    Yes, I saw something about that and hope that's the reason.
    Absolutely re Middleton - did you manage to see his first goal FML??

    Yea mate, was a cracker! The more I her and see of the lad, the more excited I'm getting. Suddenly. Josh has gone from "Next big Norwich home grown talent" to behind Jacob, and possibly now Middleton! Pressure is on for that lad!

    So, five points behind sixth placed Wednesday.
    That would suggest to me that a whiff of scraping into the play offs is doing the rounds?
    Sadly, not good news for Maddison, Godffrey etc especially with senior players like Dorrans and Klose back in the mix now.
    Hopefully next season, then :(

    They might have just been coming in for players who came down with the bug.

    Having watched him play a couple of times and especially when he came on at half time against Dinamo Zagreb. He'd only been on the pitch a few minutes, collected the ball just over the half way line and next thing, it' s in the back of the net!!!!
    I'm hopeful that the pressure won't get to him.

    Got up half an hour ago to find we had actually won a match. What went wrong?

    Under Neil we were no where near good enough to go up and we didn't deserve to go up.
    IF the players start playing with heart and remember how to win away we may pull off the comeback of the century.
    McGovern did well and Oliveira is back so I'm not throwing in the towel just yet no matter how unlikely.

    I'm a little confused. We DID go up under Neil, did we not?
    I must be missing a crucial element of this argument.

    I'm talking about this season .
    The feel good factor that he brought for the remainder of the season with Neil Adams team was a long time ago.

    You scripted it in the past tense.

    This season is still current, no? Hence you saying you haven't yet thrown in the towel?

    Alex Neil is past tense the 9 games after he left was/is the remainder of the 2016/17 Skybet Championship season.

    <laugh> You make perfect sense as always.

    I'm a little squiffy after Ireland's fine win, so please do forgive me.

    Next time, put it in verse, ok? I like people that do that. <ok>

    God, can you really imagine DD armed with iambic pentameters and epithets?!! <yikes>
    No, I think one would-be wordsmith on a football forum is more than sufficient, Gandy <ok> ;)
