Great analysis again TNC. It is a transition season and can help but think back to Farkes first season where we finished 14th. There were some good moments and some poor ones too.
Absolutely. Some key players have come back but still our bench is thin. Burnleys goal from the free kick, ridiculous. Nobody was even paying attention let alone closing down the scorer. Often we lose concentration and it costs us. We really need to spend in Jan.
Need to get rid of Long, Hanley, Duffy, Gibbs, and Barnes. Probably lose Sainz, Nunez, even McLean. We are way off even being good enough for play offs. Thorup needs to make his mind up about right back, Chrisene needs to have 6 or 7 games in a row. Why doesn't Hernandez start on the right? I'm losing patience with the management team, no improvement from last season. And Burnleys 1st goal, how can any defence give away 25yards space to allow them to take a free kick? Awful atm I'm afraid.
I love Sarg but think given his injury proneness we need to part ways in summer. Same with Barnes too. They're not fit enough anymore for the league. Defo need a CDM like skipp and another striker.
Respectable opposition Jack. Fantastic start but we just couldn’t do it. A lot of fans saying on the way out that we desperately need a striker….Let’s hope we don’t get a red card upgrade from one of our yellows in the post on Tuesday. ❤OTBC! Thorpe Area
I agree on that, but I would say I don’t think Sergeant has performed well this season because of the injuries but I agree on that we do need Sergeant back we need a goalscorer
Tbh I am disappointed with the result but in the last minutes macondes could of scored Hernandez nearly scored we should if had a pen and earlier on ante had a disallowed goal which was arguably onside and from a the corner we had four chances and Burnleys goal was a screamer I’m not going to blame the refs but if it weren’t for them and Burnley being so good defensively it’s a win another reason is our intensity which caused us
Spot on 3 points were in our grasp,we threw it away switching off yet again,we can't kill teams off,sit to deep don't close the opposition down you concede and we did twice 🤬🤣😭💛💚🇬🇫
Generally I think we are getting a raw deal on decisions. I don't think Cynac was offside and to compound things got booked. Against QPR both of our disallowed goals, decisions were dubious. Today, fair one on ones going against us
I think this season is playoffs at best but realistically, we’re building for a better challenge next season. An interesting point from my perspective (sitting just next to the dugout) is that Johannes often looks frustrated by the way his players execute his tactics. He was really going for Cordoba at times in the second half because he thought that Cordoba should’ve been passing forward and quicker at times. He says the right things in his press conferences but when you actually watch him, it’s clear that the team aren’t really playing out from the back exactly how he wants them to. Clearly this will take time and player recruitment.
Watched on Sky yesterday and just watched the highlights back. We did lose control of the midfield in the 2nd half, but on actual chances, Burnley only really had one chance and scored twice. Their first was annoying but 1 in 10 of them go in. Their goalie was much busier than Angus.
Been a Norwich fan since 1970. You called it right pre season Jack. Transitional season. Shame you got all carried away with the hats after the Hull game ( and where are they now?) No this side will not be going up this season . Not quite good enough in front of goal against the divisions better sides and way too easy to score against. Doyle our only potentially quality defender ( and he's not ours) ,and Sainz too individualistic against the better defences ( and he'll be away once the prospect of promotion vanishes ). I'd LOVE to wrong.....but wisdom of ages and all that.
It was a pretty cloppy game, we gave them so many chances, the team really did well to hold that lead for an hour, we were outplayed for most of the match, maybe had 10-15 chances the whole game
Is this the part of the 'Super Train' film where they decide to crush all the carriages because the 'pipe dream' isn't gonna work. I know miracles take time but plan B was 'get as many people behind the ball as you can and stand like statues !' Plan C 'lash the ball down the middle and I'll get the fastest man in our squad to chase after it' and Plan D 'push Shane Duffy forward, continue to smash the ball down the middle but put some height on it'........Crossroads ahead !
Officials sabotaged the game in the second half. Crnac looked onside on the replay when he scored and the ref went and booked him for playing on as every player is told they should do! Then a Burnley player kicked the ball out for a corner and the ref skipped with delight and pointed dramatically for a goal kick! Near the end was shenanigans because first one of their players pushes our player over in the box and then their player clearly hooks the ball with his hand as he turns but no penalty was given! 2 seasons ago a Burnley player handled the ball in the box but no penalty was given then. Same old pattern.... Also I'll add they took the free kick for their goal before the ref even blew his whistle which resulted in them having a clear strike on goal. The ref should have stopped it and made them take it again. Certainly the ref has stopped Norwich from taking quick free kicks in previous games this season.
I was watching from upper Barclay,first half we looked in control and we should of been 2,0 up halftime,but only 1 and we sat to deep playing around at the back, massive hole in our midfield second half, McLean and Sargent are huge misses,but poor man management on and off the pitch,fisher had a good game,I wouldn't have taken ante on, Hernandez is not a striker,today is a painful 1 as it's 3 points what should of been ours 🤣😭💛💚🇬🇫
Spot on,fisher and ante crnac were doing well,then he changed it round,our midfield was to open second half,just don't like us playing around at the back,we are going nowhere this season I don't like to say,but when your team loses it does hurt 🤣😭💛💚🇬🇫
Great analysis again TNC. It is a transition season and can help but think back to Farkes first season where we finished 14th. There were some good moments and some poor ones too.
I seriously hope we improve massively on our squad depth
Absolutely. Some key players have come back but still our bench is thin. Burnleys goal from the free kick, ridiculous. Nobody was even paying attention let alone closing down the scorer. Often we lose concentration and it costs us. We really need to spend in Jan.
And that is a message not just to the players but the Hoff as well. We are more likely to mess up in the head as with our feet
Need to get rid of Long, Hanley, Duffy, Gibbs, and Barnes. Probably lose Sainz, Nunez, even McLean. We are way off even being good enough for play offs. Thorup needs to make his mind up about right back, Chrisene needs to have 6 or 7 games in a row. Why doesn't Hernandez start on the right?

Sainz needs to be held accountable for not passing when it’s clear he needs to do so.
Great review .. from a Burnley fan
I love Sarg but think given his injury proneness we need to part ways in summer. Same with Barnes too. They're not fit enough anymore for the league. Defo need a CDM like skipp and another striker.
We pronounce his name CORD-oba...

Just seeijg the highlights but Onel wsa amazing at the end, ws he not?! Always appreciate his presence! And hey should have scored!
When you said Norwich's front three consisted of Duffy, Barnes and Hernandez, I felt physically sick... 🫤
agree completely Jack, we just don't have the legs for 46 games this season, that bench is not very strong at all.
spot on assessment. Technically not as sharp as Burnley. Mid table right for us . promotion next season or one after. OTBC
Watched on Sky yesterday and just watched the highlights back. We did lose control of the midfield in the 2nd half, but on actual chances, Burnley only really had one chance and scored twice. Their first was annoying but 1 in 10 of them go in. Their goalie was much busier than Angus.
One chance 2 goals? Guinness book of record’s 😂😂

Likewise ,Norwich fan since 1970 .
Team switched off for Burnley’s first goal
It was a pretty cloppy game, we gave them so many chances, the team really did well to hold that lead for an hour, we were outplayed for most of the match, maybe had 10-15 chances the whole game
We have got to tighten up at the back OTBC
Norwich are a hard work watch. Middle table material I'm afraid 😭
I think against Sunderland it has to be Duffy and Doyle centre back
Face it ,we're just a bit meh presently. Things go in cycles.

Terrible 2nd half.
Need Sargent ya need more than that

HOFFBALL! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
glad this team is not going up 🔰

Ante crnac should of stayed on ,he needs minutes and he is still learning his trade,I've seen enough that he is going to get better and better 💛💚🇬🇫
Ante crnac should of stayed on,subs were wrong choices,🤣😭💛💚🇬🇫
Suspect subs were partly due to number of minutes played this week
Spot on,fisher and ante crnac were doing well,then he changed it round,our midfield was to open second half,just don't like us playing around at the back,we are going nowhere this season I don't like to say,but when your team loses it does hurt 🤣😭💛💚🇬🇫
Crap team , going nowhere fast lol
