cambridgeshire canary 6,792 Posted September 17, 2021 Thread will be updated if more news comes in. 'Giannoulis is back in training and available. Sargent is a topic for the squad. Zimmermann is out due to an ankle injury. Placheta is out due to symptoms of COVID-19. We had some concerns with Sorensen and Lees-Melou but they seem to be alright.'

Highland Canary 76 Posted September 17, 2021 Let’s hope he picks our best players. We missed a rare opportunity to give Arsenal a game last week. Three points behind par already, no goals from open play, and an absolute must win tomorrow, let’s hope the players still believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A passion up there with Henry V on the eve of Agincourt while insisting Watford isn't a must-win game (it isn't). Cry God for Harry, England and St Daniel. Love it. 👏👏👏👏👏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norwich fans have always been so negative, it’s the one thing about this club that I would love to change. Why can’t we support our players and get behind them rather than be so dismissive and pessimistic all the time? I remember my first season ticket in the City Stand as an 8 year old and getting so frustrated even then with the sheer negativity and dismissive comments of our players that I was hearing coming from those around me, I just couldn’t get my head around it. Every club has it’s fair share of wally’s in their fanbase but we do seem to have more than anyone else. Edited September 17, 2021 by Hoolahoop14 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you on the whole , but my goodness there are some fanbases which contain many more wallies ... in the northern part of the country...and the western part... and... 😉 Well , if you're a Norwich fan and are able to get a ticket for the game, you should be roaring your team on !!!

Google Bot 3,299 Posted September 17, 2021 Poor ol Placheta been suffering by sounds of things, hope he gets feeling back to normal soon. Seems like 3-4 weeks now?

hogesar 9,736 Posted September 17, 2021 Really pleased Farke's come out all guns blazing at some of the ridiculous OTT criticism of his team so far, considering the fixtures played. For the most part that's not really been on here, but on social media it's been pathetic in places. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You actually think that the players have lost belief four games in? I would recommend that you avoid projecting your own beliefs onto the players. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crispeduk 282 Posted September 17, 2021 Thing is, whatever he says and whatever team he puts out some people will always moan and no, it's not creative criticism, it's just an endless meaningless whine which could be coming from anyone, whether a true supporter or not. If Pukki gets dropped 'he should've played Pukki' if Todd starts and runs himself into the ground with a brilliant performance 'he should've used Cantwell as a super sub' whatever centre back pairing or three he chooses 'he should've changed it/left it alone, shaken it all about' and so it goes on. On another thread there's been recollections of past posters who may or may not still be around. Maybes this constant grinding, carping, boring criticism of everything Norwich City is the real reason people just stay away. So Goodbye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't mean these players are always in the starting line up. But what we have to make sure is we stay positive, we back them and we show them respect. At Premier League level it is more difficult for Teemu to shine than in the Championship. He definitely didn't say they are not to be dropped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted September 17, 2021 Well I hope Farke is getting the players stoked up for this as it's an immense game, I cannot wait. If it isn't a must win game then it's certainly a must not lose one imo. The season starts tomorrow, let's hope the day after looks as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,224 Posted September 17, 2021 Interesting comments from Farke, seems to be a bit on both sides. Players are obviously feeling it, as are the fans, unity is the way forwards and hopefully the players can deliver an early goal against Watford to help the atmosphere!
