I think its quite clear his preferred style is incompatible with Premier league survival unless you have the ability to entice technically superior Premier League level players. Hes also let his team bottle it as much as Martin.

I 100% agree with this. He was obviously a very good player but had it not been for the exceptional heroics of Krul that second promotion season, we'd have conceded nearly as many goals as the first time around. Fans thought, me included, he made us so much more defensively solid but the stats don't back that up - Krul just had a ridiculous season. Not to say he wasn't a great signing because he was - but he wasn't the saviour we thought he was.

If PLM could play the second 45 as well as his first 45 he'd have been a player. Seemed to tire too early. Was a decent presser and was good on the ball though, would have done well in the Championship

There is when, especially back during that time, most of your focus was on Kenny being the problem and I quote you in "we won't get anywhere near the playoffs if Mclean is a regular in the side"..... And the problem with that take was the focus on Mclean when the entire side was struggling but he was one of the better performers in that side, and you'll be delighted to know I'm saying that with the benefit of statistics to back that up. 😉 Start of September we had the international break. 16/09 We played Stoke at home and won 1-0 - Stacey scored, Mclean was statistically the highest rated player across both sides with a 7.8 (he played the most successful long balls, won the most amount of ground duels, lost possession the least amount of anyone in midfield that game). 20/09/23 We lost 2-0 to Leicester at home - only Duffy and Sara got better ratings than Kenny..... Then we had the Plymouth debacle, Then we beat Birmingham at home where he alongside the rest of the team had a good game. Then we beat Swansea away and he was again the third highest rated player. We then drew to coventry and he was the second highest rated midfielder behind Josh Eccles that game. then we lost to Leeds at home and he was 2nd highest rated player on the pitch... I could keep going but I think this is probably a waste of time as I'm sure all the above is wrong somehow because you went so hard in on Mclean like a few others that the concept of admitting anything other than your previous is unlikely 🙂 This is becoming a magical season

Exactly. I love that those fans who have berated Kenny at every turn are absolutely fuming he won POTS, if we don't get promoted then this is the second best thing to happen this season 😅😅

Thank god your WhatsApp group doesn't represent the majority of our fanbase, and it's funny how the fans opinion coincides with players, ex players, managers and ex managers. In fact Wagner today complimented the fanbase for being more football intelligent in their decision to pick Kenny. I'm not convinced your WhatsApp group is the intelligent one 😉😉

Just keeps getting better and better

It's like Wagner wants me to worship him.

Clearly your (wrong) opinion re Mclean isn't shared by an overwhelming majority of the Norwich City support. Which is music to my ears

As the kids would say, SLAMMED @Worthy Nigelton 😘

Hey, Elliot Ward was basically Van Dijk without the classy name. Do we not remember his, at time pretty random, runs forward with the ball which he actually somehow carried pretty well?

Although Idah has primarily played Left-Wing in the Prem in a dismal team creating little. In one of the few games he played down the middle at home vs Everton, he had a very good game and scored.

To answer @GMF ..... No... ^

Because the managers have their own contract, their players contract, the money involved, everything else. So to expect them to sort this is naive. The referee's have one job, and should have no additional / alternate motive. So just book them? How hard is that? You chose to be a ref. You get paid for being a ref. So be a ref. The ref has on-field control to book them for dissent but then doesn't? It's a circle and the ref's have the easiest route to stopping it but choose not to. Whether that's the PGMOL or individual refs decision I don't know
