    A great many of our additions over the past few years have credited Russ with the inspiration for their signing, I think that's behind his new contract extension! <ok>

    Many fans and pundits slate him. I have never understood why. I think he is our John Terry.

    Not about his CB performances or anything, but his attitude, his personality, his devotion, his passion. That is all John Terry.

    A report from our game against Bielefeld (after Jack's prattle) - apparently impressed with Basil's goal -

    Well done Jack! :emoticon-0137-clapp

    Even from the very start, he seemed like he could do this. He has earned it.

    Thing is. It makes me laugh. People like him saying: "We all said new start, clean slate, but they are booing after 40 minutes!?"

    Then asked- We did this again, did it work? "No, obviously not!"

    ...Right, so just carry on doing this again then?! Or should we say it doesn't work?!

    We all wanted a fresh start, but it isn't is it!? Is Just Norwich with a few new names that just do the same, but with cheaper players!

    Well, all I can say is that I noticed against Brum and Jack reiterated it yesterday - our CBs are starting to win headers defensively and I'm sure if we can keep grinding out a win by the odd goal MOST fans will accept that. When we get our wounded back in the shape of Basil (sorry canario, but I'm not alone in preferring him to CJ!!) and then AP should return in time for the glut of games over the Xmas period; I'm hoping that we'll pose more of a threat offensively.

    Jack was also full of praise for Trybull and Stiepermann.

    Oliveira may score more goals, but if you look back at the season so far then more often than not (75%) if Jerome starts we score and it's often Oliveira who benefits when he comes on fresh as a sub to play against tiring defences who have been softened up by Jerome. Whereas when Oliveira starts we have only scored in half the games (50%). Football is a team game it's never as simple as which individual scores. Farke understands this and hopefully he's educating Oliveira. Jerome understands this which is why he gets nearly as many assists as he does goals I suspect AP will score many more goals with Jerome playing up front than Oliveira.

    I agree with that, Canario, but CJ is also a much stronger in away games (just as well with 3 of the next 4 games away). Oliveira's technical skills make him the better option against packed defenses at home though.

    I think the reason why Jerome is stronger in away games is because of the way we play away. As a single front man for a team playing counter attacking football Jerome is a much better option than Oliveira. I've never said Oliveira doesn't have a role to play, but the criticism of Jerome has been over done and many can only see the negatives in his game and ignore the positives, whilst with Oliveira people tend to only see the positives of his play and generally ignore the negatives.

    Pretty much sums up what I've been saying, what everyone was saying coming out of the ground. Wonder why the Manager isn't aware of it.





    Made me laugh the "Watkins came on, I didn't even realise he was on" I said exactly that to my cousin. Suddenly it was like "Is that Watkins!? When did he come on??"

    Some more info about the new signing.

    The Klopp quote is exciting.
