By Hook or Ian crook 917 Posted April 30, 2022 Norwich must surely have the worst record of getting success from loan players. Short of Skipp and Huckerby I can’t think of any that have excelled in a city shirt. I mean we even had the captain of England on loan once and he looked awful for us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted April 30, 2022 Williams should never have started today. Idiotic decision that cost us both goals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,235 Posted April 30, 2022 Gilmour and Williams looked two of the only players really trying out there today. Yes there’s little point in continuing to play them but it’s the players who’s contracts we do hold who need to take a long hard look at themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,218 Posted April 30, 2022 Crouch was decent. David Rocastle too. One of them is dead tho (RIP ☹️ ) I had hair then too. . Apart from them my mind's blank. Yeah. Send them back. Play the kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coneys Knee 978 Posted April 30, 2022 I must be the only one that is thinking the opposite to this thread. I would play as many as possible of the players that won’t be here next season. The hardest part of our preparation (aside from engaging in decent recruitment) will be to shake the losing mentality of this season. For that reason I’d rather the ones that are leaving play so they can take that mentality away with them. Focus on getting the minds right in the ones we’re keeping. The benefit of physical game practice will minimal at this stage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,704 Posted April 30, 2022 Thought Gilmour and Williams showed a little bit of determination today. Normann on the other hand... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bovril 219 Posted April 30, 2022 That's just it though, Gilmour has never been found wanting for effort. He's tried all season, just nowhere near good enough/strong enough at this level right now. All of the signings have turned out embarrasing. Not one signing can say they have improved the squad from last year's starting XI. That lies at the foot of one man, and one many only. Thanks for all the great work you've done Webber (genuinely) but your time is up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,423 Posted April 30, 2022 Gilmour close to our man of the match today. Makes you think what could have been if we put some metal around him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knew at the end of last season we needed a defensive midfielder, a ball winner. Well everyone apart from the head of our recruitment that is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's fair to say he hasn't lacked for effort, but it's not that he's not good enough, it's that he's not suitable to the situation. He'd probably look great in a mid-table team.

Fr. Chewy Louie 137 Posted April 30, 2022 Oh and on loan players generally, they don't have to be an absolute success or an absolute failure, we've had plenty who have been... fine. Harper, Crouch, Dijks, Reed, Rhodes, Quintilla off the top of my head. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,261 Posted April 30, 2022 I mean Gilmour has largely been poor but Normann is truly shocking. The fact he is still selected gives me zero confidence in Smith. But agree with the OP they shouldn't be picked now in favour of our own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 320 Posted April 30, 2022 No matter how poor they have been they are certain to start next week.. Smith not got the nous to change the midfield gone with largely the same misfiring players and and formations since he got here. Expect the same next seasson.
