Their decision to go gung ho for the win when they were drawing two two at Ip5w1ch could come back and bite them on the bùm. A draw there would have given them one more point but more importantly rob the binners of two.

Hwang vs Hooijdonk
Hairy Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Idah, Hwang, SVH in that order. -
I'm not sure where this often stated conviction that Wagner will go in the summer comes from. There's no indication from the club that that is their intention. In fact quite the opposite in both word and deed. Delia was quite open about aspiring a long term manager in her last interview and also the club stood by Wagner when virtually everyone (myself included) wanted him gone when the wheels came off earlier this season. It fact it was public knowledge that Delia rang Wagner to offer her support at that time. Personally I think the club will feel that decision has been totally vindicated by the upturn in performances, whatever now transpires. Next year, if we don't go up, we are going to have to make some serious economies when the parachute payments end, and that's going to mean sales, big changes and a period of rebuild. My reading of the way the Board reacts is that that means Wagner is much more likely to stay than go.

A well-managed game.

Interesting you thought we could have been three down at half time. I certainly didn’t see it like that. Like Parma’s post above I didn’t feel feel concerned at all. Maybe Sargent stayed on for more minutes because we now don’t have a game for 7 days and can manage his recovery? Also why give your opponent information about your lineup when you don’t have to? -
Not sure there is a decision to make yet. Rowe is only just back so hardly going to be ready to play 90 mins in the next game, or even two. Coming off the bench seems ideal. Be brilliant to have a sub that can make a possible difference. If and when we get to the playoffs there’ll be more of a decision to make. Let’s hope everyone stays fit and we have that luxury.

Absolutely! Seems obvious we are trying to manage his workload and recovery time. -

Talk about faint praise! Great win, tactics spot on. Rowe back and Sargent played nearly 90 mins and you have to come out will this negativity. What is it? You need to be proven right that when Sargent went off against Wednesday Wagner lied to cover up his bad call rather than Sargent feeling his ankle? Sad. -
Everyone agrees we are worse when Sargent doesn’t play, isn’t fit etc. Wagner has to decide if our next best option is to play SVH or to go to a plan B and play a different system. From what I’ve seen neither option fills me with optimism.

I was thinking that. If they had settled for a two two away at Ip5w1ch after they’d had a man sent off they would definitely be in the hunt.

Absolutely gutless...

Thank goodness I’m not the only one thinking that. Well said. -
Remaining fixtures all teams
Hairy Canary replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
We’re 5th, 6th or 7th I reckon. Personally I think 5th is a big advantage over 6th as Southampton are the weakest team above us. WBA in the final 😀 -
NCFC history - Anyone know the answer?

Probably because they were wearing blue and white… -
Ricardo's report v 1p5wich Town
Hairy Canary replied to ricardo's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Your report compared to Ricardo’s is about on par with the difference between the two teams today. -
Derby day predictions
Hairy Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Usually a team with 87 points after 40 games would be close to home and dry, another 6 points would be plenty. A draw away at a top six team would be fine. This year though a draw wont be enough. The way the table is they'd probably drop out of the top two if that happens. So they are going to have to come here and look to win. I feel that will play into our hands. We're pretty good at playing on the break especially if they commit players forward. Nice and tight to start and the pressure will build on them..... 🙂 -

It’s one of those games which could go any way. They’re buzzing after Southampton but we’re good at home and I feel we are a bit like a monkey on their backs while that unbeaten run goes on. I’m not expecting us to lose
