Norwich’s centre-half pairing on Ben Godfrey and Ben Gibson could have a massive say in ensuring Norwich gain immediate promotion back to the top-flight. Ensuring last season’s defensive injury crisis doesn’t repeat itself was a key priority in City’s summer recruitment. The momentum gained from storming the Championship was lost instantaneously when a series of […]
From embarrassment to expectation… Webber-style
How Stuart Webber has turned Norwich City from relegated humiliation to Premier League inevitability. Changing the culture has long been a desire of Stuart Webber’s. He adopted a football club rooted in pessimism, one opposed to patient football and demanding of a Premier League platform. A title-winning campaign that nobody anticipated helps, of course. Utilising […]
So, what’s changed in Daniel Farke’s Class of 2020/21?
As City returned to competitive action against Luton Town, Norwich fans were expecting something new against Nathan Jones’ men, but did it come? A first-round EFL Cup fixture without 17 first-team players, especially off the back of a humiliating end to life in the Premier League and a condensed pre-season, was never going to be […]

Why Onel has set the tone for the type of wide player City need next season
The Cuban has a completely different skillset to his confreres, and he’s proven he’s exactly what City need going forward. In June 2018, Academy product Josh Murphy was sold to Cardiff City for an estimated £12 million. Six months prior to his departure, Onel Hernandez was recruited form Eintracht Braunschweig for a fifth of the […]
Alex Tettey: More than a water carrier – he stops it from leaking too
As the years go by, Tettey’s performances become all the more pleasing and our reliance on him grows. But to say he merely carries the water is a disservice to the role that he plays. When considering Alex Tettey’s Norwich City career, for many it ends up in the same bracket as Russell Martin’s and […]
No waves in Dereham, but what level can Todd Cantwell surf to?
Another MFW debut incoming… this time from Billy Dunthorne – one half of The Revere End podcast and one quarter of the Norwich based indie band The Revere. Billy takes a close look at one of City’s heroes of 2019/20… As Todd Cantwell is of a similar age to me, I feel compelled to tell […]
