East Rider 551 Posted January 6 and completely for now, sucked out of this great club. Nigh on 20 thousand supporters there for an unfashionable but potentially exciting tie against a mid table league 1 side. Starting with our main strikers, our best defender and club captain and defenders who have been involved enough this season. In fact other than Forshaw virtually every player in that starting line up had previously started games recently. It was a strong line up. The ground is full of new young supporters, probably here for the first time this season, excited at a potentially positive attacking display by city and what do we end up? An abjectly poor, lethargically mind numbing, painfully disjointed and frankly tediously boring 1-1 drab 90 minutes of uninspiring pointlessly ineffective football. Hang your heads in shame Norwich senior management. The coaching/tactics/in game management/will to win attitude/forward fast integrated play/aggression etc etc etc, is missing in action yet again. Enough is enough. Sort it out NCFC, this is simply not acceptable, otherwise I strongly suspect you will reap the whirlwind that is coming! 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the subject of younger faces at the game today, I thought it was fantastic. We rely on a great fan base and seeing the crowd today, was for me the problem with our current capacity. If we could offer a really cheap season ticket for the younger crowd, we sow the seeds for our future. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I understand that we are not selling out but there does need to be some financial encouragement to get younger fans in. Considering the season we are having, we had circa 20k people there today 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The joy was sucked out watching Moneycheat Citeh play training triangles around us snd drawing Red Scouse for thr opener for the second time on thr trot. Then firing Farke and hiring Smith. That's when the joy got sucked out entirely, losing in the cup is standard really kinda whatever territory. If your just now getting apathetic the party started in 2022.

vos 155 Posted January 6 I don’t agree this was a strong lineup. With key players returning from injury we should have played our full strength side who will start against Hull. We desperately need a huge improvement in attacking intent coupled with significant improvement with our crossing. This would have been an ideal opportunity to get some cohesion and confidence in to the side. It was criminal to waste time again with Hernandez and Idah in particular. I do not accept the argument that some players need a rest. The top teams who play in Europe regularly play twice a week with full strength sides. Possible injuries - well that is always a possible risk. Bearing in mind the crowd makeup was slightly different it was a golden opportunity to bring back some positivity to Carrow Road. Wagner and his coaches just do not seem to be up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 263 Posted January 6 Hernandez was actually one of our better players today. We were worse after he was subbed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sara who was missing was I believe the only player who has appeared in every game so for this season. Long had a very good game and kept us in it.
