunders and we got John Bond.

PS. Beau, do I get a gold star[*] for being the only person on this message-board who over the last three years has consistently vilified[8o|] McNally while the rest of you were deifying[A] him?[:P][;)][:P]

You get no star from me Purple. But what you do get is the "smudger is our leader protest cloak" and you can lead the McNally Out March from the Murderers prior to the Arsenal game[Y]

We haven''t played the games yet so who can say we will lose them. Every game has a chance to be won under Lambert, but not with negative strategies under Hughton, thus we have lost points when we could have picked them up. If Hughton changes strategy, I''m with him.

[Redders Right Foot 22]

what defines a start? 6 games? bit soon to be deciding that IMO.

if we beat chelsea (highly unlikely), will it still be our worst start? as we would of gotten a win in the first 7, and therefore done better than worthy in 7 games, points wise.

[Highland Canary 76]

We won''t beat Chelsea or Arsenal - last season I thought we''d give them a game but not this. There was even a few minutes in the Chelsea game and even more minutes in the Arsenal game that you felt something incredible might happen. Not this. Real problem is I can''t see us beating Stoke or Reading either.

So how exactly will we set up against Chelsea?  Can you tell us the team just so as we can all share your insight?

 

You''re pathetic. Your assessments are based on the highlights you might catch on MOTD, you don''t go to games, you can''t listen to the radio, yet you spend your time on here doom mongering and trying to impart your worthless opinions on everyone. I can forgive Paul Moy, he thought Cody MacDonald was good so he clearly has problems, but you...

Apart from a worse goal difference and not being in bottom place, we''ve got identical results at this stage to Everton from 2 seasons ago - [url=http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/league-table.html?season=2010-2011&month=SEPTEMBER&timelineView=date&toDate=1285541999999&tableView=HOME_VS_AWAY]http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/league-table.html?season=2010-2011&month=SEPTEMBER&timelineView=date&toDate=1285541999999&tableView=HOME_VS_AWAY[/url].I''m sure at the time many Evertonians were down in the dumps and questioning Moyes''s team selection, tactics and style of football etc. But would they have fared better by sacking him and getting in Holloway?
