He got them from League 2 to the Premier League playoff last season!!!! Stopped responding?!!!

Crnac has been purchased as a Sargent v2 - same sort of obscure purchase (not many had really heard of JS before he arrived), same process of in bedding him on the wing for the first season or so, to build up his fitness, ability, familiarity with the English game. Unfortunately we as football fans want instant wins, instant success and to be the best. We can't all be the best, all of the time. Football fans also seem to think that every player in the world should want to play for their team - Norwich are a mid-table Championship side - we are not going to be purchasing the best / most ready talent - these guys will go to the top leagues/teams.

Sargent - best striker in the division?
Lewis DW replied to The Great Mass Debater's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
For me, Sargent has been pretty wasteful in the NCFC matches I've been to this season. Much like they used to say about Andy Cole, give him 5 shots and he'll score one. Josh isnt a bad player, but I can see why no EPL teams have signed him, needs to be a lot more clinical. -
I said 'reminds me of', not that he's a combination of Drury and Huckerby. Lansbury once played a Messi-esk through ball. Doesn't mean I am comparing his entire game to Messi...

Canaries that flew the Nest (Former players thread)
Lewis DW replied to TheGunnShow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Seen Tzolis's Champions League goal from last night? The curve and audacity of that effort. He may not have been a good fit for NCFC. But I'm glad he's finding form and realising his potential. -
Damn predictive text / autocorrect.

Nunez was the better of the 2 centre mids against Leeds, but this was still the part of the Norwich team that frustrated me most, with a lot of the Leeds attacks coming through the middle or from possession based errors. No Norwich player really stood out as MoM for me, a number gave a solid performance but to pick one above a handful of others would just be me plucking a name out of the air. The officially MoM, Sarge, in my opinion was a bit of a lazy choice - "he scored, give it him" Fisher, Sainz and Doyle were my top 3. Bottom 3 - Crnac (for not putting his laces through it). McLean (for thinking he has all day on the ball when surrounding by Leeds shirts... you're not Iniesta mate), and maybe Stacey (I just don't think he got in the game much).

Just a quick appreciation post for the player Kellen Fisher is becoming. Switching from right to left back in the second half against Leeds, without fault, if anything he stepped up and his performance in 2nd half was better than the first half. Decent defending, tracking back and mazy runs forward- at times he reminds me of Drury and others he goes full Huckerby. An exciting player, with a good attitude and a promising future ahead of him. A top signing by the recruitment team.

How long for Russell Martin ?
Lewis DW replied to CANARYKING's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Russell Martin's Southampton have the same frustrating tactics that Hoff's Norwich have - sideways passing, dangerously slow play from the back. Southampton are being punished because the gap between the Prem and the Championship is so huge. They are doing what they can with the players they have, Championship players, plus Ramsdale, trying to over perform week-in-week in to survive. A new manager won't make a difference. Southampton aren't much worst off than Ipswich, but no one is suggesting McKenna gets sacked... -
Nunez second half was good - put in a real shift. But I thought he was woeful in the first half - a stupid yellow card and then 4-5 careless tackles that could have got him sent off. He came out second half and bossed it, but first half I am not having that.

Who are these fans saying that last night's performance was a 'step forward'? A step forward from the dross that we've endured so far this season? QPR finished 11th in the Championship last season. At home, a club like Norwich, with the squad we have should make for an easy home win. Norwich are blowing an easy chance of promotion this season, with a hopeless management team. We have the squad - we have no direction or plan.
-
No footballer 'wants to be here" - they are here to collect as high a salary as possible, and play in the best leagues possible. Why would Milot Rashica or any other player currently at Norwich want to be here, at a relegated, under-paying, championship club? Norwich are a stepping stone for talented youngsters - that is the only reason to be here.
-
Norwich have been relegated because the squad wasn't good enough. Too many gambles on players that don't fit the style of play needed for a Pukki-led team.

Where's Russell Martin when you need him?! Norwich fans love a scapegoat - can't just accept that there are 19 considerably better squads of players in the league!
