I’d like to see some of those youngsters do stint abroad like Cantwell did. We’re always led to believe that coaches on the continent are far more technical than their league 1/2 counterparts. True or not I don’t know but I think it’s an area potentially worth reigniting especially for the British youngsters.

Im not going back anywhere. I’m not really talking about specific regimes, I merely talking about how he’s not wrong in pointing out that that training schedule looked dreadful. He was just using the Farke era as a marker to highlight the difference. No problem in doing that. It’s normal to compare one thing against another, it’s how you are able to recognise when something is better or worse than something else. You even did it yourself there, making a comparison to the halcyon days of 92/93. I had better training sessions when I played Sunday league. Another comparison. If that snippet of training is representative of training in general, it’s worrying, and probably goes some way to explaining why the quality of football were producing is so sub standard.

He’s not wrong though is he!

It’s a shame because offensively I really like McCallum but defensively he’s all over the place.

This is not a strong league. The fact we’re so close to the playoffs despite playing so poorly shows that surely?

I think there’s no sense or need to be in a hurry to sack him. This season is a write off. Yes we are still in touch with the playoffs but the reality is we’re not good enough to be one of those 4 come end of season. Equally we have a very small risk of relegation. So whilst I don’t think Wagner is our long term solution, I’d rather he stay put and we do our homework on a potential replacement in the background. Take our time and hopefully minimalist the risk of another balls up of an appointment. There is also the fact that there are bigger problems at this club than David Wagner!

I understand what you’re tying to say, that the balance of the game, not considering the number of good chances they had, represented a drab 0-0 or 0-1, but you can’t just take away those big saves that Gunn made as meaningless.

Branstin, I admire the staunch defence of your argument. I also happen to agree with your obvious dislike for the age of statistics (which in my opinion is sanitising football but that’s another discussion). BUTTTT, without Gunn in goal it would have been a 2, 3 or 4 nil game that cannot be denied.

I am guilty of it yes. Maybe we’re waiting for everybody else to start as the catalyst.

What a weird fixture. Whilst I’ve always been one of those that would never want us to lose, on this occasion, in light of the 1p5wich situation, I must admit, I’m torn! I’ll take an entertaining 5-6 defeat

Says he that clearly isn’t more bothered about spending his spare time worrying about NCFC affairs. So unbothered in fact that he had to sign up to an NCFC message board and tally a post count at a rate tgat even Cambridgeshire would be proud of.

They won’t though will they? They should, but they won’t. Norwich fans are mute.

I don’t think that would have any effect if I’m honest. The ground is already half empty. I never notice it when I’m there but when you watch any “highlights”, the amount of empty seats is really noticeable. Unfortunately ticket sales aren’t the big income anymore so it’s not the impact it once would’ve been. The only real way of sending a message is if the crowd turn en masse, not against Wagner - he’ll be gone sooner or later regardless. It needs to be aimed at her akin to the Chase Out era. It is the only way she’ll realise that time is up. Unfortunately, the modern day Norwich City supporter doesn’t have it in them to do so.

Can’t disagree with that, but people have to realise that until delia and Michael’s influence is over, nothing will change.

We’re looking really dreadful tonight. The problem is, that even when we’re winning games we don’t look much better.

Kieran McKenna might be looking for a step up by then?

May or may not be the case but you know we’d still be below sheff Utd if we were in there.

So frustrating today as the other results (except Leeds) have been favourable thus far!

Whatever the rules, sainz has shown a total lack of discipline and has almost certainly cost us the chance for three points and in all likelihood one point as well. Right or wrong, silly unnecessary booking that sainz needs to eradicate from his game. For all the promise of his excellent start, he’s no good to us if he’s unavailable!

Begins with an F. Could I have another clue please Bob?

I never used to struggle finding a nice river, but this season I just can’t get anything decent if at all. How are you guys managing it?

Id take a point but I can’t see us getting anything out of this one unfortunately 0-2

Now watch the world get offended on everybody else’s behalf over the Chelsea bit!

Surely, choosing a team to support is a thing from the heart no? Although plenty do, the teams you support shouldn’t be based on how good they are. If we all did that, there would only be support for 3-4 clubs in this country. Everybody else would have no support at all. Supporting teams in how good you deem them to be is the shallowest of reasons and is one of the reason football is so bland and crap these days. You should surely support your home town club, or club you have strong links to and your support your nation of birth. In what realm would anyone choose not to support their nation of birth or heritage for the reason of “they play bland football”? It’s the most non-commonsensical of reasons surely! You’re weird!

I think you’re right, there’s a psychological barrier of some sort there that needs breaking down. He reminds me a bit of heskey. I always felt that as good as heskey was, we very rarely saw his true potential realised.
