1 So after relegation last year what are you r plans this year? are you aiming for automatic promotion?
We are now. At the start of the season, any finish in the top half would have been seen as a success (by me!)
2. You started the season with Gunn in charge then switched to Lambert after he left Colchester are fans happier with the latter?
Yes, Lambert has turned the team around. There are still some fans that think Gunn would have done as well as Lambert, but they are in a very small minority.
3. How were your transfer dealings in the transfer and loan market any good signings?
Of the players that Gunn signed, Grant Holt has been outstanding, and Askou has been a real find. Stephen Hughes is also a very good player. The jury is very much out on other signings, Wiggins, Tudur Jones, & Gill. Other signings have been a disaster, Theoklitis the keeper, Whaley, loaned to two clubs already, and Maric, now released.
Of the players that Lambert has signed, keeper Forster has been very good, and it?s too early to judge on the other two, Russell Martin and McNamee.
It also seems like we have a bunch of ?other? new players as Lambert has been giving the youngsters a chance, and overall they have done very well.
4. Are you looking forward to/have played any teams this year?
Gillingham for some strange reason. Local to London, two minutes from the train station, and a pub and a chippy between the station and the ground.
5. What has been your general style of play/tactics this year? Is this likely to change for the game against Oldham?
Midfield diamond has worked well this season, and I see no reason at all for it to change against Oldham.
6. You currently lie 3rd after beating Southend 0-3 on Tuesday , fair result?
Yes. We were the better team. Once we scored first we were always going to win. 2-0 would have been a fairer result.
7. Who are Norwich?s key player/players? Who should the Oldham fans keep an eye out for on Saturday?
Wes Hoolahan and Grant Holt are the danger men. Jen Bertal Askou is a very solid defender.
8. Who do you think will win League One this season? Any outsiders or surprises?
Leeds. We are all playing for second place, but there is a long way to go.
9. How do you think Oldham will do this season?
To be honest I?ve no idea, but that goes for a number of teams in League 1. We?ve already seen some very poor teams so far this season, so if you are better than some we have seen so far I?ll predict mid-table.
10 And finally, what score do you think the game will be on Tuesday?
We?re not playing on Tuesday!, I presume you mean Saturday. As Oldham don't seem to have scored or conceded many goals, I?ll predict a 2-0 to Norwich.
