Welcome to Glenn Roeder!
HONESTLY I really doubt we have a chance on this Sunday, if we perform liked last Saturday against West Brom. I am quite sure if a non-league team liked Hitchin Town come to play against us, we will still going to lose.
I am only satisfy about what Darren Huckerby and substitute Lee Croft's effort in last Saturday afternoon. Hucks show to me he knows he is playing for a losing team, because you see he battle for the ball which is very unusual to him, and Croft just try his best; but other players, which I will go to see them training later, are definitely out of interest, especially Jimmy Smith and Luke Chadwick, I think I am better than them because I had heart to play for my club, and I know my team is losing.
You cannot being mislead about Ian Murray and Jason Shackell are playing well, in fact it's not, because we have nothing on the attack and from midfield, so our defenders are the busiest and it look liked they play well, if they play well they won't conceded two goals, especially the second goal, definitely Shackell's fault to lose his man Kevin Philips.
I am so sorry to say Jason Shackell never like a captain. If you want to be so quiet on the field, also to the fans, please go to the Colney canteen to play ping-pong with someone. I won't mind if the players always listen to my instructions on the pitch, but I will do my job first. If you are shy to talk on the pitch, please give the armbands back to someone who can talk.
Finally the Short corner tactics. I am trurly sick to see that on lastSaturday, because the West Brom players see it and intercept it! Why? WHY? WHY? Just kick the ball into the box and maybe, maybe their players will score an own goal! Do you think before they do something?
THIS IS surely not my best trip to Norwich. Yesterday I go to the reserves against Southend United. Before the game at around 2pm, I get the Southend United team news, know that their club captain Kevin Maher, former Norwich City right-back Che Wilson and Simon Francis all playing; but ourself? Just Julien Brellier as the first team player! You know you are definitely going to be struggling, as we do.
Southend United play more attractive football than us from the minute one, they like to use the low ball and I have to say, Tottenham Hotspur reject Kevin Maher is their main man, also exactly what we are currently losing in midfield. Well we get to a flying start in the first minute after Robert Eagle quite luckily, scored directly from the corner, then our left-back scored a deflected free-kick just outside the box, 2-0, but after that it's all Southend. I have questioned with fellow Canaries fans Nigel, who sit besides me, why when we have possession to attack, we have only 3 players in the Southend half? There is nobody from our midfield seems to push on?
They scored 4 goals in the space of 35 minutes, well to be fair, they scored all the goals from open day and our marking is absolutely awful. Goalkeeper Matthew Gilks has absolutely no chance to even get a hand to touch, but I should mention if Robert Eagle can score from the 1-on-1 when we are still leading 2-1, our luck may change.
In the second half we fight back, only for short period of time as right winger-turn-striker Luke Daley get the third goal but that's it, we are unable to get the fourth goal as they scored in the 80th minutes, after our defence try to play the off-side trap and every defenders are sleeping. The final score is 3-5 and I just cannot believe that: I watch 3 first team game and 2 reserves, my record is 100% -- LOSING! What's going wrong with me?
I cannot sleep well yesterday and I can sleep after 4:30am, after watching the 'Big League Weekend' from Sky Sports, they show all the Championship, League One and League Two goals. Good to see former Norwich City captain Matt Jackson on the show and he is currently on loan to Blackpool from Watford.
TODAY WHEN I wake up at 8:30am in the morning, BBC Radio Norfolk say a new manager will be in at Carrow Road at 9am; so I do not have any breakfast and go to Carrow Road, of course I cannot attend the press conference, but hope to get some news and may see the manager.
Thanks Lisa in the Canary Store, I know it's Glenn Roeder will take charge Norwich City at 8:45am, because his car is just parking outside the Canary Store; I say before in the messageboard it won't be Paul Jewell, because a player tell me we cannot afford him, also not Martin Allen because he doesn't like him! Answer on the messageboard about whose the player is.
I don't have chance to speak to Glenn Roeder and hopefully tomorrow is the date, Oh! I suppose not to say that! Anyway good luck to Glenn and thanks to Andrew Cullen, he allows me to attend the press conference, which I think for the fans, I am exactly not really allow to, although in a shortage of time. Thank you Andrew. So whose the new coaching team Glenn will bring in?
