Re: Our team for the Championship next season
A change of shape, relegation and all of those players leaving will allow us to completely rebuild and move forward. Let's hope so.. we've been devoid of positivity for far too long.. promotion while we're still receiving parachute payments will be a must. Ideally, stringing together some results b...

Re: Our team for the Championship next season
Have you not been watching us play for 2 years? you want us to retain the same 4 boring non scoring strikers? I'd agree to an extent but it doesn't matter who the forwards are if most of the time they've got their backs to goal and the ball's sailing over their heads. I think we need a complete cha...

Re: Dyche
If Smith went in there with any remit other than build for the future and give it a go at staying up then he has not failed in the slightest. Do you really think Norwich we’re counting on a sea change? Smith’s appointment was the best bit of business Norwich have done this season. He will take them...

Re: Dyche
How has he improved Norwich significantly?? I'd say Dean Smith has more about him than Farke and he'll improve the infrastructure at Norwich. Farke didn't seem to learn much from their previous PL season. Unfortunately for Norwich, Smith shares Farke's inability to organise the defence.. but they'l...

I think Norwich improved significantly when they appointed Dean Smith.. look at the foundations he laid at Brentford.. shrewd use of the transfer market, using younger players and playing attractive football.....

The problem as I see it is last season we stayed up on the back of some unusual wins away to Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton etc. This season if we're not beating teams around us then it makes games against those top half teams much more 'must win'. Wolves are in form so I'd rank tonight as a 'mustn't l...

I’ll worry about where he plays when he actually signs. Until then, it should be filed under ‘Grosicki / Lansbury’.

Re: How many points will we have after 6 games ?
Yesterday was a huge disappointment.
Brighton are one of the teams we should be taking points from and it just makes games against top ten teams so much more important.
We're fashionably slow starters so hopefully this season we get in the groove quickly and pick up some morale boosting points.
