shefcanary 2,385 Posted August 26, 2017 [quote user="Canary Utd II"]The simple continuity of our laughable defending is the Captain who Norwich seem insistent on playing! He can''t organise himself, let alone the players he captains!!We haven''t had a revolution as long as we play our weakest link.[/quote]Indeed. Oh for a Forbes or Watson or Mackay now!

Highland Canary 76 Posted August 26, 2017 Up there with the surrenders of the past - think Villa in the relegation season or Brighton last year - but against the poorest opposition we''ve seen. Time to regroup in league one. And to think some didn''t want Warnock. You couldn''t make it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boris 56 Posted August 26, 2017 job done we successful demolished the squad from last years and now we ave nothing to step above and rebuild.When Farke gone we also will have too many unsettled and not needed ex German league players.Coventry mk2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted August 26, 2017 Lightweight defense. Husband must be dropped for Stieperman, as has offered nothing sp far.If Martin is our best bet as CB we are in big trouble, with Farke saying new signings unlikely.Tettey should be playing next to Reed if we are playing an attacking threesome of Wes, Madds and Josh.It''s really worrying Farke cant see or address the basic frailities of this squad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''s all about leadership and with him on the pitch all we''re good for is looking pretty (toothless). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 647 Posted August 26, 2017 Guessing Martin will be wheeled out after this to give a damming criticism of the team and how they will "put it right" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 0 Posted August 26, 2017 I was in the ''give them time camp'' also, but wow this is poor. Why don''t we ever start with 2 up front???We need to protect the back 4 with Tettey and Reed! Husband needs to go on loan and learn how to play football in League 2! Farke must address the defence and I think the club needs to help him and buy some quality!!

kick it off 1,948 Posted August 26, 2017 Another near miss. Hit bar on open goal. Cross came from... Husbands side. Seriously hoping he does a cruciate as otherwise we seem to be stuck with that useless c**t as Farke shows no sign of dropping him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 495 Posted August 26, 2017 Is it all down to the head coach and DOF? Do the players have any idea what defending is about? Surely all will be fine as our captain leads the team to the plays-offs or better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 29 Posted August 26, 2017 We should''ve kept Ruddy, nothing against Gunn but Ruddy would''ve provided some much needed continuity in a season where our defence needed rebuilding. Dijks should''ve been our primary target. Class player. Husband isn''t even fit to polish his boots. We released Ruddy, Bassong, Bennett, Whittaker, Turner, Andreu, Mulumbu and Lafferty. We received decent fees for Murphy, Howson, Dorrans and Rudd. Yet it seems we haven''t been able to upgrade the squad in any area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,578 Posted August 26, 2017 Franke is the big disappointment for me. Was hoping he''d be a solid, commanding centre back but he looks like a pub player so far. I know players need time to adjust but we seem to be struggling to do the basics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted August 26, 2017 Unfortunately what we''re seeing here is the result of zero investment. TV fees etc can only sustain for so long while wages etc eat into the money. Now we''ve conducted a wholesale downgrade of the squad and it is very much evident out there on the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted August 26, 2017 Pinto prevents 4 by clearing from 6 yards out. Preventing a tap in. Cross came from... Husbands side. Again. Anyone else see a pattern here? 3 of the 4 last week, and 2 goals, plus two near misses today. The guy is so s*** it''s genuinely baffling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobbyVanHorsecock 0 Posted August 26, 2017 We''ve thrown in the towel a season too early. Should''ve added to a decent squad whilst we had another season of parachute payments. Good players win football matches, not philosophies, not even tactics. Billionaire owners are needed just to remain competitive these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted August 26, 2017 Husband gives it away on the edge of their box from a promising position resulting in him having to hack the guy down to prevent a 4 on 3 attack. Martin gets subbed in response. Bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
