goldfishandgravel 11 Posted September 27, 2021 From what I've seen of the extended highlights (and listened on the radio), Norwich are definitely improving, the new players do look good, especially Normann. I think in one or two games they will find that missing gel (missing goals, assists) and we will beat a team by scoring 3 or 4 goals. (I think against Burnley) Once those first goals go flying into the opponents net, I think all will be ok, and will finish 11th. 2 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldfishandgravel 11 Posted September 27, 2021 Not a troll, and maybe they won't finish mid table but I think they'll stay up, some of the new players do look very good- and they've only played, what like 2 or 3 games? Normann, and I think Kabak will improve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldfishandgravel 11 Posted September 27, 2021 I'll pop back here after the Burnley game because I can feel something in the air. Normann does look like a good PL player Kabak and therefore the defence will improve 2 things I don't think anyone could disagree with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted September 27, 2021 We won't finish 11 unless we have a complete turnaround in ability and form. The only game we've been in this season in the league was Leicester, we have barely turned up at the others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,520 Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Saying "we're staying up" is no worse than saying "we're going down" which is what the doom mongers say. It's just the other side of the coin. I'm all for positivity like the op's - being positive and up for the fight is much more uplifting than all the wails and screeches of those that want to wallow in self-pity about our recent results. We are at the races, we are improving, the goals we concede are often by silly mistakes, not by being beaten by skill - and with the new players starting to get into their stride, there is every reason to be optimistic we can improve and tip the balance. Saturday we were beaten by a VAR official who should have kept his nose out of what the referee saw and a mistake in midfield that could have been avoided. It's small margins and with hard work and belief, those margins can be tipped in our favour. Edited September 27, 2021 by lake district canary 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got out the wrong side of the bed this morning? What is drivel about that post exactly? That we competed reasonably well against Everton? The var official interfering when he shouldn't have? The mistake McLean made that led to the second goal? That looking for positives is not a good thing to do? Or do you class it as drivel simply because you disagree with it?

The drivel is it is the same drivel as what you dish up after every game we lose Lakey and it is therefore getting more and more repetitive as the weeks go by. Fine margins, we are improving, new players getting into their stride, silly mistakes etc. We are not improving or we would not be continually making these silly mistakes and would be scoring a goal or two now and again. The blame on VAR is another hobby horse of yours. As for new players does that include Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Mclean or Pukki who started on Saturday and have been the spin of the team for over a season now ? Not forgetting of course other squad players like Idah, Giannoulis,Sorensen, Dowell,Cantwell and Rupp. Blimey even Gunn although a recent signing is no stranger to the club. Yes Zimmermann was injured but he is cemented in the squad. May i also point out that DCL and Richarlison plus club captain Coleman were missing from the Everton line up.

Depends on your point of view, doesn't it. I would prefer to look at the way the team and season will develop from here, not dwell too much on the past.
