The 2 key differences for me are Ayalya staying fit and Brereton's goals; without either, we're not half the team.

I agree with with what you say re: the owners. They're the one constant in our decline. I do believe that we can do better than Mowbray though, even with our owners.

I think it's just laziness.

So what are you saying then? That we stick with Waggott & Mowbray until Venkys leave?

We should be able to do a lot better than someone who's highlight is finishing in 11th place.

He's just stating the bleeding obvious, more like.

Lucky you. I've got another couple of years left 😞

When I get called out at work, I do my level best to prove them wrong. But you're right. The next time we're getting booted out of a cup by a lower league team, or we're 3-0 down at half time after another insipid showing, I'll keep on clapping.

Disagree. Booing is way of projecting displeasure. If a player is not up to snuff, or the manager repeatedly makes the same mistakes etc, then I have no qualms at all with booing. They are football professionals, who have intentionally placed themselves in the public spotlight.

Exactly. I can only imagine what the reaction would have been to the 'criticism' certain players had from the Riverside back in the day.

If Norwich go down though - which they likely will - Farke would be a better choice to get them back up rather than Smith.

Sorry @rigger I was meaning right back if Nyambe does one in January.

We're going to need one soon enough, and a first choice one at that!

Just a thought @tonyoz ... Van Hecke hasn't got a score for the Fulham game, probably cos he wan't on the pitch long enough. Shouldn't the fact that he got an early red - and as a result altering the game for the worse - count against him?

I agree with this; one price for every league game. As we are, people will choose games primarily based on price. The trick is to get them into the habit of coming to most games, not for them to pick an odd game here and there.

What a team Souness built there.

Who knows, Chaddy? For a club in Norwich's position though, they're crying out for someone who can keep them in the PL. Dyche would be perfect for that, even for just 2 or 3 years should they then decide they want better.

Norwich could do worse than to go for Dyche IMO and vice versa. He'd give it a good shot at keeping them up, but if they did go down, he's a good bet to bring them back up. For him, a bigger club, a bigger fan base, cash to spend and the opportunity to show he's not a one trick pony.

I'd be suprised if we could sell 8,000 match tickets for a league game in the current climate at any price.

The same effect was had at the Sheff Utd game. £14.60 all round, so people grab the best seats. Where I sit in the JWU, it was rammed in comparison to a normal game. To me, the BBE didn't seem much busier than usual.

I sincerely hope that the club suitably treated the Chile supporter to replica shirts, accomodation etc. He's done more marketing for the club in one foul swoop than the club itself has done in months.

I genuinely don't think we need to spend anywhere near 20 million to get out out of this division. 3 or 4 decent signings made by an astute manager to supplement the core of our existing side, would get us a long way.

So do I. It would make a refreshing change to see an English manager do well at the top level.

We have enough injury prone defenders - Nyambe, Ayala and now Pickering. We don't need another one, thanks all the same.

They could offer a loyalty scheme for those who buy a certain number of individual match tickets over the course of the season. Buy a ticket for any 5 individual games, get the next one free. That sort of thing.
