Match Day Thread Norwich City v Birmingham City

Just watched Sky Sports highlights and how did Naismith and Jerome both miss 'easy' chances?! We seemed well in charge but Birmingham did produce some shots off the woodwork. Onwards on upwards?

 

I've got high hopes for both him and JM - they're part of our 'dynasty'!!!
Or should that be our non-existent 'dynasty'???

 

JM will be sold on Deadline day to someone like Barnsley.

BG will be loaned to someone like Peterborough.

Safe trip home to the 360 hardy #itfc fans who made the journey
to Preston today with conditions off the pitch matching play on it!

 

I really like how both Pinto and Klose have improved over the season.
I was pleased to see CJ got the MotM award from PD, but I was also impressed by Naismith and he has become much more of a grafter in the last few games.Let's hope the 'green shoots of recovery' continue when we travel to Cardiff on Saturday and we don't have another 'no show!!!'

 

We have Wigan away to worry about first on Tuesday JM

 

I think you'll find that is now scheduled for 7th Feb as Wigan are still involved in the FA Cup, unlike Loserpool etc.

 

Indeed - extra time at Old Trafford this afternoon would be just the ticket!!

 

If it goes to a replay, then our match would be rearranged again!!!

 

I only heard the match, but it sounded like Klose was off his game at times in the first half, but improved as the match went on and his goal obviously helped. Pinto has improved hugely, though he still gets caught out at times defensively, but even that is improving. Judging by his comments at the presser, he's really settled in well now within what he calls the 'Norwich City Family'. The same can be said for Naismith, not only for his play, but for his leadership up front as well. Yes he did miss chances, but none of them were easy. Jerome was my MotM and Oliveira is going to have to work hard to try to get his starting place back after his suspension - lesson learned maybe?

 

When we start winning away from home I will dare to believe in a play off spot.
We had luck on our side scoring after the ball cannoned off Ruddy's bar on the break and our defensive cock ups went unpunished.
The fact that we are creating chances is positive even if they are often fluffed.

 

Even I as one of AN's biggest critics have to admit that we haven't had the rub of the green recently, so you could argue that it's about time we (he) had a bit of luck.
