If we’re mid table or even 4th bottom that would be a decent point, but we are not and with 9 games to go we are 6 points adrift of safety, call it 7 thanks to our recent back to back 4-0 defeats. So that’s three games just to get out this mess.
We scraped a draw thanks to an OG, we didn’t muster 1 shot on target all night according to the BBC Sport website.
We’re screwed on the pitch, we’re getting screwed off the pitch.
Talk of a statue for DH down at Town a few years back, I hope we never see him again down at Town.

Yeah, I meant a decent point after such a crap start. Despite "scoring" the goal, what elsedid Waghorn do allnight? And Ward for that matter,who seemed to be playing midfield for most of the time he was on.
I'll keep on saying it until it happens, at which time you can all ridicule me, but..... GET HUDLIN ON.
And why did Waghorn take that free kick when Jackson scores that kind of goal from direct free kicks in the B team?
RE: Return of the King - jjamez - 16-03-2023
We both keep asking the same question snoots. Rhodes, Simpson and maybe hudlin offer more than ward and waghorn.
Ward is most likely not going to be here next season, nor waghorn, so does harratt offer any less than them? No, and he's probably going to be second or third striker next season
RE: Return of the King - WakeyTerrier - 16-03-2023
Just listening to post match Radio Leeds programme and it's fair to say most think it was a game of two halves but again I stress that despite it being much better second half we still didn't muster 1 shot on target.
In the first half Norwich were awarded the Freedom of the pitch, we just kept retreating. I get we have to keep it tight but the centre half strolled forward with the ball at one point and we backed off that far he decided to have a pop which our keeper comfortably tipped over the top, but he shouldn't be allowed to get that far forward never getting a shot away.
Second half was better, but i think it more of a case of dragging Norwich down to our level rather than Town upping the game. They were hardly Barcelona in the first half.
I agree that Hudlin/Simpson should be given more of a chance given that Waghorn/Ward and Rhodes have all had a chance and most have failed. Simpson is a big lad and will hold the ball up better and Hudlin is a big lad that will obviously cause problems in the air.
I do think we have a basis for a decent first team in League 1 with Turton, REG, Pearson, Ruffles, Jackson, Boyle, Kasumu, Rudoni, Diarra, Jones, Brodie, Camara, Simpson, Bilokapic, Headley amongst them. Most of the senior players can go and probably will one way or another
RE: Return of the King - Lord Snooty - 16-03-2023
If we go down. If? What am I on abart? When we go down, I'd give Rhodes another pop at League One. Play him alongside Hudlin.
Ooh. Stop press. We have a new scapegoat. It's all Rudoni's fault now.
FFS!

He's not been bad but at the same time he's not been great either.
RE: Return of the King - jjamez - 16-03-2023
Anyone want the answers or do you want a bit more time?
RE: Return of the King - Lord Snooty - 16-03-2023
I've been trying to get the last two tonght, but to no avail.
RE: Return of the King - jjamez - 17-03-2023
which are remaining? i'll think of clues
one you'll kick yourself for, its closer to home than you realise, well for them anyway
the other, not entirely obscure, but no longer there, used to be their star man and won player of the season too
RE: Return of the King - ritchiebaby - 17-03-2023
Could No5 be Carrow Road Stadium? There's mustard in there too, but that'll be just to get us in a pickle.
