Not a buyers market. Healey and Mark Harris need game time.

Is a relegation battle the time to be giving them that game time?
Hopefully they can start a few games at the end of the season if and when we are safe.
We don't want to be playing teams like Newcastle and Huddersfield still needing points to survive.

They probably think they could get 5 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats out of there remaining games and so will those above them.
I dont think we will go down but we are not out of it yet, if we lose against Leeds and Derby then things could start to look bleak again, aftee that we have back to back home games against Rotherham and Fulham and then back to back away games to Blackburn and QPR who will be fighting for their lives same as us.

peterboriugh had 27pts from 29 games much the same as blackpool do now.
so everything you say makes sense.
rotherham i think are gone,so we could do with 2 other teams hitting the wall. bristol city? nxt 4 derby away,leeds away, fulham home,newcastle away. and until today on a shit run might be 1.

Four teams below us won today whilst we lost.
Three of those teams have a game in hand on us.
We have two tough away games to come from which we will be lucky to take any points.
We are down to the bare bones of a squad with injuries which will take some time to heal.
Other teams around us have strengthened during January - we've weakened.
It's going to be a lot harder for the remainder of this season than some people seem to think.

Nothing is ever set in stone, but what I will say is people tend to panic and if you look at people's posts a lot tend to react massively after one game. Be it a win I find a lot over react yet a defeat it's exactly the same. Yesterday showed again what we know, we lack that little bit of quality and had we had that we wouldn't have been beaten by Brighton or reading.
As far as we have come and as average as Norwich were yesterday, you need that extra bit of quality to beat the sides in the top half of the table. But what's also apparent and for me more important right now is we can beat the other sides, Preston Bristol city villa and Burton are recent evedince of this.
We will without drop places and climb places like the others, but over the remainder of the season we will not in s million years go down under Warnock.
We all want to see new arrivals every club does, a striker would have been nice but it has to improve the team and be at the right price which isn't as simple as many people think.
Healey has something about him, we have some good options on the wings although not perfect and you can't argue with our defence as a unit together with an Uncreative yet solid midfield.
Am looking forward to seeing who Warnock brings in over the summer which is exactly what will happen.

There is a lot of truth in what you have said, some of our fans do get carried away after certain games. For example, yesterday was never going to be an easy game. That was Norwich's third win in a row, 4 out of the last 5. They are a team that has spent 4 of the last 5 seasons in the Premier League.
I said on here that we were playing them at an unfortunate time when they have just seemed to have turned the corner.
People need to look at the bigger picture at times, when we won those 3 games in a row it was great don't get me wrong and a win is a win when you are in our position but when you analysed the games we beat Burton with a last minute goal, and was nip and tuck with Bristol City right until the end and they were both awfull teams on huge losing streaks, it was far from convincing, then we lose back to back away games, come back and have a good result against Preston and hey presto you have people saying we could go on a late surge for the Play Offs
