Norwich MP 0 Posted December 7, 2013 Hopefully people are beginning to realise that football is a game. You win some, you lose some. Sometimes you''re lucky, sometimes not. Today, we we were lucky, does anyone care? We''ve been unlucky enough times. Changing manager wont change a lot, changing the squad of players might, but with our funds, status and fanbase we''re doing well enough.Its depressing to come on hear and read how people think the club should be run and listen to the radio and hear the same. Its great to be in the premiership and watch the highest quality football in the country, but we''re always going to be bottom half of the table scrapping around feeling sorry for ourselves and feeling like we could and should do better.It would be nice if one day everyone would just be happy with where we are and support the club. We should always strive to improve and expect good quality performances, but we are at best a mid table club, but who knows, one day we might surprise ourselves as we did getting back up here in the first place.

Buh 0 Posted December 7, 2013 To some people Football is all about their opinions, and making sure their opinions are right and appear the most learned.To that effort they will twist facts, stats and if necessary go after fans, the players, the owners, anyone just to protect their opinion.I find it a lot easier just to just support the team. Sometimes I''m happy, sometimes I''m sad, sometimes I''m right and sometimes I am wrong. All that matters to me is supporting the team that represents where I come from in the purest way.

Guest Posted December 7, 2013 On the bus home the other day, I heard the driver talking about Hughton and how he could not see anything positive in what he brings to the club.To me, this is utter madness. Regardless of what you think of his tactics, I don''t think anyone can question the quality of his signings or sheer hard work in terms of the club and academy.I''m not sure if it is the effect of the Premiership, the timing of Hughton''s appointment, or whether it has always been the same, but there seems to be this "i want it all and i want it now" attitude amongst the supporters that always seems to find a scapegoat. Where is the patience and the understanding that to develop as a club we are going to have periods (especially in this division) where things do not look good.I don''t agree that we will never be better than mid-table, but I believe that it will take stability and another 4/5 transfer windows before we will be truly comfortable at that level.

Bill Car 0 Posted December 7, 2013 Why can’t people just be honest? Today we didn’t deserve it and got very lucky. Villa we shaded but lost, Cardiff we thrashed and were unlucky not to get a result.

Highland Canary 76 Posted December 7, 2013 What a change - and last three years, three wins in four visits to West Brom! And more of us there than last year! More enjoyable than Stoke as well even though it was like the ok corral at the other end of the pitch second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted December 8, 2013 One thing they clearly did better than us was muscle of off the ball in almost every tackle - especially in the second half, but other than that I though we played well, and great to see two clinical finishes from us.
