  1. His decision to leave is one of the weirdest I can remember. He would have definitely been part of the first team here and would have got opportunities to play and I’m sure if he performed well he would have stayed in the team.
  2. I think we are in the same page but there are some exaggerated statements here. So far on this thread Fisher has been said to be A combination of Drury and Huckerby Better than Jack Stacey As good as Ian Culverhouse in his prime Better than Adam Drury Better Than Aaron’s, Lewis and Mumba(?) A better left back than Doyle. Its 3 games.
  3. Lots of hyperbole in this thread it’s a handful of games. Yes he’s looked good. And like he’s improved from last year but at times last year he looked incredible lightweight. Still think if I were an opposition manager I would definitely target our right back and right centre back as the area to attack. Most of Leeds attacks particularly in the first half came down the left. I appreciate everyone wants to get behind the Thorup regime but to me apart from Doyle the main stays of the team are still the players left over from last year I.e Gunn, Duffy, Sargent, Sainz, Nunez and Kenny. Can I also make another point that last summer transfer window where we secured Sainz, Fisher, Duffy, Barnes and Stacey is looking better and better each day.
  4. Webber basically made Farke a saint by sacking him when he did and when things got no better destroyed his own reputation.
  5. Agreed it’s the reason I was disappointed about the Barnes injury update as I think he would genuinely improve our play.
  6. Just thought maybe we gave Leeds too much respect. Looking at there lineup some credit must go to Farke lots of average players in that Leeds team Firpo, Joseph, Rothwell. Only really Gnonto looked a step ahead quality wise. They looked a shadow of the team of last year with Rutter, Summerville, Gray, Ampadu, James and Gruev missing. As for us i thought Crnac stepped up a bit but we are still 100% reliant on Sargent and Sainz I would worry if we lost either to a long term injury. Although I understand it if that match was last season it would be deemed a lucky performance whereas this season with Thorup it will be framed as anything but.
  7. Good result. If anything I think we are closer to them in terms of quality than we were last season.
  8. Agreed I mean it’s hardly the Leeds of last season Gnonto apart they are big standard championship level.
  9. If you ask me Leeds are missing a trick attacking mainly down our left there right. I would definitely be probing the Duffy Fisher axis.
  10. How Sainz did’nt get booked early in the half I’ll never know.
  11. Can I also make the point if Sargent gets injured who on earth is playing up front.
  12. I actually think this a big blow. Was thinking that Barnes return would have really bolstered us for the following reasons. No one so far has really nailed down the no 10 role. How often do we successfully pass out from the back but then lose possession in attacking midfield. Barnes is a master with his back to goal and would be a great pivot to play in Sargent and Sainz. At the moment we have no one doing this successfully. He would also definitely improve our attacking and defending of set pieces.
  13. What’s more depressing it’s not like last year when no offence it was Luton who were essentially happy to be tourists. Sheffield United who were broke and a Burnley. This year you have Leicester and Southampton who are traditional mid table premier league teams and Ipswich who are riding a wave. All three have spent decent money.
  14. The goal was a shocker makes you wonder why there isn’t a Lino on the goals lines would be much better than VAR.
  15. In general there is a tendency to overestimate exotic foreign players and under rate home grown players in my opinion.
  16. Yep good one I was particularly impressed when we signed him but he really changed my mind. Really good honest hard working player. Paul McVeigh was always mine, gave Norwich the cutting edge we had been missing but it seems forgotten once Huckerby arrived. Maybe controversial but have been watching the 19/20 season highlights before project restart and in those games Todd Cantwell was seriously good. Rob Ullathorne was a good shout overlooked defensive because of Bowen and offensively because of Eadie and O’Neill. Mentioning Keith O’Neill as for about half a season the guy was utterly electric.
  17. My understanding is that any game that isn’t a 3pm Saturday kick off is now on Sky.
  18. Always thought it was funny that in his two spells at the club Darel Russell managed to miss the Worthington era and the (most) Paul Lambert era. By deciding to leave just when the club was on the way up.
  19. David Marshall was more than decent and is not a name that crops up often. Strangely goalkeeper is a position we have done well in as this timeline of the keepers I remember Bryan Gunn -> Andy Marshall -> Rob Green -> David Marshall -> Fraser Forster -> John Ruddy -> Angus Gunn -> Tim Krul -> Angus Gunn. It’s not been a problem position for literally decades.
  20. I’ll say it every time his name comes up. The guy played well over 300 games for us with hardly a memorable moment. Then in his last appearance he has one shot one opportunity to change the whole narrative around his entire career. What happens he misses he is literally the most Norwich player of all time.
  21. Interesting that are old friend Alex Matos did not make the Chelsea second string team for the league cup but is instead playing for the Chelsea u21s against Bromley in the football league trophy. I appreciate the money side of it but you can’t help feeling that staying at Norwich playing a season in the championship and having a path like Johnny Rowe might be better in the long run.
  22. And people wonder why football is such a toxic sport when this carry on is happening between the two best teams in the league. Would it hurt anyone to not question the referee and agree he was right or admit afterwards that they were wasting time.
  23. I agree but just imagine if Wagner and Smith had no wins in there first three home games. The game would have been seen as make or break, boos at half time and full time if we weren’t winning.
