Just had to happen, this fantastic run brought to an end in the hostile atmosphere of the den, althouh Chris Martin put us ahead early in the game, it didn't sound like we could carry on and add to that, credit to Millwall, they fought harried and bullied themselves to victory.  
We are still top despite this setback with Hartlepool twice comeing from behind to hold Leeds 2-2, we now have tailisman Grtant Holt to come back after serving his 3 match suspension, it may be just what we need right now.  Full Credit to Lamberty and his players for a fantastic run stretching back to October, absoluitely brilliant; now to another run to the end of the season. 

Come on You Yellows

I am sure many of you will join with me in sending our sympathies and best wishes to Antoine Sibierski and his family, at the very sad loss of their daughter Sibylle.

Police officers broke into the 18-year-old's rented apartment after concerns for her safety were raised.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “At about 5.40pm on Monday, February 1, police were called to Denmark Street, Altrincham, following reports of concerns over the welfare of a woman.

“Officers attended, forced entry and the body of an 18-year-old woman was

A strong looking reserve side is named for tonights game against Wycombe's second string; with Jens Berthel Askou and Micky Spillane's names appearing in the squad can only be good news for players and manager alike, both are starting out after a long lay after injury.  Good luck to both with the hope that they come through this first test with absolutely no problems.

NORWICH CITY: Rudd, Francomb, Gordon, D Stephens, Askou, McVeigh, McNamee, Gill, Adeyemi, Dawkin, D Kelly.

Subs: Steer, Spillane, Clarke, Lathrope, Oakley.

One noticable absentee again is Jamie Cureton, he was no where to be seen in the last of Ian Crook's squad; when is someone going to raise the question with paul Lambert, "what is going on with our Jamie ?"
 
 Many expected to see him go out on loan or even be sold on, as he looks to have fallen out of favour and just sits in the stands or at home picking up a nice wage cheque. Of course he can walk away for nothing some time around June, wouldn't it have been better to get a nominal fee for him or at least free up some wages. 

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Jamie what-so-ever,  in fact I dearly wanted him to be a success on his return to City, but sadly it hasn't really worked out that well.  Now we have another manager who chooses not to play him, in truth he has had many chances to rediscover the form that made Peter Grant buy him in the first place, if enough is enough then let the guy move on for a final fling somewhere else; saving some money in the process.

Not surprisingly new defender Michael Rose would like his loan deal to become a permanent deal, if Paul Lambert follows what he did with his last two loan signings Russell Martin and Anthony McNamee; Rose has every chance that his wish will come true.

Speaking to the media Rose said.

 "I'm hoping for a permanent deal"

Not forgetting he may have to return home to Stockport he offered a few comments about their plight:

"I'm hoping Stockport get back on their feet and find winning ways again as I've got a load of friends there.

"The staff have been brilliant to me and I'm disappointed to leave but to come to a club like this was a chance I couldn't turn down."

Despite the last day rumour concerning Wes Hoolahan, it would appear we got through the transfer window without losing any of the star men of the squad, with the last day only throwing up the departure of Simon Whaley, whose contract was cancelled by mutual consent.
 It came as no real surprise that Whaley has left the club, he didn't really feature under Paul Lambert being dispatched to two different loan clubs.  I can't really comment or share my views on the player as I never saw him playing, but he clearly didn't have a place in Lambert's plans. However I am surprised that Jamie Cureton is still here, not being sold on or loaned out he has become the forgotten man of the squad; along with Michael Theoklitos who hasn't been seen near the first team squad for a long while.
