Three points away from home

So…..what has changed?

We still look nothing like a football team.

Still, at least the players have had a nice jolly in Florida…….

+4

And a clean sheet

This board could go into melt down tonight if England make it a double win.

[Branston Pickle 3,689]

Dreadful? Wow. We won 1-0 away at a strongly fancied Swansea who created hardly anything. I’ll take that any day of the week in any season.

Really is a disgrace that we don't go to a top half team and play them off the park and only get three points! 🤦‍♂️

[unique 439]

Three points is what makes it so concerning……

It means this shower of shoite are closer to plying their atrocious brand of football in the PL next season.

Perish the thought!

Yep I thought once Peterborough equalised they would go on and win, scored the 2nd totally against the run of play.

What has Dean Smith bought to Norwich that would give us any chance of PL survival? The absolute dross we see consistently would be torn apart by every PL club

So you have us promoted already. Interesting. Maybe, just maybe, we ought to cross the PL bridge IF we get there.

I think the moderators ended up deleting his posts so I can't pull them up but I for one haven't forgotten, and I think anyone who saw his posts at the time also wouldn't have done.

Surely that is what the actual desired endgame is here? Success at this level results in promotion……Considering we have been there with this manager and he was an absolute disaster, then maybe, we ought to be thinking about our approach if we return under him

No, not forgotten, you’re spot on. 

[Ken Hairy 3,781]

Behave Chippy, yeah it was scrappy but a 1-0 win is a win. I'll take exactly the same tonight 👍

I dunno.  The ability to get a result whilst being outplayed? 🤔

You think that will crossover into the quality of the PL?? How come he couldn’t do that last season then?

The bigger picture? I think we get to see that gradually - for me it's one result at a time. Like you I'm not enamoured by the performance level or the tactics or our 'identity'. But sometimes we have to wait and have a little patience. It's a task in many areas of life.

I also don't put 100% of the blame on one person - whether that is scapegoating a player or a manager. We are where are (4th) and even if I was watching us under DF playing like the way we are then I would feel the same. Castigating one person feels juvenile to me.

I'm not a particular fan of Gibson or Hanley in the team. I think both are average. But I still support them. I don't think the players we have are so much better than any number of other Championship teams. I disagree we have  a PL team in waiting.

It's a complex thing.... Getting a championship winning team has so many variables. For me, we are still in some weird transition. As for Smith, I'm ambivalent really. Then, I would have kept Farke.

I see flashes of good play VR and just remain hopeful that these will translate soon to something more constant.

I'm an older fan (getting towards 60 years of active support) and I've seen so much worse than what I'm seeing. So, given that you'll understand my 'big picture'. I just try and enjoy a result because I forget how it was achieved in time. Little things like new upcoming players, like new investment also make up a big picture. And I've not too much to complain about.

Sorry for long reply btw.

If you are happy with that you need therapy.

That’s fair enough. I’m very much of the opinion now that having been a yo yo club we really need to be seeing something to give us some hope of survival if we’re to be going up again. What we’ve seen consistently from Smith would have us finishing rock bottom again. Unfortunately we are at a point where if we can’t kick on at PL level, then any success at this level seems pointless. I also believe it was a massive mistake to sack Farke, But having done so it was an even bigger mistake to appoint a manager who’s such a polar opposite in approach

Probably, was watching Morocco and listening to Norwich game. In fairness it didn’t sound like we were outplayed but dug in and sat on a 1-0 against a team that likes to keep the ball but didn’t create that much against us.

I wouldn’t say we were outplayed but Swansea missed some big chances in that second half, and will feel that they should have come away with at least a point.
