9 points out of 12!

I APOLOGISE for missing to write this column in last three weeks, because of heavy work load (9 hours work plus OT!)and football commitment, but of course I still manage to support and listen all the Norwich City match LIVE commentary. Honestly it's a bit tougher to listen the midweek game now, because the time about kick off, from 2:45am before, delay to 3:45am, that means the game finish at 5:45am, which I feel more harder if I need to sleep. Anyway I will still continue to listen Norwich game because I love that, although my memory will be suffer at the next day!

What a turnaround after the international break, Norwich City get 9 points out of 12, also manage to get a victory away from home, which is absolutely unbelievable! It is not the champion's form, but surely not a relegation form either. Keep it up the Canaries.

Of course we have to look at the realistic situation, we are still down there -- the bottom three, which we need to get it out as soon as possible. I won't mind if we cannot perform away from home, as long as we can pick up maximum points at Carrow Road. Two wins out of last two home games, also scored two goals each, which is a good sign.

I won't judge Glenn Roeder is the good manager or not at this moment, but one thing for sure is he get much better contact than the previous two managers. You can't imagine quality and Premiership players liked Martin Taylor, Matty Pattison, Mo Camara and Ched Evans can join us before Glenn take charge. Those players are not super stars, but they are hunger for action, also give competition places in the team. It's great to see Ched Evan scored his first goal for Norwich City against Plymouth yesterday.

I don't know can we hold on to those loan players until the end of the season, but I am sure if we unluckily cannot, Glenn still will bring different kinds of quality to this football club, which is important.

You always expected the worst, but if the thing is improved a little bit, you will feel a bit joy of that. I say we may not be here next season, but we just need to fight for our life, fight for the 21st spot. It's December now so that's less than 5 months left to correct our situation. We can do it!!!

THIS FRIDAY evening will be the first meeting of the "Hong Kong Canaries" after I come back from Norwich City. During last few months, we get a few new members inclued David who post a message here, so I can say we guarantee the size of the supporter club will expand. In the FA Cup 3rd round we will play against Bury, the League Two mid-table side, which is not looking good the game will be LIVE in Hong Kong, especially the kick off time is in 3pm.

Let's hope we can get pass the potential banana skin and go to the 4th round draw, and then, we may have a chance to be on the tele again! A good Cup run will always boost your players confidence.

LAST COLUMN I mention Adam Drury has sent a messge to me on facebook, last week that's another Canary, of course you know it's him, Gary Holt send me a message. Holty still remember he will send me his Wycombe and Norwich City shirts! Good memory Gary, but I still not receive it yet, haha! Anyway I will wait for that. :-)

This Saturday against fellow struggler Sheffield United at Carrow Road, would be another great encounter! Let's back the Canaries together!

Hi Tom, you must subscribe "Canaries World" from http://www.canaries.co.uk to listen the LIVE commentary if you live outside England, that's the only way you want to follow Norwich City. You cannot listen BBC online radio our Norwich game commentary, hope this helps.

David, you're not passing comment on Roeder yet and that is fair enough but I believe that you're being a little modest in not mentioning the impact you had on the squad during your
'flying' visit last month.

The recent turn of form may look, from the outside, like the work of Glenn gradually taking affect but surely the credit needs to head in your direction?

Your visit did not allow you to celebrate victories on the pitch but it did allow you to weave some of your man magement 'magic' and install some confidence within the players during your Colney pep talks.

Afterall, do you think it is purely an act of selfless kindness that the club provide you with special access to the players? No, the club knew that you could help hault the slide and offer some tactically advice to the players with the help of your games console.

David, we salute you and, in a years time, when the 'magic' wears off you'll be needed back to re-supply the squad so get planning the next trip now.

Sing along: "there's only one XXL, one XXL, walking along, singing a song, walking in an XXL wonderland"...

Hi barclayprince, thanks for the song and it's one of the most brilliant reply I have received in this blog. Thanks for your warm words and support, yeah I would like to visit to Colney again next time and say Hello to Glenn! I miss to meet him during my last trip! Thanks again! :)
