"I am not getting involved with conjecture, but if anyone made a concrete offer for any of my players, then they would know before anyone else."

"But football is the beautiful game because if the little guy is good enough and clever enough then he can beat the big guy. And there aren't too many team games like that..." Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:07:54 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4181 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4181 As a result, to Stanley's reckoning, City have now got five players (Cureton, Lupoli, Koroma, Lita and Hoolahan) who can fill the 'little man up front' role, but only one player who can fill the 'big man up front role' (Siberski). Four of whom also happen to be loanees... Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:46:05 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4180 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4180 "The lads are very disappointed that they've managed to win 2-1 in the end. But we've got to bounce back from that - and look forward rather than behind us," said the City new-boy. "We've just got to learn from the mistakes. We're going into a break now; we've got to re-group; everybody get-together and kick on for the Bristol game... Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:22:12 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4179 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4179 "Him [Fotheringham] being the professional that he is - and he is a terrific professional - when he was told that he wasn't starting in the team, he accepted the decision and admitted that he hadn't been at his best recently... It's now up to him to fight his way back into the team and, as I say, Sammy Clingan came in and did particularly well." Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:59:05 GMT http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4178 http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4178 "Unfortunately we switched off - which hasn't been happening of late. And an experienced Premiership defender switched off - OK, he was unlucky with the deflection, but it was a poor goal really. A poor goal," said Magilton, with Volz left with some explaining to do on his ever-entertaining blog. Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:10:40 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4177 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4177 "As well as he [Marshall] did for us last year, he's kicked on and been an even better goalkeeper so far this season," said Roeder. "And the first mistake he's made, he's been punished for... David made the wrong decision to come out on that long, through-ball when Adam [Drury] had things under control and we've been wounded. Badly wounded." Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:31:32 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4176 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4176 Fotheringham's exit was not the only change of major note with Adam Drury reported to be the one handed the centre-half gig next to Elliot Omosuzi. All of which found Ryan Bertrand returning to his usual full-back beat - allowing Omar Koroma to keep his starting place, albeit away out on the left. Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:46:58 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4175 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4175 All things considered, only Darel Russell, Lee Croft and especially David Marshall can really claim to have cut the mustard recently, whilst Omar Koroma can be quite content with his performance on his full league debut for the Canaries on Tuesday night despite missing a couple of sitters. Fri, 03 Oct 2008 21:59:46 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4174 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4174 "I had a look at everything and I spoke with my people, my friends, my family. And they all said it was a good thing for me to come down here and play - it's a good club," said loan signing No9. "And I spoke to Alex Pearce who was here last season on loa and he really enjoyed it. And he said: 'Go down there... you'll really enjoy it...' So I'm here." Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:13:41 GMT http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4173 http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4173 "I have no doubt in my mind he would still be a Charlton player if he could stay fit, something his injury record suggested wouldn't happen," said Pardew. "Since he's gone, he's probably played every game and trained every day! He's always been an outstanding player and I hope he has a nice return on Saturday - but doesn't get a win." Fri, 03 Oct 2008 15:55:19 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4172 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4172 "I think they'll recognise the problems that we have with injuries in the obvious position which is central defence - and with Stefanovic suspended," said Roeder this morning, as the Norfolk side look to shake Tuesday night's 2-0 reverse at St Mary's out of their system. "And I think they will recognise that and I'd like to think that tomorrow they'll get behind us more that they normally do... Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:38:08 GMT http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4171 http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4171 Is this any way to treat the great man? Alf thinks not and urges all Town supporters to waste no time in getting the van moved back to its rightful place in the car park. Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:00:43 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4170 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4170 Do it that way, however, and again you avoid triggering that 16 million bank repayment; flood some unissued shares into the system and those numbers can be made to work; you can get there without giving either HBOS or AXA a sniff. Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:49:58 GMT http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4169 http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4169 "At the moment Moritz is obviously a doubt for the weekend - but he has certainly not been ruled out yet," Town physio Matt Byard told the club's official site today. "He did some very positive work this morning and we expect him to step up his workload on Friday. We will then have an idea on whether or not he will be available for selection." Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:18:22 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4168 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4168 The final option might be to ask Sammy Clingan to step in alongside Omosuzi. That, at least, eases the whole loan calculation front - but opens up a whole new can of worms with regard to the returning star's international availability for Northern Ireland's forthcoming crunch World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on October 11. Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:08:55 GMT http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4167 http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4167 Town were much better right from the start after the break and it was Barnsley who suddenly appeared fragile. A swift counter attack an hour into the game saw Owen Garvan and Pablo Counago exchange passes for the young Irish maestro to fire home and clinch the points. Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:29:36 GMT http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4166 http://ipswichtown.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4166 "The result was far more important than the performance," said the Town chief. "We set very high standards at this club and we know we have fallen a little short of that. It wasn't great but we showed great character and determination. Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:10:32 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4165 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4165 Lita last featured from the start in the 2-2 Carling Cup draw at Stoke City in which Henry bagged a double on September 23rd. The fact that Reading could travel to Molineux last night and halt the Woles band-wagon in its tracks with that 3-0 success - and all with Lita nowhere to be seen - suggests that in the likes of the prolific Kevin Doyle and his fellow Irishman Noel Hunt, Coppell feels he has his strike bases covered.
