Mullet 293 Posted September 27, 2021 I have to say what a deluded bunch you are. Should we call the last 6 games pre season? Palace lost 7 in a row and survived, Bloody VAR again, Mini survival league. We need to cut out mistakes. Once we start scoring we will end up in 11th. What an embarrassment. Some of you are hanging on to any kind of hope by your last finger nail and must be thinking the football gods will take pity on our poor club and start giving us wins. They won't. We are bottom pointless because we deserve to be. Any football team in any league that loses 6 straight, can't score and can't defend and has a manager unable to get his players to run through walls in order to get points deserves all they get. NOTHING. There are no football gods looking in our favour, by deluding yourselves your are just setting yourselves up for more misery. Wake up 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,759 Posted September 27, 2021 Well its one of two things Everyone was patting themselves on the back less than a month ago about what a great transfer window we'd had, including Farke himself who commended Webber for his work So either...we did have a good window and these are good players, who are being badly coached Or.. We didnt have a good window and we've spent a lot of money of substandard players, in which case the recruitment team, headed by Webber are culpable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wake up The thing is though Mullet, supporting a team is mostly about having faith. That is what "supporting" actually means!! It is about hope. The sun will rise tomorrow. We know it's been a sh1*t start. It's not delusional though to carry on supporting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted September 27, 2021 Noone seems to have found any form which is disappointing. Kabak and Normann are not fit. Normann is new to England and the Prem (ok I know he was at Brighton but he still has a lot of adjusting to do). Gilmour has been a disappointment, not shown any of the ability that compensated for his slight physique in a Chelsea shirt. Lees-Melou has disappointed as has Rashica, but again both adapting to a new country and league. Williams I think has done well, though plenty disagree. It might be time for Giannoulis to come back in. Krul doesnt seem quite his talismanic self. I dont think Hanley has been as bad as people are making out, but not been great either. Max doesnt seem to be firing on all cylindars yet. Kenny has shown flashes of quality but also flashes of ****ness - see crap free kick, knocked off ball x2 and giving away possession leading to goal. Sargent was great in the Watford game, anonymous against Everton. Pukki somewhat off the boil. Idah flatters to deceive. Its not reassuring, but there is no reason to be writing the season off after 6 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always been a supporter and always will be, I'm not depressed about it, its just a huge shame to me and I won't delude myself that a poor offensive team will start scoring enough goals or a poor defensive team will suddenly be tight at the back. So far every game has been the same old, same old, its like groundhog day and I promised myself after Watford I won't be going again so someone else can gladly have my seat. I have one wish now and that is we get at least 12 points and avoid being the poorest team in Premier league history Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’d think the world was ending reading the tone of this post. We’re only 6 games in to the season and a lot can change very fast in football.

God forbid any supporters of NCFC trying to find some positives. Its like you missed the most important part of what being a supporter is, didn’t you? You know, the supporting part? But no, no, no there’s NOTHING to be positive about, there’s NOTHING to hope for from this season and there’s NOTHING to support about this team!!! We must all deride everything about the club’s existence right now and wallow in universal self pity. What else is there to say? Seriously, I have to question why you bother? If ‘supporting’ my team would give me so much misery I would genuinely just pack it in. But then maybe you just like getting yourself in a big old twist about it? I take it you’ll also be shouting at people for clapping, singing and trying to get behind the team the next time we’re at Carrow Road too? ‘HOW DARE ALL OF YOU SUPPORTERS OF NCFC, SUPPORT NCFC….!!’ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the club deserves credit for the signings and I believe we should be competitive with our squad. The problem has to be the coaching. We are trying to play nice honest football every week instead of running through walls to scrounge as many points as possible.
