Canaries Caption It

I don't really give a monkey's about the Carabao Cup but a win is a win and beating Watford would give everyone a much needed lift after a deflating home defeat to start the season.

Knapper has won praise from #NCFC fans for his smart transfer dealing & bold coaching appointments.
But the Thorup era fell apart amid much rancour.
None of the signings from last season have consistently impressed so far.
Too soon to judge new coach & signings but game 1 was poor.
Need a boost. 🧐

what was pre-season for if not to make sure the basics were in place for game 1?

100% means they give it away for free.
More than 100% means they pay you for their products.
Only a total moron believes this 1500% nonsense.

he'd clearly lost some of his pace from the 1st spell and so had to adapt his game.

The 1st Flecky #NCFC spell was absolutely iconic.
The 2nd one less so.
We need some of his fire & passion right now. 👏

Happy 60th birthday to former #NCFC striker *Robert Fleck*.
299 games & 84 goals (1987-92 & 1995-98).
Player of the Season in 1992.

also impressive they are winning at Leicester at HT.

Remarkable that a club which has gone through such turmoil over the summer and remains in a state of financial upheaval can manage to put out game updates on its Bluesky account.
Impressive eh @canaries.co.uk ?

#NCFC have kept just 3 clean sheets in the last *26* home league games (not inc. PO SF) since the 1-0 win vs Ipswich (6/4/2024).
Sorry for washing the club's dirty laundry in public..
#FunnyOldGame 😲

The last minute win vs Hull *2 years* ago was unforgettable!

'You' repeated a nonsense stat without verifying it first. That's the issue.

you don't own it. There's no copyright on it.

"Bugger" says man holding large plug.

Played better than us for sure 😩

it's a depressing statistic.

which of course would make him Captain Darling which would cause great amusement.

Think Darling is good material.

worth watching back JHT's post-match thoughts after game 1 and comparing with Manning's thought's after his game 1.

1 year today.
The Thorup era at #NCFC kicked off with opening day defeat at Oxford.
Bugger me, we're bad at opening days.
That's now just 7 wins (& 15 defeats) since 1995/96.

maybe he is in the dressing room but certainly not in the same way Grant Holt was on the pitch.

I guess it was a reward for him staying and with Kenny out, there aren't many experienced candidates.

it's bonkers to cut out that side of the game in the name of efficiency and robustness.

Yes - concerned by our lack of real creativity from midfield, especially if Nunez goes. Diallo will take a while to settle in.

I just don't see us scoring regularly without his input. The rest of our midfield are stoppers and plodders.

He's good enough for Chile but not for us!

Biceps and running hard alone will not win you football matches at this level.
Some guile and skill is also needed to unlock defences and provide chances for the strikers.
Looking at the current #NCFC MF options, where are those qualities coming from? 🤔

most of them are too busy whipping up anti-immigrant stories for Farage fans.

Surprised to see some #NCFC fans say they're not bothered by Nunez leaving as he's inconsistent and doesn't work hard enough.
Midfield has to be a mix of stoppers and creators.
With Nunez (and Marcondes) seemingly side-lined by Manning, where is the spark coming from? Didn't see it yesterday.

Trump's not interested in sharing any credit for a peace solution with the allies.
He wants the 'glory' all to himself and so is meeting with Putin alone. Problem is Putin knows how to play on the idiot's narcissism and will make demands that Ukraine will never or should accept. Trump is a stooge.
