I actually feel a bit sorry for him. Seems clear to me that he has probably realised he is a spent force. He’s come from a club where he was loved, being part of a squad that is successful and playing great football. I am sure he played a part in that success from a influencing factor if not actual play. I expect he came to us with the right intentions of showing he ‘still had it” and could bring us success. Sadly the reality is that he no longer has the skills or legs for the modern game. He has also joined a club which is a complete shambles and a squad of players who are probably as bemused as us fans. Mentally this means he is just a frustrated and angry player who is now literally just thrashing out at people. Wagner needs to pull him from the starting 11 and try to just use him from a coaching and supporting level on the training field. Let him regain his pride by focusing on trying to teach Idah how to actually play as a strong centre forward. If he could do that then it would still have been a good signing.

Think this is the point with Sara, I don’t want him being the player going in to 50/50 tackles with the intent of getting the ball or the man. That’s the role that is missing in the team and one that neither Nunez or McLean is suitable for.it’s not about thuggery but about being a hard working and hard tackling player either basic like Tettey or a bit classier like Skipp. Sara is the player that I want to receive the ball after the tackler wins it back. He can then uses his undoubted class to create something with a FORWARD pass (sadly Wagner seems to have told him only to pass sideways or backwards!)

I can’t remember feeling this despondent and uninspired by a Norwich team for years. I just want the season to end as quickly as possible in the hope that we then see Wagner sacked and a complete overhaul of the squad. I’m not expecting us to be competing for promotion for years but I’d at least like to be able to support a young team being coached to play good football rather than watching the dross produced by all these has beens (never beens). I’m just a non local arm chair fan who can’t even to be bothered to watch via a stream anymore so my thoughts are with all you season ticket holders who have paid and therefore will have to endure more of this rubbish.

We are just so awful to watch and so easy to defend against. Both Barnes and Fassnacht have been anonymous and should be subbed at half time. We’re not playing badly but it’s totally uninspiring ie mirroring Wagner himself. Surely he needs to go so we can make changes in January?

I’m not sure this is a terrible squad more like terrible team selection and just sticking to the same rubbish tactics

Gibson in, Wagner out

This was certainly noticeable against WBA, even with 11 men, seems ridiculous how we just seem to let the opposition stroll from before half way up to the penalty spot.

He was stupid today but then again so was Buendia on quite a few occasions. Hoping Wagner doesn’t hang him out to dry and we all recognise that many great players have reckless moments and it’s that unpredictability which forms part of the talent.

I just don’t think he has the required mental instinct to be a top player. He lacks the game sense to make a move in advance of a pass or the speed of thought to deceive a run (hence so many offsides). Later on in the game defenders are both physically and mentally tired so he doesn’t need to be one step ahead and his natural strength and pace are enough to have an impact.

I was there and I think your comments are wrong. Easily beat Huddersfield and looked very good in the second half. I’d take a draw v wba but think we could sneak a one goal win

I think the fact they’re at home and their fans will be expecting them to be in the front foot could help us. It was a struggle to break down Huddersfield yesterday but I think we’ve some more space both Sainz and Rowe will cause them problems. hoping for a good game

I’m glad to see both players and manager showing some passion. could still do with a bit more from the stands

Dull game on top but not really pulling them apart of creating chances. Sainz and Rowe clearly the sparks but carrying Barnes and Hernandez . Changes needed at half time

Norwich fans a rare breed around here!

Live in Leamington so would be interested in joining, dm sent

Was terrible first half but full credit was excellent second half

We did well to hold on, Mccallum was so much better second half. Wagner again mystifies with decisions , Rowe off, Springett and Hernandez on?!, but continues to live a charmed life and I’ll settle with that until we get someone decent in

Looks like I’m alone in thinking we weren’t too bad that half! Should’ve had 3 goals but yet again our own stupidity has cost us. Sainz showing why he should’ve started games way before this and Rowe showing why Wagner hasn’t started him! We can and need to win this!

Boy do I miss that team! Whilst they were great goals for Sara and Nunez that was all before they were forced to play as false Centre backs!

I'm not sure it will have any impact. He could've changed the manager and then still see us lose or. On other hand if we win on Saturday that doesnt mean it is the right decision to keep Wagner. Our problems extend far beyond just the manager (although he may indeed be part of the problem). Whilst Saturday may be hugely important to us fans it is critical that we have a sporting director who thinks far more long term and strategically than basing decisions on one result.

Subs were poor but you can’t say Gibbs for Barnes or Rowe for Fassnacht are like for like at all.

Need to get at least one of Sainz or Rowe on for start of second half. Preston there for taking…which inevitably means 1-0 to them!

Fair play to them, they’ve done brilliantly. Don’t enjoy saying that as living in the Midlands, have had to put up with lots of Villa fans going on about the past (they’re as bad as the binners!!) Also worth noting they have been much better without trying to shoehorn Buendia into the team……perhaps he might need a loan in January to build up his fitness,, performance and confidence!?!?

Must admit that was my first thought from watching it. I was particularly pleased to see how much a player like Sainz (who would be totally entitled to be a bit miffed this season) looked chuffed to bits with the goal and the result. Also, seeing it from this angle, the long ball from Kenny for Idah's goal was a lot better than I thought (much more than just a punt upfield). We can only hope this is not a false dawn but the start of more enjoyable times for Idah, the team, Wagner and us fans.

I thought it was brilliant to see. Wagner is clearly a really nice guy and I also think a very emotional one who wears his heart on his sleeve. Tactically rubbish maybe but I would love him to turn things around at the club (but not convinced he cam). nice to enjoy w win anyhow
