Yeah, wow amzing lollness, prison, yeah M 11111!!!!

There is a virtual court in Kent I believe.

I don't understand the first post.

Women can't pull their hamstring. It's a footballing injury. HTH.

I agree largely, except it could still be a decent season. I, for one, have dreamed of winning the Jonstone's Paint Trophy for quite some time now.

Yes, agreed, except I'd say second goal was as much Davis' fault as the midfield's. Haven't checked the match stats but can't really remember Davis having a save to make so the defence must've been doing something right. People shouldn't confuse Norwich having lots of possession with the back four playing badly.

Dunno. Will wait until I've seen him play a bit more. Probably neither given that: a) Camara was an excellent Premier League quality player; and b) Ali Dia was a joke.

Yeah, it really helps. Thanks. I was worried you were going to just post a monotonous, borish, dumb-headed, one-track piece of drivel. But, no! Instead you really helped.

Absolutely. Thought Docherty was the best opposition player I've seen this season.

It was a strange call to retake it. "Strange" meaning, "completely wrong".

She wields sod all power. This is a low-profile stitch up. If they'd wanted someone to wield power, Blair would've been the Pres.

was used after Antonio went off. What did those who saw the game think? Certainly it suited Lallana and Connolly was able to link with him really well. We looked dangerous. On the other hand, we probably defended too narrowly. Thought it was quite a brave call by Pards but was surprised we didn't change to a 4-5-1 later.

Yes, it must. Absolutely. Must indeed. Musty, musty, must.

They're out in force tonight!

Clueless.

Nah, he was good.

Exactly (and some missed chances first half). There was nothing inherently wrong with the defence today. KD didn't really have a save to make, goals aside, despite their possession.

I agree but don't think that reflects our play today at all. Against Charlton and Brighton I agree, we were one dimensional, but today we used it pretty well.

I think we're all agreed that mid-table is the likely finish.

Anyone who truly thinks we might go down is acting like a complete pussy IMO.

Trotman was good today.

I expect he is. I expect he's also planning to put Murty back in the team when he's fit. HTH.

I've just decided my 8 for Trotman was too high. Should be a 7. Docherty deserved an 8 for them. Too good for League One.

Ok, firstly it's Connolly. Secondly, congrats to both teams on producing an excellent match in awful weather. Some ratings: KD - 5 - Unlucky with the penalty. Didn't really have much to do, despite Norwich's second half possession they hardly managed an effort on goal. Unfortunately he appeared to mess up the one thing he did have to do, but it can't have been easy in that weather. LJ - 5 - Was having a decent game until the stupid challenge for the first goal. Sat too deep when moved to the base of the diamond. Trotman - 8 - Got on the end of everything. Couple of sloppy moments but overall, very good. Jaidi - 7 - Mostly in control. Harding - 6 - Decent but at fault, like many of the team for sitting off his man too much in second half. Antonio - 5 - Couple of decent runs but plenty of sloppiness too. Shouldn't start unless the other team has a pants left back IMO. Hammond - 7 - Provided a lot more bite than last week. Scheiderlin - 7 - Decent game but just needs to get a bit more offensive confidence when playing in a central two. Actually looked good going forwards when moved into the left of the diamond. Lallana - 8 - Quality. Team mates can give him the ball under pressure and know he will use it well. Very well taken goal. Connolly - 9 - MOM. First time he's looked properly match fit IMO and was the best player on the pitch. Dropped off short and always wanted the ball. Made us play better than the one dimensional stuff against Charlton and Brighton. Brilliant goal too. Lambert - 5 - Docherty did well against him. Was unlucky with a couple of touches. We should have wrapped this up in the first half. Unfortunately we didn't and a couple of errors let us down. Don't listen to anyone going over the top about throwing points away blah, blah, blah. Apart from the errors we actually soaked up the pressure pretty comfortably and looked likely to get one on the break. We played well. Norwich played well in the second half. It was a good match.

Lol - whilst I don't doubt FIFA would prefer France, Portugal etc in the finals than Ireland and Bosnia I don't buy this for one moment. If that was the case then why not simply give the penalty when Anelka went down? It was probably a dive but you see them given.
