    Was listening to a football league podcast today. They mentioned how Rowett said Carson is the best keeper outside the Premiership and is in contention for an England place! (Idiot)

    The pundits then talked about the best keepers outside of the Prem. They mentioned about 7. Including the Ipswich keeper!

    No-one mentioned Gunn!! Despite the season he's having and actually got called up for England! I was shouting at the podcast! Typical "Little Norwich".

    They stole him from us, and he is outside the Premiership. Other loan Keepers were mentioned.

    Commentators keep talking about Norwich lack of cutting edge.

    They mentioned us losing the creativity of Pritchard. Haven't mentioned so far we just sold one of only 2 strikers and now only have 1 striker at the club. But you get the impression it's what they are basically saying.

    Everyone but the board/Webber.

    Basil has to be everywhere and do everything. He's the only striker in the club. He can't do everything and be everywhere. When Josh Crossed it, I expected no-one to be anywhere near it. That's how we play.

    "they have also let a lot of players go, will be interesting how they work out this season. They have only bought 1 in...on loan"

    Can these commentators be our board? 2 games, and they know all the sh*t in our squad straight away. Coz it's so blatant.

    Like the first game. Defending well. Offering nothing going forward, obviously. You can't score with defenders! I did not expect 0-0 at HT. That's.....good? F*cking boring, we look embarrassing again. But 0-0 at HT at Chelski :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Why don't we defend like this against sides like Wolves and Derby at home!? Play and set up like this, we would draw both 0-0. 2 extra points

    He's been ok. he's had to pull out long shots and individual stuff. Coz there is no other option/striker. It's "do it all, or we are f**ked." So he must have to shoot from anywhere.

    Under the cosh early on, but grew into the game. Chelsea had a lot of shots but only Drinkwater's was close, hitting the bar, but Oliveira did the same, then had another chance. Have to think Chelsea will win it in the end, but we're making them work for it.

    Even if we had another striker, you honestly think we'd play 2 upfront?
