cambridgeshire canary 7,798 Posted October 28, 2023 What on Earth must he be thinking watching this clownshow? Seeing Duffy scoring own goals, Mclean getting picked in the defence ahead of him and then giving away a penalty straigtht away..

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,620 Posted October 28, 2023 Sainz, as well. He's been fully fit for a few weeks now according to Wagner but still can't get a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top corner 260 Posted October 28, 2023 That really is a 1 fingered salute to Batth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted October 28, 2023 So in order to get Idah on he weakens the defence and the midfield, really the wrong call. Unfortunately Duffy has sealed his fate for him too after a truly abysmal performance all afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 371 Posted October 28, 2023 Why feel sorry for him. He is getting the wages he wanted by joining City. And by not playing has improved his standing and will not be tainted with the Wagner stink. Batth could only be integrated into the squad when Wagner is history, which hopefully will be soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He turned down Sunderland's contract offer so is hardly being paid peanuts. I'd rather Warner was picked than Batth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 2,354 Posted October 28, 2023 To be fair, the reputations of most players not featuring in the first eleven always improves dramatically when the team is failing. Some people were saying Forshaw was the solution to our brittle midfield. Those people seem eerily quiet after today's debacle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can make it up and you quite often do Duffy’s ‘own goal’ was goal bound and it deflected off him I’d be giving Warner a start, he’s the real deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted October 29, 2023 Really weird signing… being paid £25k+ a week to not play after all that hype about not being arsed over Big Andy leaving because we had a big replacement lined up. i can only think that Ba’ath wasn’t the intended replacement (perhaps Ronnie Edward’s was/is) and Ba’ath was a panic buy once Edward’s wasn’t happening?

Indy 3,471 Posted October 29, 2023 You could ask why? Might just be Batth isn’t very motivated in training, looks worse in training and do we need a 30 + year old defender to come in or should we actually say this experience Road of four aging old CB isn’t the way we should be going and bring in Warner for a full few games! Young hungry and showed how good he was at Fulham 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted October 29, 2023 If Batth is as good as Forshaw we just need to hope he stays on the bench. It was a ridiculous recruitment strategy. We're not going to be promoted this season; time for a younger Norwich City and that means Warner should at least be on the bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, so now we have ten 30 + players on at least two season contracts so here next year too, high wages and blocking the progression of some of the younger players as there’s a pressure on the recruitment team including Webber & Wagner to play these journeymen. Sad as Warner must be really p1ssed off seeing Duffy make error upon errors and can’t even get on the bench after looking so good at Fulham!

Jim Smith 2,610 Posted November 5, 2023 Is Warner left footed? I’m all for chucking him in to be honest as I think we need more pace back there although I tend to agree re Duffy. Hopefully soon it might be Warner and Hanley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Coneys boots 1,531 Posted November 5, 2023 He must have said some home truths to the management - it just makes so sense otherwise. He’s a CB who won player of the season at a decent champs club last year- yet Kenny gets in ahead of him. So insulting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
