Morning, Ryan

1. Given our current form, automatic promotion is seeming like a realisitc possibility now. However, this is Norwich, and nothing can be taken for granted here. We have a transfer window looming, and so far we have been pretty fortunate with a lack of injuries to key players. Apart form that, I'd say promotion this season is a financial necessity- if we don't make it, then we are in the brown stuff, right up to our windpipes.
2. Gunn was a great player, is a great ambassador for the club and the city, a club legend, and a thoroughly decent guy.
Lambert is a genius of a football manager, who is working wonders with this squad of players.
3. Grant Holt and Jens Berthel Askou have turned out to be fantastic signings. There's been mixed success with the others, so far.
4. I've really enjoyed the 'old fashioned' terrace atmosphere at some of the grounds (Hartlepool, for instance). I'm looking forward to Col U away and Leeds at hum.
5. We play a diamond midfield. It was introduced by Lambert and his coaches, because we don't have any decent wingers, and our most creative player (Hoolahan) is best just behind the strikers. It is working because we have the right players playing in the right positions. (sounds simpl I know, but the concept has proved beyond several recent managers)
6. Yes. We were better than Southend, who are no mugs.
7. Grant Holt, Wes Hoolahan, Matthew Gibson
8. Leeds- they are too far in front already, and don't look like they're going to have a wobble.
9. Mid-table or slightly higher. Do you still have the plastic pitch? I bloody loved that. I remember Mark Robins' hattrick to take us top of the premiership- how time change, eh?
10. Saturday? Sorry, I never predict NCFC results.
