MakemineVanilla Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I've been pretty impressesd with Norwich in the last two games and looks like they two quality goal-scorers. Having won two on the trot, Smith should cut back on the comfort-eating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I think Deano will get them promoted automatically. Where he goes from there is hard to say. Getting Norwich promoted hasn't really springboarded any other coaches to stardom... Paul Lambert maybe (lol). It will still be incredibly difficult to keep the ultimate yo-yo club in the Premier League, and if he does, it'll likely be a 17th place finish scraped in the last few games of the season. Still, I think the people saying he's failing there have spoken far too soon. The performances have been decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Happy for Deano! He has figured out Raschica is gash and has found a way to play Josh Sargent effectively. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't to say I'd be against getting rid of Gerrard, but I certainly wouldn't have Smith back. Was time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wtf is the point about his father dying doing in this list. Obscene. Anyway, back on topic, Norwich is a big chance for Smith to prove he is actually a decent coach who doesn’t need to have Grealish or be a “life long fan” to do a good job somewhere. I think he will now get some momentum going, especially with Pukki available, and I hope he does well. Also think the Stevie fanboys sitting there dishing out confused reactions on anything vaguely positive about Smith are **** weirdos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still waiting for someone from the “it was all Grealish” camp to explain why we weren’t promoted either season before, or why we weren’t running away with the league when Smith was appointed. Likewise, Grealish played nearly the entirety of our first season back, we finished 17th. He misses a third of the next season, we finished 11th. But it was all Jack, right? None of the other players or the management team are due any acknowledgment, yeah? Suggests to me that maybe, just maybe, there was credit to be given elsewhere, in addition to the credit attributed to Jack Grealish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
