NorwichRat 4 Posted August 5, 2014 After the last pre season match i have little good to see in mu beloved NCFC. That last game we were poor, The midfield was non existant. Is this what we have to look forward too this year?Hoolahan was crap Friday yet everybody is so happy hes back on track. I would not give him a new contract.RVW going shows poor management. Say that it is up to RVW to stay or not is not good.I have little hope this year and do not expect to finish above tenth.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 5, 2014 Barry Backstabbio come forward.Have a little positivity for goodness sake.Or are you the eternal pessimist?Every club in the Championship will be expecting to do well, and some will be disappointed. But that won''t be until Christmas at least so I don''t understand the poor expectations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted August 5, 2014 My sights were on automatic promotion. It''s the managerial appointment that has led me to the view that mid-table obscurity is, unfortunately, the likely outcome for this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted August 5, 2014 shared by most of the squad it seems - who may know a bit more about him than youthey are leaving in droves and refusing to sign new contracts as wellIi can''t see us winning the title nowit will have to be runners up, I''m afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted August 5, 2014 I believe that Lennon was available. I acknowledge he is not experienced in the Championship but my view is that he has the credibility, tactical nouse given his achievements in Europe with what he had available, and agression needed to challenge the apparent ''little Norwich'' mentality of our board. He would have got the best out of our most important asset, Hooper. This is a make or break season for our club - we should have maximisef the possibility of promotion.

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted August 5, 2014 It was last season when many here set their sites low. "Oh, we''re only 3 points from 10th place", and "we''re a bottom 6 club forever destined for nothing more than relegation battles when in the Prem", and "I would seriously take it from Hughton if he wanted me" sickening mantras flooded the Pinkun threads.With relegation achieved, they seem less vocal in their pessimism.

gabba 0 Posted August 5, 2014 I''m optimistic that Adams will be gone by Christmas. I''m pessimistic that Delia and her drinking buddies will still be here for years to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,765 Posted August 5, 2014 Wouldn''t say sights are set low, except for the usual miserablists, but i think most are being realistic. It is a tough league to get out of with a fair amount of good teams. I am still a bit worried about our defence and until we know who else is leaving/coming it is pretty hard to predict where we will finish.As it stands i think we have enough to get top 6 minimum. Ask me again early September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul101 93 Posted August 5, 2014 Are you serious optimistic he will be gone by xmas so all you are wishing on the team is misery and hardship moron some of you people need to cheer up a little bit seems to me a lot of people have some serious anti club agendas on this forum or in need of some prosac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gabba 0 Posted August 5, 2014 It''s a case of tough love, I want Norwich to be successful like they were before Delia took over. If that means not following the crowd, then so be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted August 5, 2014 The topic isn''t what you''re hoping for, it''s what do you expect. Last time we were relegated, we were sure fire bets to return to the top immediately. Those first 3 games were 9 points in the bag. Then the season started and the pessimists looked prescient. A couple years later we were relegated again. Nobody hoped for that.

Highland Canary 76 Posted August 5, 2014 I think you''re being unfair Herman. I''m still of the view that it was the away support who understood that Hughton would fail months before it became a commonly held view. The only way to get out of this league at the fist attempt is to have a credible, experienced and ruthless manager. Let''s not forget if we fail this season we''re likely stuck in the Champs for years again. Lennon top two, Malky top six, Adams bottom half is what I believe would have/will happen. You may disagree. I think we have the players but not the manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted August 5, 2014 I think we can confidently say that we won''t be playing many teams of the standard of Celta Veigo this season.....what if on the other hand OGC Nice are more akin to the standard to sides in the Championship ?!?!

Maybe you should realise that you weren''t the only one that didn''t have him as first choice. I for one wasn''t very happy about it, but have come to think that it wasn''t a terrible idea and am ready and willing to support him and the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
