Emi Buendia has failed to start a game for over a month in both league and cup. The last time we saw him in the starting eleven was Bournemouth at Carrow Road on 18.01.2020. It’s no surprise that this was the date of Norwich’s last win in the league. Buendia was named Man of the […]
Joe Hinchliffe
Joe grabs a four-leaf clover, a rabbit’s foot, a horseshoe and tells us how City survive
With City cut adrift at the foot of the Premier League table, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to remain optimistic about survival. So, with that in mind, I thought I would have a look into City’s chances of doing just that. It is, of course, far from impossible. With 16 games left to play, there are […]
THE FINAL WORD: A tough week and the chips are down but there’s a chink of light
Last week I said ‘what a difference a week can make’ in a positive light. This week I could say the same, but with very different connotations. City’s 2-1 home loss to Sheffield United feels like a line in the sand for a large proportion of fans, with many now seemingly waiting for relegation to […]
FINAL WORD: More pressure on Saints but one the Canaries will not want to lose
What a difference a week can make. For the first time this season City have taken points from consecutive games – a deserved three points at Goodison and a draw at home to Arsenal, a game in which they probably deserved all three points. With a change of schedule this week, the games are coming […]
FINAL WORD: All hail the goalscoring Dereham Deco and a saluting ‘Sir Bean’
Premier League points have been hard to come by so far for City and if the last couple of months have taught us anything, it’s that each and every precious Premier League point must be cherished. The mood in the Norwich camp was certainly buoyed by Saturday’s 2-0 win at Goodison, with the players deservedly […]
FINAL WORD: Championship vs Premier League – should it even be a debate?
The stage was set, Friday night under the lights at Carrow Road, the perfect setting to spark a Norwich revival, but it was less fireworks and more light work – for Watford anyway – with City falling to another routine 2-0 defeat. Prior to kick-off, the Hornets were rock bottom, having scored just six goals […]
Four ‘routine’ 2-0 away defeats for City, but the Hornets offer hope
City’s seemingly obligatory 2-0 loss away from home, this time at the hands of Graham Potter’s Brighton, made it four 2-0 defeats on the road for Daniel Farke’s men. It’s all too routine. In fact, the Canaries were still in with a chance of securing a result until substitute Leandro Trossard nipped ahead of Ben Godfrey […]
FINAL WORD: Tim and Onel offer up some silver linings for our stuttering Canaries
Carrow Road witnessed a second consecutive home defeat at the weekend as the City fell to that disheartening 3-1 defeat to Manchester United. When a seemingly lacklustre United rocked up at Carrow Road it felt as though Norwich could take points from the game. The one concern with United, even in their current form, is […]
FINAL WORD: Keeping it tight in those early stages so key to City’s chances of success
After a couple of sobering results on the road and that excruciating home defeat to Villa, City emerged from that poor run with a hard-earned point away from home and a clean sheet to boot, drawing 0-0 with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The injury crisis seems to be subsiding too – Alex Tettey, Tom […]
