Irony? Heavens no! I have never come to terms with Norwich City actually trying to score from penalties, as opposed to following the moral example of the Corinthians and deliberately shooting wide of the goal.

I've often mused on the possibility of players and former players posting under pseudonyms on this account.

Is that you, Daryl?

Is this the year they finally go down?

No. They never go down.

I was critical of Thorup after the Oxford game for not putting his stamp on the team and not being brave enough

Whether by accident or design, seems like JHT gave the old guys enough rope to hang themselves on that first day.

I think I'm the only person on here to agree with you. I thought we went tentative and started to make poor decisions because we got nervous about throwing away what we had. The 20-25 minutes before that were great - we controlled the game completely.

I guess it's bound to happen to any team. At some point what you can lose starts to take over in your mind from what you can gain. Then the mistakes creep in.

Still a very good performance. Especially for early days.

Didn't watch but that sounds completely understandable for a new team without a win this season.

Great result.  On its own terms, but also in terms of buying JHT time to implement his methods and keeping the impatient reasonably patient.

 

Or unrealistically raising people's expectations 😉

Now Sargent is staying DCB needs to pluck something else from his Negativity Tombola. Give him time.

Sainz is frustrating me a bit at present. Hasn't got going yet this season and often misses obvious through balls.

I feel Crnac needs to come off as we have nothing on the right. He needs more time to get up to speed.

Forson also seems to need just a little too long on the ball and needs to get used to the pace of champ football

Look, Johannes,  get off the Pink Un and pay attention to the game.

Cov commentator calling Sainz, Borja Sans - making him sound like an exotic typeface

I love this so much. 

'Borja Sans' is also what NCFC are when we're down to ten after he's seen red for a rush of blood to the head.
