I agree.
The whole league seems worse than last year - we drew fairly comfortably away at Spurs and Everton as well. I don't think we're much better - other teams have become more mediocre.
I've watched Norwich (on Sky) a few times this season and they are ordinary but resilient and cohere refreshingly as a team. However the danger for them, as I see it from my limited perspective, is that Houlihan may at some point get injured. He makes them tick.
Very true rich.
We are a solid team - ordinary really as you say - that Houghton has organised into an effective unit.
We've done amazingly considering we lost John Ruddy for 3 months and have had such a good run, but losing another key player such as Hoolahoop or Bassong (who has been fantastic at the back and scored a few) would be a real problem with our small squad.
Hopefully we can beat Wigan at Carrow Rd this Sat and then we'd be on 25 points - if you need 40 to stay up (give or take) we'd be getting closer with 21 games left.
I can see us losing a few, but hopefully we can get enough points in the bank to stumble over the line before we start to pick up injuries.
I would like to see us buy another forward in the January sales ?
