    Only if we have another CB coming in. Surely to goodness we wouldn't leave ourselves with only three centre backs after last season's debacle?

    One season after turning the team around the previous season. Then a season in the prem with no resources. This season is the true test. To be claiming he should go now is simply idiotic of people to suggest.

    I was livid when we signed Gary Megson - he turned out to be a very good piece of business.

    Would have to say none other than Teemu Pukki. Despite 2020 where he’s not been at his best, probably down to slight injury issues taking him off the boil, you would still have to say he’s been a remarkable bit of business on a free who has caused many a fantastic night under the Carrow Rd floodlights.

    Whether you or I had heard of him is immaterial. Like most City supporters, when things are looking in the 90% bracket that we’re actually going to sign said player, I always do a bit of research on them. The fact he’d been in the Real Madrid academy did indeed excite me. It’s not often, if ever, a player with that kind of background rocks up at Carrow Rd and it didn’t take much research to find out he was a creative AMF. Generally if you play in one of the more exciting positions and are in the youth ranks at Real Madrid then that’s a pretty good marriage I would say. So yes, he was the last player that excited me. Each to their own 👍

    Grant Holt. Thought he would score enough goals to get us promoted from League 1. Never dreamed he would then score enough to get us promoted to and stay in the Premier League.

    Lol Lets be fair, did you see him play when he first signed ? As I said before was sheer class before his injury at Palace and many were relieved to see him stay that close season when he had suitors from lots of different clubs. Unfortunately never managed to get fully fit after that, ( often through no fault of his own ) so to say over rated is harsh, I would say more an unfortunate injury at Palace that dogged his career. Pity we never got to see him back fit.

    It was a reference to Longstaff, not Bailey, and it was meant to be ironic 😉

    Owen Bailey is a centre-back (although very worryingly he can also play defensive midfield according to transfer mrkt 🙂 - and just when you thought you were safe from 'he's a defensive midfielder not a central defender' posts 😉 ).

    I'll be honest, I personally think it's disgusting. It's clearly a situation that is designed to best suit the premier league. We don't need two extra weeks. We need the window shut. Two months into the new season with the window open in this day and age is ridiculous. It's clearly unsettling players and teams - and not just ours. I hope every EFL club plays hardball with EPL teams and bleeds them for every penny, especially after the EPL said they wouldn't help out the EFL financially due to covid putting many clubs at financial risk. It's clearly going to have an impact on us too. I believe Webber is on record for saying that project restart saw a loss in £15-20million in revenue normally expected for that period.

    I am still convinced had he not gotten injured in that Palace game we would have stayed up and he would have moved on to a big club.

    Good luck Ben. Not often a deal is good for so many but in my opinion it’s great for for him, Everton get a possible future England captain, with work still in progress, we get a substantial fee after developing a young player that has a little further to go to become the finished product and York now probably have any financial fears they had over the next few months eradicated. In addition we have Ben Gibson now who will probably ( but who knows ) never become good enough to be England captain, but maybe just what we need to be able to defend better.

    Your post started off well, Gibson looks the real deal.....but you ruined it by dissing Zimmermann. Zimbo is a class act - as shown every time he gets a run in the team. Makes the odd mistake, but they all do. If they stay fit, should be the best pairing in the division.

    Btw our results this season are not incomparable to how we started the League last time we smashed it. And that fact seems to be largely ignored, for whatever reason. If we were getting battered by teams I’d be concerned, but the performances are improving, and we’re dominating the ball, I think we could just do with a bit more one touch zip and pace with regard to how we move the ball. Most of the players have shown to devastating effect last time we were in this league, the quicker we move the ball, the more effective we are - teams just don’t get a chance to regroup so easily when we play like that. Hopefully that kind of tempo will start to show itself soon : )

    There is no need to panic. Really. This season the team have played well in parts although individual errors from Skipp and Pukki have cost us 5 points.Hardly Farke's fault. Both the Bournemouth and Derby games showed that teams who set up with 5 at the back and drop deep to negate our attacking through the middle can stop us scoring. Both of these games were settled by an outstanding strike. In the Derby game we came close to scoring several times including a missed penalty. We dominated much of he game against Derby but couldn't finish it off. It was a game we would have won if Pukki had scored the penalty. Sacking Farke would be the most incredibly stupid decision. The side does need a better game plan against the 541 because Pukki gets outnumbered 3-1 and only gets the ball supplied from wide areas.

    I got slaughtered for suggesting Pukki in the hole last season behind Idah, but I complete agree that its worth a try. I can see Hugill being our Kevin Davies and Pukki essentially thriving on his knockdowns and flick backs like Kevin Nolan. Pukki will score more with a few chances on the edge of the box than he will sitting isolated at the top when teams are just going to sit deep. Pukki the man when the opposition play a high line as he's the best at beating an offside trap, but most won't try that against us because of the pace we possess on the flanks (if Hernandez or Placheta playing). Farke really needs to be open to changing things earlier at least. If teams park the bus like Derby then just get Hugill on at half time, drop Pukki to number 10. If teams take the game to us then the game is right for Pukki leading the line, change it accordingly. I'd have had no problem with us starting Pukki up top against Derby if Hugill was brought on at 45/50/55 minutes when it was so clear that it was a game for him.

    On the flip side I've defended Rupp since he joined yet for those who have thought he offered absolutely nothing, its equally a bit soon for them to be suddenly flip flopping in the other direction! I said from his first game for us that he obviously has a good engine, a good understanding positionally, tackles well and could pass. Certainly at this level I think he is an asset.

    Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who paid to join our Super 6 league, just over 20 pinkun posters supported us which is well up on last season We ended up with just over 90 entrants & with all your £5's and the extra donations people sent us with their fivers, we have raised £500 for the CSF. Most of you are on twitter, so will have seen we have been busy doing some online auctions since June and that has also raised us £1600. Thanks very much for your support, we really appreciate how you get behind our social club & the CSF. Diane on behalf of the volunteers

    We won’t, Wolfie - I doubt this is a shock to Webber and Farke so I guess if we’re going to get another CB from abroad then that has to happen today! That said, we could have something lined up domestically. Good luck to Timm - damn injuries, I don’t think we therefore ever quite saw the very best of a very decent CB.

    Since Ancelotti has already referred to him as a "very good centreback", I doubt it.

    That's one way of looking at it, I would say - and this was very much mirrored in the Championship-winning season too - that when the team is more settled, their passing game and movement will speed up and become more fluid. Then we'll naturally become far more dangerous in attack for prolonged periods of matches. At the moment we're half-a-yard behind. That second half against Bournemouth was very tidy in parts, the first 15 against Derby were excellent, and that move for the penalty were all signs that it's coming and the newer players are beginning to get used to what's expected of them, whilst some of the old set are getting that hangover out.

    ive had a very modest start, hoping to rise without notice to make a title challenge towards the end of the season. Fantastic as always from the social club and to everyone that has entered.

    End of this season for me, but dependent on performances. That slip on the penalty was just... well, classic Along Come Norwich territory. If we'd scored that, that game was won as Derby would basically have had to come at us, we'd be on 7 from 12 and generally looking upwards. Remember, we won the Championship after a poor opening six (and a proper stuffing against Leeds), sneaked a 1-0 against Middlesborough, and had a few more hard-fought single-goal wins before climbing the table, and Farke's also got a knack in the Champs of pulling out wins after international breaks. He's got to integrate a lot of players again as well as handle a relegation hangover, and there were signs v. Derby that they were getting quite close. First 15 and the move for the penalty were splendid. I think they're quite close to clicking, but it may need a few more games before they do.

    It has been very tight in both games we lost and I think Farke is doing the best with what he has at his disposable... The difference in both games has been that bit of class to win or save you games. If we continue to sell our best assets so that the same owners can remain in charge then changing manager will have little or no long term difference. I would suggest that the money the club has got for Lewis and Godfrey is down to the coaching of Farke.
