I'm not surprised by this, I've been saying since he came back in that he looks an uncomfortable fit. Not really a criticism- he's comes back from one of the worst injuries you can get, and almost a year out- but he is missing something. At the time of his injury I suspected we wouldn't see him play much meaningful football for us again. Duffy due to return after the international break- I think that prediction stands.

Money money money..

I mean, I don't think we would quite be offering that much but Knapper might be able to spin a convincing yarn -
Good to have competition & players on successful loans. Probably the only downside is Warner, Tomkinson, Hills and Adegboyega play in the same position and are all right-footed. I reckon that will mean at least one moves on permanently in the summer (I'd think Tomkinson most likely)

Pretty sure the Pinkun boys confirmed Johnston was a player we sounded out in the event of a late massive bid for Rowe. I suppose it depends which we would rather have. Whatever the case, Rowe's hamstring injury is on a par with Sargents injury in terms of bad timing.

Sara as an inverted winger?

In Brazil he was playing as a left sided-ish player. Though Nunez was used at times as a wing-back in Chile and I don't think that would go so well here. I've always thought we have the set to play 3 in midfield, as seemed to be the DS blueprint and I thought the basis for the purchase of those two players. Makes me shudder a bit, mind, that there might be practical application to anything Dean Smith. -
A Hill you would die on. Norwich City

We'd have gone down in the 2nd Farke season even if we'd paid Emi a bazillion £/pw and had him for that year. -
It's poised to be an interesting one. The manner of the defeat in midweek should light a fire under the team, Rotherham might be in for a battering. But, football is wonky sometimes and there always seems to be a struggling team that doubles us every season. I'm rather hoping Boro have just pipped Rotherham to that title as both defeats to them this year were horrendous.

Borjas red card overturned!

I admit I was a little confused by RadNor saying Howson didn't make a meal of it, as I was sure that he'd hopped away and eventually landed in a heap. Glad I wasn't making things up. -
Stuff you've thought of but it's too dull for conversation

I could fill pages & pages with rants about supermarket etiquette. Probably best not to. -
Who should be our captain?
Mason 47 replied to JonnyJonnyRowe's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
My only gripe with Hanley is the lack of reaction to goals conceded. Little look to the sky, hands on hips, turns around and heads back to the halfway line. Obviously there's no need for theatrics but he comes across like concessions are inevitable. I'd personally leave it with McLean for this season and take a view in summer, as every player you could argue for has a decent argument against as well -
Perhaps a little off-the-wall suggestion- Final Space on Netflix, which is a cartoon. Wouldn't say its near the best around, but once you get past the erratic modern humour it hits some quite thoughtful dramatic places. Loses its way the further on you get as plotlines/ concepts trip over themselves though.

The modern man's 'where do you leave the shopping trolley' conundrum. -
I think it was Dean Ashton on co-comms recently who echoed the idea that our players are very good at pacy & direct front-foot football, but lack the mental skills/ concentration to sit off and control space. It's something that definitely goes back to Farke days, where if you had to put a black-and-white definition on player as there for 'attack' or 'defence' you could easily argue 8-9 of the players were the former. Even last night, I think one could reasonably say only two of the starters were in for their defensive assets (and one of those is a goalkeeper). The pressing question in the case that this is true is- why do we regularly revert to a defensive stance when we regularly prove we really struggle with it?
