Smith may be the first domino to fall but there is an even bigger problem…

30th December 2022 By Mike Taylor 10 Comments

The Dean Smith sacking is an article for others to write. I was an advocate, a big fan. Then I was patient, flirting with the benefit of doubt. Then I was sceptical. Then I was confused. Then I got bored and, eventually, agitated.   It was worth a punt, it failed. We move on. I […]

It’s now up to us to turn Carrow Road into the place we know it can be

30th December 2022 By Steve Cook 17 Comments

It’s always easier to highlight problems than offer up solutions.  Over recent weeks and countless column inches, we have collectively dissected and debated the factors that led to the departures of Smith and Shakespeare. The more difficult challenge is to identify exactly what should happen next.  This a challenge I’ve conveniently sidestepped in recent articles. […]

CITY vs READING (H) – THE PREVIEW

29th December 2022 By Freddie Humphry-Wakefield 3 Comments

Norwich City play their first game since the inevitable sacking of Dean Smith as they host Reading at Carrow Road tomorrow night. They come into this game off the back of losing to ten-man Luton Town on Boxing Day, while the Royals beat Swansea City 2-1 on Tuesday. The last time we played Reading at […]

Do we actually want to get promoted?

28th December 2022 By Fred Garratt-Stanley 11 Comments

It’s no secret that Norwich City is in crisis. By initially refusing to do the right thing and relieve Dean Smith of his duties, Stuart Webber did nothing but amplify the ridicule and toxicity that clouded the non-existent relationship between the head coach and fanbase. And regardless of the fact that change has finally been […]

So then, the big question. Who’s next?

28th December 2022 By Luke Scales 18 Comments

So, what has felt inevitable for a long time has finally happened. Dean Smith is no more. What at the time seemed a baffling decision has ended as many predicted it would – in disaster. Smith’s record as the Head Coach of Norwich is abysmal, finishing his tenure with an average of 1.09 points per […]

One player, above all others, epitomises our club’s current plight

28th December 2022 By Jacob Robinson 6 Comments

That player is Ben Gibson. I was delighted when, in September 2020, it was revealed City were going to sign him on loan after he’d endured a tumultuous time at Burnley where, after impressing for Boro, he was the Clarets’ record signing. I also couldn’t have agreed more with the then-head coach, Daniel Farke’s statement: […]

Where do we go from here?

28th December 2022 By Phil Huish 7 Comments

It was clear for some time that the tenure of Dean Smith as head coach of Norwich City was coming to an end. I described us as being in a holding pattern following the Blackburn game where we were simply awaiting the end of his era. It has also been clear that just replacing Dean […]

Farewell, Deano. I’d love to say it’s been a blast…

27th December 2022 By Gary Gowers 24 Comments

It was inevitable in the end. The only thing that could have saved Dean Smith was if his prophecy that his team would emerge from the World Cup break a “different animal” had come to fruition. It didn’t. The exact same animal emerged. A muddled, half-hearted, and miserable one. The one that played turgid football, […]

Silence from Carrow Road as a rough patch turns into a crisis

27th December 2022 By Martin Penney 23 Comments

When I was a young lad we had a mobile library that used to stop on the corner of my street once a fortnight. I came across loads of books there but one that particularly impressed me was a hardback with this guy on the cover throwing fireballs at what seemed to be a selection […]

The final straw… and not just for Dean Smith

27th December 2022 By Gary Gowers 23 Comments

As I write, Dean Smith (as far as we know) remains in situ. Whether he will be by the time I finish this piece… who knows. But if he is and, more importantly, if he is still here on Friday when we face Reading, then no one wins – unless, of course, you’re a stubborn, […]

CITY v LUTON TOWN (a) – THE PREVIEW

24th December 2022 By Jamie Lauder 8 Comments

Where to start for this match preview. There’s been a host of excellent MFW content in the aftermath of City’s placid defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers, and the Dean Smith disasterclass that followed in his media interviews. Though, despite the cries from thousands – and the empty seats from others – Dean Smith […]

MyFootballWriter’s… A Christmas Carol

24th December 2022 By Steve Cook 25 Comments

As supporters, we see ourselves as more than just paying customers. The relationship with our football club is completely different to any other business we use. But imagine if it wasn’t. [Gary, cue up the transition to the dream sequence, please]. ____ It’s the weekend before Christmas. After a long week, my wife and I […]

Unrepentant and doubling down. No olive branch from Deano

23rd December 2022 By Freddie Humphry-Wakefield 15 Comments

Oh, Dean, you’ve done it now haven’t you? If the post-match comments after the Blackburn defeat weren’t enough, then the ones he made in his pre-match presser this morning have taken Old Yeller (or should I say Old Yellow?) behind the woodshed and put us out of our misery. Except, the misery remains for Norwich […]

If Deano can turn this around fair play, but who genuinely believes that he can?

23rd December 2022 By Steve Cook 12 Comments

I’m slightly reluctant to submit yet another article, focusing on our much-maligned Head Coach and add to the hostile narrative theory. But I’ll try to remove any emotive vitriol and hopefully dispel the notion that those of us calling for change are rabid maniacs, who are out for his blood. So I’ll channel the spirit […]

All about opinions… but is it really a well-run club, managed by good people?

22nd December 2022 By James Cushing 10 Comments

After reading Mick’s piece I thought, “Go on then, I’ll comment”. However, my response was long enough to put together a piece of my own. So here goes… Firstly, Mick was right to say his piece. We expected it and, to be fair, the one-way traffic was… well, one way. But I’m sure he’ll understand […]

If nothing else, dwindling crowds should send a message to NCFC’s Big Four

22nd December 2022 By Martin Penney 44 Comments

Famously, Winston Churchill once described Russia as a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. The New York Times put a modern spin on this at the start of the millennium by suggesting that the Churchillian words of 1939 were carefully chosen to speak eloquently of the Western sense of Moscow as the other – an inscrutable and menacing land […]

Why are Norwich fans so fed up?

21st December 2022 By Matt Ware 26 Comments

It’s just not fun anymore, is it? But then it wasn’t exactly a barrel of laughs for much of the time between 1995 and 2008, barring a couple of years under Nigel Worthington. So why, despite sitting fifth in the table – which we’d have killed for in most of those seasons – is it […]

Because football. Because the Championship

21st December 2022 By Mick Dennis 56 Comments

He shouldn’t have said it. But I certainly understand why Dean Smith felt relieved that Norwich City’s next game is away from home. I said the same to my wife as we trooped out of Carrow Road on Saturday after the defeat by Blackburn. But before I elaborate – and attempt to put the case […]

Remember those heady days when Norwich fans weren’t seen as the Club’s enemy?

20th December 2022 By Steve Cook 12 Comments

Gary doesn’t tend to allow his writing team to use the F word but I’m going to anyway. Farke! This isn’t a gushing eulogy on our long-since departed German but for those looking for reasons as to why there is such a disconnect between the club and its supporters, I’d suggest he remains a major […]

Blaming the fans usually spells the beginning of the end…

19th December 2022 By Jack Goddard 9 Comments

On Saturday night in the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings trailed 33-0 at home with five minutes to go in the first half. The crowd were stunned into silence, except to boo their own team before the half-time whistle had even blown. In the second half, Minnesota rallied to win 39-36, and complete the biggest comeback […]
