yellow_belly 227 Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I appreciate that this is mentioned all over the Forum, but who show we go for? For what it is worth… I am starting to warm to Roy Hodgson for a season (then plan for the future at the end of this season). He would be a big improvement on Farke in the short term and would give us a chance of staying up. Farke is a lovely chap. Good in the Championship but awful in the PL (probably our worse top flight manager ever…. Can we seriously think of a worse top flight manager? There can’t be that many?!) Over to you… Wishing you all a great day! Edited September 20, 2021 by yellow_belly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,813 Posted September 20, 2021 Daniel Farke is the manager and will get this squad to start performing better. I like to think the issues we have are growing pains - look where we started from four years ago and see how the squad has developed and our football improved. Yes this season has been hard to take so far and the PL is a very unforgiving league - and consider that whoever we get in might not be any better and could be a heck of a lot worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted September 20, 2021 Ian Holloway has a lot of good things to say about our club. Now’s not the time as Farke deserves time and support but in the future who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow_belly 227 Posted September 20, 2021 Hi LDC, I remember you saying a similar thing about Daniel Farke the last time we were in our ‘record breaking season’ in PL. We will finish bottom if we don’t change our approach and personnel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate this sentiment Lakey, but emotions are not the right thing to go by now. Unfortunately he hasn't performed at this level, as the stats prove . I do not adhere to stats very often when it comes to football, but in this case they don't lie do they? Lost 15 games on the bounce in the PL ... I mean that is terrible... Whoever we get in might be worse ... true ... but it can't get any worse tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost 15 games on the bounce in the PL ... I mean that is terrible... Whoever we get in might be worse ... true ... but it can't get any worse tbh... The 15 match run thing is irrelevant in my view. We were always likely to lose the first four games this season - anyone can see that, but it is this 5th one that hurts the most because it was against Watford - but then that is just one game - where we played two brand new players and it was clear they weren't integrated well enough yet. If people want to add these five games to two seasons ago, then that is up to them - but it is just another stick to beat the club with when really it is disconnected. The real test comes now and how we react to the Watford defeat - whether the new players can get up to speed or whether the right combination of players can be found, if the players stop making mistakes like McLean did etc etc. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it’s 5 now which if you’d backed Liverpool, Man City, Leicester, Arsenal and Watford added up to odds of 12/1+. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's losing the supporters , he most definitely is. There must be an end to the excuses , like the first 4 games were against so and so. If you're going to be a PL side , you must perform against these kind of teams too. We didn't perform well against them , I'm sorry... If a miracle happens and he turns it around with the new guys performing much better , then I will be amazed and happy... But at the moment and after the performances we have witnessed , I just don't see that happening. The only thing I have read and heard are excuses,... not a good thing to go by 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,813 Posted September 20, 2021 3 minutes ago, Midlands Yellow said: Of course it’s relevant, same manager playing with a fear factor. Rubbish. You think the manager is scared? This was the man that turned a losing mentality into a winning one last season and how did he do that? By improving the squad and instilling belief. He did that when he came to Norwich and he did it again last season. He'll do it again if our those fans that are fickle don't spoil it for him. No-one likes losing five in a row, but throwing away a coach of Farke's capabilities and mindset would be foolish. He is still the man and imo will prove that in the coming weeks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
