Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted March 6, 2018 At no point have I or will I say we’ve had a successful season. What I have looked for are the positives and what lays in store for the future (short and long term).My gripe is the extraordinarily short amount of patience some fans have. Modern football I guess, wanting instant success. Still sad.Returning to the comparisons debate... Chelsea didn’t change philosophy’s under Conte to the extent that Man City have done, and most certainly not to the extent AN is different to Farke. If fans don’t like it, fair enough but the potential rewards were always more than likely going to be after a full season of ups and downs culminating in a mid table finish. Farke will be (rightly) judged on results next season having had 3 transfer windows and a full season to implement ways of playing. It worked for Huddersfield, Man City. I look forward to seeing what we can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you repeating your absurd accusations of racism against me?And you''ve gone to the trouble of creating a parody account to mock me, all because I called you out on your disgraceful and unfounded accusations of racism against fellow supporters, for which you still refuse to apologise… yet I''m the stalker?You''re absolutely pathetic, mate.

king canary 7,578 Posted March 6, 2018 @HogesarAll the benefits?A squad low on confidence having just been smashed 7-1?Trying to embed a an almost entirely new team?Dealing with the mess left behind by Roeder and Gunn?I''d say Farke has had many more benefits to work with- several internationals throughout the squad, an exceptionally talented attacking midfielder, two strikers with confidence following on from good seasons.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted March 6, 2018 Define instant success.I haven’t seen anybody in this thread suggest we should be challenging Wolves. Or do you consider progress at home, and a little bit of consistent home form across 3/4 season, unrealistic and instant success? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted March 6, 2018 Let''s ignore the team that finished 8th in the championship when farke came in then Hog, or do you just want it one way? He''s managed to take a team that scored the most goals ever in a home season to probably the worst, great tacticsDon''t think anyone expects farke to have the same success Lambert did, looking like we might win a home game would be a start though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted March 6, 2018 Yes, this idea that if you aren''t on board with what has gone on this season that you want ''instant success'' is just a straw man.By most measureable ways of looking at it we''ve gone backwards this season. Less points, less goals, less wins, lower in the table. The only area you can say we''ve clearly got better is we concede less.Now you can argue that we''re in transition and we''ll see the benefits longer term and fine, that is one opinion. However it also totally valid to be critical of what we''ve seen this season and to question if this strategy is one that will bring about longer term success. There is no right or wrong answer here and the jury is still very much out. I didn''t expect us in the top two but will admit I''m underwhelmed by how easily our fans have accepted the lowering of expectations. I''d hoped we''d mount a run at the top 6 and I don''t think that is hugely unreasonable or unrealistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 6, 2018 It''s no surprise people aren''t excited about going to the football any more. It''s been a woeful season at Carrow Road. Only four teams have won fewer home games than Norwich. Even more damningly, only three teams have scored fewer goals at home than Norwich. It''s been one of the dullest seasons ever.

Guest Posted March 6, 2018 It must be difficult for home supporters, excited for each home game and expecting to see a good win or at least an exciting draw, to have seen some of the less than good performances this season.Whereas the away support has seen us play well and in fact accrue more points than at home.But I cannot believe that anyone wouldn''t go to a home match, especially a season ticket holder. The same as I don''t understand those that leave the game early, especially with late goals not unexpected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FCC 76 Posted March 6, 2018 It’s a sad day when we can’t just discuss football. Surely the beauty of the debate is that we seldom know who was right or wrong. Unlikely, but Hughton could have kept us up, Alex could have rebuilt for this season and taken us up again. The one thing we have in common is we love it when we win, and we then all agree the right decisions have been made.I think it’s a sad day when people stop posting because of aggressive or rude comments about their opinion. The game is all about opinions, and you should be able to challenge someone’s opinion without offending or belittling them.Now - let’s get out there and win tonight.

Essjayess 307 Posted March 6, 2018 Well, one thing about tonight''s game is the opposition...Forest. Looking purely at their results, they seem the kind of team we were last season, score a lot and concede a lot. Given to that they''re mid table like us they could provide a refreshing change from the Burton / Bolton 10 man defence style of play. They really are the opitome of this division, can beat anyone but also get defeated by anyone.Hoping that if they play with more freedom and openess than the bottom sides then the crowd could see half a decent match tonight. But then again, Forest are capable of beating us to so...we will see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
