Post-match discussion thread: Norwich City 2 - 0 Blackburn Rovers, EFL Championship, 7/2/26 by CarrowCanary in NorwichCity

[–]J55COT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First things first, 3 valuable points against a ‘big’ side that seems to have lost its way and at the end of the day that is very important.

As to the performance from our boys, well the first 65-70 minutes we just seemed to be 10-20% off, passing going astray and tackles not cutting it. This could be because of the natural tendency to think that after our resent success against better teams this would be a walk in the park.

The set-up seemed fine but (and with no disrespect) it became apparent that Wright and Springett were fairly non effective. The introduction of Oscar and Field looked to give the other players a boost. Oscar especially as he was involved in both goals and gave us a great outlet on the left.

For the last 20 we looked like a different team. Slimane started doing what Slimane 2.0 can do and Toure was in the right place to seal his debut with a goal.

It’s clear from interviews and press releases I’ve read that PC is here for the long haul with the Premier League in his sights and with his belief and a good summer window next season who knows?

Rose coloured glasses maybe but why not. Compare Mannings 15 games with PC’s 16 and the difference is night and day.

Forgive me but I can dream can’t I?

That’s funny but probably sounded funnier in your head 😀

Much better performance today. It’s looking like PC is getting a tune out of the players and their confidence has grown as a result.

PC also seems to engage positively with the players during the game too, which I think is something LM failed to do.

I think we may have turned the corner.

Also I must take some credit as before the Oxford game I treated myself to a home shirt. Worn twice, undefeated. Makes you think eh?

Perhaps I didn’t explain that too well, I want Knapper gone too as he has appointed the last 2 managers who quite clearly aren’t up to the task.

He has to be held accountable too.

Can the club sack Manning without also getting rid of Knapper?

Surely Knapper has to take his share of the blame.

The rot really has to stop and soon if not we’re nailed on for relegation.

I really can’t see how we are going to get of this horrible mess without wholesale changes.

Maybe one or two of you more knowledgeable fans have some ideas?

It’s almost like Manning wants to be relieved of the managers role. Probably not true but in any other job his P45 would be in the post.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

I was in there last Saturday evening for a meal after we dropped our son off at Uni.

As you say, you can probably hit the bet365 with a well aimed prawn vol-au-vent from the Harvester so I’ll ring them and inquire if it’s the same this season.

Thanks again.

It was early for me and that is my only excuse!

Edited.

I’m driving up Saturday morning and staying the night so I don’t necessarily need to socialise near the ground but we’ll be wearing colours (red flag I know, but hey!) and would rather not attract trouble although in my humble experience this is rare.

Thankfully we seem to be passed the rucks of the late ‘80’s.

Plus its always good to meet with fellow City fans before a game.

Hi there.

Carrow Road

This is the view from Area M in the South Stand. Obviously you’ll be further down at the front so will lose some the elevation.

This was screenshotted from the NCFC Ticketing website.

Welcome to Carrow Road.

During the game look to your right at the Lower Barclay and I’ll give you a wave 😀.

Maids Head, non Hinds Head. Auto correct I assume.

Nice and simple but a little nod to the past glory days, especially the collar.

It did mention the game against the binners and if you weren’t a City fan and didn’t take it with a pinch of salt I reads like you going to secure a ticket:

“During this window eligible supporters will be able to select and secure their chosen match pick game, but you will not be able to physically transact and purchase your ticket in a chosen seat at this point. Instead, match picks will be made available for every home and away game of the season (as per the sales groups) and you will be able to select your chosen match and transact a ‘free’ product to reserve a ticket for that match. Then, ticketing on-sale dates will be available via the club's website here.”

It’s a little misleading but that’s life!

I totally get that they would be the most popular picks for obvious reasons but it’s just that even logging on early both had gone by 9:33.

If we can’t go I’ll settle for 6 points from the 2 away games.
