At present it appears that he's a graduate of the Tony Hibbert school of goalscorers.

I get the impression with Cantwell that when he retires in his mid 30s and is asked why he didn't go on to achieve what his first season or two at Norwich suggested he might he will blame the players around him rather than look at himself.

Way over the top - we don't need a win "desperately" - there will still be a significant proportion of the season to go. For some reason, only known to yourself, you are trying to create a sense of crisis and panic around the club.

Buckley's out with concussion.

On that basis it looks like his tactical approach is based on the players at his disposal - which is what you want in a manager . We don't want what's happened at Manchester United where the new manager insists on playing one particular way even though it doesn't suit the squad he has inherited.

Good to see O'Riordan score yesterday and he had the Man Of The Match award on the whoscored.com website. Hopefully a sign that after a poor first year with us he's turning the corner.

We are a business, not a charity. No business is going to waive the right to a large financial settlement for nothing in return. If the boot was on the other foot and JDT had been fired you can bet your bottom dollar that he wanted every last penny that he was entitled to under the contract.

Because the contract that both parties had signed provided that he couldn't do that without a financial settlement. You obviously know nothing about business; nobody in the commercial world allows parties with whom they have contracted to just disregard contractual terms.

Yes I know what you mean, but what I was really referring to was that it appeared from the outside - I might be wrong - that JDT wanted the requirement that the club be reimbursed for the outstanding term of his contract,or part of it, be waived. I don't think there was any way the club could agree to that.

Drivel. Who have I slagged off ?

He was a sacrificial lamb to deflect criticism at others at the club. Why do you think he was fired ? It certainly wasn't based on the results he was getting from that group of players.

From memory I think Leicester were still outside the bottom 3 when foolishly they sacked Steve Cooper - seemingly to appease some loud mouths in their fanbase ; underlines that the views of supporters should be ignored when taking decisions regarding the playing side of a club.

Why do you think holding a party that has contracted with the club to the terms of the contract is a cause for criticism ? No kind of business could hope to operate successfully if they allow people to walk all over them.

It's worth pointing out that had they still been at the club Adam Wharton and Ashley Phillips would both have been eligible to play for the U21s this season. Along with those two we also have Michalski, Tygon and Higgins playing for England in various age groups, plus also Finneran who has moved away- so overall the level of talent below 21 that has come through I would think to be probably better than any other club not in the Premier League.

Why does it matter how it looks ? What matters is the result.

What did Henry Winter have to say about us this morning ?

No -it's Rudy.

Great work by Gestede to see what others did not that Gueye would be as effective as he is proving.

A very good night which will have proven a lot of people wrong. Where's Henry Winter now ? Particularly good to see two unfairly criticised players in Gueye and Pears be our two best players.

What would be "strong, proper action" ?

You will probably know more than me on this subject but doesn't the forthcoming new Act require (1) the club meet on a regular basis with a representative group of supporters and (2) "explain" ( but not necessarily gain fan approval) of the club's organisation and strategy ?

Yes - practically identical returns and from memory Bowyer and Lambert had very similar numbers too.

Simply not true. Off the top of my head , a couple of years ago we had an FA Cup win at Leicester, a League Cup win at West Ham, not to mention an FA Cup win at Arsenal under Gary Bowyer.

Wasn't there a report that he was asked to play a U21 game and refused ? If so the player is the issue.

It's only February but this is the best post of the year.
