Us Norwich City supporters are well known for our ability to give credit to the opposition where such credit is ostensibly due and that certainly applied to Vincent Kompany’s Burnley outfit on Saturday.
They are a bit of an anomaly in the Championship this season in that they are head and shoulders above every other team in the league, and I would include Sheffield United in that as the Blades have failed to impress me in the way the Clarets have.
For all Kompany’s mind games about injuries and illness raging through the camp before this match, he still managed to field as strong a matchday XVIII as Carrow Road has seen this season and I suspect will see for quite a while.
Even the happiest of clappers should surely give Burnley full credit for a streetwise and skillful performance like that, but we did our fair share in the jolly old aiding-and-abetting department and that’s for sure.
It fell to Dimi Giannoulis to make the excuses at full time and he was very diplomatic on the subject of yet another distribution howler from Tim Krul, which I rate as the keeper’s worst of the season against some pretty strong self-generated competition.
“Everyone can make mistakes,” the Greek international said. “We are all together and we try to let him [Krul] know that it’s all right. We have to keep going. The new manager has only been here for a few weeks so we need some time but if you have seen the games in the last three weeks then we have been good enough. When you play against Burnley it is not easy.
“They are a good team who press high so it’s not as easy against them. To be honest, we were not in a good shape today, especially in the first 20 to 30 minutes.
“We have really good characters in the dressing room and this is important because, otherwise, we wouldn’t be here playing good football after so many losses (earlier in the season). That is a good thing for all of us.”
I guess we might file Dimi’s comments under well he would say that, wouldn’t he? but there’s an element of truth in there somewhere.
Us supporters were surely not expecting to score four every week, were we? No, I didn’t think so.
A group with such a capacity for making individual errors is not going to eradicate that trait overnight any more than a team as clinical as Burnley will fail to punish them. They seem to press almost all over the pitch, which our centre-backs, and particularly Krul, always find hard to deal with when trying to play out.
Kompany knew that and exploited it to the hilt.
Krul has been a great servant to us and is understandably popular both in the dressing room and with supporters but I really think his time here is up.
It isn’t just the dodgy distribution. With set pieces and corners he has turned into Dracula mode, meaning he is paralytically scared of crosses. This is a relatively new phenomenon that has slowly crept up on him over the past 12 months or so. We need the return of a fit Gunny Jnr, and that right quick.
Marking at corners? Oh please don’t get me started on that topic. It is one area that has never even shown any tiny sparks of improvement and quite why so much aerial responsibility continues to be heaped on Max Aarons is beyond me. He just ain’t tall enough!
It would be easy to cherry-pick loads more gripes from Saturday but these are early days for David Wagner and his inherited squad. Personally, I am looking to next season to see how far we can progress – we do not have the cojones to prosper in the playoffs and for the first time in all these years of supporting NCFC I don’t particularly want to see us promoted.
An impeccable set of results this month against teams mostly below us in the table might change my mind but I doubt it. We would be annihilated almost every weekend by the Brightons, Brentfords and Fulhams of the Premier League [all three of whom have enjoyed excellent seasons alongside the big boys so fair play to them], let alone the money-merchants at the top.
Don Harold makes an outstanding observation in his thoughts from the Barclay:
“Well, at least we know where we stand. We’re miles behind Burnley but can do well against lesser teams. We have to hope there’s enough of the latter to keep us in playoff contention, but as we’re so far behind in quality I wonder what the point would be.
“Everyone will have seen Tim’s assist for their first goal and the non-defending for the others. A startling statistic told to me at halftime and repeated on the highlights programme, is that we have given away twice as many goals from unforced errors as any other team in the league. I don’t know where we would be if this wasn’t the case, but it must be addressed.
“It’ll be interesting to see where we are after the remaining games in a busy February. A playoff push or the acceptance of mid-table mediocrity?”
There will be more setbacks like this before the season is out, so this meisterwerk is most appropriate. One of my proudest “I Was There” moments.
What else is there to say Martin?
The problems at the club seem to run so deep.
What is SO frustrating, having been given so much leeway, has to be the basic recruiting. We are now continually being told that since brexit it’s so much more difficult to recruit from Europe, so we look to spend millions in South America……then I look at Burnley (who are on a totally different level to NCFC at the moment) and wonder where do they recruit from? Why do these post-Brexit rules not seem to apply to them?? (or is it that the mountains in Belgium are not as high as those in South America?).
Just to look at what Brentford; Brighton; Fulham and now Burnley are doing compared to us is little short of total embarrassment.
Oh; and don’t get me started on our set-piece coach…..one of the great myths of our time I fear!!
O T B C
Hi John
Yes recruitment has been dreadful and what annoys me the most is our total inability to pick a £10million man or two wfo might cut it in the PL.
This is exactly what Brentford and Brighton have managed so successfully – getting two or three good ‘uns in for the right positions and having a little bit of change left from £30million.
We spend the same amount and end up with ill-fitting rubbish and injury-stricken gambles that never work out. But with us, it ends up as a debt which has wiped out any reasonable spend for every window to come in the foreseeable future.
Wagner has a tough job but he walked into it with eyes wide open and a lot rests on his shoulders.
I just hope the shares allocation meeting a week today goes the way most folks think it will – personally I remain unconvinced about Delia surrendering a bit of power.
Cheers
Maybe our illustrious Set Piece coach is lining up a Christina Aguilera concert at Carrow Rd backed up by Jana Kramer singing I got the boy
I sincerely hope he isn’t!
Yep! Many people on here have been calling Krul a disaster in waiting for long enough. It’s ok to say you can’t blame him for the defeat but goals change games particularly when you are under the cosh and are successfully keeping the opposition at bay.
The lift that gave Burnley and the kick in the gut to our defence surely had a major affect.
The goalkeeper has such an impact on games you cannot risk a flawed occupant in that position.
Wagner’s one mistake I think.
Hi Cyprus
You only had to see John Ruddy playing for Birmingham against Swansea to realise the truth of that!
Hugo Lloris is by no means perfect but I thought his performance against Citeh yesterday was one of the best *sweeper-keeper* displays I’ve seen in a long while.
Krul’s not up to it any more, if he ever truly was.
Cheers
Hi Martin
It’s a bright sunny and very frosty day here in Blackpool just the sort of day for digesting an entertaining game and a weekend of strange results.
Man C still have won or scored a goal at the New Spurs Stadium
Everton turned over the Arse-nal
Man U with 10men beat C-P
Wolves beat a near terminal Loserpool
That the Premiership surprise results
The Championship had just as many but the top six seem to be settling down
Burnley
Sheff U with a Draw at local rivals Rotherham
Middlesbrough sent Blackpool packing back home
Luton beat Alex Neil’s Stoke City
Watford got a Draw at Reading
Millwall Drew at home to Sunderland
Those are setting the pace for the playoff and Blackburn will sure beat an ailing Sinani and his new Wigan team tonight ?
Norwich still have hopes forlorn maybe but still hopes and as supporters those are what we live off.
Wagner has a conundrum stick with Krul after a terrible showing, in which Wagner says it was his fault for that pass or hope Gunny Jr is fit to step in to the void.
If he makes a keeper change he’s either a big man GUNGA DIN by admitting he was wrong or showing by sticking with Krul he backs him no matter what, that decision maybe harder to make if Gunny isn’t fit then does he throw McGovern into the Bristol Cauldron.
I was surprised that Wagner didn’t make changes sooner against Burnley we looked so much stronger when Nunez came on and the Tzolis for Hernandez looked to work, the two week break didn’t work in our favor one bit.
I think we’re had some poor Ref’s this season but Saturday’s was in a different league every decision he made was in Burnley’s favor and Brownhill how he was still on after a Yellow then to following fouls beats the he’ll out of me and the Dowell booking was down to Brownhill getting in the Ref’s ear, someone commented that he had a seat booked on the Burnley players coach for a lift home and how he completely missed a city corner and a possible hand ball beggars belief.
Onwards and upwards let’s hope for more luck at Ashton Gate.
Hi Alex
It did look a bit like Keith Stroud travelled down on the Burnley team coach so it’s only logical that he went home on it too!
I don’t see McGovern getting a game any time soon, although you never know of course.
The first match against Brizzle was a right old ding-dong that we nearly threw away.
I hope we’ve moved on from there.
Cheers
Need to get facts right about set pieces.
Check out the Athletic. article .
Until Saturday Norwich had conceded one previously from a corner and had the best record in the championship at conceding (5) from set pieces.
That does not in anyway excuse Saturday.
Hi Richard
Fair comment in terms of goals conceded from corners/set pieces but that has nothing to do with the sickly feeling I experience every time the ball is pumped into our box from one of these situations.
The fact that we have conceded so few goals under these circumstances seems to have more than a little bit of good fortune attached to it, to these eyes anyway.
Cheers
Great piece Martin.
I have got to agree with you on the Krul versus Crosses debate.
Is it just me or is he lacking confidence at the moment. He is a big unit and he should be dealing with them as I am sure he has done in the past.
Again Max Aarons getting the blame !!! it was like when Jamal Lewis marked Virgil Van Dyk at a corner all those years ago, dear old Virgil didn’t even need to jump to score.
Even had Max moved forward a bit I very much doubt it would have made any difference. As for Burnley’s third, Sarge let his man go.
It is all a steep learning curve for Wagner. I was worried Burnley would “mark” King Kenny which they did but Hanley and Omobamidele as well.
It really unsettled us, obviously Vincent Kompany had done his home work knowing how uncomfortable we look playing out from the back..
I remain convinced that until we sign a proper quality holding midfielder we really cannot make judgements on our centre halves. I remain convinced if they have the right man in front of them they are good enough for this level.
EPL ? we will have to see on that one.
The first Championship win four years ago was was gained with the Tett-Bull screening partnership and the second was with Olly Skipp. Has anyone been anywhere near that this season, or last season for that matter ?
I think Kenny can do a job there against the lesser lights in this division but too me the proof that he can’t week in week out is in our results against the top teams.
Note to the recruitment team, how come Aaron Ramsey had an “injury”*** clause in his agreement and Isaac Hayden didn’t.
*** The “injury” being MY Man Smith has been sacked and I want outta here.
Plus Middlesborough look better ?
Totally agree re not judging the centre halves when we don’t have a Skipp or Tettey type in midfield. Why did Gibbs not make the squad? Personally, I would have a fit Sorensen in the team but I guess he is not quite ‘in his rhythm’ yet.
Hi Sue
Yes, there really should be room for Sorensen somewhere!
Cheers
Hi Tim
*The first Championship win four years ago was was gained with the Tett-Bull screening partnership and the second was with Olly Skipp. Has anyone been anywhere near that this season, or last season for that matter ?*
Spot on.
The big gaffe for me was failing to replace Skippy AND Buendia at the same time. Having no Tetts to bail us out exacerbated this situation.
Skippy is still a rarely-seen squad player at Tottenham. It’s probably just wishful thinking but I do wonder if the combined €25 we apparently spent on Rashica and Tzolis might not have prised him from N17 on a permanent basis. He’s not one of North London’s top earners either.
It was almost impossible to get a like-for-like replacement for Emi, but even if we couldn’t have got the man himself a Skipp-a-like should have been possible.
Move on a season and Liam Gibbs appears from nowhere having had a good pre-season for Dean Smith and a young academy lad is suddenly a pivotal player as £10million+ remains in the bank/is diverted elsewhere.
Self [fan] funding sucks.
Cheers
Marty, Dracula, there‘s no doubt that Krul played a howler, perhaps a touch of Werwolf as well, definitely a horror story on Saturday. It just shows how vitally important the keeper is to the whole team, having said that Burnley were streets ahead of us and the best we could have managed without the mistakes would have been a draw. Totally agree with everything you say, we must get a beer crate for Aaron to stand on for corners and promotion this season would be a nightmare, back to the horror theme.
Hi Cutty
I like the idea of Max and the beer crate – it really does appear that he might benefit from the use of one much of the time.
As you say a dodgy keeper erodes confidence among the back four – there has to be trust and when that element goes awol you are in the poop.
Cheers
Hi Martin agree krul time is up along side hanley McLean as a defender arrons same ol players keep making these unforced errors and there still in the team it’s cost us many points last two season I’m sick to death of it to be honest it’s pathetic any team in this league can roll us over .
Sorry Kev have to disagree with you on Hanley great interception on Saturday and a close call at stopping the first goal, like many CB he isn’t world class if he was he wouldn’t be at city but he is a leader and gives 100% in every game.
He looked better and preformed better when Gunny was in goal sadly Krul is the weakest link and makes the others nervous his distribution has always been a part of his game even at Newcastle but his penalty saves and general shot stopping was top class that has dropped off and his aversion to go for crosses in recent years baffles most people and when was the last time he tried to punch a ball out ?.
Get Gunny or Barden in goal
Hanley trys his best but its time for new blood we hung onto Russell and bassong to long it cost us many points
Bassong was just about the only player we’ve ever signed with an injury that we’ve kind of got away with!
Hanley is what he is and always will be. Adequate but no more than that for me.
Hi Kev
We could always get away with it in the Championship under Farke but got ripped apart in the PL, sometimes by sides who were less than brilliant themselves.
As good as Bali Mumba obviously is, he’ll be no better than Max when it comes to defending a corner!
Cheers
Norwich already made a bad individual mistake before Kruls mistake, those just have happened way too often. Kruls mistake seemed strange, you could also wonder was it purposed? After the 0-1 goal Teemu Pukki gave Norwich once again a very good chance to make 1-1. I just cant get it, that if you have to put a ball in the net and shoot directly your players are just not capable of doing it. Brilliant pass and result almost every time, nothing. Its really frustrating! If there would have been var, Norwich would have been awarded a penalty. So normally Teemu would have got 1+1 for this game. Goals change the game, even Burnley was clearly better and physically destroyed your chances to create much anything. Still its possible to get points in that kind of games, but its impossible if players cant even from close range direct their shots when you happen to get a scoring chance.
Norwich level under Wagner is still unknown. 2 clear wins and 1 clear loss does not offer much other than Norwich games have not been tight.
Hi 1×2
No way did Krul do that on purpose. Mind you I don’t know where his mind wanders to sometimes, a free claret and light blue shirt must have been in his line of vision.
Yes VAR would have given us a penalty but we would still have lost the game.
I got to see RCD Mallorca v Real Madrid yesterday and before the game RCD Sporting Director Pablo Ortells was saying that many La Liga clubs would like to see the powers of VAR enhanced so there was less involvement of a human referee!
That was a particularly niggly match as Vinicius Jnr has been very disrespectful to the Mallorquini in the recent past and there is much history there.
Vamos los Diablos Rojos!
As you say, under Wagner the future is unwritten.
Kiitos
Martin, I have a question about last weekends games. Case Casemiro, how do you see it? I would have been giving a yellow to him. A tv pundit here said that Anthony deserved to get that tackle after he was disrespectful and that Casemiro should get a long period suspension. In both cases I see it completely opposite, if someone has skills and they fool you it does not give you any right to start hurting them.
Mistake what Krul made looked way too low level mistake. Mistakes like that have started police investigations here. After that I would have difficulty trusting such a goalkeeper, it would take at least some games. Im surprised if he starts your next game.
So, your spanish league club is Mallorca. Do you have clubs outside England and Spain which you support?
The Casemiro incident I have only seen once but on that basis I agree with you – it is yellow for me too.
I did not like the way Jack Grealish deliberately got Romero sent off – he ran into where he knew the trailing leg would be.
Clever, skillful and not illegal but downright nasty!
I lived on Mallorca on and off for a while 2005-15 so went to the Son Moix about 15-20 times and bought a couple of tops which I’ve still got so I can definitely say I support them.
Spurs are my second team to Norwich and I lived and worked in London until 1988 when I moved to Norfolk for good. Most of my football was seen at White Hart Lane when I was younger – I must have been there well over 150 times.
In Scotland I follow Celtic, but do not actively support them.
Next time you post tell us who you support if you remember 🙂
Remember, haha that was a good one!
Okay, I admit. Arsenal is the one from childhood and yes if someone asks I say Arsenal. This season has of course also raised my interest. You just dont change your football club. Like many other finns, I have difficulties to know why? If Arsenal wins the league this season, I have decided to buy some Arsenal stuff again. I do have an Arsenal key ring.
Outside that I cant see any other clubs to mention. Finnish clubs are impossible, because I have played here and here we dont have that kind of football culture, a few people go to watch it. I do get free tickets to games sometimes, but I try to give those to someone else if I find someone who is interested hah! Its been like that here for as long as I remember.
I meant if you remembered to post, not who you support 🙂
In the UK most of us have at least one Arsenal supporting mate and sometimes a few more.
They are a huge club with a great history and, sometimes grudgingly, respected by all.
I think if you are going to choose an English Club you have chosen very well, even though I support Spurs – as you will know, the North London rivalry is intense.
Stand by me will be what TK is saying to DW this week. Our first 2 games were supersonic but some might say that little by little Wagner’s masterplan will have us up in the sky. We’ve searched for players all around the world and asked our board to put yer money where yer mouth is. Saturday’s result has us going nowhere, we are half a world away from Burnley…. D’you know what I mean?
On a serious note. I feel we lack accomplished central midfielders who can protect the defence when the opposition are attacking, and can initiate play when we attack. Take The Mayor for example, awful when put under pressure early in the game. Moments like that set the tone of a game.
I think the Mayor did perfectly okay against Cov so it has to be that he can only cut it against a certain level of oppo and is often found wanting against those who are above average.
Good point about certain moments setting the tone of a game.
Hi Simon
Trouble is we have too many boneheads on the board!
Cheers
When you can only beat the teams below you and can’t beat any of the teams above, you’re probably exactly where you deserve to be.
Martin, you mention Wagner and his inherited squad. I would better describe it as Webber’s chosen squad. Afterall, all but Max Aarons (our most valuable player?) he selected. I don’t feel the ‘inherited squad’ holds much weight when the Sporting Director is selecting the manager and the players.
Hi Dave
Yes that’s a good way of looking at it although I think the term *inherited* is of equal value here.
Do I expect Wagner to be able to pick and choose his own recruits in the summer?
Unfortunately we both know the answer to that one.
Cheers
Hi Martin,
I’d concur with you regarding Tim Krul. So far I’d say he’s Wagner’s only poor decision.
I don’t know how much the Burnley team cost but I’m sure it’s a great deal less than ours.
Saturday to me demonstrated that we’ve had two poor summer transfer windows which have produced little on the field and placed us heavily in debt.
I hope the imminent share issue results in a new majority share holder and if this happens they maintain the services of David Wagner.
The one bright spot from Saturday’s game was the fact the team looked a lot fitter than they have over the past year and I’m sure Wager will develop a team with a system and purpose which has sadly been missing under Deano!
Hi John
The Wager typo suggests something to me. I’m not certain exactly what right now but it sure suggests something 🙂
I’ve said a couple of times before that I am by no means convinced that we will wake up on St Valentine’s Day happy and secure in the knowledge that Queen Delia’s power has somewhat diminished.
That remains in the *believe it when you see it* category for me.
Cheers
Fantastic to see a crowd on their feet singing and cheering in celebration of a brilliant performance. Unfortunately, it was Knebworth in 1996 rather than Carrow Road in 2023-I just hope it’s not more than a quarter of a century until we see such scenes again at NR1.
Hi Don
It really was one of those days you look back to with great fondness.
And so hard to believe it was so long ago.
Cheers
12:30 Saturday, coincides with my weekend golf habit, so I only get to the game late in the second half. However whilst digging a hole in a greenside bunker I was doubting my choice.
The football had to be better than this self inflicted agony.
I saw the highlights , if you can call them that. Christmas was 6 weeks ago, We gave up 3 of the softest goals I’ve seen for a while, Krull , it’s already been said .
The team has to stand tall now and take the flak for unforced errors. I have to accept that I mess up playing a shot, but give me strength, I don’t want to see that suicide defending again.
Hi Bernie
Don H’s stat made me timbers shiver – I’d never heard anything like that before.
It kind of emphasises why I’m not expecting promotion this season but dreading the aftermath if we do scrape through!
Cheers
Bernie, did you bump into Smudger on the way round?
Even he couldn’t swerve actual matchdays Cutty.
Oh, hang on…
sorry Mr P late reply, I highlighted a few weeks ago the difference between Burnley and us, they did not rush in a sign Kompany right away. but they gave him from June last year and then backed him to hilt. We carried on with Smudger after failing to keep us up in the Premiership, the board allowed his sorry style to continue. even when the ideal opportunity came and went.
Mean while Burnley grew from strength to strength strengthening the squad, Anderlecht now publically regret not fighting to keep Kompany there.
Is it any wonder we keep seeing the same mistakes now as what we saw under Farke. this is now 3 managers had this squad, and the same mistakes are for all to see. Some of the players are simply not cut out to play any passing game from the back. They are sub standard when compared what is really needed to make a concerted effort. But this is Norwich and that’s why they are here, in the squad. Low ambitions, Low standard transfers How many of the defensive parts of the squad would make it into a squad of any other of those teams above us, only the lower-grade teams in the league team and then into L1
We as fans are guilty of over hyping some of these guys, there is a reason why Aarons is still in yellow., with all the big names supposed to be targeting him. He is good but is he good enough?
Sargent started of so well and has tailed off, Pukki looked to capturing some old form, but no sign of that on Sat, why because a team came knowing full well how to play us, pile on the pressure the defence will help them, the Along Come moment. reared it’s head once more.
An overhaul is needed during the summer months get darn players who are more akin to playing this style, get a shot of the way transfers are done, yes kiss goodbye to Webber his judgement on players is at best more miss than hit.
Hell promotion are you the fans ready for another abysmal season of defeat after defeat. no I thought so, so in truth it would be another freaking disaster
Hi Lad
Some pundits predicted that Burnley would struggle and might even go down once more this season. What little they know, hey?
I think Jose gave the key to Max when he was hinted that he was simply too short for the very top of the modern game. Simplistic sure, but still probably true.
For the first time ever I see no point in us getting promoted this time around, but things look so bad on the financial front that there will be precious little available for recruitment if we stay in the Championship.
Webber and others have created a right old mugger’s buddle this time around, especially as we have nobody worth very much to sell.
Which will doubtless confuse Delia who is used to shouting down a mineshaft expecting a Test-ready fast bowler to emerge.
Cheers
Hi Martin, I’m a bit late to the party again (like a City defender) with my comments and I find myself yet again in tune with yourself and many of your readers and in particular Cyprus who nailed it for me.
You mentioned the lack of cojones which is rather similar to a comment from Gary on Sunday which described them as lily livered. That sadly appears to be exactly what this group are, flat track bullies against some lesser teams but as soon as they have a setback which on Saturday started off with McLean being bailed out by Hanley and then Krul gifting that goal then they just melt away.
I entirely agree that Wagner has made probably his only error so far in picking Krul ahead of Gunn and whilst we know Angus was injured on Saturday it appears that he’s given Tim a bit of an easy ride back into the number 1 spot, that to me just encourages complacency.
Oh dear Martin, I confess that I got sucked into a bit of positive thinking a week or two ago which was probably as a result of the previous misery we’ve endured and I’d almost allowed myself to put aside the other issues which clearly exist at our club. What a numpty I was, at 68 you’d think I’d know better so it’s going to have to be back to the default mode of sceptic for me.
Hi Bob
I wouldn’t mind quite so much if we had anything to be complacent about!
I’m not judging the overall picture on the field at the moment on the grounds that it is early days for Wagner, but the constant proliferation of individual errors remains fair game and gives us all quite a bit of scope for voicing our displeasure.
The major problems remain with the suits and in particular with one that talks Austin Reed but seems far more Matalan under close inspection.
I’m a whole three years younger than you and my scepticism has thusfar remained firmly engrained. I’m much happier with Wagner than Smith on every level though so my tiny ray of optimism is still hanging around as well.
Cheers
Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought, I wonder was Tim’s thought was? We can all guess his reaction **** me!
Playing out short from the back when we are against a press like Burnley’s is footy suicide.
Looking forward to Saturday 4 away goals again lads, you see.
Hi Colin
It was either *F*** me!* or *I wonder what’s for tea?*.
On reflection I think I’m with you on this one 🙂
Cheers
Excellent read and some very salient points made in the comments too. The decline of Krul is sad to witness but undeniable. He has been terrible since being reinstated and needs to be taken out of the firing line,
Hi Chris
The comments have ideed been particularly good and I’m sure we’d al agree that it’s interesting to hear the views of MFW types as one cloud of toxic dust [the departure of a male Smith] begins to slowly settle as the female Smith gets set for the shares allocation meeting proper on Monday evening.
Tomorrow David Wagner’s press conference will surely centre on the fitness of Gunny Jnr and I for one hope he has been back in training this week and Ed Wootton feels he is ready to return.
Cheers
Krul has done the same in many games, and got away with it.
This time, as many of us knew would happen , he got caught out.
His ponderous fanny around with the ball, showing no urgency in releasing it causing near heart attacks for us all. At time you simply need to put you boot through it!
Agree his time is up. Frankly in his first game the manager dropped Angus, goodness knows why.
Hi Ken
I read somewhere that Wagner said he went for Krul over Gunny through *instinct* and that alone.
Yes there are times when a keeper should just put six lace-holes through it but Krul has been forgetting to do that for quite some time now.
We’ll find out the lie of the land in a few hours!
Cheers

Hi Martin
I also saw them at Cliffs Pavillion Southend, a compact theatre venue, and they were great there too.
Nothing surely could compare to Knebworth when it comes to Oasis though!
I bet you’ve had interesting chats with some of your students this week 🙂
