The Bunny 314 Posted April 2, 2022 Obviously a point against a struggling  Brighton is not a point nearer safety when you have 8 games left. Getting just a point in that situation only makes our situation more dire. That statement actually says a lot about how we approached that game. You could see from the way we played in the second half that we were very happy to take a draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,853 Posted April 2, 2022 I really can't get behind him. He's not Norwich City; just a temporary imposter picking up a paycheck. The longer he's here, the more damage he is going to do. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,648 Posted April 2, 2022 Is it a point further away then? If it's not a point nearer then can you do what I could never do at school and show me the working out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,782 Posted April 2, 2022 All depends on the Everton result tomorrow to see if its a point nearer safety as opposed to 2 points further away if we're being honest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtopia 519 Posted April 2, 2022 I reckon that party line was the only one he could take. If we were close to suriving or mid table, a clean sheet and a draw would be okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingston Yellow 224 Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I don’t mind Smith hanging on for a miracle. However, what I have a big problem with, is Rob Butler and the rest of the planks Radio Norfolk talking as though we’re still in with a shout. Those idiots are a big part of the problem. Not holding the Board to account and instead, pretending that we’re still battling. Edited April 2, 2022 by Kingston Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We only got a point, so the points required per game has risen, so it's not a point further away, but our odds on surviving lengthened from their already insanely long odds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beanbag 22 Posted April 2, 2022 Points make prizes. Every point counts with our survival in the Premiership, do we really want to be playing in the inferior Championship next season? We have our pride to consider. Onwards and upwards. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,947 Posted April 2, 2022 After the way we played for a draw today, I get the feeling the powers that be - Delia, Webber and Smith - just want to get to 22 points, one more than we got under Farke two years ago. Then they can argue that we're progressing and nothing needs to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelm Canary 404 Posted April 3, 2022 Only got a point because of Brighton's utterly woeful finishing. Every other team in this league beats us in that game. The penalty miss sums it up for them. The game was appalling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,323 Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Why even keep going on about survival! We’re only averaging 0.6 points per game, we need to double that just to catch up to Everton, that’s if they don’t pick up anymore points! The reality is Smith should be focusing on next season, Normann has already indicated he doesn’t want to be here next year, get him out the team, Kabak is out now so he’s gone,  Why not send Gilmour back, better off playing Sorensen or one of the youth products to give them the taste of top flight! Utterly pointless by Smith I’d much rather he came out with we’ll give it our best but we need to be realistic and look to next season.

Channon’s Windmill 335 Posted April 3, 2022 Dean Smith and Norwich isn’t a good fit. We have totally lost all the identity we had built under Farke and we are now playing something that doesn’t even resemble football. The players and coaching staff (bar Krul and Hanley) should be totally embarrassed by that performance and should donate their wages to charity. Utterly carp. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingsway 94 Posted April 3, 2022 Just lip service! While its mathematiclly possible to stay up Smith wouldn't be doing his job if he publicly threw in the towell! Â He knows probably better than most of us that theirs more chance of winning the lottery jackpot than Norwich staying up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like you watched it on the Radio Double N. It was honestly one of the worst performances of the season. Brighton were woeful and we didn't trouble them at all. Hence the feather spitting. Deano told us on Thursday we had to play better. And we were worse. Hence more feathers spat out. And then to claim the point nearer safety when that was all he was playing for meant even more feathers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
