This a joke? Plus it's 'could HAVE' not OF you thicky
If only we had a lethal striker, cant moan though as we have the ground and it could of been a choice between the 2 who knows. Fingers crossed we are there or there abouts in January and can get a proper striker in.

It would be criminal if he wasnt the amount of chances created for him. He was miles off it Saturday and that sitter he missed against Oxford in the last minute.Haji is top scorer in the league ffs, and Torp is 4th what more do you want??
Wright’s biggest skill is making the runs to get those chances, they don’t just fall into his lapIt would be criminal if he wasnt the amount of chances created for him. He was miles off it Saturday and that sitter he missed against Oxford in the last minute.
He also knew how to adjust once Simmo came on. He's a very clever player.Wright’s biggest skill is making the runs to get those chances, they don’t just fall into his lap
I agree and it's hard to compare eras because the game is so different and certainly faster, but teams like Liverpool and Villa won the league in the 80's using something like 13/14 players all season (only 1 sub allowed). Back then you could pretty much get away with assault on the pitch and get a yellow at most, so how they didn't pick up injuries I'll never understand. Today we have the best facilities, top nutrition, fantastic playing surfaces, the balls are lighter, the boots are lighter and the game more technical. There are more interceptions than tackles and yet injuries are common place and we're thinking a 23 man squad is light. Hopefully, being out of the cup, we can continue with our strongest first 11 and a couple of subs to supplement.Yes it's great to watch but my biggest worry is this, we're not going to go the whole season without getting injuries, and then what.
Hope we get to Jan relatively unscathed and in touch with the top 2 and tell Doug he needs to get his wallet out if he wants us to get autosYes it's great to watch but my biggest worry is this, we're not going to go the whole season without getting injuries, and then what.

A lot of those old players were crippled by having their knees and ankles pumped with steroid injections.I agree and it's hard to compare eras because the game is so different and certainly faster, but teams like Liverpool and Villa won the league in the 80's using something like 13/14 players all season (only 1 sub allowed).

I don’t think Norwich defended well. We missed SO many chances. That’s on us not on their defensive master class. I’d even say efforts where there are last gasp defensive blocks, while they look good/heroic, mean that something has gone awry defensively at some point.No, but the problem is we *didn't*! We dominated possession and had loads of shots, very few of which were on target, from which we scored once. Norwich defended much deeper than QPR or Derby and crowded us out. The tiki-taki passing in the box only works when the defence go AWOL like QPR's.
xG is irrelevant.
Until we turn that dominance into goals, we ain't getting out of this league!
I had those in my ankle and they said a maximum of 3. When I first had it brilliant, lasted nearly 6 months, the second about 6 weeks and the last one not really worth having, so it was a case of diminishing returns. My surgeon told me though, that any more than 3 and it would be too weak for him to operate on in the future. Medical has moved on in the 20 odd years since, but I still went by his advice and now have it fused.Here's a piece about steroid injections back in the 60s and 70s. Tommy Smith of Liverpool is probably the most well known story
"There is a story about Allan McGraw, one of the great legends of Scottish football, that the Greenock Morton striker had 25 injections in his knees in one season alone in the 1960s. It never occurred to him at the time why his club took him to a different doctor in Glasgow for each one but now that he walks with a stick it is obvious. No doctor would have permitted one man to have so many cortisone jabs."
To inject or not to inject? That is the question for Gerrard and
England's qualification for Euro 2008 could depend on a cortisone injection. Which makes the issue a complex one, writes Sam Wallacewww.independent.co.uk
so many people have been stung by leaving early and missing an equaliser/winner - at last they've learnt to stay!!Hope you're right, but didn't appear so. Nice to see so many still there when we scored though. A lot of places would be half empty if losing 6 mins into injury time.
