    Irrespective where we finish at the end of the season, if we continue with the type of football we''re currently playing it will be more entertaining than last season with a higher league position. The youngsters currently in the team have added greater energy along with at times quicker interlinking passing which was sorely missing last season.

    I wouldn''t change anything or anyone in the defence. I would simply add a psychologist to the NCFC payroll as they seem to have mental issues when things go array on the pitch.

    [quote user="he"]The poor form from last season continues. I am afraid it is not due to poor form, but rather the style of play and the players. The manager is responsible of course. There is no positive development from last season. So far the opposite is shown. We are taking steps backward. As a unit the team is very weak defensievely and look to be in serious trouble for the coming season. After taking the lead they put the gas of the pedal and let a very poor WBA side into the game. From being in control of the game the let the poor opposition in the game. WBA has a bad start so far but were gifted the win today. Norwich is worse I’m afraid. The style of football is very circumstantial for long periods. This kind of style can work out Barcelona and Real Madrid players, but not with the standard of Norwich calibre. Walking around the park and passing sideways and backwards. Very negative. Today was a perfect example of this and got punished with soft foals against. Personal errors and a naive kind of football style is not a good combination. The energy should be used on the basics the coming weeks. The players are absolutely not up to this possession style on this level. For example Leitner is a player with many weaknesses. Good at passing the ball sideways and backwards, but weak, slow and no muscles most of the . Don’t think he is good enough for the Championship. We have big problems for the coming season with this set up I’m afraid. How long can Farke be in charge with this continuing naive style of play.[/quote] Your grammar is appalling. Are you a child of just a simple dole ? Whichever it is I would suggest you either forget about football or start taking some anti depression tablets !

    [quote user="KiwiScot"]A squad full of still to prove themselves. Hopeful only because its a new season coming up and we surely should be better than last year, but until the signs are there we can be competitive I won''t be lauding any plaudits on this squad and its manager yet. Prove me wrong.[/quote] I totally agree Too many below average players on paper in the squad to call it a strong squad For example players 3, 5, 16, 32 & 33. If we are lucky with injuries and get a reasonable start all things are possible........but I wouldn''t put any money on it !

    For what it''s worth I was told by a box office employee last week that they were very close to reaching the S/T cap. Couldn''t give me a figure of how many tickets still available though ! Also last week I was offered a S/ T at FEB prices !
  12. eeyore
    Some strange things happening with the selling of S/T''s this year. One example is that the tier structure of prices is no longer valid. In other words if you wanted to purchase a ticket for this season you would only pay for it at the February prices !

    [quote user="Old Shuck"]No it isn''t. It''s work. Pre-season is an important time for any football club. You know that. Its about preparation, fitness, knitting together the new group and a whole host of other things. It isn''t a jolly up for staff, players or fans. You can''t just expect to walk into their workplace whenever you want or complain because the club aren''t putting together some sort of detailed itinery for fans to come out and watch the games. What if the clubs we''re playing consider these to be off limits to fans or spectators of any kind?If the information coming out of the club about them is vague then thats because things are not set in stone-we do have the plans and itineries of the other clubs involved to take into consideration as well.There are plenty of pre-season games being played here for us all to go to and details of those are widely available.Norwich City isn''t "access all areas", especially in pre-season.But the club can''t win. Because if if pre-season was access all areas, you and your infinite alter egos would be on here saying what a shambles it was, unprofessional, laughing stock etc etc.[/quote] For me personally all I''m asking from the Club is a bit of honesty. If these are "behind closed door" games or the Club don''t want fans attending that''s fair enough.......but if this is the case the Club should just say so then we know where we are. They communicate very well when they want money from a share issue, or it''s season ticket renewal time !

    [quote user="A Load of Squit"][quote user="eeyore"]I''ve given up waiting for Norwich to publish the German tour details. They only fly out next week so I''m guessing they don''t want any fans going over ?? We really are a pathetic club sometimes !!! I''m going to book a few days in Poland instead.[/quote]Have you tried contacting the club?[/quote] Contacted them twice including this week but to no avail. No info presently I''ve been informed which is incredible as they leave for Germany in a few days.

    Does anyone know any further details regarding this supposed tour ??? I was considering taking in a game but with it being less than 2 weeks before the first game it might be getting too late to get a cheap flight over to Germany now. I don''t understand, other clubs have published all their pre season details yet we are still unable to do so.

    Marshall signing providing all is ok with the medical is now being reported by various different sources now so it looks like he is the no4 summer signing.
  18. eeyore
    I think the lack of details on the tour in general which is less than three weeks away shows that the Club are not really bothered about fans travelling to watch the games........especially as there''s no money in it for them !!!
  19. eeyore
    Considering going to one of the games myself but the info on the third game still to be released. Paderborn is not the easiest place to get to & the other game against Union Berlin is very unlikely to be in Berlin, probably again in the Paderborn area. My plan is to use Ryanair/Easy Jet/Eurowings then rain/taxi or another short flight if possible. Funny really that I''ve "given up" my ST after about 27 years but thinking of going abroad for a pre season game.
  20. eeyore
    Looks like Union Berlin on 17th July added to the list. I think I will combine it with my trip to Germany, a nice and easy place to get to.

    I agree with GJL, the experiment has failed. One thing people seem to have forgotten is before the season commenced NCFC were looking for an experienced British Coach to "help Farke out" after Alan Irvine left. They decided for reasons never fully explained to stick with the all German backroom team. Had they recruited an experienced UK Coach It would have helped Farke out immensely imo. Unfortunately after having a season ticket for nearly 30 years I will be a "casual supporter" because although I believe it will be another struggle next year (which is not the most important issue having supported City for neatly 50 years) but because I fear it will continue to be a boring style of football. I sincerely hope I am proved wrong & will regret not renewing my S/T but the evidence suggests otherwise. Farke / Webber need an outstanding transfer window to find quality Players at cheap prices that can adapt quickly and are better suited to Farke''s style of play than some of the present squad. Otherwise I fear for the NCFC "project" !
  22. eeyore
    Yes I know we still have another game before the season reaches its end, and there are play offs, World Cup etc but does anyone have any info on the pre season games ? I only ask because I know City are going to tour Germany again & Im planning to pop over to watch a game or two. I''m fortunate to have taken early retirement & I would like to take in a game or two while travelling in Germany & possibly Poland. Thanks

    [quote user="eeyore"]I didn''t decide to renew for this season until two days before the May deadline however they must have been desperate to sell more S/T''s as I was offered to renew at the February price. Again I haven''t renewed & to be honest unlikely to simply because the football being played is just too boring for me after nearly 30 yrs as a S/T holder. However if I did have a massive change of heart I would only renew again if I was offered at February prices.[/quote] Forgot to say I paid by DD too

    [quote user="Time to go Delia"]Surely Delia gets the Chase treatment now ? its pointless turning on the manager when the trouble is at the very top of the club .[/quote] I completly agree and have said this for sometime now. Despite a number of bad discisions and mistakes since joining the NCFC board twenty years ago DS & MWJ have done an awful lot of good for the club and this should not be forgotten or dismissed lightly. However football in this country has changed greatly since and continues to change whether we or the Smith''s agree with the direction it''s taken. Although their perception of modern day football has some virtues the article in The Times was a sad read in regards to their stubbornness to even consider surrendering custody of THEIR football club. They know best it seems ! Irrespective of views held regarding foreign ownership to outright dismiss any enquiries to purchase the club is totally arrogant . Are all enquirys to buy the club whether foreign or otherwise undeserving of consideration as The Smiths have clearly indicated ? They are both starting to sound & behave like Mr Chase towards the end of his reign and I hope for their sake this does not sour the positive years under their stewardship.
