    [quote user="Woodman"]And apparently the previous win 29 years ago was with a certain B Gunn in goal. History repeating itself, can''t believe its nearly 30 years ago though![/quote]

    Me neither! Can''t recall much apart from the archaic concrete crush barriers.

    Travelled up on Cabbage. Can remember what I though was a great goal from Flecky but TV showed it was a deflection.

    Seem to remember Trevor Putney had a good game but still didn''t like him for his ex-bin connection.

    [quote user="ron obvious"]"It could be that it just ''clicks'' for him here "

    Surely not - that''d be like like an ex tyre-fitter who''d had anonymous spells at places like Notts. Forest & only had any real success at Shrewsbury getting into double figures in the Prem. Preposterous.

    Lol, that''s exactly who I thought of too Ron

    [quote user="Indy_Bones"][quote user="A Load of Squit"]From the Racing Post, interesting view;https://www.racingpost.com/sport/norwich-not-as-bad-as-shocking-scoreline-at-millwall-suggests/298473"The pressing game Farke wants to use needs time to be coached,

    particularly from a defensive point of view because if even one player

    switches off teams are often left looking hopelessly exposed.

    David Wagner''s Huddersfield career started with five defeats in seven

    games and 14 goals conceded, while Tottenham were desperate in the

    early days under Mauricio Pochettino, failing to win six of their

    opening nine league matches with some heavy defeats.

    Whether Farke is up to the standard of Wagner or Pochettino remains

    to be seen but it will need the people of Norfolk to show patience,

    which is admittedly much easier said than done. However, this

    performance was not as bad as the scoreline suggests."[/quote]That''s a great find ALOS, and one I completely agree with.

    Huddersfield finished 19th in Wagner''s first season, Poch struggled in his initial 9 games, as did Klopp at Liverpool who also got just 3 wins in his first 9 games, and the more involved the system they want to use, the longer it will often take for players to adapt and know what they can and can''t get away with doing in games.

    This process will be made easier if you have better players, which also shows why it took Wagner much longer to get things going at Huddersfield than it did either of Poch or Klopp, and also why it''s likely to take Farke somewhere in-between the two, as we have better players than Hudd did when Wagner took over, but nowhere close to either of Spurs or Liverpool.

    Knee-jerk reactions, demands to return to 4-4-2, slating of player etc, are NOT going to help in any meaningful way here.

    Totally this.

    [quote user="Budapest Canary"][quote user="Making Plans"][quote user="Budapest Canary"]Let''s focus on positives: we have 71 per cent possession![/quote]25% of that was picking the ball out of the back of the net[/quote]

    Don''t be sop negative. Possession increased to 74-24 without conceding a single goal in the meantime. Pure class.[/quote]

    Who had the other 2%?

    [quote user="westcoastcanary"][Y] mr footy. But when so many people appear not to understand the meaning of the English word "patience", I''m afraid classical references will be completely lost on them. [;)]

    Spot on Mr footy.

    Sadly we now live in a world of high demand and instant gratification. Hype from endless media sources does not help.

    Patience was last seen in a time of no league tables published until 3 games had been played and you had to wait outside the newsagent on a Saturday night for the pinkun to be printed and delivered.

    As time has progressed, more clubs have reached higher levels or peaks of achievement in their history and nostalgia (and marketing) plays tricks with the average fan''s sense of perspective.

    Older posters like Ricardo/Nutty/Til get it.

    They have been watching the game for a long time and can remember managers like Bill Nic, Bill Shankly, Harry Catterick, Bertie Mee etc NOT WINNING a trophy but retaining their jobs for years because their chairmen had patience and the fans revered them and understood the game.

    It took a club of our size 70 years to reach the top division.

    We''ve had some wonderful ups and downs in recent seasons but sadly it has made spoilt brats out of some of US.

    There, it''s my birthday today and I have treated myself to a rant from atop my high horse!
