Norwhich was 3 - 1 but they were on a high and not the low when we recently played them.

Newcastle was 0 - 1 and we could have won that one - Taylor hitting the crossbar and Ward ?...hitting the post late on.

And your point was :

"The fact that he paired Ball and Fry together in one game is beyond belief."

mmmmm
The point I was making is that no decent manager would play two kids at centre half in what was already a relegation battle. The fact he played them three times only compounds that. I only went to the Newcastle match from those; they should've been 4-0 up before they scored. It was a spirited performance against a top side though, an anomaly to the rest of the Stubbs era - games like Bristol and Brentford (where we somehow won!) we were played off the park by average teams.

PS sorry shark!
