BroadstairsR 2,164 Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Lees-Melou, McClean, Rupp, Gilmore all different players with their own particular strengths but all much of a muchness when it comes to results. Shuffling the pack makes little difference. Only Normann has really stood out, whilst the others have moments. Let's hope something finally clicks against Brighton, and we arrive at a settled eleven. I had thought it a good window. Edited October 12, 2021 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had thought it a good window. I think it probably still was, we just had too far to jump. Not because we had worse players than those who came up with us, just a group I'll suited to playing as one of the worst teams in the Premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was true of everyone until last week. People are picking him because they think he has the potential to unlock other teams from the midfield and that with Normann, a box to box and a back 3 playing, the lightweight thing is not so relevant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Wal 314 Posted October 12, 2021 Against Burnley we needed to counter a physical team who throw numerous crosses into the box. It was extremely sensible to play three centre backs. Brighton do not play that way and are certainly not as physical. Why do most people seem to think we will have 532 again? I don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing has crossed my mind, but either way it surely wouldn't lead to this situation? Cantwell would want to put himself in the shop window for teams to sign him so would want to be playing, and the club would want to be playing him to try and survive, whether he stays or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it could be that he has made it clear he isn't going to sign another contract and been told he won't be playing in that case, but I don't think it would have come to that. They are calling it "personal reasons" and that should be taken at face value, until or unless we hear otherwise. Looking forwards to seeing him back in the squad.

Yeah but is the club going to make him stay and pay his salary for another year if he's unwilling to play for the club?

Pugin 601 Posted October 12, 2021 2 hours ago, horsefly said: Pure speculation, but I'm beginning to wonder whether he has made it clear that he has no intention of signing another contract. Cantwell has trained all week, and was training in the days leading up to Burnley so could have been available at a pinch. He will be available to play on Saturday if needed, subject to circumstances beyond his control. Sorry, but I find the speculation a bit nauseating. There are on occasions some things more important than football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1902 1,167 Posted October 12, 2021 On Cantwell, nothing about it sounds like a football related issue to me. Nothing really in the press regarding a fall out and the club wouldn't cover for him if it was. It's not the way Norwich operate and it's not the way agents operate either. Tbh, I'd prefer if it was a football issue as whatever it is must not be great for the young man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might well be that Farke is prioritsing some of the new players (Rashica and Tzolis) given that they are likely to be with us for the longer term. It's not a criticism of Cantwell or a suggestion that he is giving less than 100% in training. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,402 Posted October 12, 2021 So what if anything can we learn from tonight's Internationals? Scotland: Hanley is back, Gilmour is retained in midfield, but McLean still only makes the bench. Clarke has a different view from Farke then? For Ireland, Omobamidele starts but Idah on the bench. Does this knock Idah's confidence completely? Fingers crossed no injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not suggesting Cantwell is doing anything other than giving 100%. I think it might be more likely that Farke is prioritizing the likes of Rashica and Tzolis because they are more likely to be here for the longer term.
