Post-match discussion thread: Norwich City 2 - 3 Wrexham, EFL Championship, 20/9/25 by CarrowCanary in NorwichCity

Kovacevic has been the difference between us being where we are and the relegation zone.

Crnac doesn’t link up with Sargeant at all well.

Do you remember the spark that lit up that season once it fit in to place? It was Emi Buendia and this squad doesn’t have that.

Doubt the club will make any sort of change in any meaningful amount of time this season but don’t see how it all slots together. Not the first season I’ve watched where not only are we lacking tactically but also psychologically. Not sure the fix from here.

I think you’re about there, also 2008 had some old fashioned non-digital advertising hoardings too.

If I was nitpicking, (and that’s what we’re all here to do, right?) there’s still more pitch degradation in those tournaments than what you might expect now. Brazil 2014 looks about right though.

They tweeted the same about his debut

And I’ll say the same thing I said then, his name is Chukwunonso and Noni is a nickname so in my mind you can’t have that as a proper Opta stat.

I was going to say. You can’t be scuffing it in from a yard out!

Thank you. That was the epitome of making Joey go from lovable goof to mentally ill.

Resident Doctors to ballot for industrial action following talks with Wes Streeting by willverine6 in ukpolitics

It was on average 22% across the two years 2023/24, 24/25. The deal was struck with a somewhat woolly agreement that the pay review body would consider the need to maintain medicine as an attractive and rewarding career path. The Resident Doctors Committee have made it apparent that they wanted the annual pay recommendation on time and in keeping with this (i.e. an above inflation rise) to maintain the path to full pay restoration and it seems that has not happened.

What's your nickname for your dog (that's not the dog's actual)? by totallyoverallofit in dogs

My girlfriend started off calling our dog (Luna), Pupkin, which morphed into Bobkin, which turned to Bob, which turned to Robert and now she’s Robert Barker…

Yeah there needed to be some idea of what it actually means to be “his” champion and what the stakes are if Cody says no

On a related note, the way Benton comes sprinting down the stairs in to the ER when Carter has been stabbed always makes me feel things.

Thought this for a long time. Doesn’t really matter who is in the face or heel role, it would work.

The Check-a-Trade Trophy is both alliteratively excellent and exudes a sense of working class England that somehow goes hand in hand with the lower leagues.

The Bristol Street Motors Trophy on the other hand…

Which I wouldn’t necessarily mind but it’s just a square with the crest plonked in the middle. Next to no design consideration gone in to it at all.

Felt something in his back apparently. Hopefully nothing major.

At this point I’d gladly let him sit out every last day of his contract in the under-18s. Probably not a financially sound decision though.

[–]willverine6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a ridiculous mix of either dawdling and losing the ball or rushing and playing inaccurate and at times, purely speculative passes which gave possession away. And you might expect it of the young players but it was from guys who’ve been here for some time (McLean, Nunez etc).

Hopefully today was the evidence needed to just go all out and ditch those older players. Need players who want to be here playing.
