Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 20, 2021 Just now, The Real Buh said: This is the difference We are championship vets. It’s our specialist league. We are the SAS of the championship. the other teams are just pretenders. Big pressure on them. We’ve been there and done it before. A couple of weeks ago Brentford were the Force of the Division. I think you need to insert the word Cadet in there now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 780 Posted February 20, 2021 3 minutes ago, pete said: Daniel trying to submit his preferred starting line up to total exhaustion. Tuesday night same team for another 90 minutes. Crazy management We are seven points clear mate. DF has more knowledge in his little finger nail than you have in your brain. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,734 Posted February 20, 2021 Christ that was hard work....all about the win and results elsewhere ...but how wasteful?...4 golden chances, cant criticise Pukki too much, but 2 sitters for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,506 Posted February 20, 2021 So much criticism for Farke when were top with 64 from 31. If we were second I reckon he'd be strung up outside the castle 🏰🙃 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, perhaps drop the club a line and make sure Daniel Farke doesn't miss out on your expert advice. Some of our fans are an arrogant lot at times - 64 points from 31 games over an absolute slog of a season, including an injury crisis to beat all other injury crises, and people still think they know better than him when it comes to substitutions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirku 1,332 Posted February 20, 2021 Thought Dimi was excellent today. Second half was pretty turgid and we should've had more but excellent result in context of the weekend. OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repman 633 Posted February 20, 2021 Although we were poor second half, it never really felt to me that they would score at any point. The only hope they had was winning something from a high ball into the box, and we don't have anyone on the bench who could have done much better than what we had on already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted February 20, 2021 Wow. On Canary call we now have Pukki was lucky to score...and Butler is joining in. Im out. I’m going to enjoy the fact we won a game of football we deserved to win, that we’re 7 points clear at the top of the championship and more than likely getting promoted.

sgncfc 1,221 Posted February 20, 2021 I think that Birmingham also have a game in 3 days. They'll be as knackered as we are, and we have a fresh Hernandez and Placheta. I know who I'd rather be..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paint Me Yellow 200 Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) With all the other results going in our favour, this result is massive. It's like a 6-pointer victory against 4 other teams. Table suddenly looks the way it did a month or so ago. Edited February 20, 2021 by Paint Me Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daly 499 Posted February 20, 2021 No one is disputing Farke is a great Manager but cannot understand the logic in not bringing on subs earlier, it was obvious that a few players were drained. We hung on to win against a team currently third from bottom. Going to Birmingham Tuesday on that pitch will be a struggle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a football forum for discussion you berk. Someone disagrees with your opinion so we get Glenn Roeder 'missed your tenure as England manager' response. If you don't want to read opinions you disagree with on the football, can I suggest any other site on the Internet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the stadium today the supporters would have been awesome. In the stadium it's all about getting those three points. The final whistle would have heralded massive celebrations with supporters singing "we're going to win the league". The final whistle just heralds relief and then moans on ifollow. **** I miss it.

Or are you moaning about Farke's substitutes again? Do you not think our team, and indeed our coach, isn't better than having to cling on against a side we tore apart in the first half? Sounds like you're being a bit hard on a manager and side that has got us to the top. Bloody pant pissers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downloads 35 Posted February 20, 2021 I'm a glass half full kind of guy, but... This seems a bit stupid, if you want some subs to come that makes you negative? What's the point in having a forum if one can't give an opinion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
