VillaChris Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Good win for Rotherham tonight. Perhaps too little too late but will keep SHA and a few others sweating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unexciting season in the championship this year Expect norwich will get relegated again. Then we see next season wba and fulham come back up again. how must it feel being a norwich fan? you just couldn't even get excited about being promoted knowing that the club will just come straight back down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2021 So Derby are the team just above the drop zone. It's hard to believe the Rooney experiment hasn't worked. Who could have predicted that? What the hell goes through the minds of these owners? How much has it cost them getting Rooney in to end up there?

Between December and end of feb they only lost five games out of 19. Poor record in last 6 weeks though but need to remember how bad their start to the season was....6 points from first 13 games and most of those were under Cocu.

jacketspuds Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I’m not so sure Norwich will be as bad in the PL this time around. However, if we could nick Buendia off of them that would be disastrous for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get in a decent defender or two as they barely did anything in that area last time and were really punished with likes of Hanley and Tim Klose not good enough. Do that and the attackers showed last time in premier league they're decent enough. Pukki had about 11-12 goals by the Feb before injury restricted him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Apparently Skipp has been outstanding for them and played every game, talk that Tottenham want him back for their first team, so if that's true that's a player already that they will need to replace.

Grant Hanley still starts for them but they need a centre back badly. They are playing an Irish youngster who is highly rated but 18 so might be exposed badly in Premier League. Krul and Nyland will be one of the worst goalkeeping combinations in Premier League as well I see the mythical Sam Byram plays for them, one of them Villa players we needed to sign because they would be the next big thing.

useless Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Nyland promoted in his last two championship seasons Would be boring if Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford all came back up, but Swansea and Brentford are faltering badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipp is great, he should be in the Spurs matchday squads next season but he probably doesn't have a future there while Mourinho is still there. He's much better than Winks who inexplicably has a 100 appearances for Spurs and 10 for England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 James Garner apparently also been very good on loan at Forest from Man Utd and now they want to send him to a Premier League side, he could be someone Norwich go for as a replacement for Skipp, as I think they play similar roles in the midfield.

As for Norwich, think Gary Cahill would be a really good pick up for them but I assume given his age he dosen't really fit into what they sign but they certainly need an experienced and proven prem CB at the back.
