Press Conference article is now 10x better/easier to read, thanks for passing the message on and well done for the positive changes 👍

They're obviously forced to go down this route, so no blame attached, everyone has to make a living/company make a profit otherwise they go bust. With that said I won't be purchasing but wish them all the best as they are decent chaps. I won't be subscribing for the following reasons (most of what has been mentioned previously in this thread: - There is no content Pink'Un produces currently (this may change in the future) that I would be willing to pay extra for. Paddy's Pointers, the Q&A, and Opinion articles are much of a muchness and basically all boil down to opinion pieces. There is no inside information in the Q&A's whatsoever. I get all that content for free down the pub. - The reporters need to form better relationships with the players/club to get the breaking news first. Any real breaking news, e.g. new transfer, new manager, etc. I've found out before it appearing on the Pink'Un. - The press conference articles drives me nuts and the biggest bugbear of mine about the way it is reported. It's the most important article of the week and gives you genuine information as opposed to an opinion. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to read cohesively with twitter posts repeating previous answers and scroll boxes making it a complete mess. Ironically the official site does this really well with a very clear 'Question: XYZ... Dean Smith: XYZ' format which is so much better and an instant quick fix for the Pink'Un. With the above said, I do genuinely hope it succeeds as it's very important to have local reporters but I fear finance will dictate business just like it does with smaller/larger companies in just about every other sector in business.

That would be a cracking idea. It's gone beyond a joke all these '[PLAYER NAME], Can I have your shirt?' banners. A banner like that would definitely get yourself on MOTD.

Ryan Bennett (ex-Norwich and now Swansea defender) went to Flegg High School, Martham (towards Great Yarmouth). He's not from Norfolk originally, born in Essex, but spent a few years at Flegg growing up.

Thought exactly the same. Sounds like he needs surgery but they want him avaliable for the busy Christmas/New Years period. I wonder if they'll then book him in for surgery after the Leicester game (Jan 1st) as we would then only have two league games in the next four weeks.

A good player but not irreplaceable. He's been very loyal to the club and perhaps this is undervalued, hardly ever misses a game due to injury or suspension. He deserves his move but I don't think it will affect us the way Buendia and Skipp leaving has.

It was crying out for Giannolius at half-time given the scenario. He’s the only player seemingly willing to take on a man with a touch of quality/composure (see calm ball across for Pukki goal). As soon as he came on, he added the above and Pukki also came into the game as a result. Badly missed Rashica tonight. Ultimate the players try hard but simply lack the quality you need at this level (Sargent, Rupp, Hanley, Idah, Mclean, etc.).

Joe Worrall also admired by many clubs and you can see why. Very good reader of the game and can also pick out a pass. The only question mark would be on pace at the top level.

Nothing to see here. 'Linked' to get bets placed on SkyBet. Sky are notorious for this. Avoid.

Nail on head. The RH link is utter rubbish designed for one thing and one thing only. Money in the Skybet coffers.

The difference between last week and this week is the oppostion. Last week we were playing one of the best teams in world football right now. This week we're playing a down-on-their-luck Leeds side without their best striker and arguably best defender. Raphinha their only decent player on form right now. Daniel James was a shocking signing at £28m.

I also feel a bit for Dimi. He's seemingly the only player in our squad right now willing to take on an opponent and dribble past them. Yes, he has his defensive inefficiencies but this is not his game and it's not as if the pure defensive players are covering themselves in glory at present in this aspect in any case. As pointed out above, the much heralded Max Aarons isn't providing anywhere near as much attacking intent in terms of taking people on Tariq Lamptey style. For me, Aarons is a bang average Premier League player and nothing more until he learns to take people on more consistently/produce a better end product (or maybe he is being told to be restricted here?). Either way, Dimi is the only player that looks like he can beat a man right now and in this division, that is priceless. Perhaps he should play the wide left attacking position.

Havertz can play No.9. Frequently played the role for Leverkusen. Shame Werner got injured as as mentioned above, he’s extremely wasteful. Mount / Havertz combo I imagine.

That was a game between two teams that haven't won all season and it showed. Lots of effort from both sides but the quality was dire. I'd be amazed if Norwich and Burnley don't finish bottom two. Not a criticism of us but that was a game between two Championship sides.

Nothing lucky about that from a Brighton point of view other than the initial poor kick. The pass itself from Veltman was completely overlooked, it was a superb piece of skill. Not easy at all to control volley that ball into an area for the strikers to attack. Maupay also kept extremely composed to finish with the lob. Great goal.

The fact West Brom are currently top of that league and without defeat 9 games in, tells you everything you need to know. The gap between the leagues is enormous.

It's the same as pretty much every other profession. You're not going to give a newly promoted Referee the biggest clash/most exposed media match straight away, in the same manner you wouldn't give a newly qualified surgeon the most complicated brain procedure for example. You gradually build up the exposure to the more pressurized environments. Like it or not, we are quite clearly the small fry in this league and hence we get the 'trainee' referees.

I think Sorenson is a classic case of whoever is out of the team is suddenly rated better than they are. Don't get me wrong, I think there is a role for Sorenson but I don't think he puts his stamp on the midfield as much as some posters (myself included at times) would like. The above being said, we have the perfect game on Tuesday to try him in, a free-hit experiment. I'd like to see him alongside Normann in a 5-2-3/3-4-3 set up. Krul Aarons Omo Kabak Gibson Dimi Sorenson Normann Rashica Sargent Tzolis

It's not the personal, it's the defensive nous and set-up that is wrong, as others above have pointed out. The second goal yesterday is a perfect example of this. Every single defensive player (with the exception of Krul and Aarons, the later who was at fault for the first goal) had a part to play in that goal being conceded. Williams - Has the stamina and speed so no idea why he wasn't sprinting back as soon as the ball is switched by Sissoko Normann - the biggest culprit in the goal and I'm hoping this was purely down to lack of match-fitness as he was taken off early. He could see the player and the danger right infront of him and he still just casually jogged back (this is where a certain Skipp was so good). Hanley - Positionally was fine but just that half a yard too slow at this level in the initial reaction process against decent players. Kabak - Again positionally fine, but the lack of communication (perhaps understably right now) was clear and evident all match long between himself with Hanley and Aarons. It's the perfect movement by Sarr that did both Kabak and Hanley here, Kabak simply has to follow him though and get his body in the way. ..... Ultimately though, the space for that second goal once Sissoko switched it was what was wrong with the whole 4-3-3 set-up, simply way too much space for Normann/Gilmour/Mclean to cover. It does not work.

The trouble is we needed upgrades all across the park (as evidence by our previous inept relegation) and that was before the sale and unavoidable less of our two best players in the Championship last year... We needed strength, height, athleticism and skill in the central areas of the team. Time will tell how well our new recruits have helped.

After losing Buendia, Farke seems to be caught between wanting to be a possession based side (his natural preference) and a counter-attacking side (pacy wide players Rashica and Tzolis to replace the creativity of Buendia). Along with a change to 4-3-3 this may have actually worked in the Championship, but we cannot play three in midfield in the Premier League, especially given our central midfielders to choose from. Today's game was lost in the centre of the park, Watford simply out-worked/out-muscled/out-pressed us in the middle of the park, which then led to further problems at the back. The trouble is, the formation we need to switch to, 5-3-2/3-5-2 (see possible team below) means losing the core principles that Farke likes and has worked for him in the Championship, i.e. the link up between players like Cantwell and Pukki. We simply have to almost start all over again in the EPL and keep it tight in the middle and the back and stay in games. Whether or not Farke sees or rather willing to adapt to this may well just keep him with a job. Forget the 4-year contract signed, this weekend was the first real signs of real creaking. The bizarre pre-match conference almost calling out fans and the performance at Watford has opened up a divide between Farke and the fans for the first time. Krul Aarons Omo Kabak Gibson Dimi Mclean Normann Lees-Melou Sargent Rashica

Agreed on Krul. He seems to escape criticism relative to other players that have played well for us and made mistakes (Hanley for example). His performance today was a carbon copy of last time Norwich were at the Emirates. Gifted the goal with poor distribution after having several warning shots. I would keep Krul for Watford, play Gunn in the Liverpool cup game and if he proves himself then he should be knocking firmly on the door to start.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Norwich The media have massively overplayed Arsenal's 'poor' start to the campaign, the same way they have ours. Look at Arsenal's games: Brentford 2-0 Arsenal - Arsenal missing a host of players, and the 2nd goal should have been ruled out. Brentford industrious but lucky to win. Arsenal 0-2 Chelsea - Playing for my money this year's champions. Man City 5-0 Arsenal - Down to 10 men after 20 minutes. How many other teams (inc. top teams) have also had a hiding at Man City, even with 11 men. Answer = A lot. I can see another game where we get the run around, and then after this (as we all expected as soon as the fixtures were announced) our season finally starts in earnest vs. Watford.
