  1. He used the Carabao Cup to give fringe / young players a run out. He kept with that policy against West Ham and Notts Forest - we beat West Ham's strong side, but not Forest's. I have no problem with that. He's clearly treating the FA cup as a more premium competition - which it is as the prize money per round is significant.
  2. He didn't get on - JDT brought on Hedges for Vale as we were hanging on at the end.
  3. We're hardly flooded with options upfront. If we don't bring anyone in during this window he'll get game time. There's clearly a player in there.
  4. I still think Kaminski is a better all-round GK.
  5. Did they create a clear cut chance? Maybe the fluffed header from the corner, but otherwise it was all hopeful shots.
  6. He never looked destined for the Premier League, but it's true that he can't play in this system. He isn't good enough on the ball.
  7. He was excellent against Blackpool. He was subbed at half time against West Ham. Bearing in mind how many players have come on leaps and bounds under JDT I'm inclined to believe he's handling A. Wharton correctly - he is only 18.
  8. Weird thing to presume there's a grudge.
  9. This ref has given us nothing. I've lost count of the number of times our players have been bowled over without a free kick.
  10. On the contrary JDT clearly believes Wharton is a brilliant player, but he's 18 with maturity issues.
  11. We've literally had to sub Carter cos he's on a yellow. Thanks ref.
  12. Nah he's being bullied upfront. Needs to hold the ball up better than he currently is doing.
  13. Pukki is a terrific player at this level. He makes incredible runs.
  14. I see the ESPN+ app is down - always bloody happens to our games.
  15. Fantastic save by Pears that. Is it me or have most of our players improved dramatically under JDT?
  16. You can see why he's not got game time though, he's not tracking back at all to help out Carter.
  17. Apparently Norwich are slowly starting to turn the screw in front of their own fans according to this commentator - which is an entirely different game to the one I'm watching.
  18. He's tidy with the ball at his feet but he's brushed off it too easily and his workrate leaves something to be desired. There's a player in there somewhere.
  19. Why's that not a penalty for handball??!
  20. Aren't a lot of the early deals completely untried youngsters on loan from the Premier League? Maybe we want permanents? Or a better quality of loan at least.
  21. You can expand that to most sports to be honest. Unless you're a player or a front line coach / executive you're taking a discount on your salary for the love of the game.
  22. I think they were both cheap punts late in the window - remember Broughton and JDT didn't have a great deal of time to bring players in, we were literally trying to fill out a squad at that point. The two players JDT wanted to bring with him from Malmo went elsewhere for more money. ( Ahmedhodzic and Colak) This is a big window in my opinion because it'll show how much influence Broughton has on proceedings. We NEED to sell Brereton-Diaz and re-invest that money - has he earned enough respect from the Venky's now to convince them to do this at a reasonable price? Time will tell (also that 20% profit clause on Brereton-Diaz's deal is absurd after paying £7m for him - Mowbray got his pants pulled down).
