  1. He was great today. I’m a critic, but today he was a danger through out and seemed to play with confidence for a change. Perhaps he thrives under the lack of pressure? Need him to do that far more often.
  2. [quote user="Van wink"]Missed the QPR game with a back strain but now ok.[/quote] Never heard of so many back injuries to players. It seems to be every other injury is a back problem!
  3. [quote user="PurpleCanary"][quote user="lincoln canary"]Why an arbitrary time frame of another 6 months? Why is it too early to judge Webber and Farke at the end of this season? Webber has had a season and a bit, plus 3 transfer windows. There isn’t going to be a drastic change in another 6 months and one further transfer window. So why wait until another season starts? And again, removing Webber doesn’t mean we have to ‘rip’ up the clubs current philosophy. Why do people think this? If the club wants to stick withholds investing in the academy and a director of football in place, they can do this without Webber.[/quote]Yes, in the sense he has had two transfer windows.[/quote] Correct, my error. Still, two windows, and a scatter gun approach to both.
  4. [quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="lincoln canary"]Piggy - your appraisal of the new signings would carry merit if you consider our expectations to be that of a lower end championship club. Your comment about Vrancic is delusional. He has not had several MOM performances. Check the stats for when he plays. We’ve lost over 70% of the games he starts. How can you not see his flaws and weaknesses when it comes to championship football? You like to give the impression you have decent football knowledge, but unfortunately your continued over hype of Vrancic shows that’s very questionable.[/quote] Give it a rest Lincoln. Bare stats are meaningless. Even I can see that Vrancic has adapted and improved his game this season, to go along with his undoubted vision, good passing and his dead ball ability. Key player for next season, whether you like it or not. [/quote] Bare stars meaningless? So it’s just coincidnence that over a course of a season we lose far more often than we win when Vrancic starts? Then If you look at the games without Vrancic starting, The pendulum swings and we win more often than lose. Still just a coincidence? What did you think of the slack awarness from Vrancic (and Tettey) for both Fulham goals he other day? That’s the thing you see, people only remember the pretty stuff he does on the ball. He’s got abillity, but he’s not consistently effective for his league. He’s easy to play against - as the stats suggest.

  7. Under the lights at Anfield, Liverpool can beat anyone. They’ve always had that ability regardless of form.

Theres plenty of talent in league one capable of making a very efficient, effective, step up. Far more so then the likes of Vrancic, Steipermann and Srbrenny. Are you being deliberately solid today?[/quote]Yeah, definitely plenty of better players than Vrancic walking around League One that we could sign.[/quote] Definitely. Well done for finally agreeing with me.
  9. [quote user="Len"]So Webber is blunt and is effectively telling fans to be patient because we are changing from the old inconsistent model which never really worked, to a new one of consistency which effectively emulates our successful era of the 80s/early 90s.The response to this and (understandably) bad results from some fans is to call for Webber and Farke to leave, hire Warnock or some other old has-been to play a turgid direct game, and presumably repeat the last 20+ years of underperformance.I can understand frustration with Farke''s style, and skepticism with his level of qualification and experience to do the job. But to advocate repeating the same mistakes of the past makes me wonder if some fans actually understand where we''ve frequently gone wrong under Delia and Wynn-Jones.The ultimate level of stupidity is seen in those who try and tell us that everything went wrong after Bowkett and McNally left, seemingly oblivious to the notion that it was them that left behind a disaster zone for Webber to navigate through![/quote] Sorry Len, but I disagree with this. Yes Webber had constraints to work within, but a disaster zone? Come on. Too many people believe the nonsense Webber hypes up, which then becomes his protection. Regardless of circumstance Webber should not be immune from judgement. I cannot believe he’s managed to construct himself a buffer of four transfer windows, how many people get that luxury!? Our squad is weak and unbalanced. In terms of asset value, near enough all the players signed by Webber have decreased in value. Existing players such as Oliveria, Pinto and Klose have all decreased in value too. Our only sellable asset is Maddison, and Webber would be clutching at straws if he takes the credit for his increase in value. Credit him with Trybull and Zimmerman, sure, but In general the football side of our club is a pretty poor state of affairs right now. And he’s got to take the can for that. And a last point, this new philoshy and structure doesn’t have to abandoned by removing Webber and/or Farke. Why is there a common misconception it does? Plenty of capable football people out there. Let’s not let Webber manoeuvre himself into a position of unquestionable power.

  11. [quote user="FenwayFrank"]If we’d have bought the best talent from league one we’d have a very good league one team, try again or tell us all about where Reading went wrong.[/quote] Lambert didn’t fair too bad doing it, did he. Simpleton.
  12. Stop being fooled by the ‘transition season’ statement. This season has been a failure. It’s the worst Norwich city for 10 years. Webber has done a rubbish job on the player front, and Farkes tactics at times have been no better than a PE teacher. Clearly we needed to reduce the wage bill, but That shouldn’t of meant we had to accept an average to poor championship squad. Webber has made a pigs ear of it, and I honestly don’t think he could have done much worse. If we’d gone down a more traditional route last summer we’d have more likely plucked the best talent from league one, and used the competitive edge we did have to sign one or two quality championship players. Instead Webber took a scatter gun approach to transfers, with no clear strategy. Which is reflected by the unbalanced squad we currently have. Why do some people think he’ll suddenly get it right in the next window? Reasoned judgment suggests he won’t.
  13. Hampton - Farke already has his own squad. There isn’t going to be any large overhaul this summer. The majority of next seasons squad is already here.
  14. Called it early with Webber. Arrogant and full of his own self importance.
  15. [quote user="FenwayFrank"]Why aren’t we QPR ?[/quote] Stupid post, again.
  16. Webber has made some dire signings and wasted money in the process. Granted he’s made a few decent ones, but on balance his transfer dealings have been awful, and I’m some cases utterly pointless. The squad has been left weak and unbalanced. The striker issue is an absolute joke. There is no way this squad is capable of a promotion challenge next year. Absolutely no way. The only potentially saving grace is the injury problems we’ve had. But having said that, some of the players signed had fitness issues therefore hardly a surprise to see them injured. Particularly when factored in with the reported high training volumes. So basically it’s just a bit of balls up all round.
  17. Ipswich have mnaged to become better than Norwich without actually improving themselves. That’s how rubbish we are under the current regime.
  18. [quote user="FenwayFrank"]Reading not playing at the moment ?[/quote] Norwich have just been humiliated and that’s the best you can come up with? Has it made you feel better or somthing?
  19. [quote user="ec-p"]If Lewis is fit enough for th bench and to come on, then why didn''t we play Raggett and 5/3 at the back. Couldn''t be much worse.[/quote] It’s completely bizzare how Farke has abandoned a formation and system that was picking up points and looking solid.
  20. Agreed. This current set up is only going to get worse.
