FAO SAM

 

 

Sam it looks like you will be our sole correspondent for a question and answer session. I tried logging onto forums but had no look in finding a suitable Norwich one. So if you are willing could you answer the following:

 

1. The appointment of Paul Lambert as manager looks to have paid real dividends so far. What did you think of his appointment and did 'That Colchester' result have any influence on the decision.

p.s Colchester beat Norwich 7-1 at Carrow Road with Lambert in charge.

To begin with I was slightly concerned as we'd had a few managers who had underpreformed and I could see him doing the same but he has one me over and the guy is now a legend.

 

2. With the likes of Morison and Holt up front it appears Norwich prefer the long ball, or old style centre forward play. Is this the case or are you able to adapt styles accordingly?

I think you will be suprised on saturday at the way norwich play. with player such as johnson, fox, hoolahan and crofts we like to play alot of good passing football. yes we scored some good headed goals against newcastle last weekend but i think lambert chose that team to go against newcastle short defensive line.

 

3. The Norwich defence does not appear to have the established, battle hardened, long time pros. Do you think this will have any affect for the rest of the season or will this be addressed in the transfer window?

I would like to see us sign one or two more defenders a steady head so to speak and a back up for ruddy. At this moment in time i cant see us keeping a clean sheet this season!

 

4. What is the normal set up for an away game? We have seen the brave attempts at Stamford Bridge, Anfield and Old Trafford this season. Is this type of performance saved for the 'big boys' and we will see a more reseved appraoch on Saturday?

 

having seen every game one way or another i think at wigan we where to nervous and should have won the game, rightly won at bolton, controlled villa and took the lead but seemed to implode with some defensive errors which have cost us all season. i think we will respect a team of evertons stature but hopefully give you a good run.

 

5. Who has been your stand out player so far this season and who will carry the good start through to the end of the season?

For me it has been Bradley Johnson, tenasious, combative, hardworking great team player.

 

6. Which Everton player do you think would make an impact in a yellow shirt and is there anyone you fear on Saturday?

The main threats i belive to be: Baines, Fellaini, Cahill and Rodwell. Drenthe will rip us apart we have struggled with pace this season against the likes of wollcott, oberton, bellamy etc.

 

7. Your predicitions for the game, heart and head?

Heart:1-1 Head:3-1 everton

 

good luck guys!

As for the post on morison he is looking very good so far 6 goals and adapting very well i think wales have some great up and coming players shame speedo wont be there to carry on the great job!

 

For the return game over Easter we shall once again be staying at the Hilton which overlooks the ground. As we behaved so well during last years pre-season friendly the management have given us the same price for our stay over.

 

Sam feel free to pass these questions onto any other Canaries in your vicinity.

 

Good Luck for the rest of the season, after Saturday of course.

I'll take your word on that one then and hope he has a stinker I've just always liked him his heading ability is second to none. Another of your young talents I'm looking forward to seeing when you come to CR in April is Rodwell he's gotta go to euro2012 surely

haha sounds like a standard night out in norwich! unfortunately i was only 4 so wouldn't remember to much of that! Is Cahill fit for the weekend? he could be the difference i feel ad i think well struggle with drenthes pace down the wing but I'm sure we can leave saha unmarked

Vaughan only played a few substitute appearances until he done his knee again which is unfortunate as he looked to have the power and pace we where lacking and could have been a match winner fingers crossed he comes back and can stay fit.

Ruddys doing well played well just over the park from you guys but still a couple of mistakes Villa and Chelsea stick in my memory.

We can't keep a clean sheet n seem to be scoring a few at the minute so I'm going 3-0 to you guys lol

No worries bud I was a bit surprised to see you guys didn't have one as yet as well so thought id kick it off (excuse the pun) lol

Afternoon guys, norwich fan here. looking forward to the game on Saturday! unfortunately I won't be travelling up due to work commitments but have enjoyed my previous visits to goodison a few years ago. Just wanted to get your views on the game on saturday and how you guys view our start to the season and chances of survival?

All the best for the weekend! Sam
