Makes me feel slightly better 🤣 feels like only a few years ago Lambert was in charge, time really does fly.

Was my vote. We have some real star players, but IMO Kenny has been the glue holding this season together. Don’t think he’s ever had a better season and nice to see him get the credit. Head said Sara, heart said Kenny for all his efforts. Unsurprised to see them top two but pleasantly surprised to see the Mayor win out.

He looked decent enough in a woeful team. Not surprising he refused to drop to the Championship, look where he is now.

Sorry I wasn’t clear, the position should be respected but the individual has to earn respect. They are two different things, football has a problem with both.

I mean in the professional sense. There’s lots of indirect criticism thrown at referees but I don’t see them owning their mistakes or explaining their decisions enough IMO. That’s of course a recipe for discontent.

Would help a lot if they had mics and we heard the reasonings for their decisions like Rugby. They are basically untouchable gods right now, no wonder when they are continually making questionable decisions there is a lot of anger. I think you’re right it’s getting pretty bad but there are things that could be done to improve the relationship between referees and other parties. Referees should be respected, but respect is earnt. VAR hasn’t helped, it should only be used for clear and obvious errors but it’s become a crutch and watching off side decisions be made over a cm or two (despite the inaccuracies of the method) is a mockery of the intent IMO. Trust in officiating should be improved, but I don’t think it’s ever been lower IMO.

I mean true, but the real money comes from the talent that makes it as we’ve seen over the last decade. Needs to be a pathway.

Not worth much if they can’t make it into the first team.

Wagner’s also been very vocal both at the time and recently about the squad being weakened in January and how he was against it but it wasn’t his decision. You add the SVH issue and not using any youth players and there certainly seems some circumstantial evidence they aren’t on the same page.

If Wagner and Knapper really aren’t getting along he won’t be here unless we are promoted I’m guessing. People may not agree, but there’s no point Wagner being in charge if he’s not aligned with the club’s strategic long term aims. I’m unsurprised at Wagner to be honest, he needs to be successful in this job for his reputation. Three consecutive failures on his CV might have meant it’s over for him as a manager or at least make getting another similar level role extremely difficult. I can fully understood why Wagner only cares about the short term, if he gets Norwich promoted his reputation is restored. Even now his success since new year has taken him from looking a spent force at this level to a genuine promotion contender.

Who do you think did that scouting and analysis? Knapper wasn’t looking at this guy at Arsenal. He’s made a decision based on the NCFC scouting team’s recommendations presumably.

Not sure I see the pull, doubt they’d offer much more in wages than us, European football but domestic league is dire. He’s got a decent chance of getting in the PL again as a No1, if not this season in the future. He’s too young and playing too well to go to career death land IMO.

I suspect it was a lot more minutes.

But which someone of his many someones is banned?

That’s a problem Wagner is dying to have.

This is the salient point, prior to this run would have bit your handoff for 7 points from these three. Weds was disappointing but in context it’s been a brilliant week.

Massive three points, fantastic managed performance and brilliant individual goal from Sara. Great result.

Seems to be more necessity than design though

Sarge starts, all mind games exact expected 11. Good to see Rowe on bench.

Where did he? Because in his post match interview with Connor he confirmed it was fitness related.

Wagner’s basically made it clear that’s the team, be very surprised if there were any unforced changes other than restoring Duffy.

Managers are expected to take the flack for everything it often seems. Agree doesn’t bode well for the future, but can’t really blame him especially when he’s basically been proved right.

Think someone already mentioned them.

Hopefully, but Leeds need to get their **** together.

No. I’m just surprised we didn’t bring in one Loan player to replace them (in terms of squad bodies) with maybe a bit of quality and a point to prove to give another option.
