I think our penalty shout was 50/50 and I dont like to see players sent off but I'm as sure as I can be that (1) Coventry got a last minute penalty against us for less, (2) if its roles reversed and Pukki goes down at Carrow Road it gets given and (3) the Norwich lad committed four fouls today that were all worse then either of Bramalls yellow cards at Burnley, including a rugby tackle. How that was not a yellow I will never know. That's two games running we have deserved at least a point against a top side and come away feeling a bit cheated. Contrary to popular belief these things dont even out over a season. The truth is that there is a big club bias. We have seen it too many times. Many, many positives and so much to be proud of but the manager must be tearing his bloody hair out.
It looks like the trap door of relegation has sprung open for us as we have gained just one point from our last five games. Did well at times against two ex premier league clubs but nothing to show for it. This league is still very tight and we are now just two points off 23rd position.
Two games to go before the break and two very difficult away games. The injury list is big with players like Washington,Kelly, Ferguson, Hall, Humphreys, McCart, High,Wood and Bola all having some sort of niggle/injury. Add to this Kioso and Chieo just getting up to fitness and the picture looks bleak.
Clubs below us will pick up points in the next two games. Blackpool play Wigan and Middlesbrough all below us. Stoke play W.B.A. I really don't see teams like Stoke, Middlesbrough and W.B.A finishing below us come the end of the season. W.B.A have won their last two games and i expect them to climb the league with the players they have got. We will have to get points from the mini battles against sides who will be in the bottom eight. Sides like Huddersfield (expect to go down) Wigan (only one point in last five games),Blackpool, Bristol City, Hull and possibly Reading who are dropping quickly.
The world cup break will we welcomed at NYS imo. It gives us time to regroup and the January transfer window will be vital. If we are to give Taylor a chance of survival we have to invest in new talent. I am sure i have said that before.
