It’s a beautiful thought but I’m afraid that’s all it is. This season is a write off I’m afraid. The best we can hope for is for Ipswich to somehow blow it and that doesn’t look likely at all.

I haven’t got the balls for it, I can’t see anything other than an embarrassing heavy defeat. Everything off til Sunday afternoon for me

This will be my strategy also. Check late enough in the day so it doesn’t ruin your Sunday!

I’d say Gunn does, he’s grown up a Norwich fan so hopefully he’s an influential character

We know they know, they’d have to be stupid not to. Question is, do this lot care?
do you trust them to care the way we would if we were playing against them?

Gunn is a top quality keeper. Shocking that some doubted this in recent times. Maybe Long’s little spell wasn’t such a bad thing, perhaps it’s shown people how good it is to have a Gunn in goal.

What’s wrong with that? Love to see someone caring? Isn’t that what we all want?

It can be as simple as a cup of tea
Her Ego is indeed key, the AGM showing made that clear.
She did make a bit of a fool of herself at the AGM, I will give you that.

Get a life and organise a petition or something, not a public humiliation for someone who has given so much time, love and commitment to the club. I am totally certain we would not have had all the ups we have had without her.
Things are moving behind the scenes, just let it happen and keep YOUR ego to yourself.
I agree strongly that delia and MWJ’s time is up. I also agree with this post from Lakey. Turning to nastiness for two people in their 80’s (who do care about our club) is classless and distasteful.
I’m all for a vocalising at the games etc but “baiting her” and attacking her personally and all that kind of thing is not the way.
But this is why she should step aside gracefully and a soon as possible. The reason Daniel Farke is held in such high esteem is because he left before things got dragged through the gutter. Delia should do the same so she can leave as a kind of “Mother Norwich City” figure rather than end up the way of Robert Chase. Even Chase admitted in later years that in hindsight he wished he’d have recognised his shelf life and walked away sooner and with respect.

To be honest, as much as I think Wagner isn’t working out, I’d take more pleasure if I woke tomorrow to find that Knapper has sacked everyone who has been involved in player recruitment and is planning an overhaul of our recruitment team/process. That’s been where half our problem has come from. Give a good coach a carp squad and he’ll struggle. Give a bad coach a carp squad and he’ll struggle even more.
Its hard to give names as suggestions as we simply do not, as fans, know who is out there beyond the known names.

What’s the thing with his driving?

8 minutes ago, Petriix said:The problem with Idah (as anyone who's encountered him driving or parking will testify) is that he's quite simply stupid. There's no amount of coaching that could teach him how, when and where to run.
He's got great physical attributes and a reasonable level of skill but he has no idea how to turn those things into success on the pitch. He virtually never gets assists because he can't work out how to play the simple passes in the final third. He might score 10 goals in the season but he's never going to improve the team.
Pretty much this. I wouldn’t like to call the guy stupid but as far as a “football brain” goes, there just doesn’t seem to be much going on.
it’s a real shame because as many have said, his physical attributes are there in abundance, he just needs to figure out how to get himself out of first gear and get on the front foot in a game. Show some hunger and determination rather than saunter about letting the game pass him by.
He is VERY frustrating because you’re always left feeling like he just can’t quite get himself where he needs to be performance wise yet he should be doing it quite easily.

That sums things up actually. It’s pretty telling that at 2-0 up, I still expect us to lose a game. Terrible times.
-
I agree, he needs to go. Time is up. But do you honestly think that things would improve under a new head coach? This squad is dire and even our best players are no better than average.
I honestly believe this club is stuck in this position until there is real change at the top. I.e. Delia and Michael have stood down completely. Until then we’re just going to be stuck on this same path I fear.

Wagner is in for it tonight. Bar the back four, It's a really poor, disjointed line up. There's no excuse for it, he has options to change it.
Hard to see anything other than a very comfortable Watford I’m afraid.

2 minutes ago, Capt. Pants said:I think Onel must have something on Wagner. Quite astonishing he keeps his place.
What about the other 10? They must also have something on Wagner no?
-
From what little I’ve seen of him he doesn’t look deserving of the start everybody seems to be clamouring for. More questionable recruitment again is how it looks.
-
Wagner is on borrowed time. If he makes it as far as the Ipswich game, then that is the only game in which he has any chance of winning back the majority of the fan base.
Lose it though and he’s done.

Just now, alex_ncfc said:Very strange how someone with such a poor injury record is now a first team starter with another club. Makes you wonder about our poor "luck" with injured players.
What does it make you wonder?

5-1 Ipswich I’m afraid. It’s the kind of result football throws up so we’ll no longer be able to use that score line against them. It’s a cert!
