    Think tonights booking is Zimmermans fifth of the season so he will miss Saturdays game.

    The comment that made me laugh was " it is a sign when a player like Bamford can come in after being bought for several million pounds and not in the line up" does Farke not know Bamford was here and coul;dn''t get in our line up but as Leeds played well it shows how far we have regressed.

    One of the problems to my way of thinking is what if Farke is not the problem but Webber is are we stuck with him.

    The finances maybe alright but the team looks a bit weak.

    VAR works it is those that are viewing it that are letting it down.

    My sort the sort that have been going since the late fifties regularly. The sort that saw the blankets being taken round to keep the club afloat. Don''t dig out supporters whilst supporting those running the club. It was Webber who said if supporters didn''t like it they could go elsewhere not me. Huddersfield don''t seem to have missed him in fact they closed their academy after he left.

    Seeing Maddison go to Leicester my mind wandered back to the King Power Stadium and our visit under Lambert. We won the game 3-1 or 3-2 were worthy winners. We have gone backwards and Leicester have gone forward they can afford £20+ million pound players and we are looking in the bargain basement. I cannot see any progress in the near future and with Webber telling supporters to go elsewhere if they don''t like it he might get his wish.

    Does anyone know when the players return for pre season training.

    To me next season will depend on what Farke has learnt from his first season here. Should he continue with tippy tappy sideways football the season will be much the same as this, however if  he choses fast atttacking football things could be OK. Watching the Cup Final I found Shearers comments on Man Utd''s season mirrored our season in as much as he demonstrated that sideways passing slows the game down enables the opposition to get all of their players behind the ball making attacking much harder. He also produced evidence that previously Man U attacked at pace with many of their passes being forward this made it difficult for the opposition to defend against.I have often felt this season on the few occasions we have attacked at pace we have caused more problems and had the final delivery been better we could have scored a few more. Time will tell.I also don''t like the way Webber blames all those before him, lets see what he can deliver this will be his third transfer window, as Ed Balls said the jury is still out on this set up.

    Didn''t Webber say a few weeks ago that we had signed a player but he couldn''t say who it was.Well as the season has finished and now the transfer window is open can''t  see why he cannot ne named unless he is still involved in the play offs.

    Whilst I would not be upset if Farke left the problem would be who would work with Webber. Many managers have said they don''t like the Sporting Director selecting the players they have to work with.

    I have long felt that Delia is happier in the lower reaches of the leagues where there is less money. Whilst I initially welcomed the appointment of Webber I now have deep reservations the only man to knock Howson and say he didn''t want to play for Norwich (although Howson came and applauded the Norwich supporters after the boro game) then stated that Pritchard didn''t want to play for Norwich and after yesterdays performance one wonders if any of the players want to play for Norwich. The signings of Watkins and Husband make you wonder if he knows much about the way the coach wants to play.Farke - didn''t know anything about him before his appointment and after the Brighton friendly at the beginning of the season I thought there was some decent football played. His philosophy seems to be possession football which is great if you make most of the possession but what has he learnt - Millwall 25% possession Norwich 75% possession Millwall 4 goals Norwich 0 goals. Yesterday SW 40% possession Norwich 60% possession SW 5 goals Norwich 1 goal. For me this season we have seemed at our best when we attack at pace but unfortunately that has not happened enough, against Fulham at 2 - 0 down we were still playing tippy tappy football at the back.Not long ago Balls said the jury were still out on the new set up - when will he deliver the verdict.Lets hope next season gives us something to be a little more cheerful about.

    Didn''t we sign someone from Barnsley this season who had scored quite a few.
  15. 0ridgemanddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue
    It appears quite simple make him an offer that is acceptable to Norwich. Should he decline the offer keep him on the books for a year but tell him to stay away from the ground. A year out of football at his age won''t help. Wouldn''t want his attitude to rub off on the youngsters and it would show whether he wants to play or wants the money.
  16. 0ridgemanddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue
    It would appear that Farke has learnt nothing in the time he has been here. Today he talks about not having enough possession we had 57% to  their 43% with their 43% they scored 4 goals with our 57% possession we scored none. Comparethis to the  Millwall game earlier in the season when the possession stats were - if I remember correctly - Millwall 25%   Norwich 75% with their 25% possession they scored 4 goals with our 75% possession we scored yes nil. You would think that a manager in charge of a professional team would know its goals that count not possession. You could have 97% possession and still lose by the odd goal.

    Seems like Webber has got his feet under the table and the fans can poke off if they don''t like the football. Be very very careful what you wish for Webber.

    [quote user="Samwam27"]Yes we scored goals, yes the defense had a mare, and yes we had a dodgy ref, but even though this is a transitional season, are we really moving forward? The defense has improved (yesterday aside) but we may lose a great keeper in Gunn come the summer. NO failed to score again, doesn''t fit our system and has been poor in the goalscoring area all season. I think we must sell him and get at least two strikers in. Madds aside, and we''re sure to lose him, so we need an attacking, goalscoring replacement. And imo Murphy isn''t quite upto it, and I don''t want to start on Watkins. Do we need to replace these too aswell to give us more of a goal threat? What are peoples thoughts on Hernandez so far? It worries me that if you took Madds out of this team, we''d be in a relegation scrap for sure. Thoughts?[/quote] Saturday could be a guide to how much we have progressed, remember last season with Irvine in charge against Reading we were 6 - 0 up at half time and won 7 - 1. What price another 0 - 0. That will determine whether we have moved in any direction.

    When Webber was appointed I was quite pleased thinking football played the way Huddersfield - fast attacking football -would be good but alas anything but. Since leaving Huddersfield they have shut their academy, Tranmere have just shut their academy both saying it wasn''t working. Looking at our academy it hasn''t produced anything brilliant the inconsistent Murphy twins perhaps Lewis will make the grade where are the rest of the Youth Cup winning team. Is the academy the way forward ? Perhaps one of our best teams - the Lambert years apart - was the Stringer/Walker team with ex Spurs players like Crook, Bowen, Culverhouse. Surely we could pick up this type of player again rather than paying millions for an academy that may or may not produce. I have renewed for next season but wonder what the future holds.

    After today perhaps someone can tell me how Farke has improved the defence yes we have not conceded quite so many recently but this is Hughtonesque commiting more players to defence at the expense of the midfield and attack. Perhaps Webber can also explain why Watkins was brought to the club.

    Interesting article on his brother Jacob on NewsNow Norwich how much of it is true don''t know.

    [quote user="......and Smith must score."][quote user="lincoln canary Golden Coppel"]...They should be offering to buy back season tickets for the rest of this ''transition'' season. The fans are being mugged. Disgraceful.[/quote]As if. Everyone who bought a season ticket was well aware this was a '' transition '' season so they have to take the rough with the smooth. Same as every season.[/quote]Most of the people who purchased season tickets done it while Alex Neil was still in charge not for a transition season.

    [quote user="daisy"]Should never play for our club again, ever. The changes yesterday were wrong but if these are two of the best we can come up with then god help us.[/quote]Worrying thought is that this is the second time Webber has signed Husband he signed him on loan at Huddersfield.

    [quote user="Crafty Canary"]..... In the boardroom. The owners should consider retiring from the board and give Nepotism Tom a free run at it.[/quote]Whilst I am not a great fan of the owners they were in charge under the Lambert regime - the best three years I can remember in over 60 years of supporting.  I therefore feel that with the right manager we could move forward again but we need a manager that knows The Championship and how to get the best out of players. Tonight, again, we saw the opposition get from one end to the other with three passes whilst we can''t get out of our half with six passes even at two nil down we were passing backwards and sideways rather than going forward.At present Webber signs the players and Farke has to work with them, other managers have said that as they have to work with the players on a daily basis they want the last say as to who is signed and that makes sense.

    [quote user="lake district canary"]There are always positives - Jamal Lewis for one.  Pritchard getting more minutes and match fitness. Gunn made some terrific saves. Horrible match, but positives are always there - if you want to see them. [/quote]Did you see Pritchard at the end looked totally dejected and pissed off like many of the supporters.
