ReadingCanary 0 Posted August 25, 2013 People on the Twitter and Facebook page saying if we lose next week we will be relegated. This is ....... with 35 games left to play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted August 25, 2013 It''s not....BUT, would certainly agree that we expect a much better performance...against, dare I say....a very good Southampton side who have againspent big money and who are "unbeaten" so far this season so they must be good!

BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0 Posted August 25, 2013 I wouldn''t say a must win, it is more of a NOT LOSE and a better performance would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted August 25, 2013 Drawing 19 home games is probably not enough to secure another season in the PL. I assume we can discount the away games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr 4-6-0 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Winnings overated is it? Just as well as they''ve a better Manager, better squad and more ambition. I predict a 3 or 4 nil spanking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted August 25, 2013 [quote user="JF"]Poor attitude, every match should be approached as a must win match.[/quote]I hate the hyperbole and the idea of must win matches that are no such thingYes they should set out with the aim of winning but that doesn''t make it a must win. Because it''s not. They are professional sportsmen and should approach the game as such, not like a park kick around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 25, 2013 I dunno about MUST win, but it is pretty vital we get a 1st win sooner rather than later, it came back to bite us during worthys stint in the prem. I''d say we are 2 points short of where we should be at the moment going on a record of getting an average of 2 points from our home games and 1 point from our away games with defeats to the top 4/5 away and 2/3 at home allowed. A win versus Southampton puts us a point back on track which followed by a point versus Tottenham would bring us back to expected levels; 5 points from 4 games. The 40 points remains our target as far as i''m concerned. Once that is achieved, we can see where we can go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted August 26, 2013 you''re right OP, we demand a positive reaction to the no-show though!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted August 26, 2013 I expect a win, I expect a reaction which means a performance that warrants a win. We are at home and should dictate.I hope new signings are in the agenda as there are some in this team that need to be on the bench, the midfield as we have all discussed is the same midfield that we had during our terrible run.We need that central midfield shaken up, fer has proved the level he brings and he needs someone to match that. Our boys are proving at the moment that the second half of the season was not a fluke. We were that bad.So the next two games can firstly bring on some cohesion with the bury game with bassong and snoddy back in the team.Then Southampton can be that game where we start our season, show a performance that warrants a premiership team. Show intent, guile, pace and quality... We have a number of players that have that can the others lift to that level, well they better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,373 Posted August 26, 2013 As others have said, I feel it''s not a ''must win'' but probably more like a ''would be quite important'' to win.One good performance, one shocking performance, playing a team you would think would be around our finishing position come May, and at home.Important to dampen the fires set last Saturday and get off the mark in our ''W'' column.

Syteanric 1 Posted August 26, 2013 if we do win certain posters on here will change their tune, Hughton will be fantastic, and we will be heading for europe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted August 26, 2013 You are right jas there are some ridiculous expectations on show. Spurs spending 9 million + on every transfer shows how much you need to get into Europe, we are a fluttering of signings of that quality but only 1or2 and then either players who have come up from league 1 with us or from the championship.1 win is not enough, we have a tough spurs game and then villa at home. We need to pick up points at the start of the season as the end is the toughest fixture run you could ask for. Hughton has the transfer window once that shuts that is the squad we have left to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr 4-6-0 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Michael Bailey has tweeted that it may be a mistake to under estimate how important the next 5 days might be for NCFC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted August 26, 2013 Is there any reason to believe that MB''s ''tweet'' has any particular importance rather than what he happens to be thinking at that point in time. If it''s more than that, why doesn''t he write an article setting out his point-of-view? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted August 26, 2013 [quote user="Mr 4-6-0"]Michael Bailey has tweeted that it may be a mistake to under estimate how important the next 5 days might be for NCFC.[/quote]Its massively important.Hughton needs to select a strong line up for tomorrow night and win convincingly. The players need it, and the fans need it.Lose tomorrow night and Saturday is going to be very nervy indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary02 IV 0 Posted August 26, 2013 I don''t think it''s must win for Norwich City at all. As a lot of people are quick to point out, it will only be the third game of the season.For Chris Hughton it does take on an increased significance. The longer he goes without providing a performance of any fluidity, the more difficult his position will become. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
