    Well yeah, it would have been a new experience for him as it was his second child. When the first one was born there weren't any other children to look after?

    Apologies Jonny, I seem to have given you the wrong idea. 

    We don't know if Ben has been through a situation with a baby in ICU.

    It's a unique experience, I don't want to teach you suck eggs if you have experienced it, but those who have lived through it will tell you it consumes much of your time, energy and concentration. 

    It will be a challenge for him going to work & doing his job.

    We don't know the full medical details regarding his baby, however,  many have lived through that situation when a baby is in neonatal care for weeks after birth and other children have to be looked after.

    It maybe a new experience for him & all consuming, we don't know.

    Whether Buendia or any other player who has left us has kicked on since leaving is totally irrelevant.

    If Villa make an acceptable offer and Rowe gets a massive pay rise why wouldn't he move? Young players never turn down the money, especially nowadays.

    I don't understand why Villa of all clubs can swim against the FFP tide, but presumably they're not carrying massive debt?

    The issue for NCFC is how can we clear our debt if FFP stunts player trading? Ironic that all these years of self funding we choose now to rack up debt!

    I believe it's not about debt, it's about losses made over a three year accounting period.

    Debt is fine if you can service it.

    It appears to me that the lack of ability in the squad to sustain a promotion push throughout this season is no fault of Wagner because of the squad he has at his disposal so am i to assume he had no say in the cards he was dealt last summer by Webber ? After all he had only been here six months.

    Exactly, Wagner & Webber signed those players in the summer, it's a bit much to now say he's been dealt bad cards.

    At the moment, there may be no point in signing a Skippish CDM. Wagner doesn't seem to believe in them anyway. More farting around at the back, one poor sod totally overrun in midfield, and hopeful punts to the diagonals coming up.

    Exactly, if Knapper signs a decent CDM, what's Wagner going to do with him?

    His whole setup is no CDM & no number 10, it would be a ridiculous situation with players being bought for the next manager, whilst Wagner is still in position.

    In short it’s the slow creep on the destruction of this clubs standards and footing among its peers at the behest of an insane, drunk, irrelevant TV cook from the 1970s and at the permission of fans that Unironically bring boiled sweets and a personal FM radio to the ground on match days.

    I thought we weren't going to mention the personal electrical items ....

    Never mind the team, what socks do I wear?

     

    My membership issue LUCKY HOME SOCKS only have a 20% win rate (Yes, I know we are away, but they didn't work for the home tie, so they might for the away one?).

     

    I recently purchased a NCFC days-of-the-week set and wore the FRIDAY socks on the day of the Hull away win.

    Decisions, decisions..

    You definitely can't go out on a Wednesday with Fridays socks on, lucky or not.

    I mean, you're gonna struggle to stand up let alone walk, it'll be all wrong.

    If you had time to read the complete piece, he does discuss xg

    Must stress though, Ben's analysis isn't xg based, it's just a review of where the players were & how the team was setup during different phases of the game.

    Actual positions of the players & actual setup / tactics by Wagner. 

    Yes, you can extrapolate an opinion from that, but it's the actual game as it happened, not an intangible like xg.

    I like Ben Lee's analysis, if I wished to challenge his analysis, which I don't really, I would point to the fact that we won quite comfortably on xG (0.97 to 1.4).*

    I don’t think they’ve been pushing he’s a spent force, they’ve been largely pointing out how streaky he is and how poor some of our play is despite some of the results. We are relying on individual quality like Rowe and Gunn and that’s not sustainable. I don’t think they are wrong in that conclusion personally.

    Also pointing out how poor quality the Championship is which considering our recent run to still be just outside the playoffs tells its own story.

    This is a key point from the analysis, our system is pretty crap and doesn't use our players to their best, doesn't paint Wagner as a master tactician. 

    Instead of producing patterns or systems of play which can be replicated & providing chances for goals, the way we're setup & playing simply relues on a player having a world class moment, scoring an individual goal etc. ie Rowes goal, made out of nothing by the player having an individual moment of brilliance. 

    This isn't good management & coaching & it's not sustainable.

    No - as “analysis” goes I just find I rather misleading, I don’t have to agree with it and I won’t.  I have no idea who the guy is, but playing away at Hull and largely limiting their opportunities to long range efforts whilst creating some decent ones for ourselves on a very stodgy pitch is not a bad outturn/return, and suggests we weren’t tactically poor. There was absolutely no need for the final comment.

    Have you followed Ben's analysis throughout the season?

    He's done every game, you can see with your own eyes that it's not right when you watch the games,  reading through the analysis afterwards is quite interesting to see how wrong Wagner gets it & raises big questions as to why he doesn't change. 

    Winning at Hull, yeah I'll take the three points, doesn't alter the fact that Wagner isn't bringing the best out of our players.

    Very last sentence:

    a head coach who is stifling the development of this club and its individual prospects.Analysis cannot live or die by score lines,  processes matter and Norwich’s need to improve.

     

    The numbers confirm what your eyes tell you.

    Hey, we won the game,  alles ist gut ja?

    There are significant differences between the seating areas.

    The two Upper sections, Regency & Barclay, involve quite a few steps as they are reasonably high. The view is good as you're looking down on top of the pitch, but less atmosphere up there.

    The South stand, block H end has better atmosphere because you're close to the away fans and also quite close to the Lower Barclay. Excellent views, I like this area.

    Be aware though to avoid the rows of seats closest to the pitch as you'll get wet there in case of rain. 

    Enjoy the game!

    If your elbow happens to be pointed at the exact angle that it whacks an opponent smack in the face, quite a distance away from your body, and that’s slowed down on VAR for instance, then you’re very lucky to still be on the pitch.

    He was lucky not to be sent off, Kenny too made a bad tackle whilst on a yellow,  the commentary team we're calling for another yellow card.

    I meant that you would think he would be more willing to send his players out on loan to us

    Seriously, I wouldn't loan a player to Wagner, lovely teeth & hair but he hasn't got a clue about football in 2024
