Until our team starts to improve you cannot deny we're missing Huckerby.
Our side is lacking an incisivness and creativity that Darren brought to the pitch, he would have been perfect foil to Leroy Lita IMO and they would have formed arguably the best strike force in this league.
It's very frustrating because IMO we could have had an outstanding team this season had we kept hold of Hucks and scrapped one or two loanees.
GK - Marshall
RB - Semmy
CB - Stefanovic
CB - Kennedy
LB - Drury
RM - Bell
CM - Russell
CM - Clingan
LM Hoolahan
ST - Huckerby
ST - Lita
Thats a side that would easily make the playoffs and due to some poor decision making from Roeder we've been denyed that.

Am I missing something? We have this team apart from Huckerby, so what you are saying is that with Huckerby we would be in a play off place?
I loved Huckerby when he was here but pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease, would he have made that much differance off 1 place from relegation to play off contenders?

Have you seen us play this season? because by my reckoning it's our strikers that have let us down, we've generally been decent at the back but we arn't creative enough and don't score enough, Huckerby solves both problems... and last time i checked Lita only signed Friday so yeah i think that if we'd had Lita and Huckerby up front all season i think we'd have won at Coventry and a few other games i reckon we'd be about 8 or 9 points better off and 8 points more than what we have would put us 4th.
K thanks

Oh yeah, Ive seen us play. Prior to last Friday I don't recall anybody suggesting Lita, so your argument is based on Hucks. Sorry but I do not think that he would have made such a differance.

Huckleberry was done. history. His head had dropped two years ago.
Defending with ten can only be successful against us, not for us

Houston, did you see hucker play this week ? - bloodwagon
I don't get many Earthquake games on here. The one I've been able to watch was on a Spanish language channel, and when SJ played the Houston Dynamo, we had no electricity due to the hurricane. However, our local beat writer has picked Huckerby for newcomer of the year for MLS. One poor game does not a season make. Maybe the heat was getting to him! It was absolute crap that he was not even offered a contract by City. Oh, but they did offer one to ingrate clod, Doherty, who waited until nobody else showed any interest at all in him to sign it.

No.. my argument is based on the team we could have had at the start of the season and i think that if we'd gone for a couple less loans we coulda kept hucks and possibly signed Lita on a longer deal but instead we've signed a whole load of meaningless loans and left ourselves short in the area that ultimatly matters most in football.
Whats so difficult to understand about that?

Maybe Reading didn't want Lita out on loan for any more than a month?
If your argumnet contained Ched, who imo looked streets ahead of any of the dross we have on loan at the moment I would concure, but Lita is the papering over the cracks provided by the Board this month, we cannot and never would be able to afford him at the start of the season or for longer. But sorry, Hucks is in decline and would not have made the differance.
I also agree with The Cluck and have been told by somebody with first hand experiance that thr Rodent rules by fear and to be top dog you have to remove the ones who will challange

I'd be happy to trade with you in the summer. Holy crap, is it hot and sticky here. heck, I'd be happy to trade any time. I love being in Norwich any time of year. However, as far as being outside and doing physical work, it's much easier to take in the cooler weather.

Its been raining for about 2 weeks solid, we have had no summer, and now its getting dark early. I just want to see some sun.....But Norwich is comfortably the best City in the UK, something we can both agree on!!

Hucks head drop-ped 2 years ago?
Bo**ocks!
2 years ago after Earnie got injured mid season, Hucks great displays and goals kept us in the Championship, prevented an embarrassing FA Cup home defeat to then League 1 Blackpool and deservedly won him the player of the season, so your statement is very wide of the mark like our attack this year!
This season our poor displays in the final 3rd of the field, not just from the strikers but our indirect, indecisive, complete lack of invention or variety once we get tio the oppositions 18 yard box, sideways/backwards passing style of play from wingers and midfielders, will ensure we face a struggle to stay up. I saw the signs on the opening day at Coventry when despite playing them of the park, playing brillaint in midfield we were cr*p in the final 3rd!
Whilst I don't suggest that with our best left winger of the last 30 years remaining at the club we'd of been top and winning games easily, The team without doubt would of been better with Darren Huckerby in the line up. - Anyone that suggests otherwise hasn't obviously seen many NCFC games this season!

He gave a lot to the team, he also took away a lot.
For the first 2.5 to 3 years, he gave a lot more than he took. Towards the end, this was a debatable choice. He wasn't interested in helping the team out, and too many times put his head down and tried to dribble past 2 players, when an easy pass was on.
Whilst I would have rather we kept him, and agree that we need him at times, his wages have allowed us 2 extra players that will hopefully come good in time.
I love Hucks. But I don't think it's a "right or wrong" issue. There are lots of different sides to the story. The fact is, we had him last year, and we still nearly went down. So he isn't a one man saviour, that's for certain.
