Norwich keeper fails to turn up
Michael Theoklitos
Theoklitos' only game for Norwich came in the 7-1 defeat by Colchester

Norwich manager Paul Lambert says that goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos will be disciplined for failing to show for the JP Trophy tie at Gillingham.

Theoklitos was due to be on the bench at Priestfield on Tuesday, leaving the Canaries with just four substitutes.

Lambert told BBC Radio Norfolk: "Nobody is bigger than the club and he has let everybody down. Michael will be disciplined by the club."

Norwich won the game 1-0 thanks to a goal from Cody McDonald.

Theoklitos, 28, joined City as a free agent on a two-year deal in July.

But, he has played just 90 minutes for the Canaries, the 7-1 opening-day defeat by Colchester United.

He was due to be recalled to the bench at Gillingham as a replacement for Declan Rudd, who was on international duty with the England Under-19 side.

Being told after one game that your services are no longer required would be a huge de-motivator. I may be a Sydney fan but honestly he's been treated like a dog. What do the club expect? There was eleven players out there, not just Theoklitos.

not a smart move at all

Jam Tards for next season perhaps?

His "performance" in that game was considered one of the worst debuts by any Norwich player.

Keep in mind that we're talking a club that was once a top-flight force not too long ago, pretty much gutted by a Con Constantine-esque chairman (Robert Chase) who kept selling players and never fully recovered. For a club of its size to suffer such a fall in fortunes, it's hardly a surprise you have fans with this edge to them in that they're bound to be hard on players.
