I'm not a great Howson fan, he does a "Redmond" far to often for me! Pritchard is far more proactive, but it doesn't seem that the manager likes him for some reason, a la, Ryan Bennett.
Another challenge for AN ahead is whether or not he hangs on to Brady in Jan window. There may be others who consider themselves too good for NCFC but Brady, by his lack of desire, has made it clear he wants out. I would not be upset if he went as there will be others to take his place. Going to Sunderland might be a mistake as we might be passing them on the way up as they go down
I have to agree CS and his attitude and desire definitely seems to be lacking in recent games. I for one feels that Pritchard offers far more in terms of desire and bringing others into the game.
Perhaps he thinks he can motivate him but it is clearly not working. Olsson looks like another who wants out but at least he does make an effort most of the time?
But is the problem with Brady or AN. Very few, if any of our players have performed to their full potential all season.
I can't argue with you there carrow and n, I dn't believe many of our players have played at their best on more than a few occasions. I would single out Klose and Jerome who have done well whenever I've seen them in home games, but most of the others - no!!! When Hoolahan and Pritchard started together, Hoolahan was brilliant, but I don't think he's done much since and the few times I've seen Pritchard play, he certainly seems up for the challenge.
Let's hope this comes to fruition, it certainly needs to! http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...ill_sort_out_their_defensive_issues_1_4746751
Did you not read this bit? “It’s frustrating but we will get it sorted,” asserted the City goalkeeper. “We’ll work hard on it and when we do get it sorted, we’ll be in a good position because there are goals in our team. “So if we can tighten up defensively, which we’ll work on, then we’re going to be a formidable force.
Yes! That's just the same crap they say every week!! HOW are they going to tighten it up defensively??? HOW are they going to work harder???
There weren't many goals in the team on Saturday even with 2 up front for the last half hour ! I'll reserve judgement for now but Basil looked dreadful, I hope he doesn't turn out to be yet another waste of money
Basil's first couple of touches looked good but after that he seemed well out of it with little finesse and a poor contribution. I expect he'll start against Feeds tomorrow night - he needs game time to get sharp and match fit. It's too early to judge him as we haven't seen enough of him to see his true worth but he didn't do much to impress me on Saturday.
Well, after deciding to start with Brady and Tettey tonight, I am LIVID!!! As far as I am concerned, he can leave whenever he wants. With AN in charge, I don't envisage we'll even make the play-offs and I would love us to get rid of Bassong, Naismith and Whittaker in January
I would say AN's job is under serious pressure at the moment, but it was worse than this over social media, and Hughton still stayed on for about another Seasons worth of games... I don't think AN is going anywhere, but I think he is nearly over the tipping point of losing the fans. Carrow Road could start to turn toxic.
