After two wins in their last nine league outings, City welcome Blackburn Rovers to Carrow Road in the hopes of resurrecting what is shaping to be another truly dismal Championship campaign. Norwich find themselves in the midst again of an awful run with performances and results mirroring those at the back end of last season […]
The Preview: Norwich City v Birmingham City
After three defeats in four in the league, City welcome Birmingham to Carrow Road in the hope of returning to the form that saw them fly out of the traps and surprise the entire division with their free-flowing, relentless style of play, which saw them collect ten points from an available 12. However, the Canaries […]
The Preview: Huddersfield v Norwich City
A return to an old stomping ground is on the cards for David Wagner and his coaching staff tomorrow as City take on Neil Warnock’s Huddersfield Town, with the Canaries looking to earn their first away win in the league to continue their positive start to the season. Wagner’s Canaries have come flying out of […]
Does City’s future look any different now that Webber has broken cover?
Well, he has spoken. It’s been dissected by everyone in the days following (including by me in this piece), with every phrase and nuance under the microscope, as we look to gain some sort of insight into the mind of Webber on all things Norwich City past, present, and future. So what have we learned? […]
Ashley Barnes – Yes or No?
Now that the 2022-23 Championship season has drawn to a close for City, the ‘summer of change’, as proposed by both David Wagner and Stuart Webber, looks to be well underway. Transfer rumours are already doing their usual churn on social media, and we have a confirmed date on Friday 19th May when Webber will […]
CITY v STOKE (A) – THE PREVIEW
With nine games to go in this ever-interesting Championship season, it feels like City are truly in must-win territory now if they are to give themselves even the slightest chance of finishing in the playoffs. David Wagner will take his men to the Bet365 Stadium to face Alex Neil’s Stoke City off the back of […]
CITY v PRESTON NE (A) – THE PREVIEW
David Wagner is set to take charge of his first league outing this weekend as Norwich City’s head coach, facing Ryan Lowe’s Preston North End. After a home defeat to Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup in his first competitive game, Wagner will be desperate to begin his league campaign in a more positive fashion, […]
CITY vs STOKE CITY (H) – THE PREVIEW
Alex Neil faces his old club for the first time this season as he brings his Stoke City side to Carrow Road. Since his appointment on the 28th August, it’s been a mixed bag for the Scotsman. In his opening 10 fixtures, the Potters have been unable to find any sort of consistency but have […]
CITY v WEST BROM (H) – THE PREVIEW
City will be aiming to make it seven consecutive Championship victories ahead of the visit of West Bromwich Albion to Carrow Road tomorrow. After a tough opening three fixtures, Dean Smith’s men have hit a much-needed positive patch of form. However, despite winning six on the bounce, scoring 13, and conceding 4, a fair portion […]
The left-back conundrum… is Frederik Andre Bjorkan the answer?
Left-back has been a difficult position for Dean Smith to negotiate this season, with Dimi Giannoulis, Sam McCallum and Jacob Sorensen suffering injuries in successive games and all being ruled out until at least the beginning of the World Cup period in November. It was an almost unbelievable chain of events that led to Smith’s […]
CITY v HUDDERSFIELD (H) – THE PREVIEW
Tomorrow night’s clash with Huddersfield Town is shaping up now to be an extremely important one for Dean Smith in his Norwich City tenure. After a disappointing away defeat to Hull there are real question marks surrounding the former Aston Villa boss and the direction of travel in which he is taking this squad. Danny […]
“All the Germans…” have left the building. But what of the intake of summer 2017?
As confirmed by the club in the last few days, fan favourite defender Christoph Zimmermann has officially concluded his five-year stay in Norfolk, departing back to his native Germany for SV Darmstadt 98 on a permanent deal. Unilateral good wishes flooded in towards the towering German defender following the announcement, with some fans seeing his […]
Could Danel Sinani yet be the one to finally fill that Emi Buendia-shaped hole?
Since the end of last season, as City concluded 2021-22 with that dismal relegation while Huddersfield went all the way to the Championship Play-Off final, the future of Danel Sinani and what role (if any) he may play in Dean Smith’s team has become a hot topic among City fans. The question being asked is […]
Bali Mumba to Plymouth? Schumacher to help him develop his defending?
Having joined the club in the summer of 2020 from Sunderland off the back of wholesome praise from the Mackems – who were gutted to see one of their bright academy prospects head to Norfolk – it’s been an interesting two years for the now 20-year-old Bali Mumba. His first full campaign in Norfolk saw […]
Defensive reinforcements are still required. Let’s not allow history to repeat itself…
Amid the cooling of City’s interest in Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer, I’ve taken a look at the defensive options Daniel Farke has at his disposal ahead of their return to the Premier League. It’s worth beginning with the Norwegian centre-half Ajer, in whom City have held a consistent interest throughout the summer, having had a […]
