Are that lot down the road really any good?

[lake district canary 4,830]

.....or is it a flash in the pan?  Shrewsbury did their best to let them win today, will they keep it up?

[Canary Wundaboy 1,423]

It’s all about momentum, right now they have it. Be interesting to see what happens when things start becoming more difficult.

[Yobocop 1,444]

Quite frankly this is a Norwich City forum, I have no interest in what Ipswich or any club for that matter does 

good luck to them but let’s concentrate on our own club shall we? 

[TeemuVanBasten 3,328]

I have no problem with them returning to the Championship, being able to beat them twice will be a silver lining when we get relegated from the Premier League, and Derby days braces and hat-tricks are legend makers.

[Yellow Green Army 248]

League 1 is really poor this season. If they don’t go up then they never will. Their fans are raving about the performances but in reality the competition so far has been sub standard. Be interesting to see how they fair against the better teams and how they bounce back from a defeat or two.

[keelansgrandad 6,680]

They are top. They have done well.

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035]

They havent played anyone yet whos likely to be up there (possibly Bolton)

A fairly kind opening set of fixtures

Theyve started well in division 3 before and it hasnt lasted

[Canary73 327]

Pompey, Wednesday, Derby, Bolton, Charlton will be eyeing up the automatics plus Posh and Cambridge have two 'derby' games against them. Early days still. 

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Duck me, we'll soon be seeing halfy half scarves on here...

[Cantiaci Canary 610]

They've started well before ....

[NCFChapman 15]

I think they'll be up there this season. 

My dream scenario is they finish 3rd,  missing automatic on GD and then lose on penalties at Wembley 😂

My dream scenario is they lose their last 41 games and get relegated. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

It's all relative isn't it?  League 1 good,  is still Championship crap 🤷

[Jim Smith 2,610]

It’s a rubbish division and they’ve sorted themselves out and hoovered up some of the better lower league players. I think they will come up this season unfortunately but it doesn’t mean they are any good. We would beat them comfortably. 

[Jim Smith 2,610]

They also don’t seem to play anyone challenging til mid September so expect their run to continue for a while yet. 

[FenwayFrank 2,717]

As others have said, the only decent team they’ve played so far is Bolton, the other four teams are currently in the bottom seven. It’s not like they’re running away with it, let’s see where they are in October

And in past recent seasons their issue has very much been competing with the better teams in the division. Didn’t they only have one win either home or away against ‘top 10’ teams a couple of seasons ago? That will be the true test, but this year they have the momentum that an easy start has given them.

[Paul101 190]

they are doing ok but the only strong team they have played was a Draw

 

so will be interesting to see how they get on

 

the fans seem to think they are the Richest club outside the premier league so its expected in there minds

[nutty nigel 7,902]

This is their fourth consecutive season in the third division. Let that sink in...

Just like us, championship good, PL crap 🤣

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Except we do get promoted to the PL. They are stagnating in the third division. 

[hogesar 10,762]

Being the best in the third tier tends to make you about the 24th best team in the championship such is the gap

 

[astro 423]

……for wiping your ar&e on? Yes, quite satisfactory actually. 👍

[Mello Yello 2,572]

Why are folk on here even discussing them over the border?.....Are they rattling their cages?.....

Even 'stagnation' tends to end sometime. Sunderland were promoted in their fourth season in  League One. 

[glory.win or die. 273]

For league 1 yes, although I think they may still be missing a main regular CF.

Think they are nailed on top 6 but there are 4 or 5 teams that can compete for top 2 so hopefully they fail in play offs which would be more enjoyable than another limp mid table finish

Beacause sadly there are some on here who seem to jerk off to the idea of Ipswich going up. Strrange, I know.

Talking of Ipswich......

There were a few prize plums on here had them storming the playoffs last season. They were never even close. Now the closet doors are rattling again. Come out, come out, wherever you are....

Some on here seem to get excited by the idea that it's good to play them, local derby and all that jazz, so maybe they think that's more likely if they get promotion ?
