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 ?

Yup, I agree.

Sounds as if Holt may have injured his hamstring today, although all our goals are coming from midfield or defenders.

If we have the money we need a forward as we have loads of really tough games coming up although everyone's overpriced in January and if Holt is out we'll be down to Jackson and Morison - hardly a terrifying combo.

Still, I'll enjoy our 7th place at this stage of the season :thumbsup:

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory today, 2-0 up with 30 mins to go, then the manager takes off both strikers chucks on a player who hasn't played in weeks and a kid up front as a lone striker, we ship 3 goals as a result
hope hes learned his lesson (the manager that is!)
