    The thing that gets my goat is people talking about "the year two thousand" instead of "twenty hundred" or "two thousand and and nineteen" instead of "twenty nineteen". Do they say the Battle of Hastings was in "a thousand and sixty-six" or do they say, like everyone else, "ten sixty-six"?

    I always say "Twenty Nineteen" - next year will be "Twenty Twenty" (as in vision)

    OK KIO, I'll add my thoughts.
    We have become a VERY poor team in recent weeks and IMO, not all of the blame can be laid at DF's door, as grim what I've seen, the players for the most part aren't even getting the basics right. We have shipped 26 goals in 11 games and that really is not acceptable.
    I'm still confident that he can turn things around, but I'm not expecting our situation to improve mucy until after Xmas.
    I'll update my thoughts in the New Year!!

    Nathan Jones needs a gig - apparently he's a supreme motivator <ok>
    And, with the new arrivals, he could show plenty of baby love.
    Who knows, he might well lead us from our lowly league position up the ladder to the roof?

    My entire suggestion was a joke!
    Bit surprised no one has picked up on the wording of it
    - unless it was too lame to warrant comment? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I meant Cromer's post, not your response JM and as you can see from his post above I was right <cheers>

    No Cromer! Totally wrong call in my opinion, hold tight is the best solution and keep the faith.

    Apologies Cromer, I thought it was out of character, I think I had a humour by-pass!! On reflections it was a silly error

    Some of the more salient points from WillJennings article on MFW - Most worryingly, however, Pukki is being starved of possession and chances. It remains my long-held belief that he really is one of the most clinical forwards in the land and that if he gets chances he will invariably take them. However, at the moment, there really is an acute paucity of service.
    This isn’t, of course, to brush over the defensive problems – obviously exacerbated by the presence of only one fit centre-back – but merely a realisation that the magical football that got us out of jail on many occasions last year has vanished. It’s sad to see.
    But, you know what, I still have faith. If there’s one thing we’ve learned since his appointment – referenced succinctly in Stewart Lewis’ cogent column – it’s that Farke and his team do have the ability to adapt, finding nuanced and unexpected solutions to problems that appear to us all as too well-ingrained to eradicate.
    The start of last season was hardly a resounding success. Instead, the softly-spoken German took stock, acknowledged what was wrong, accepted he needed to be flexible and then made the according changes that prompted that remarkable rise. With Stuart Webber by his side, I have every faith he can do it again.
    And, while to many that faith may look blind and naive, I don’t think it is. Farke is a footballing guru, clearly a deep thinker about a game he mastered so memorably in the second tier. He is only a mere 11 games into his Premier League odyssey, and – just like the Championship – it was always going to take his feet
    So, with Friday night looming in what has already been sold in some circles as a season-defining clash, I believe we can refind our mojo and sparkle under the Carrow Road lights. While there have been early-season issues going forward, it is far too early to write this set of players off.
    To apply the words of Hamm, Farke was the one who got us here. In my mind, he still has what it takes to keep us on top.
