Picking the one guy that has actively prevented goals whilst missing essentially open goals in the past 2 or 3 games probably isn't a strong case  

Welp

Feeling oddly optimistic today! 3-1 win and the talk suddenly turns back to play offs

[Chelmofox]

Seems this is more a game of which fans shit the bed first.

[oxtonfox]

I want to go and watch celebrity knitting. It’s got to be more exciting than following us with our disjointed snail like and predictable build up play. 1-0 Norwich, like many others have said. Both managers survive the International break.

I'm being deadly serious here. What would be wrong with playing Okoli up front?

To be fair he has the same amount of goals as Daka and carranza and they still get to have a go every week

He’ll look like man who’s never played there.

He doesn’t understand the angles and movement required.

He has no signs of being a quality finisher.

He’ll be caught offside all game.

He’ll have no understanding with the wingers or no.10.

 

Which in summary makes him on a par with Daka and Coranza, so GERRIMIN !

[Noahfence]

I know some Norwich fans due to living that way and they’re in an absolute mess. The fans tried to block the higher ups from leaving the stadium a few games ago. 
 

Theres potential for this to turn extremely toxic if we do somehow find ourselves winning. Score early and their fans will turn. Does sound rather familiar haha. 
 

I watched a bit of their last game and they were so open. Wednesday were cutting through them without really having to try. 
 

 

[Gazza M]

Same commitment as Boro at least and hopefully that will carry us through for 3 points. 2-1 us.

If they go 1 down the place will be toxic, they seem much more frustrated with the club, players owners etc than we are.

 

However I hold out no hope we can score and they nick this 1 nil.

I hope mavididi starts, he seems like one of the few that regularly gets into goal scoring positions (although at the minute he keeps missing!). 

I would drop vestagard, as I know he has his probing passes that managers seem to like, however we look inept in attack so it is seemingly not working. I would start okoli and Nelson, as they at least have the potential to develop further. 

Hugely valid point here. You could live with the defensive frailties if the Vestergaard inclusion was working from an attacking perspective. But it clearly isn’t and we need a complete overhaul. As solid a defence as we can muster and use the strengths our attacking players do have. 
 

The justification for not using counter attacking as an option is that teams sit back and let us have the ball but it seems to be less as teams know we are useless and dominate us.

Anyone know if any away pubs in Norwich?

Aluko winner today

[Richmondfox]

I’m sure Marti will want more of the famous Ayew hold up play.  He must be doing something right in his eyes if he plays him after watching him purposely stop any form of attack.

 

Senior pro and star player.  Just the man we need for Marti’s slow build up and pass back until the wingers are back on the half way line marked. 

Get the season over with, hopefully able to cling onto a place in this league.  I can’t wait to see the back of another useless manager with zero ideas along with the donkeys. Ayew, Faes, Soumare, VK and Daka. But Marti is a “nice guy”, just like Cooper was “pragmatic”.
 

Enzo managed to turn KDH into a driving force and Ndidi into an assist machine, winks and Ricardo into neat passing footballers and Mav and Fatawu into players who would run with the ball into space. Using their skills and drilling tasks into them. 
 

We just get different formations and players moved around to pass backwards and not run into space. 

 

How hard can it be to get Ayew to pass the ball to player on his own team or Soumare to track a runner in midfield and not jog away from them, or even look before he passes would be a start.

Don’t do it to yourself…..

[Pliskin]

1-0 Norwich. 
 

Thomas will make a mistake and pass the ball to Sargent who will score. 
 

We will then proceed to pass the ball between our defenders for the rest of the game and ultimately lose, probably not having a shot on target or creating any meaningful chances.

Rather play Faes, im not sure okoli can play football

[The Guvnor]

We have to utilise our pace so imo has to be Stephy and Fats on the wing.

Winks as the midfield general and Jannik can ping some great long balls down the channels just to mix it up.

 

[CornwallFox]

This is exactly the game for Sergeant to bang in a brace.

Who knows. 

Hope we might win this one.

[adejo92]

Here's for hoping Mavididi never gets a sniff of first team football again.

[RedSoxUK]

Hope the Ginettas go rods and clap the lads off 3-0 down and turn to each other and say 'we are where we are.'

two years back I remember a game where he didn't square it to vardy and put the ball right past the keep - we have not seen that version of mavididi for two  years since.

Genuinely think Vesty would be our best striker, but we need his passing from the back

If i remember rightly, he went really sh1t under Enzo too.

 

Took him to get dropped to pick up some form.

 

Don't even see potential in him anymore, just looks completely broken.
