Re: Georginio Rutter-

TBF, I thought Anthony looked decent in his cameo last match, but point taken. Rotation has been a problem with this squad. It has but in part, this is down to a lack of injuries throughout the season and the 14 game run after Christmas. No coach would make changes for changes sake when the team ar...

Re: Georginio Rutter-

Probably Rutter's most ineffective game of the season. That air-shot after Gnonto had brilliantly set him up sums Georginio's game since his hip operation. Apparently that is through being over coached. Not heard anything so ludicrous. Farke has shown far more patience than many other coaches would...

Re: Norwich 2nd leg pre match chat

He has a record, in four seasons he has saved one penalty in the vast majority of the cases he just falls over Look it up fory ourself. He may as well not be there. Good examples here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27UUxL7p7gE Penalties are a lottery I agree but you would like your keeper to make...

Re: Norwich 2nd leg pre match chat

Mes has no record against pens so you should rightly be concerned. BTW at the other end we are as good as any So if he has no record - you are just assuming he is a concern. Whereas there is distinct evidence of players not converting on previous occasions. Penalties are a lottery - it might help i...

Makes me laugh that someone is worried about Mes if we go to pens - the worry is who is going to score - conversion is more critical. Anyone have faith in Geo to convert his if he takes one. After Piroe, Summerville and Gnonto it would be a real lottery.

I dunno why some want to have a go at him for doing what he is expected to do
He isn’t required to sit like Gruev and does get forward, he does great until he reaches the opposition box and then appears to have a crisis of confidence.

Re: Norwich Away - Post Match Thread

The way we have been playing the priority for today was a clean sheet to steady the ship, you could see the confidence coming back to the team in the second half - drab it may have been but from our perspective It was necessary- bet Wagner will be more than happy with penalties on Thursday given hi...

Re: Norwich Away - Post Match Thread

I agree, he was the only player attempting probing passes on the edge of the box second half. He also played a sweet diagonal for Byram/Anthony at one point. I’m always worried about how clean his kit stays though, Piroe too. On to Thursday, the result was all that mattered today, and for all the t...

Re: Norwich Away - Post Match Thread

I honestly hoped Rutter would offer more today. He was the worse player on the pitch, no lack of effort but hardly anything is coming off. That pass to (…cannot recall, but the runner had three defenders around him) when Rutter had acres of space to run into was just symptomatic of a player with zer...

Re: Leeds vs Norwich Player Ratings

I didn’t have anyone near a seven and only 4 players who breached 6.

RUtter, Gruev and Mes did not get more than 5.

Re: Norwich City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Right time to take 15 mins writing a long post and have a fanny fit if the thread is closed before I post.
Just being ironic - As there is sod all to write about. Very turgid affair. Surprised Norwich just effectively retreated and lost any ambition to win the game.

Re: Norwich City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Norwich have to take more risks this half - hopefully we can exploit that on the break.

How Firpo copes with Rowe will be important. Rowe has a lot of pace.

Fair enough.

Bit late for experiments but is what it is.

Hopefully Gray given more freedom, Georgie as a striker though not so sure.
I think Geo has a worldie in him. Would be handy if he produces today.

Re: Norwich City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Looks like a fluid line up with the front four, I expect there will be a lot of positional changes during the game to try and unsettle the opposition.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2024

That competition is a huge farce. For a start Australia is now an entrant. It won’t be long before the US etc get involved.
We could have Cold Play as our entrant and still come last - on that basis you can understand why any established music act would avoid it like the plague.

Clean sheet would be nice
Whilst I agree, a couple of goals to boot would be just the tonic.
