Iwan Roberts: Norwich City fans should never say never

The Championship is always a topsy turvy division and I think this season even more so. Six points separate Coventry in fifth to Swansea in 12th and I think all those teams will still believe that they have got a chance. There's some tough games to be played by all the teams in that group.

I remember in 2002 when we nicked that sixth place by one goal difference to Burnley. Football is a funny game and if you are a Norwich City player, any player, you simply don’t have any other attitude but believing you can still do it.

All you can do is win your last two games and see where that takes you. The players care, there's not a lack of care. They hurt as much as anybody else.

And there are some tough games coming up for everyone - Millwall have got Blackpool away and Blackburn at home; Sunderland have got Watford at home and Preston, who have still got half a sniff, away. Preston have got Sheffield United away And Blackburn have got Luton as well as that Millwall game.”

If I was in the dressing room now I would be believing we still had a chance. It's not done and dusted – and you've still got to believe that.

Once the belief goes, there's no point.

But there must by no repeat of the performance against Swansea at the weekend.

I was so disappointed. At 2-0 down in a game they had to win, they just sat in their own half. It was embarrassing. At least have a go. They were just happy to be camped in their own half and let Swansea have the ball. If you're going to get beat, get beat fighting. It's as if they waved the white flag. I was shocked at their lack of urgency to go and try and get that next goal.

Maybe playing away from home will be better for them at the current time.

It takes a bit of pressure off and I have to say it was a bit toxic at times last weekend.

Stuart Webber - is he better when the purse strings are tighter? (Image: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd)

There were a few shouts calling for Stuart Webber to go. I like Stuart - don't get me wrong, I haven't got his number or anything, but I like him as a bloke.

I know he is getting some stick but he turned the club around, no two ways about that. But one thing that is guaranteed in football is that you gets ups, which he's had, and you get plenty of downs. And when you get the downs, when things aren't going quite right and you’re getting a bit stick and there's a lot of noise about you, but you’ve got to be brave and face the music.

Obviously there has been a lot of talk about his recruitment and of late it hasn’t been good. That’s his main job at the football club and he did great when he first came in five years ago.

Was that lucky?

He’s done it twice – here and at Huddersfield. Maybe once it might be lucky, but not twice. But maybe the difference is money -  I don't think when he first came in he had a lot of money. He got Teemu Pukki in on a free of Emi Buendia for very little.

People can be ‘dangerous’ when they've got money. You’re like a kid on Christmas morning, you don't know what to do first.

Maybe Stuart Webber’s strength is scouring the lower leagues in different countries for talent, rather than spending millions on a player. I know it sounds a bit daft but often it's not an advantage to have a bottomless pit.

If you have £60m to spend, say, and you buy a player for £10m, it’s a case of, ok, it’s only £10m, I’ve still got another £50m left to play with.

He spent £30m on Christos Tzolis, Josh Sargent and Milot Rashica, but it hasn’t really worked out well. They were unproven players. Unknown, young players and they are expected to perform in the Premier League, to play in the most ruthless league in the world, where it is sink or swim, and sadly all three sank last season.

Mark Hughes was the same when he went to QPR and they were splashing cash.

It could just be that Stuart Webber’s skill-set is when he has to be careful with the cash.

• How I’d love to be wearing the number nine shirt at The Hawthorns today.

West Brom were a team I loved scoring against – although I only got one against them in Norwich City colours, and that was thanks to my hand.

It was at Carrow Road and it was a handball. I can’t remember who crossed it from the right but it was one of those where I've thrown myself at the ball with a defender doing the same, but just behind me. We've both thrown ourselves at this ball and I'm not quite making, so the left hand’s come out and it went in.

I've ran and top the River End and the firstly thing I did was look at the linesman – and he’s just run back towards the halfway line.

I didn’t feel bad about it, not at all - I'd do anything for a goal. I got such a buzz from it, I would do anything to score.

I also scored against the Baggies for Huddersfield at The Hawthorns. I got a hat-trick for Wolves there – the first Wolves player to do that and I scored against them for Leicester as well.

I actually thought I had a hat-trick against them but they took the match ball away from me - I scored two good goals and the third came when I headed a cross goalwards, but it wasn’t going in until one of their defenders who was trying to head it mistimed it, the ball hit his shoulder and went in. I've gone running away trying to claim it and they gave me the match ball. I took it home, but then I got a phone call off the club the next day saying, can you bring the match ball back?

• I’ll have an eye on what Norfolk’s second biggest club, King’s Lynn Town, are doing on Saturday afternoon.

It’s a big ask for them to finish top of National League North – they’re two points behind AFC Fylde going into the final game of the season. But they have to believe.

And while it is unrealistic to think Bradford Park Avenue will beat Fylde, I’ll say it again - never say never.

As a team and as individuals, don't go out this Saturday thinking, they're not dropping points there, because funnier things have happened. Take care of your business because you don't want to have any regrets. What if you went into the changing room at full time and you've drawn your game and you find out that Bradford Park Avenue have beaten Fylde?

That would be an absolute hammer blow, so you take care of what you can take care of and don't even worry about what's happening elsewhere.

Do your business first and then someone might do you a favour.

I don’t expect the Lynn players to have anything but a winning mentality tomorrow and if the worst thing happens, then they are still guaranteed to finish second in the table.

Whichever route they take I am sure everyone in these parts wants to see King’s Lynn back in the National League. I've been up there a couple of times in recent time, and it is such a good club, such a friendly club.

It’s their first season back in National League North after relegation and it's not easy bouncing back at the first time of asking. But they have had a great season. It's been nip and tip between the two all season.

They are the best two sides in the division and if it is to be the play-offs, then go and embrace it, go and enjoy the pressure of playing in those types of games.
