DW reflecting on his Watford post-match comments: I think he gets it bang on. The gist is: "Maybe the words I used were too strong, but I stand by the message. 14 games to go, we've done really well to be closer to the 'interesting positions' (love this phrase, by the way), but we are not done. We need all to be together." Hard to argue, no? Time to put those differences aside. Eyes on the prize, a Wembley appearance and ruining Ipswich's best season for years. What's not to like? On the ball, City. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pleased he’s acknowledged that he may have come on too strong but he’s only human but also pleased he hasn’t backed down hopefully those who did boo can meet him halfway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's great that he's clarified this though, as the 'stay at home' comment has been the boldened quote everywhere, which is typical of media. It's clear that the underlying message was asking for trust and support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,731 Posted February 16 The bit that's key from the PinkUn is: That atmosphere led to bemusement among the first-team squad and soured the mood on a night that saw Norwich return to the play-off positions for the first time since September I've said God knows how many times the players are very much behind Wagner and even earlier in the season they didn't understand some of the vitriol directed his way. He's done well to keep them all onside and therefore the ridiculous booing of substitutions is p*ssing off our own best players - the same people will then moan when they want to leave. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,037 Posted February 16 Webber has a lot to answer for with his attitude towards the fans, he is gone but his legacy remains. It is good he has toned his words down but stuck to this underlying message of getting behind the team. Hopefully another home win is incoming tomorrow and the supporters get behind the team......... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,601 Posted February 16 I still hope the boo boys and girls stay away because I have a fear that Cardiff score early and they finish the job for them by turning on our own. Alternatively we win at a canter, score every 10 minutes, don't concede and only make a sub if a player goes off on a stretcher. Unless it's Gibson. Or Kenny. Or Onel...

howzer14 5 Posted February 16 That atmosphere led to bemusement among the first-team squad and soured the mood on a night that saw Norwich return to the play-off positions for the first time since September Do you not think this says a lot though? The squad are bemused that fans are unhappy with things currently yet the 24hrs between the end of Tuesdays games and Wednesdays games were the 1st time we have been in the play-offs in close to 5 months... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says that the players probably understand how big the injury impact was within the camp and that for the past 17 games they've been in play-off form so to boo a sub midway through a game that was being won is just as stupid as it sounds. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrdi 373 Posted February 17 (edited) The simple thing here is to not boo substitutions, full stop. There are at least 3 people involved in every substitution and for the players themselves, it’s unclear who’s actually being booed, more often than not. When Gibson entered the pitch a few weeks back I really felt for him; it was horribly uncomfortable. So much for encouraging our own players. This really isn’t about Wagner, or any of the squad. While I disagree with Wagner’s in-game decisions far too often, I can’t bring myself to ever boo a substitution, or indeed any of our own players in-game. Boo the officials, the opposition, boo at FT if it’s been an abject performance. If Fassnacht comes on at 60 mins for Rowe, cool. Encourage the lad. It’s not about staying home, it’s about giving your head a wobble and giving the team the lift. It’s what we’re there for, isn’t it?

Harry53 211 Posted February 17 As Connor said in his post match report, what more can DW do? We are in good form, he had to make those substitutions, and we won again. Understandable that he was angry and spoke out. He is a good guy and we should applaud how he has improved the team and results. I am saying I think he should be here next season, but so far it's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have absolutely no idea what that means. My views on the booing/chanting on Tuesday night are clear from my posts on this board. My views on the need for reconciliation between the club and the fans are also clear. I am looking forward to another home win today and a truce breaking out. I was merely stating my opinion that Wagner is reaping what Webber sowed, not helped by Delia's ill informed comments at the AGM. I was merely stating my opinion......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
