Well that was about as good as you will get.Against a very poor Plymouth side everything clicked,players finding space to receive the ball,intelligent positioning and running.It really was a good performance.
McLean at his best,making sure not to get a booking,Crnac having his best game to date and Saintz is just unstoppable at the moment.

Calm down . One game at a time. See where we are and play the next one. Waaaaay too early to be predicting  anything . 

I didn’t say we were one of the 6, did I?

Fisher back in for Chirsene too.

Not sure about that, certainly feel a left footed LB is better for the team. 

[Jim Smith 2,641]

Very enjoyable. Not perfect, we need to be less sloppy in our own half. But we are technically excellent and have the quality to open up anyone at this level. The movement and interplay is a joy at times.

as someone else said I would start Slimane and Schwartau over Sorensen and Forson on Saturday. Very pleased for Crnac.

Norwich City  3 (Crnac, Schwartau and Forson) Plymouth Argyle 3 (McLean OG, McLean OG, McLean OG)

I see I correctly predicted our players would score six goals...🤩

And i didnt say you did. If you can name the six now,  in correct order ,I'll bung €20  in the CSF fund at end of season.. That's what I meant by predict.  Clever clogs. Or even the four , if there's oly 2 places to play for

Oh I don’t know. We were wasteful and should have had a couple more

Essexs whining is nothing to do with football, it's to do with his inflated ego and his inadequacies.

If that's true, then fine. But that's not how it looked at the ground. Benefit of watching it on TV I guess.

Agreed would much prefer to be at the stadium

It’s ok, I did mean us really 😉

If I was Thorup I'd be starting Slimane and Schwartau over Sorenson and Forson v Luton.

Definitely Slimane for Sorenson. Personally I’d stick with Forson against Luton. A lot more to come from him I reckon. The confidence that’ll flow after a 6-1 win could help bring it out. 

[hogesar 10,935]

Well, Kenny comes back into the side and we win. Colour me shocked

I agree, I think Schwartau is better motivated chasing the carrot as he is already able to come on and affect games, which keeps him hungry and improving.

Forson clearly needs gametime and confidence - if he took a back seat at this point, I think there's a considerable risk that he could fade into the background and struggle to get back in.

Short-term Schwartau may be the better option, but i'm sure Thorup is seeking to build as many players up as possible.

Nunez has to come in for me along with Slimane. Nice to have some options at last

If Nunez is fit to start Saturday then obviously yes. Didn’t think he was going to be , hope he is.

It depends on Cordoba availability if he’s not fit then swap Fisher in for Crisene. If everyone is available then I would have Doyle at left back and Stacey at right but that is harsh on Fisher but I feel Stacey is a plus bombing on down the right.

[Well b back 3,639]

Kenny returns the losing / drawing streak changes to a win, even without Sargent lol

Kind of the opposite of flattering to deceive… insulting to deceive?

[Petriix 3,249]

Man am I glad I didn't make it to the game tonight... Mrs Petriix sure picked the perfect night to buy tickets for a gig that unfortunately clashed with a home game. "Nevermind" I said, "we'll probably struggle against lowly Plymouth". 

In other news, Erland Cooper was excellent and almost worth missing a six goal rout for. 

[Capt. Pants 5,146]

A decent performance but let's be honest 6-1 flattered Plymouth. I don't think I've seen a worse team at FCR.

Great night though, beer flowing, Crnac scores, what's not to like?

Get to the play-offs with Sainz and we have a real chance.

I hope Gibbs is OK but it was an odd substitution otherthan to give him minutes. We instantly looked better when Schwartau came on. I still think he will prove the best of the summer signings.

[Mason 47 2,005]

Great show. Caveats as normal, we won't get away with as many turnovers against any decent side, but you play the team in front of you.

Good performances all around- Marcondes, two assists and a hand in almost every other goal the pick of the bunch (aside from the obvious). Sainz on course for a mad season. Delighted for Crnac, happy that Forson is now looking less like a rabbit at a headlight convention. 

Onto Luton, who will surely be a sterner test- but do have a day less recovery than us, and a dreaded away/away week starting tomorrow night at Leeds. Big chance for another 3 points IMO

Edited November 27, 2024 by Mason 47

[Canary Wundaboy 1,424]

Great win, Marcondes looking like a tidy bit of business and Crnac with a great finish.

Don’t need to mention Sainz, he’s shaping up to be more of a cheat code at this level than Buendia was.

[LaUnionCanary 150]

Sainz has come on a big bundle this season. He was very good last season but is so much better this. JHT the reason?

Rubbish... should have been double figures!

Thing is though it geniinely should.

Been going to carrow rd for 44 yrs and the most i've seen us score in a league game is 7.....this was the biggest chance I've ever seen for us to have bettered that .

It really ,genuinely should have been 10 or 11

Plymouth incredibly poor and a performance warranting costing a manager his job
