CITY v PRESTON NE (A) – THE PREVIEW

13th January 2023 By Jack Lincoln 1 Comment

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, […]

ACADEMY – January report card for the Under-18s and Under-U21s

13th January 2023 By Will Grant 12 Comments

Despite some setbacks, 2022 was a hugely encouraging year for the young Canaries, with them making it into their first-ever PL2 Division 2 Play-Off campaign and many players committing their futures to the club.  However, the most satisfying thing was seeing Jon Rowe, Jon Tomkinson, Tony Springett and Liam Gibbs making their full debuts for […]

Three points… the Russ mystery… Deano’s lovable 1-0s… and still no brick!

12th December 2022 By Martin Penney 43 Comments

I have never thought of South Wales as a particularly mysterious place – anything but in fact as the folks I met there through work journeys to a long-gone powder coating factory just outside Newport in the late 1980s were as straight as they come, saying what they thought with great clarity. Everything about the […]

How can we unconditionally support an approach that we don’t fully understand?

28th October 2022 By Steve Cook 23 Comments

As the criticism of Dean Smith’s Norwich intensifies, perhaps it’s natural that shots are fired back towards the dissenting voices.  There has been a narrative playing out in some quarters that City supporters are unappreciative, expecting too much, and acting like spoilt, petulant children. That accusation is easy to shrug off when it comes from […]

And the new Norwich City manager is… (we still don’t know)

13th November 2021 By Edward Couzens-Lake 12 Comments

Managerial speculation, gossip and counter gossip. It’s all a bit wearying. Especially that which is spouted by some of the more lowbrow media outlets with their endless references to their ‘sources’. In other words, if they stick their grubby paws into the guessing game lucky dip and get it right, they can blag and boast […]

Premier League survival one point at a time? Or is the tide turning too slowly?

17th October 2021 By Gary Gowers 18 Comments

Oh, Josh 🙁 For all the whys and wherefores of team selections, formations and substitutions that did or didn’t happen, the main reason we’re not dissecting our first win of the season this morning is that poor ol’ Josh, when faced with an open goal from 25 yards, horribly under-hit it. Really horribly. He’ll not […]

MATCH REPORT: No City heroes as Hornets make it five on the spin against Canaries

19th September 2021 By James Colman 8 Comments

‘You got me monologuing. The words are from the villain ‘Syndrome’ in the Disney Pixar Film ‘The Incredibles’, but could equally be applied to Daniel Farke after his pre-match press conference this week. Regrettably, there were no superheroes at Carrow Road today, nor anything Incredible. Despite his passionate defence of his players, Farke made changes […]

“The way football changes so quickly is crazy!”: Andrew Omobamidele talks to MFW

17th April 2021 By Samuel Seaman 2 Comments

15 days ago Andrew Omobamidele hadn’t started a senior game of football. Tonight, he starts in a game that could see him become a Premier League player. “The way football changes so quickly is just crazy,” says the 18-year-old as he sits down with MyFootballWriter. “Two or three weeks before you could just be training with […]

How and why City’s midfielders now become ‘full-backs’ in possession

9th March 2021 By Samuel Seaman 16 Comments

One of the more interesting aspects of Norwich City’s tactical setup this season has been the movement of their central midfielders in possession. Oliver Skipp and Kenny McLean are regularly seen receiving possession and covering in deep full-back positions. So, how does this work and why do they do it? The first thing to note […]

If (still a big if) City go up, how do they ‘Premier League-proof’ themselves?

4th January 2021 By Billy Dunthorne 3 Comments

If City do reach the ‘promised land’, how do they ensure they are well equipped to survive? In 2019, Daniel Farke’s City secured promotion to the Premier League playing a brand of football that was foreign to many in Norfolk. Expansive, attractive and progressive were the buzzwords used to describe Farkeball at that moment in […]

All the Young Dudes…

13th August 2020 By Martin Penney 32 Comments

Most of us think the life of a professional footballer consists of being rewarded with huge wages for doing something you enjoy for a living, holidaying on yachts, consorting with models, and generally exploiting la dolce vita to the full. While much of that is true – yes Beckham, Rooney, Balotelli I’m calling you out […]

Time for a major re-set. The very future of the game we love is at stake right now

22nd June 2020 By Robin Sainty 12 Comments

I’ve been lucky enough to be allowed to write about the game I love for 10 years now but I don’t think I’ve ever felt as disillusioned with it as I currently do. Before the pandemic the combination of live football to write about and a tight word limit meant that I never had the […]

How much are you missing matchday buddies? Oh for the day when we reunite

20th April 2020 By Martin Penney 27 Comments

As the prospect of seeing real, live football seems to disappear ever further from our cognisance, I thought I might pose the MFW community a question: do you miss your casual matchday mates and if so, how much? You could [like me] sit in a Barclay rag, tag and bobtail of lifetime friends, relatively new […]

Going Deutsch: how outside of the box thinking brought City back to the Prem

13th May 2019 By Ben Mannings 6 Comments

Heads dejectedly in their hands, City’s deflated players trudge back towards the tunnel, the boos from the travelling Canaries fans echoing in their ears. It’s Saturday 4th March 2017, the squad with a wage bill in excess of £50 million has just lost 5-1 to Sheffield Wednesday, all but confirming that they will miss out […]

Southgate’s decision testament to his shrewd principles and Angus’ Championship brilliance

14th November 2017 By Will Jennings Leave a Comment

Bravo Gareth Southgate. With resources wearing thin, injuries pervasive, and a daunting test against Neymar’s Brazil awaiting, England’s dignified manager was bold. The selection of City’s Angus Gunn revealed a manifold number of things, not least Southgate’s meritocratic values and Gunn’s growing precocity as our increasingly dependable number one. Angus deserves this. His call-up represents […]

Now time to put the fears and grievances aside and throw our weight behind Team Adams?

9th December 2014 By Connor Southwell 11 Comments

I hate to be one who blames Adams when City lose and give everyone else, apart from him, credit when we win but Saturday had the knowledge of Mike Phelan stamped all over it. We kept it tight when we needed to and pressed them all over the park.

Hughton's City brushed all-too easily aside by a new-look Spurs side dripping with cash and class

14th September 2013 By Rick Waghorn Leave a Comment

It was a rare foray forward; Spurs were dominant. And looked a class above – right across the park. In short, it was a 1-0 scoreline at the interval that as a Norwich supporter you would take; by rights, Spurs should have been over the hill and far away…

Hughton vows to 'look after' his teenage starlet as the Canary chief celebrates a very big job done in getting a first win

31st August 2013 By Rick Waghorn Leave a Comment

City boss Chris Hughton tonight paid tribute to the young man that will dominate many a newspaper headline tomorrow – 19-year-old winger Nathan Redmond. “We need to look after that one,” said Hughton, as the teenager continued to sparkle on that Premier League stage. The England Under-21 international grabbed the only goal in today’s huge […]

Sloppy City left with nothing to show from a one-man advantage over a spirited Tigers side as Brady's spot-kick proves all-decisive

24th August 2013 By Rick Waghorn 4 Comments

…that was about as good as it got as City’s final ball proved as ill-considered and ill-hit as all-too much of their movement. There wasn’t a man amongst them that didn’t give away a sloppy pass or fail to take advantage of a half-decent position.
