It's hard to argue against the suggestion that we put a massive spanner in their works when we drew their cup final. However, they are a decent team so it will be an interesting run in.

Barnes certainly showed what was required in that position. Sara is a class player but was more comfortable further back I thought.
Cov are an excellent team, we played well.

He had another excellent game and has matured into a superb keeper for us.
Kenny (again) played a great game as well.

Raw talent and can move with the ball. The same temperament as Buendia which is an issue.
I can assure you he has not gone under the radar with the support at CR. Just keep it quiet though

The Binners are discussing whether it was intentional or not and whether he should be prosecuted.
I would suggest the former and that he's a tree surgeon by profession and saw the opportunity of earning a few extra bob whilst he was at the ground.
Looks like he fell from the tree of life into a bush of sadness....

Just now, Hairy Canary said:Really harsh to call that pass a big mistake. Kenny often tries ambitious passes. Sometimes they don't come off. We complain that we play too safe as a team and yet when one of our midfielders tries spmething more attacking he gets slated for "a big mistake" when it gets intercepted.
That is classic scapegoating unfortunately. He made a mistake then rectified it with seriously good play. Which part is highlighted first though?
KM is he type of player we will miss when gone from here. Sara makes a number of mistakes a game but generally plays well and is part of our more successful endeavours, yet he is seldom picked out by posters.
There is absolutely no question some supporters miss what he brings. He may not be the top PL player we would like however, we are not in the PL and as said each of his managers consistently pick him for their teams.
There is a reason for that.

11 hours ago, Worthy Nigelton said:Silly point to make. Of course he's better than me but you're judged at the level you're at. Sargent and Sara would be deemed crap if Man City had bought them. Equally, George Long would be an awesome goalkeeper for my five-a-side team.
You say it's a silly point to make then reiterate my point. He is not 'crap', and calling him that is the issue for me (and others by the look of it)
It is nasty and disrespectful towards one of our players who may not quite be up to the level we need right now, but given time here or else where could be a real asset.

He is certainly not crap. Just to get to this level in football means he must be quite talented and had obviously worked very hard to do so.
Seeing posters write off a young player just because he is not 100% ready for the first team is frankly poor especially with some of the disgusting comments.

Correct answer. Seems many forget this when responding

48 minutes ago, Beetley Yellow said:Another “he felt the touch so had to go down”…., Bruno Fernandes for Man Utd at Wigan. Minimal contact, never enough to cause the theatrical collapse to the floor that ensued. Pathetic cheating yet now taken as ‘business as usual’ in the modern game.
He was touched on his toe, then held his ankle in what looked like agony, giving the ref the choice to book for diving or a penalty.
He took the easy option. A clear dive

38 minutes ago, Beetley Yellow said:…. “You’re going to get what Jimmy Rimmer got”, was quite a popular chant in the Barclay in subsequent matches I seem to recall. I don’t recall what the ‘threat to our very existence’ was all about. Were we that much on the brink financially back then that a hefty fine would have bankrupted us?
Probably yes. I suspect the general low level of home support did not fulfil the financial requirement to run the club.

1 hour ago, Channon’s Windmill said:Was a regular standing in the Barclay as a teenager back then. 12,500 in for this game which was slightly below the normal, 16k was a decent crowd with the norm around 14k. The crowd were certainly more vocal back then and there where some pretty original chants, however forgetting the nostalgia, coin throwing and worse was rife as was racist chanting, dark days, would be nice to have an in between atmosphere. I guess we did for a while under Farke.
I too remember that time well. Wasn't at that particular game but clearly remember the coin throwing, and other matters at many games. Also remember well the netting set up to stop it.
City fans were certainly no saints back then but they definitely had an edge and would generally make their feelings well known if they were not happy.
The season we went up under Worthy and the next season in the PL were probably the best 'season long' atmospheres at CR and it was all seating. So what do I know

1 minute ago, overthebordercanary said:But with a few all premiership ties in the 3rd round and more in the 4th it will be just typical of them going on a cup run.
I can see that happening yes. Maidstone at home is probably the draw most Champs/L1 would have wanted I suspect
-
Let's be honest here. If we get past Bristol Rovers, Liverpool will field a side so young they'll not only need signed parental permission to do so, the parents will probably have to be sat in the dug out as well.
Oh and commiserations to Maidstone Utd. After all that effort only to be unfortunately drawn against the binners must be a real disappointment.
Especially as they have to play at portaloo rd.

Just for sh)ts and giggles it would be fun. However, I feel we would soon regret it

41 minutes ago, vos said:I don’t agree this was a strong lineup. With key players returning from injury we should have played our full strength side who will start against Hull. We desperately need a huge improvement in attacking intent coupled with significant improvement with our crossing. This would have been an ideal opportunity to get some cohesion and confidence in to the side. It was criminal to waste time again with Hernandez and Idah in particular. I do not accept the argument that some players need a rest. The top teams who play in Europe regularly play twice a week with full strength sides. Possible injuries - well that is always a possible risk. Bearing in mind the crowd makeup was slightly different it was a golden opportunity to bring back some positivity to Carrow Road. Wagner and his coaches just do not seem to be up for it.
This was by definition a strong line up for an FA cup game against a mid table league 1 side. Sara who was missing was I believe the only player who has appeared in every game so for this season. Long had a very good game and kept us in it. We had our main strikers available and defenders

1 hour ago, Midlands Yellow said:Were they loud and proud today? I remember supporting them at Filbert Street decades ago when Malcolm Allison was manager. Only around 500 of them but they made good noise.
They made themselves heard that's for sure. However, despite our poor performance I thought the Barclay were fairly resilient generally, in their vocal support
-
3 minutes ago, Capt. Pants said:Just noticed we finished the game with only 10 men.
Hanley downed tools and fcuked off holding his back and we brought no one on presumably because Wagner had already used his 3 subs options during the half.
Have I missed something there?
We had used our three opportunities for subs by then.

I had the wireless on at the game so may have got my wires crossed a bit with it. Seems like 17 years though

17 years since the last win in the FA cup in front of a crowd at CR.
Quite shocking if this is the case
-
Yep, boredom would be my guess as well. I was too bored to take part

1 minute ago, Unthink road said:On the subject of younger faces at the game today, I thought it was fantastic. We rely on a great fan base and seeing the crowd today, was for me the problem with our current capacity. If we could offer a really cheap season ticket for the younger crowd, we sow the seeds for our future.
Completely agree with you. It was really encouraging to see so many new faces. Yes I understand that we are not selling out but there does need to be some financial encouragement to get younger fans in.
Considering the season we are having, we had circa 20k people there today

1 minute ago, Feedthewolf said:Still makes me cringe that she came out with that at the AGM. Such a rank piece of bad PR.
Yes, very poorly timed comments unfortunately. Obviously out of frustration but still it would have been better to have refrained rather than attack.

The ground is full of new young supporters, probably here for the first time this season, excited at a potentially positive attacking display by city and what do we end up? An abjectly poor, lethargically mind numbing, painfully disjointed and frankly tediously boring 1-1 drab 90 minutes of uninspiring pointlessly ineffective football. Hang your heads in shame Norwich senior management.
Hopefully the NCFC fan who was being breastfed near me wasn’t too disappointed with the performance to put him/ her off future games
Ha ha, that is brilliant.
Probably the most contented city fan in the ground today (the infant not you Daly)
Worst miss you've seen a Norwich player make?

Thought that was John Walk?
Or are we talking about another game?
