My list of Norwich players gamely habits

In almost every game they have played this season these players have done the following.

Greeno - fine diving save
Helveg - forgot he was playing in the Premier League and tried to dribble out of defence, giving the ball away with a panicked clearance when he remembers. Crowd screems abuse.
Drury - Long curling ball over the top to the opposing keeper
Fleming - headless chicken run towards his striker on the centre circle who then turns him and leaves him in no man's land
Shack - Towering winning header and great block from cross (he gets two as he's so good)
Bentley - fine control and movement away from opposing player in one movement
Francis - trotted along when running is needed
Safri - hard tackle in dangerous area if free kick given
Hucks - run at 2 defenders, attempt to win free kick
Leon - near the corner, flicks the ball over the defender's head making himself through on goal (Award: MOVE OF THE SEASON)
Ashton - Run in between the defenders and unselfish cross to leon/long shot wide (also gets two votes)

Other players:

Jonson: Pass back to the full back
Doherty: Looking like a 40 year old
Eddy: Run the length of the pitch. Run back again.
Sven: Jump under the ball
Stuart: Lean on his walking stick

Players of the season: Leon, Hucks, Shack, Ashton, Safri, Green

Biggest improvement: Leon
Future England: Shack
Loyalty award: Hucks
Biggest disappointment: Jonson
Gutted to see you go award: Bentley
Wish you were better award: Mcveigh
Funniest international retirement to concentrate on Norwich award: Paul Mcveigh
Manager mark: 6/10 Yes, Saf was injured but people were calling out for him much earlier than when he was finally given his chance. Blackburn home still lingers..
Fans: 8/10 Must improve on first half performance. Many games this season the first half has been dead only to improve dramatically 2nd half. Not sure why. Maybe people are a beer short of singing?

Season 9/10. 10/10 if we stay up on Sun
Game of the season: Boro home
Moment of the season: Palace 2-2 Saints

Thank you.
