Creedence Clearwater Couto

It was a very bold prediction. But we’ve been here before, haven’t we?! Essentially I recognised the importance of the Sargent and Barnes fulcrum, and the more pertinent point overarching my prediction (which was extreme to get the point across), was that the wheels would fall off and it would be a catastrophic collapse in form. I was proved right, ultimately, and confirmed by your petulance ignoring me during the poor run. Fortunately for us, as Norwich fans, it wasn’t as bad as my prediction. But take away the wins at Bristol City and Cardiff and it would’ve been. My judgement has been further enhanced by the form since the pair returned to fitness too. I could see how critical S&B were, most, including you couldn’t. But certainly do now. Anyway… hopefully that one’s done. But if anyone doesn’t want to continue being ‘kind’ to me and call me out forever and more, feel free. Really childish mate 😂 Anyway back on topic. “Funny how Farke came in for McLean and not Nunez.” What are your trying to prove with that statement? Farke clearly came in for McLean because he rates him for the Championship and knows he very well having managed him for 3.5 season. Awful ‘evidence’ to prove your view McLean is a better player than Nunez. As a Championship side, we’re fortunate to have both though, aren’t we.

More than decent championship players usually get snapped up by EPL clubs…. And yet here he is. Which is a nice thing of course. I know you love Mclean, or rather the controversy of doing so, but ‘anyone’ who watches football can see Nunez is a more talented player.

They’ve been crap since Xmas

I think the issue with McLean is that he’s a bit of a Jack of all trades and master of none. He’s never made the step up to the EPL, and in all honestly is a player we should’ve outgrown and replaced upon promotion. The fact he stayed and played, pretty much summed up the issue we had recruiting players. None of the above is his fault of course, and he always continues to give his all. At Championship level, he’s decent. But even so, take Sara or Nunez away; and he doesn’t look half the player, even at this level.

It’s going to be interesting if we play them. I think our key players in Sarge, Sara, Sainz and Rowe are pound 4 pound better than theirs, but their squad has far more quality in depth. I still wouldn’t fancy us against them, especially over two legs, but I’m a pessimist!

Tbh.. between the pair of them they nearly messed it right up!! Sarge has previous in front of that goal too!

I get satire, just not when you attempt it 🤷‍♂️

At this rate 6th place might also be a high number, 80 maybe.

Yeah for sure, not impossible for 3rd place to miss out on 100 pts. How absolutely awful would that be if it happened to Ipswich 🙈

RJ, I find you absolutely bizarre mate. I really do.

Unselfish acts like today’s assist for Sargent are a really, really positive sign of a happy player that puts the team first, IMO. Love to see it.

Gonna be some points haul for the top two this season.

Sensible decision. Glad the club is showing some teeth.

80 Percenters mate, ignore the anti-atmosphere shandy drinkers.

Great win!! I’ll whisper it, I’m starting to believe in Wagner and this side.

Injured??!

Get in there!!! Sargent and Barnes combo really seems to work 👀

Of all the anger, feelings of injustice and moaning surrounding Howson and the red card, I don’t think I read one comment along the lines of “if only we had VAR.” I think that says it all.

Underated - Dimi Overated - Gunn

Had a great start to life at WBA. I think we've probably missed our opportunity on this one.

Yeah.

Is his mate a marriage councillor? 😅

If we sell Sargent and don’t replace him and go with Idah leading the line, I’ll be seriously pissed off.

But we neglected that in Farke’s last Prem campaign and the subsequent Championship campaigns under Smith (bar Rowe) and Wagner. Matos should’ve been playing under Smith, and then Aboh following on. Clearly the club recognises the above and with Knapper at the helm making moves back to the 2018/19 strategy. Hopefuly after Aboh, we don’t see this happen again.

You don't play Derby anymore, that was League One. I know you were stuck there for a while being insignificant, but please keep up 😉
