Never mind the loan deals, feel the quality
The transfer window has proved to be an incredibly busy few months for Norwich City, just as we expected. And I want to clear up once and for all some of the arguments over the number of loan players we have signed.

Hunt for right striker is so frustrating
I am sure Norwich City supporters are frustrated that we have yet to sign the one big striker I believe will make a huge difference to our squad - but, rest assured, no one is more frustrated than me.

We’re all in the same boat
Despite Saturday's disappointment, it was excellent being back at Carrow Road for a competitive match. I see the Norwich supporters, the squad and myself as all being in the same boat and rowing in the same direction - but you have to have that.

I’m continuing to work on signing a dominant striker
The first week of the season has been hugely disappointing, especially losing both games when David Marshall has yet to make a serious save. Particularly at Coventry, we had the lion's share of play, created chances but lacked that killer instinct and we need to find that quickly.

Waiting game was not fun to play
I'm pleased with the way that the squad at the club is taking shape - although I've been frustrated at the length of time it's taken to get the players that I want.

Players know exactly what is riding on game
I heard it said this week that we should play well at Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday because we are safe from relegation and we will be more relaxed - but I don't agree with that theory.

It has been an honour to manage Dion
I first had the opportunity to work with Dion Dublin in 1997 when I was assisting Glenn Hoddle as a coach with the England squad. Dion impressed me straightaway with his personality and his humility as a man.

Pain of derby defeat will not hold us back
Our derby defeat at Ipswich last Sunday was a bad experience for everyone connected with the club. We are not happy with what happened. I don't like the experience of playing against our local rivals and playing so poorly.

City players enjoying their football
We can safely say that we have come a very long way since our last meeting with Ipswich Town. It was a pretty poor predicament we found ourselves in, in the first week of November, when we had just eight points.

Our just deserts went missing in March
Anyone who has followed Norwich City through the month of March will feel like we do - that we didn't pick up the number of points we deserved. I wouldn't like to put an exact figure on how many we should have collected, but looking at the figures, we took eight points in January and 10 in February, but just four in March.

Time to clamp down on dissent
The time has come to get tough on the kind of dissent we have witnessed against referees in Premier League matches over the past couple of weeks.
The incidents where Ashley Cole turned his back on referee Mike Riley in the Tottenham-Chelsea game and Javier Mascherano received a second yellow card from Steve Bennett in Liverpool's defeat at Manchester United are just the latest examples of the kind of behaviour that can no longer be tolerated.

SuperTed is a shining example
Lee Clark and I watched Colchester United's home game against Hull City on Tuesday night in order to size up our next opponents.
They played well and were just beaten by the better side on the night.

City need more goals after wasteful Tuesday
The Coca-Cola Championship table shows that only one team has a lower total of goals scored this season than Norwich City. With 35 goals in 38 games, we are not even averaging one goal per game.
