Also, we looked completely disjointed. Whenever a player had the ball, it seemed they didn't know what to do with it. Too many stray passes. Players struggled to link up. Poor first touches. The only moment of real quality was Pukki's goal.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Where ?!?!

Unfortunately BBC Radio Norfolk is unable to play commentary for Norwich’s premier league games. Very frustrating.

I agree. He feel he throws himself into challenges too recklessly for me.

Other than that….sterling effort putting that intro together!

Global kick-off map is off by an hour for America. East coast of America is 5 hours behind. The map is from the Brentford game. At that time the clocks had not gone back for America.

I would agree with everything except the last sentence. I can’t agree that this is the lowest point. But I do feel that if this situation isn’t rectified quickly, we will spiral down to such a point. In all honesty, I feel that if this is mishandled, we could be playing ITFC in league one in three seasons.

Maybe consider a title that isn’t a question that implies John Terry as manager, maybe?

Thank you Daniel Farke for cultivating the most dynamic, fluid and entertaining style of play that NCFC has ever seen. I wish you and yours all best as you move forward with your managerial career.

From the PinkUn -May, 2021 ”At various AGMs during the last four years, the ambitions of the club have been outlined, which has included the aim to become an established club inside the top 26 of English football.” As painful as it is to witness the results on the field, from the business side, everything is actually going according to plan. What say you?

Absolutely! Something is way off. We can’t be that much better than the Championship and this bad in Premier League.

Todd’s attitude has probably got the better of him, again. Also, from what I’ve seen so far this season, he’s lightweight on the ball and the opposition don’t fall for his tricks, so he becomes stroppy and a liability. I guess I feel Todd is a poor man’s Cristiano Ronaldo. He simply needs to get his act together and step up.

From a fan's perspective, you are 100% correct. But if the business model is to be a financially self-sufficient, top 26 team were young talent is bought cheap, developed and show cased in the NCFC store front window for other clubs to buy at an insane profit, then it would have to be acknowledged that the plan is working. It's a matter of perspective. As a fan.....it sucks. But maybe the plan isn't to be a stable premier league team. It seems NCFC are perfecting the profitable art of yo-yoing. And to add...... Does anyone actually think we'll ever win the Premier League, or the FA Cup, or challenge in Europe? As fans we'd be happy with mid-table mediocrity for a while, but that's our ceiling in our current set-up. Mid table mediocrity simple means hemorrhaging millions of pounds. So, it looks like NCFC are taking an alternative route. What can be said is that NCFC have at least tried harder this go around in the Prem than before.

Wow…What?…I have to sit down. This is probably the most sound and immediately applicable solution I have read on this forum. It would really take nothing at all to make this happen. Excellent idea.

NEWS FLASH…..JUST IN…… Chelsea FC are lending players to other clubs in order to improve the strength of their assets. STOP. It is guesstimated that those players will either be: a.) signed to the first team. b.) sold to the club that they were loaned to. c.) sold to a different club. d.) encouraged to find a new vocation. STOP. In seems therefore that Chelsea FC are operating their club like a business. STOP. Some people are upset that they are able to do such a thing on a larger scale than the club they support. STOP. I wonder if these same people who complain about Chelsea FC’s loan activity would also complain if NCFC were in a similarly strong position and did the same thing? STOP. I wonder if these same people who complain about Chelsea FC’s loan activity would also complain of NCFC were in a similarly strong position to loan players, and didn’t? STOP. Get over it. We are where we are, doing what we do and other clubs are where they are, doing what they do. STOP.

Absolute classic!

What irritates me is if say, I look for and then buy a pair of shoes online, for weeks after I’m still hounded by ads for shoes from the very company I bought from.

I agree. But the question was, would you look that player in the eye and recto end that they come out in public?

This. There won't be a singular answer that will appease those who are demanding one. Further, the level of placation by the board would be nauseating. Your examples are excellent with regards to when it would be a relevant to demand answers. Having a bad run of games does not justify demanding a meeting with the board.

All fans are created equal. But some fans are created more equal than others.... 😉

Eventually. But a little too soon.

Also, there a a few relegation release and probably buy-out clauses, so I feel we’d be stripped of our new signings.

The intensity and pressures of a game are very different from any practice scenario that a coach can create, no matter how hard they try. For example, how could DF have prepared the team for the physicality of the game they just played against Watford without significantly increasing the odds of a player being injured in practice? ‘Telling’ the new players, some of which have not played or have not played for very long in the Prem, and reviewing games will not prepare anyone for how Rose (or the other Watford players for that matter) will bulldoze through them in real life.
