    Any idea how many appearances he has made for Norwich this season? I would be amazed if he plays prem football next season.

    tell you what lads, those calling for a new manager...we did not change managers at half time, that is one game we had by the balls and should have been out of sight by half time, at least two more very good chances were missed and had we gone in 6-0 up nobody would have been surprised.

    i just need to know how the exact same lads can come out for the second half and forget how to pass to each other, how to press for the ball and suddenly give daft free kicks away, i do not think any substitutions made today would change anything as we still hit it long, only diamond tried to run with the ball and we got the third through him...the rest were happy just to get rid.

    this same 'one half' mentality has been present all season bar one or two games and the only way to get rid of it is to get players who play for 90.

    Indeed, a large part of the problem as to why we are here has been the merry go round of managers. Those giving the manager stick tolerated Parkinson much longer, give yer heeds a shake.

    Or after several CBs were injured...a loanee Sanderson came in and he and 09 formed a good partnership so despite having another midfielder as RB and a crap LB..we managed clean sheets. So as today when Wyke scores goals we win.

    Sanderson getting injured and carrying an injury in his last few games he played, was the last straw, the defence fell apart. Bailey Wright is okay but needs an experienced big CB with him.

    We have to come up with a better defence with the players left... over to you LJ

    He's made 3 starts (one in the league, one in the FA Cup, and one in the league cup) plus two substitute appearances in the league (a total of 112 minutes played in the league and perhaps another 150 in cups). Certainly doesn't look like he'll be playing in the prem.

    Thoughts on his hair though, which is the most important thing. It's a bit too big for my liking. :afro:

    6 games.

    3 in the league (but only 1 start - though has since been an unused sub in their last 5 consecutive games),

    1 each in the EFL Cup, EFL Trophy and the FA Cup.

    Yes it's a bit on the bouffant side, let's be generous and say it's a lockdown haircut.

    I'm more concerned about whether he's Mark Gatiss' lovechild or not. I'm going to say yes he is

    We’ve got players who’ve been promoted before, played international games, played in the championship ... I just think the club is cursed. Look at the way Grigg is scoring at MK Dons, the way players like McNair and watmore were always injured here but never since leaving .... I’m starting to think it’s just an inevitability that we will never have a half decent team.
