The other side of Emi Marcondes: ‘Looking forward to celebrating after’ - Marcondes on Wrexham and mental health https://www.pinkun.com/sport/interviews/25477906.norwich-city-emi-marcondes-wrexham-mental-health/
I believe (read somewhere) wage bill has the closest correlation with league position - not perfect, but a good proxy. I actually don’t think there’s too much wrong with the squad. Fifth in the league sounds about right. The issue is the structure and teamwork
Pinkun report on Mattsson's debut: "Mattsson displayed energy and showed flashes of composure with the ball, the kind that initially attracted the attention of Norwich's recruitment team. For any player from overseas, being thrown in at the deep end in the Championship can prove testing. It is unique in its nature and physicality, hence why so many from the continent require a real period of adaptation to grapple with its challenges. The most pleasing aspect is that Mattsson didn't seem phased by the physicality and intensity that often catches many new players out. It wasn't just his running capacity but also his ability to stick a foot in or make an interception - no Norwich player made more of either than Mattsson on his first City start. Two blocks also ranked above everyone else in yellow and green. Equally with the ball, Mattsson completed all of his passes between 15 and 30 yards - playing the ball into Wrexham's final third on five occasions. Two of his passes led directly to shots on goal for Norwich. Mattsson was thrown into a baptism of fire and proved that, with time, he could emerge as an important player for Norwich. Crucially, he looks ready to hit the ground running and deliver immediately." https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...city-pelle-mattsson-shows-fight-baptism-fire/
