    Got to do it consistently over a season though. Adam Armstrong went for £15m after 19 and 28 goals and his PL record suggests that wasn’t great value. 

    That will not stop clubs (including yourselves possibly) looking to put in a bid on a striker who looks the real deal against everyone he comes up against. Unfortunately.

    Unfortunately it's the way it is. If we fail to go up I suspect two or three of Rowe, Sargent, Sara, Sainz and Gunn will go, and want to go. However, we have been here before and we will build again.

    In any case there is a good chance we hit the playoffs and anything could happen. OTBC

    The concept of recycling possession and creating angles whilst a team sits in a low block is absolutely beyond the comprehension of these fans (see Buh on this thread as an example) and the only emotion they know how to express is general anger in the form of a boooo.

    This unfortunately is it. Most teams try to do it and we are not too bad at it in this league. However, there are people who go to the games who literally have no idea what they are watching tactically wise, yet will criticise the minute it doesn't go as they feel it should. Bizarre

    Pair of banker's sat near me actually. 

    They were winding kenny up then reacted to him when he had a go. ( Which was actually really un professional)

    They got some choice words from a few of us afterwards 

    I hope that's true.

    Absolute cretins moaning about our own player who was probably our most productive one again, today. Some old melt behind me never raises a single note of support for the team, yet one of the numerous passes by KM goes astray and we get a loud and utterly pathetic 'waat yer doin Mercleeen' shout from him!

    I just wish they would bog off and let someone else take their seat.  Pathetic support from certain sections at times.

    I'm a semi regular away supporter, but haven't been to a home game in years because I live miles away. I've got leave to go to the Ipswich game because of when it falls in school holidays.  BUT...

    I'm an away member, not home, I need two seats together, so I'll be fishing in the general release pool for a pair of tickets.

    What are my chances? I'm not so fussy about where I sit, but is it likely to be a capacity crowd?

    Also, how smart is it to bring a 13yo into THAT game? He's pretty smart and we know how to stay away from trouble, but I know that game can attract it around the ground.

    Would be surprised if it isn't a sell out so good luck with getting tickets. It will be a great game.

    As for trouble itself?  I suspect there could be issues afterwards if we lose the match but it's not difficult to avoid it, so I would definitely take your 13yr old.

    Is this the right location, can anyone confirm?

    NCFC_Nest_On_gmaps.thumb.jpg.d3b868cc9475a6560f5e43336dcdc417.jpg

    As a kid I was always told it was much further north where the gas works towers were.  So if that is the spot, it turns out I've been telling my lad wrong all these years too!

    Yes you are in the correct area. There are flats built there now. However, I would not know if you have the ground shown at the right angle or not.

    I believe there was a sign in that area indicating that this was the sight of the old nest?

    One word of warning if you have a very tall person in front of you, you also struggle to see a bit.

    Thanks for the warning. Having first stood on the terraces in the late 70s I fully agree. Infact I spent many matches probably only seeing 50% of them due to restricted viewing on various terraces.

    Mind you when we were a div 1 club in the 80s I can remember actually being able to sit on the terraces and watch some games, such was the low crowd numbers.

    I think the expectation is that it will be popular, and people will want to move to that area - they presumably don’t know for sure yet, I guess it’s sensible planning.   I’m happy where I am in the upper Barclay.

    I see your point. However, seeing as most stand there anyway I'm surprised there is a waiting list as I thought you could still sit if you wanted to with the rail type seating?

    Might be good to have a shake up and possibly generate a better atmosphere.

    Wagner has said he and his partner are expecting a child. Good for him; if the child ends up as good as their father maybe we can sign them to the academy in years to come? 😂

    Probably why he put the ball up his shirt after scoring today then, I did wonder at the time

    Chocolate teapot for most of the time, Robert Earnshaw frequently.

     

    Loved Earnshaw playing for us. Quality (in my opinion)

    Fassnacht is an intelligent player and will get better as the season progresses I feel. More to come from him (although I believe that was his 6th goal this season today)

    I've certainly noticed Sainz coming central a lot more in the last couple of games, so I guess the primary change is the nominal 'wide' players being more versatile and able to play more narrowly than usual

    I think the tactic is that he and the other 'winger' squeezes in when we don't have the ball and wider when we do. 

    I would like to see him tried just behind the main striker at some point. probably our most exciting player at the mo, worth the entrance money that's for sure

    You know I remember seeing a lot of non Norwich fans mocking us and saying how embarrassing and entitled many Norwich fans have come across recently, with them seeing us as a bunch of moaners who expect us to win every match 3-0 and walk the leauge with ease..

     

    They're not wrong

    Utter bollox. You must have been cavorting with some binners one evening. Having been mid table or out of the PO spots for much of this season, I'm surprised people feel we think we should be beating teams 3-0 each match.

    Garbage !

    Just out of interest, if Sarge isn't available today, how would you set the team up? You can't really drop Barnes after a goal and an assist on Tuesday, so I guess it's just hoping that he deems SVH ready for a start. But if he starts with Barnes up top and Sara just behind, I hope we can still just get behind the team.

    I'd start Nunez and move Sara further forward behind Barnes. Perhaps give SVH longer in the second half.

    And no I will not be booing the substitutions, as I didn't boo the obvious reason for change on Tuesday.

    The gulf between the fans and the leadership team grows by the week . It doesn’t end well for the club if it continues.

    it is up to the Board of Directors to sell a vision of the future along with the season ticket renewals if they want to have a better season next year

    Only the Messiah Paul Lambert can save us now 

    Don't you have www.tw4ts.com/forum to pollute bin boy?

    Your silly comments fool no one, as you have been told may times.

    Our fans are digging a whole the club is going to have really fight hard to come out of.

     

    Unfortunately this is it in a nutshell. We, the support is causing damage which may take a while to overcome at this rate.

    I sit in the centre of the upper River end and there are fans there who NEVER support the team vocally, NO MATTER how or who we are playing. Yet last night they were the first to start booing the substitution of probably our most important player WHO IS BEING MANAGED BACK FROM INJURY. You couldn't make this stuff up. Petulance, petty and pathetic.

    Why would a player choose us over another team (money aside)? The players 100% react to the booing and luckily we came up with a result last night.

    I firmly believe we need a change in manager and importantly coaches, at the end of the season, but our support is more likely going to be destroying this one (season) first.

    There's no 'should' . He has every right to say what he wants. Those people angry that he's said it are most likely the ones who have been the problem the last two seasons.

    He certainly does have every right to say what he wants, but should he have said it? I'm not so sure. It may have been better just to point out to the boo boys that they are not aways right, as in this case. Feel he has just made a bad situation a whole lot worse
