That’s no planet.

But Paddy has said definitely a 4 so here we go.

More I look I think it’s Chrisene in for Cordoba and Diallo and Fisher WBs.

4 at the back #ncfc?

VAR with 2 match altering errors there #cheful

Let’s hope not.

PS - similar to a lot of clubs we all having a feeling what the #ncfc way of playing is but could we put it in words? Would playing that way top being successful?

Perhaps this is all a reflection of what football has become. Money driven, technocratic, where we focus on spreadsheets and deep tactical analysis rather than gifted players and entertainment.

But ultimately and crucially, if we are successful all will be forgiven and forgotten.

Of this confusion.

It will continue to be rocky with the supporters. Nunez adds to this but the main thing is the lack of success for many seasons now. The growing theme for me is that this won’t be pretty football viewed as not the Norwich way which will be a stick to beat them with.

And that change is expensive and will mean dead time as it beds in. As a result I don’t think we will find success this season, it builds to next. This will not be acceptable to a number and flies in the face of what #ncfc have said about aims for this season. Ask Thorup about the dangers ….

The view will depend on what we do.

Blame falls on Knapper from various quarters for various reasons. Ultimately if we are not successful that is what will damn him. But at this midway point my opinion on his biggest failing is no clear template. Thor up to Manning is a huge stylistic change…

Football of last season. That takes time and a turnover of players. It means that players like Nunez don’t fit as he is neither the physical presence, hard worker, organised or dependable type of player for the template.

If he is a success it will be hard to take, but anything less that that…

Having ran the full spectrum of emotions of the Nunez thing, I’m probably calm enough to comment without cringing when I look back on it.

City are clearly heading in a structured and physical direction that relies on big lads, pressing and organisation. We are moving away from the pretty…

I’m not quite 48 but otherwise this could be me.

Can I get behind a cardigan manager? #ncfc

Boo. This season just keeps getting better.

Where is Doyle? #ncfc

prediction vs reality

My first game. Love it.

I was also struck that Vance is as much as a Kremlin asset as Trump.

The more you watch that Trump and Zelensky press conference, the more it feels like being punched in the gut. For anyone to have to work with that guy is humiliating. We need to face up to a world where we need to reduce to a minimum our links with the US. Militarily, economically, diplomatically.

Thorup's impassioned defence of playing out from the back Johannes Hoff Thorup has launched an impassioned defence of Norwich City’s strategy of playing out from the back - and has refused to change even…

So much to admire in this response. Nails his colours to the mast and does not seek to hide his commitment to the style of play. www.edp24.co.uk/sport/248729...

I am quite looking forward to British politics gilt watchers explaining how weak retail sales increase the credibility of the chancellor.

Brass neck from a Brexiter.

Too much, or just about right? 🤷🏼‍♂️

A little bit of hope after a terrible week A survival guide to the next four years.

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

Sky commentary muted. May as well listen to Radio Solent for more balance.

Nice football from @canaries.co.uk back in 1991.

Here Jeremy Goss finishes off the move in style at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.

#NCFC #90s

And a touch of class for that goal. Luton look sloppy, we have not been great.
