Big Vince 317 Posted October 23, 2021 Where are all those numpty Norwich fans now who were deriding the ownership model at Watford? Watford have today proven it is a good thing to change the manager because you can then go to Everton and hit 5!! The contrast between the two promoted clubs couldn't be starker tonight. One makes a managerial change and wins handsomely whereas the other fails to make the ruthless decision required, play like fairies and loseĀ 7-0. I ever so smugly rest my case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 643 Posted October 23, 2021 This is a fair point. Other teams make big changes when they can see things aren't going well, and yet we just plod along, sleepwalking to relegation and praising the opposition whilst doing so with each passing defeat. Imagine being able to go somewhere like Goodison as a newly promoted team and scoring 5 goals. And coming back from behind to do so! We haven't come from behind to win a Premier League in years, and the way things are going, I wonder if we will have scored 5 goals in total by Xmas. It's absolutely woeful. Nobody can defend it.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 23, 2021 I guess if we take anything from them, they stunk the place out last weekend vs Liverpool and bounced back today... I doubt our bunch are capable of such a turnaround but it can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KernowCanary 214 Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) A lot of teams had a worse start than Derby 07/08 only to survive. However, are we in the record books for the worse start to any Premier League season after 9 matches?. I know QPR 12/13 come close, as after 9 matches their record was W0 D3 L6 F7 A18 PTS 3.

Might as well give it a goĀ It is precisely this kind of defeatist attitude which unites Canary fans with their owners. That is why the EPL should bar both from this competition in future. Everything about NCFC is incompatible with the EPL. SportTalk can see it and every other national media outlet is quite rightly slating the club. Norwich City should just disappear back into the obscurity it desires. A return to the fare dished up in the 1920s, 30s, 40s (pre-Watling) would suit nicely.

AJ 1,218 Posted October 23, 2021 Watford are winning points by outscoring the opposition, a tactic we tried and failed with 2 seasons ago. So, we've now altered our tactics to just let the opposition score and save ourselves for next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
