Norwich City players presented Philippe Clement with their routine defeat experience in his first game in charge at Birmingham. Big Phil will now preside over his first home game in charge of Norwich, knowing that this season, Carrow Road is more ‘bouncy castle’ than fortress. Oxford are inbound Tuesday evening. They are also doing a crap job of Championship’ing this season although last time out they did manage to gain a point against ‘Boro. With Norwich still to secure a point at Carrow Road this season, it’s depressing to know that even if the stars align and somehow Norwich scrape a win together against Oxford, we will still be firmly rooted in the relegation zone. Anyway, I feel I’ve cheered everyone up enough now. Sorry the MDT was late. OTBC! Standby for the start of our big Belgian bounce back.

Good job Hairy! We'll win this going away and Clement will be a hero til next week. We have three who can score, now. If another, like Schwartau or Marcondes, will step up we will be ready for a run.
