Other Games

I don't often get the chance to go and watch City 'live', but I did manage to go to the first cup match against Villa.
It frightened me how bad we were. We were devoid of ideas, couldn't pass to each other, seemed scared to push forward, slow when there is a possibility of a break on etc.
This is surely down to CH and his tactics. My mate who I went with, has been a season ticket holder for the last 30 years.
He is one of the most pro Norwich people you will ever meet. He even supported Roeder, Grant and Gunn, so when he tells me that that was one of Norwich's better games this season, you can perhaps understand why people are getting fed up with CH.
Yes, we were spoiled by our 'success' under Paul Lambert when he guided us to 2 successive promotions, and maybe some of our fans expected a lot more, but what we do expect is that our players try to play as a team and try their best, and under CH, that does not seem to be happening as often as it should.
How much of that is down to CH and his tactics, I personally don't know, but something is obviously not clicking as it should do.
Take your first season with Pardew. Quite an impressive first season, and then look at last season, and indeed the beginning of this one.
You wanted to build on his first season, and quite rightly so. We finished well under CH last season and wanted to improve this season. We don't seem to have. That is why a lot of our fans are upset with CH. Just because he is a nice guy and you lot loved him, it doesn't mean he will be the same with us.
As for us being deluded, think again. One things Norwich fans aren't is deluded. We are well aware that people will look where we are and think that we're out in the sticks and won't necessarily be someone's first choice of a club, so when we do manage to get a decent signing, we are very pleased. That does not make us delusional. We know we are not a big club and never will be, but it won't stop us wanting to be the best we can, NOT, the best we can't.
