I can't remember a time when Hanley smiled. That photo is unnerving.

and Ronaldo desperate to get goal number 901. It's like they've handed it to him already

I have to say. I am really impressed with what Knapper and the head coach have managed to achieve already. Losing key players. Disruption in the camp. Fairly frustrated fanbase. This could easily have become a nightmare, but... We've got probably the best possible value from outgoing players We've cleared some of the deadwood We appear to have made some very good signings (so far) The head coach proved today he's capable of manipulating a match with good subs We've kept Josh, probably the best striker in the league We're somehow competitive again now

Sometimes it's a smart move to compromise. Ultimately, we kinda need Rowe and Rowe kinda needs us. Stubbornness = lose lose all round. What we're doing is smart. Punishment has happened but the message is "there is a way back"

Spending nearly 200m to stay still is really depressing

He should be praised for seeing an opportunity

Haven't seen the Villa left back in operation yet so can't comment on him too much, Doyle and Cordoba the obvious central defence pairing when fit. We really do need another decent technical ball playing defender in the building to push those two. Hills did well. Warner needs a loan. Stacey is alright. Duffy and Hanley just don't fit this new style at all, neither are particularly great on the ball. Building from the back is now a key element of what we do.

I'm so chuffed for the guy. Fully deserved. Squad player these days at best but it's a squad game so we need him.

We should ask the squad who wants to play tonight. The starting team perhaps will pick itself.

Not just football though is it. People are headhunted all the time and jump ship.

Sounds like the management team are tightening up on the rules and certain players don't like it. Wagner clearly wasn't a disciplinarian and Webber had checked out.

You could argue that over the last 30 years, we're probably sat around mid to play off second tier positioning in the rankings overall. So rather than going backwards or forwards, we've been pretty consistent to our level.

My biggest concern is that midfield that just doesn't offer enough support to the defence, nor enough support to the final third. Gibbs and Nunez are both very lightweight. I have no idea what Gibbs actually offers. He's such a nothing player. I don't understand the hype.

But it's not the team that got to the playoffs. It's weaker. No Sara, Rowe, left backs both gone, set piece coach replaced, experienced head coach replaced in inexperienced head coach (at this level)

The squad is adjusting to a new pecking order. I suspect the senior players aren't 100% behind the new Norwich way, especially with focus on youth. Honestly, we need to turn to those who are invested and want to be here now.
