There rely should be no excuses for them not getting promoted when you have players like rashida and pukki He has nowhere near the caliber of players he had at his disposal here.

As of right now, that Norwich team have easily enough quality to be promoted, Rashica, Sargent, Pukki, Cantwell, Aarons, Krul, Hayden, Sara, Idah etc, are all top quality Championship players. There are no excuses imo with regard to Norwich's squad, if they dont get promoted with the quality they have (for Champ level), its a failure.

MaVilla Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Norwich left back (Giannoulis) being stretchered off, look like a break of some sort (ankle?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I watched the last game and they battered the opposition, should have been four or five up by half-time, then in the second half hit the underside of the post and could have probably should have had a couple of penalties they were very unlucky. And looking at the stats for today's game it looks a similar story, dominating possession, and have had eight shots on target compared to Hull's one shot on target. Not sure if the results are telling the whole story, I don't think Norwich will panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Played 3, lost 2 and drawn 1, I don't think the fanbase ever took to Dean. He must be in trouble there, they have huddersfield, millwall and sunderland next all of whom are quite good at the physical and scrapping asepcts of the game.

Their last two promotions they have walked the league with "dainty ball players". He has actually clearly been trying to address their lack of physicality by getting Isaac Hayden in.

And he will do well, to do so, Hayden should be good for them......my point is, all that takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did probably as bad as farke did in pl and has started the season absymally. He also let a 2 goal lead at home slip to a poor weakened blose team in the cup. was a weakened Norwich team too, Pukki was on the bench for the entire game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
