Looking beyond next week we could have a GK problem. I don't think McGovern will be here by the end of the window. Farke clearly does not rate him and sitting on the bench of a Championship side is not doing his International credentials any good at all. Unfortunately he is too short for a GK. He will not be on a huge wage and his future probably lies in Scotland. Our 3rd choice keeper is out of contract at the end of the season and is already on loan to Exeter. Would be no surprise if that was made a permanent move in this window leaving us with Angus and 2 even younger keepers. Happy with that? I'm not and I would be even unhappier if Angus picked up an injury. The Club also have to keep one eye on the future as there is no guarantee of keeping Angus next season. Apart from perhaps up front - and that applies whether Basil stays or goes - cannot see that we have desperate problems anywhere else. Slightly different take - anybody knows what the hell has happened to Jarvis? He surely can't be still injured.
I was annoyed when we signed McGovern. Off the back of 1 World cup bid of about 4 games.

Slightly more aggressive than usual. I like it.

Although, still glaze over club/team problems. You think that even if Nelson doesn't leave, we are good up front and good in attack? Have you watched any games this season? Even if we keep Jerome and Nelson. That is not enough to keep us up, now Pritchard has gone. Jerome has totally lost it, Nelson has no confidence. When he does get selected. DF seems to not like him anyway.

From watching us this season. I don't look at the side and think: GK is the reason we aren't playing football or getting results. If only we had a GK, we'd be up there competing for the title!

Relegated? We ain't that bolloxed yet. by the end of the window I might agree, but if Tettey stays fit we can bumble along mid table no problem.

Bah!

Living in Nice does make it difficult to attend many games but you have misread what I said. I did in fact say that we HAVE problems up front whether Basil stays or goes. From what I have seen, heard and read, Basil brings nothing to the team and whilst Cameron works his socks off he isn't, never was and never will be, a goal scorer. He will also be 32 at the start of next season so his work rate might well start to drop.

"It's a game we're looking forward to. We'll have a slightly different group to that night, with the likes of Todd Cantwell moving up and Adam Phillips going out on loan.

That's how I read it anyway. Catwell had wanted a loan move earlier, but may be just as happy to be with the senior team.

He's now showing as No 36 in the 1st team squad - https://www.canaries.co.uk/Teams/First-Team/. Great move for the lad and let's hope he gets his chance even as a sub soon!! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

NOTE - The under 23 game v Newcastle is at Colney on Sunday with a 12pm kick-off.
You could take the gf FML and it's only just up the road!!! <laugh>

PS - See post [HASHTAG]#597[/HASHTAG] on Tuesday!! <ok>

I think that is what we all see. And have seen for a few seasons now. Nothing ever changes.

I am sure we will need it next window as well, and the window after.
 
We are not far off that sh*t. Losing Pritchard. We are closer to it than the start of the window.

We'e played the majority of the season without Pritchard and are midtable, whilst he gave us a small chance of a lift out of an Ipswichesque midtable malaise. Tettey is far more critical. If we lose Madders to injury or transfer then I'm with you but, we ain't that bad yet.

Bah!

Yes we did, and we were f*cking awful!

Pritchard came back and him and madders dragged us through the awful tactics.

So we have to see if Madders gets injured? If he does, I'm right, but the windows shut and we cant do anything about it? Sounds like a great plan. Are you on the Norwich Board?

He has been on the bench before this season so no reason why he shouldn't do so again. At last we have a manager taking a long term view by bringing on young players. It's good for the whole squad.

Are we still discussing Cantwell or have we gone back to Quim ?

He's not 20 until the end of next month!!

But we were awful and midtable!

I to doubt Farkes tactics and having lost Pritchard but gained money I'd be pretty disappointed if Webber and Farke don' deliver at least two players better able than the current bunch to play his way. If we lose good players, we need to see squad progress towards a better functioning team.
Not holding my breath though!

Bah!

It is good and I won't knock it entirely, but it's not like he has any choice. Between senior players under performing or injured and players brought in not making the grade, what's he left with? You could argue that with Gofrey out on loan he has ignored one of our best younguns to play Tettey and someone elses loanee.

Bah!
