What was Andy Hughes doing at end of match ?
East Rider replied to norfolkngood's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Honestly no idea why he thought it was a good plan to approach the support after that. It looks like he just wants to talk, but Christ on a bike, after the dismal season we have just endured did he really thing that City the fans who were left at the end will want to chat about what might have been? The guys seems a deluded fool if that was his intention. It looks like the police took the sensible option and ushered him away form them. -
Looking forward to it. Miss those games

Former EDP Fans Eye Now Has His Say.
East Rider replied to TIL 1010's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Correct. The bald one certainly snuck out at the wrong moment. However, that we have not built on our superb chances when momentum and support was there in abundance, to establish or at least remain in the PL for anything other than a fleeting and unforgettable moment each time is simply criminal. I find it difficult to look too far past that. -
Will this spoil Pukki's last home game?
East Rider replied to canarybubbles's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
If he even gets on the pitch. Should have been on at half time today, would have given them something to think about -
Exactly. Absolutely bizarre that we could have been top six all the same

And that's all hopes of promotion over
East Rider replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Is there anyone who can't see that happening? -
Just what I was thinking. An absolutely unbelievably poor season as far as consistency goes, yet we could have been in the top six this evening. Bizarre

If we played Ipswich now
East Rider replied to NeymarSmith's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Might not be a fact, but probably close though. I honestly couldn't give a monkeys if they are promoted and we do play them next season. In fact if we do it will be a couple of highlights in the season for me. What I do know is that there will be a clamour for tickets to go to portaloo road and we will probably hammer them....................again. And if they manage to scrape a result against us after so long, it might make the fixtures competitive again. Bring them on -
Wagner appeals again!
East Rider replied to yellowrider120's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
It resulted in an immediate throw in for us at their end near the corner I thought, followed by a corner to us I think. It is seriously frustrating taking a free kick on the half way line and it eventually going back to our keeper for a pressured lob forward, when a set piece ball into the box could have been an option from that free kick, especially when requiring a goal. However, the booing at the end was unwarranted in my opinion and it often seems those booing the loudest are the quietest when support is needed during the game. Strange days -

East Rider replied to yellowrider120's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Spot on. However, I thought the Barclay in particular and the snakepit did a grand job in creating an atmosphere last game at home. Try sitting in the River end, an absolute morgue. I however, will be as loud as ever and as usual will lose my voice by the end -
I voted for Kenny, think he has been excellent this year. We will need him for the last few games of this season

8 match ban - Mitrovic
East Rider replied to PockthorpePete's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
' Following the announcement the FA said it would appeal against both sanctions..' Lets hope it gets extended then. I presume the FA feel it's too lenient? -
Think realistically we would need another 10 points before we meet West Brom to stand any chance. I'd be very surprised (and pleased) if we achieve that. We would also have to hope that the 3 teams just below us, who are all performing better than us in the last 5-6 games, have a dip. We live in hope.

City elite / drum at blackburn
East Rider replied to Greavsy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Good effort in my opinion. Love seeing support like this and long may it continue and grow. -
Who do you want in the playoff final.
East Rider replied to PockthorpePete's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Luton are a very well supported team with a ton of fans. There ground is far too small, but rest assured they have a large supporter base. I find it amusing that where ever I go in the world it seems you will often find a fellow canary or a Luton fan. -
Correct and bang on point. There may be the odd exception with one or two of our team, but generally they have collectively fallen short, not just a single player. It's easy to follow the herd and give stick to the current appointed scapegoat, keeps you popular I suppose. Can't stand it myself
-
Always liked him with his endeavour and felt many have unfairly scapegoat him. To see him receiving the plaudits he deserves bodes well for all things NCFC. We need more characters like The Mayor, not less

Now that is a great ideaš¤£
-
The fact there are supporters who actively try to keep the atmosphere going is great news. Groups like city elite et al are good for the club and from my seat in the morgue Riverend, it is noticeable that they start and maintain most of the chanting/singing now. Even the Snakepit has eased off and they use to be equal to the Barclay (in my opinion) I haven't sat close to the drum, but then again if you go into that area you should know what you're getting

Football is broken isn't it?

There is probably nothing else to say, other than this. -
Goals from Midfield (Dowell)
East Rider replied to Google Bot's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
My feelings exactly and I am enjoying his performances now he is being given the licence to play in a prefered position. More to come I feel -
All is not so rosy down the road either....
East Rider replied to Captain Holt's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I understand your point. However, we (the team) tend to show up for big games and our support knows this. There is definitely a group moan or more when it is obvious things are not right on the field and in that regard, rightly or wrongly, our support make their feelings loud and known, generally very quickly. Their support however, tend to always let matters fester until the rot is very deep with little in the way of fan protest or action (save a few kids with a flare at their training ground). That is a weakness they seam to be riddled with. The ippo team itself is fragile and continually buckles under pressure. They have spent a fortune relatively speaking and it's still going south -

East Rider replied to Captain Holt's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
They are particularly fragile when the pressure is on (team and fans). Also have quite an astonishing ability to 'whimp out' when the exact opposite is needed at times. Reality is that there are many poor teams in that league and they should easily make the playoffs. Unless, of course, they do their usual and cave in under pressure again. I've said time and again that the support there is pitifully weak and lacks a backbone. I suspect the negativity just rolls down to the playing staff. Repetitive
