Darwen Rover 007

Well that was a bit of a rollercoaster game!! When I saw the teams before the game, I said to my son's.. looks like its the end of our unbeaten home run.. they started off really well and we edged back into the game (along with help for Lenihan).. typical achilles heel for us trying to hold onto a lead late on... Tony has to review the tactic of sitting back.. there has to be another way.. Some highlighted thoughts on players from me: Reed - this guy looks immense, should be playing CDM with either Evans or Bennett for me! Lenihan - worst game in some time, the more I see him play the more I think he is more suited to be a CDM, the way he flies in, he can afford to do that with someone behind him if he cocks up?! Brereton - I'm a bit confused by what our strategy is with this guy.. is he gonna be a attacking wide striker or are we helping him learn his trade to be the main man in the future? Bell - Definitely going forward than defending Nyambe - this lad has made great progress and I honestly didn't think he had it in him.. so big well done! Dack - exceptional at times, personally don't think he's good enough for any premier league teams.. But he was great at times. Overall Ok with the point both Mike everyone else disappointed given the position we were in.. positive signs again and I think with a few more windows we will be a very good team!

I'm surprised Ben didn't get on the pitch yesterday...

Reality check that the gap between league 1 and championship is pretty monumental! Our decent start has been against average (At best teams) Brentford aside.. We can't afford to carry people in this league, our best team should be playing, the minimum requirement to get into the match day squad should be attitude and legs. Without both of these we may as well be a man down which will result in only one thing! One of the things I have noticed with Tony is he needs a defeat to change things and generally tends to stick rather than twist when we get draws and wins irrespective of the individual performance. Case being Rothwell / Smallwood.

We should have buried our chances

Which channel is the game on please chaps? Sorry if already posted

My team would be: Raya Nyambe Mulgrew Lenihan Bell Bennett Evans Palmer Dack Rothwell Armstrong (if fit) Brereton if not

Anyone know if Chapman is expected to be loan only or loan with buy?

I'm not for one minute saying I know better than Tony and his team, I'm just intrigued to understand what his attributes or even his potential attributes are..

Fair comment I suspect our management team and others who were interested have seen something that separates him from the crowd

Initially really excited about Brereton but after watching highlights there's nothing in there that makes me think.. Ok he has got something?! Ps probably the difference between why TM is whee he is and I'm where I am but just my thoughts..

Another great attitude and lots of potential

Some good feedback reading the Norwich forums back!

Really impressive player... will only get better

Brererereton lol Not even on bench for Forest?

Great performance well done lads.. special mentions to... Evans - immense again Bennett - the guy has an unbelievable engine Bell and Nyambe - both played very well Rothwell - always looks to make things happen I think Nuttall was a complete waste of time.. lack of effort and push

I suspect that's career over for Smallwood.. he was immense for us for the first 60% of last season but think his head gasket has gone and doubt he'll play for us again in the league

What's the latest with Maddison??

How's Travis playing? Fully expecting to concede a few in the 90th minute!???

I actually think getting players in on loan proving themselves and then getting a perm deal is a really good approach.. every transfer is a risk and lets be honest we are not in a position to make too many bad calls on players. The other point here is that transfer deadline day purchases can be over inflated.. I would much prefer us to obtain a player in advance of this time if possible. I think a couple of good loan deals with potential to buy will ensure we continue our progression, which based on facts over the last two seasons is, a lower end championship team.. we have to move this position over a period of time it's not going to happen overnight unless we have a huge investor. U think the fact TM miss managers our expectations over the last 10 days or so hasn't been helpful... but maybe he said what he believed and it just didn't come off?! If so he should come and just say that..

If Boro get Bolasie could Chapman become available?

Think Ali has offered very little.. time for loftus cheek

Shame we don't have a bickering filter.. seriously it's tiresome.. live and let live ??

That's very encouraging indeed.. 2 young players in so far .. would be interesting to know how much

I believe season ticket details or available to buy (Not sure which one) will be available from 1st May
