    and completely for now, sucked out of this great club. Nigh on 20 thousand supporters there for an unfashionable but potentially exciting tie against a mid table league 1 side. Starting with our main strikers, our best defender and club captain and defenders who have been involved enough this season. In fact other than Forshaw virtually every player in that starting line up had previously started games recently. It was a strong line up.

    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. 

    The coaching/tactics/in game management/will to win attitude/forward fast integrated play/aggression etc etc etc, is missing in action yet again. 

    Enough is enough. Sort it out NCFC, this is simply not acceptable, otherwise I strongly suspect you will reap the whirlwind that is coming!

    He seemed to be developing a good understanding with Josh in the early games of the season so I'd love to see them get back to that.

    Can't see why not. In fact he was quite integral to our play early doors and it is obvious since coming back from injury we have heavily relied on him. Give him a brief break and have him back fighting for us (in the footballing sense of course).

    People have short memories at times it seems.

    Let's be frank here. If Wagner had tried to match Southampton we would have been spanked and out of the game within 20-30 minutes. That we managed a point and not lose against what is clearly one of the best teams to come here this season is a low positive, but a positive non the less.

    I certainly feel we need a change of manager and coaching staff due to many reasons not least the latest poor showing at Millwall. However give the man credit for yesterday, he set us up and it worked.

    I'm not convinced he will cement us in the playoffs and suspect we will bounce around 7-10th for the remainder of the season, unless we remain injury free possibly.

    Agent Martin can go F*** himself. I want him leaving Carrow Road with his pants around his ankles  ! We are not doing this Ipswich, we are doing this for ourselves 

    My thoughts exactly. ipswich will take care of themselves. We need the win and some momentum to return with our players back

    Looking more and more like we really missed out by not giving him a job. :- (

    It would have been a huge risk at the time, in any way you look at it (with the exception of hindsight of course). 

    Not sure it would have worked out

    While some here worry about those scummy Binners i am more concerned about our direction of travel with nobody at the wheel.

    Oh, we have someone at the wheel.

    It's just that we have two punctures, a badly cracked windscreen, its raining, our wipers are split and with only first and reverse gear modes available, our managers forgotten to take off the handbrake!

    To take this discussion off at a slight tangent...would anybody be averse to a new stadium being built out of town with better transport links and parking and maybe a bit more geared up to holding more concerts, so better concourse catering etc.

    No! I hear you cry, Carrow Road is our spiritual home, but for me it's not the stadium I enjoyed my most memorable Norwich City moments in, from the mid seventies to maybe the mid nineties, swaying and singing in the Barclay and also the South Stand and even the River End. This was my spiritual home.

    I find the stadium today fairly soulless, the lack of an atmosphere in no small way due to all seating being introduced (don't be fooled into thinking safe standing will reverse this).

    So, I've waffled, how do others feel. Do people have the same feeling I had back in the good old days about the ground now? I know the football hasn't been great, I'm not using that as a stick.

    Having attended the ground since a young boy in the 70s I personally would be very disappointed if we moved to an out of town location and whilst I agree regarding the soul of the ground and the old Barclay etc, it's still Carrow Road.

    It's still the ground situated on the edge of a superb city centre, one we never tire of walking through, stopping at a pub or for a coffee before getting there. It's still the ground near a semi decent road network and good rail link. 

    I agree it's a bit soulless now however, I suspect that's nothing to how some iron/plastic bowl near the showground or A11 might be. Return of the flags/banners and some fight on the pitch and things will improve. Would like to see the ground developed and I believe another 7-8 thousand seats could be marketed to sell. Costs and viability? God knows

    No. Its another point taking us to 52 by Xmas.  We've maintained 2nd place.

    Whilst your point has made you further away from 6th than you were before the game.  

     

     

    You sir are an utter, utter cetin with your constant embarrassing lame excuses towards your team of bottlers.

    Do yourself and the rest of that pathetic support down there a favour, get a grip and f89k off

    My boy is sitting his GCSE’s this year. He was ONE when they last scraped a win against us.

    For any true binner supporter to be able to actually mentally remember a registered win against us they would have to actually be at least 20 plus years old or more.

    Just let that sink in. 

    Now you can see why they are so unhappy and embarrassed.
