****Official Lappinitup Match Thread - Cardiff V Norwich****

Idah was the big difference for me

[Capt. Pants 4,685]

Superb battling 2nd half.

Bringing Idah on actually changed the game.

I think that whatever else you say about Wagner, he hasn't lost the dressing room.

[Pyro Pete 2,210]

Guard of honour for Webber.

Curious.

Webber being brave away from the home - guard of honour for him  sad sad sad 

[7HAR1980 130]

Does @pete even care we won 3-2???

[repman 679]

Wagner should still go but I think it's clear that we don't need a Warnock-esque firefighter. This season is basically a write off but can also serve as a good opportunity to figure out what the next good Norwich team will look like (which would be next season at the very earliest).

I may not be his biggest fan but even ill admit him coming on did seem to rather shift the momentum. May not be the best striker around but you can't say he does not put effort in.. Unlike certain other players

Thank you own goal! Is this Wagner’s get out of jail free card used or is this where he gets sacked like Farke? 

[Petriix 3,029]

Finally his substitutions actually improved us. He had to pick a dog's dinner of a starting 11 to make it happen, but he did it. Look what happens when you put Rowe as a striker. McLean seems to be a better centre back than defensive midfielder because he knows he's supposed to be defending. 

[Ken Hairy 4,132]

Good away performance,  still suspect in defence but it does show most are still playing for him. 

I suspect he'll be given the international break and the QPR game, I just hope it's not a repeat of last season. 

It's also possible there could be a cloud lifting with Webber leaving today, I'd imagine he's as popular with the players as he is with us.

Wagner staying or going doesn't solve the ownership problem.

Shameful grammar

[Rock The Boat 1,332]

Webber leaves and we win. Coincidence?  I think not

[baldy09 176]

What should knapper do  first thing on Monday- 5 year contract for Wagner LOL

[A K Narey 181]

9 points above the relegation zone, 6 points off the top six. Our season is in the balance.

Nah, the difference was changing the fullbacks at half time.

Grant and Dowler had nowhere near the joy they had in the first half.

We won beacause we played Batth simple as 😉

[Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,958]

So glad of the 3 points - boy did we need it.

However, it's changed nothing imo - the deficiencies are still there for all to see. He rolled the dice, as he has done before when desperate, and today it finally paid out. He still needs to leave.

Time for a beer!

Guard of honour for Webber, jesus that's embarassing. What other club would give their outgoing SD a guard of honour after leaving us in the mess we're currently in?

 

The man's ego knows no limit

That can’t be right ? 
 

I love football.

It really is a "funny old game" and all that..

[Unthink road 132]

Good bit of fight and effective subs. Nice to win again. 

[Robert N. LiM 5,420]

Apparently Webber sacked Wagner via WhatsApp in the 80th minute

Good job we did then really ; - ) 

[Capt. Pants 4,685]

Difference was also that Giannoulis can actually control the ball unlike that clown Placheta, meant we could play out from the back with more purpose.

Idah gives us the option to go direct.

Johnny Rowe another lung busting performance too.

All down to you of course😉

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,416]

Needed that. We’re not as bad as our form suggests, and losing Sargent and Barnes has cost us dear. But.. this can’t change the decision that Wagner needs to go.

Well it means I can speak to Mrs beard sensibly on a Saturday night for the first time in a while ! I might even watch strictly with her !! 

[Robert N. LiM 5,420]

Still think Wagner's position is untenable, but he does seem a likeable guy. If this was his last game, a nice way to go out.

He'll be very unlucky to be gone before QPR. Just can't see Delia signing that off.

Goes without saying…
