No More hero's any more...

Recommended Posts

Darel Russel made an interesting comment on Radio Norfolk last night during the game.

During his time as a player at the club Norwich City always had an Identity, a club people could relate to and players would know what they were going into when they signed for the club. Rusty also said how the club had that Hero. When he was here it was Iwan Roberts, Darren Eadie, Craig Bellamy or Hucks in his 2nd spell. it was that talisman that drew players and also gave the club the identity it grew to have.

I agree, we used to be scrappers, then it was good passing football, then it was flair players etc...

where are the hero''s? who in the squad gives us that identity.. its just 11 blokes at work now.

Dion Dublin was one of the Final score pundits for the Beeb on Saturday, he made their comment that Norwich City had no "spark".......

Was that a subtle clue that Mark Hughes is going to be the next manager??

"we used to be scrappers, then it was good passing football"

come off it - who were you watching? Rusty''s time at the club did cover some good periods for us but by and large the late 90''s early noughties were a pretty dark period when we played some awful stuff and were lucky to survive in the second tier.  

We may have lost Holt but Ruddy, Russ, Wes and more recently Snodgrass are the sort of players that could have carried forward the hero mantle and very much have done in the last few seasons. If everything was going swimmingly this season the opportunity for Hooper to be the new Holt is there for him. Unfortunately if hasn''t worked out as we all hoped and now we''re looking around for players to stand up and not really seeing them. But heros aren''t made from a dire run of results and relegations scraps. They''re made when they''re successful and acheive things for the club. If we can somehow snap out of this dire rut we''re in, new heros could be born or reborn very quickly.
