I like Norwich a lot. Three easy points (only Joking) Nice pub near the ground : Coach and Horses or something like that. One geezer bought me a plate of chips last time were there ..Lovely people.
I don't get all this praise for our support from both sides. I thought we were really quiet yesterday.
I only thought it picked up whenever Snodgrass touched the ball. 90% of the songs seemed to be having having a go at him.
Before the game i was in walton street club talking to loads of there fans and they seemed a great bunch, our support was pretty good but i think we could do with a few new songs
Acoustics. From where i sit,i can look across to E1,2 and 3 and see everyone has their arms held high,clearly singing,but i can't always hear them. Edit: I'm in E9.
I quite liked Hughton, but reading the comments and talking to some Norwich fans yesterday, he's not universally popular as he has a bit of a Pearsonesque "no lose" approach to the game, which I guess can mute fans if you're expecting it. On one of their forums, they're discussing new chants and "Defend, defend, Defend, defend defend" was a favourite.
1st season in the Prem we were one of the highest scoring teams in the league, but we also conceded more than most. CH came in and he decided that the defence needed to be sorted 1st which sounds obvious on our 1st season. But along with that he decided to make tactical changes that makes us a much tougher side to beat and be better at the back more often which he did but as a result performances were dire 2nd half of the season and we didn't score anywhere near enough goals. But we did finish higher than the season before but not as many points. Then on to this season, he has made the signings to improve us going forward in his way and to be fair this season he hasn't been able to do that once. I have no gripe with him and his tactical ways and yesterday he didn't do anything wrong. But the "Lambert lovers" aka "Hughton out brigade" cant wait for a performance like that as they aim it to him rather than the players. I do honestly believe once we have a fully fit 1st XI we will be alright cause the players are good quality players and will do well for us... But they have to play in the right positions unless there was no point in buying them.
