Good win for your lot today. How did you enjoy the local delights of Stoke. Winning made it a lot more palletable I imagine.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 29 Sep 2013, 9:42 pm

Barely heard them all day Jack. Eerily quiet inside the Brit today. Never like that when I went under Pulis and those games were much much worse

by Lumbering_Jack Sun 29 Sep 2013, 9:46 pm

I got the impression they were often singing out of defiance at the tripe that was served up each week.

That said they used to make one hell of a racket and made it really difficult for away teams. If they lose that with Hughes then that'll cost then a few points.

46 quid for a ticket for the Utd away league cup game.

Looks like I won't be going, ridiculous pricing

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 04 Oct 2013, 7:11 pm

Well the club have put on free coach travel for said Cup game, still don't think I'll go, still a ridiculous priced ticket

Hughton is on very very thin ice from what I understand.

Mackay in Olly?

You should go for him or Sean Dyche IMO

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 10:11 pm

I'd like us to go foreign, as much as I like Mackay, he's just as negative as Hughton is.

I want us to go down the route Swansea/Saints did

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 10:15 pm

The West Ham game looms ominously on the horizon. Don't win that game, he's gone no doubt in my mind.

I'm debating whether it's worth missing work for or not

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 10:45 pm

Only gets easier this weekend, Man City away, man that's gonna be ugly...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 31 Oct 2013, 2:30 pm

Tettey out for a few weeks, Snoddy/Redmond doubts for Saturday.

This means Bradley Johnson might play. My word

by **Crimey** Fri 01 Nov 2013, 10:19 am

I'd be surprised if he isn't replaced by a similar manager, think to integrate a new style requires more time and wouldn't be logical a quarter of the way into the season with relegation looming. If Norwich do sack Hughton, expect his replacement to be somebody like Pulis.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 01 Nov 2013, 11:07 am

Errr that'd be a whole different style to what we currently play Crimes...

We keep the ball on the deck, actually been playing better possession football this year, just too defensive minded...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 02 Nov 2013, 8:35 pm

He must go.

That's the single worst performance I have seen from a Norwich side in my life. Complete and utter capitulation, spineless gutless pathetic

by Guest Sat 02 Nov 2013, 9:31 pm

He's taken Norwich as far as possible, same when he was at Newcastle. Got sacked after a shocking away performance at WBA. You've bought some quality players in, they just need a manager to get them playing at the levels they should be & in a system which works. Clearly that's not happening currently. Good time to sack a manager for me, gives them a month or so to analyse the squad & then pinpoint what need improving in the window.

by TRUSSMAN66 Sun 03 Nov 2013, 12:01 pm

If you are going to have a shocker.......Have it against a team you were never going to beat at their place........

Who's going to replace Hughton???......PULIS ????

Ten men behind the ball and kick people around.........

Give him more time.......He did a good job last season.......

Two wins and you are mid table........

Utd got a slap off City.......They are quality at home...........Relax..

by ncfc_Tooze Sun 03 Nov 2013, 12:13 pm

It's not just this season truss, we have won only 6 games since Christmas which is nowhere near good enough.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 03 Nov 2013, 1:16 pm

Truss mate, we've had 6 wins in about 35 odd games since last Christmas, we're averaging way below a point a game in that time, it's just nowhere near good enough.

People were prepared to give him 10 games at the start of this season, and it's just got no better! We still can't score, Hughton still is tactically naive, it's just too much now

Truss was correct

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 04 Dec 2013, 10:02 pm

Sack him now right goddamn now please

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 26 Dec 2013, 6:23 pm

We're so bad

by GSC Thu 26 Dec 2013, 7:22 pm

Time for change

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 26 Dec 2013, 7:52 pm

Yes it is. But it won't happen until its too late I fear. Our board are pretty conservative.

I feel for RVW. Instead of playing to his strengths, Hughton is trying to fit him in a round hole when he is the square peg. He isn't a target man, yet Hughton seems to want to only use him as one. It depresses me greatly to see talent wasted like this

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 01 Jan 2014, 8:24 pm

We're in serious serious trouble unless we get rid of this clueless fool as soon as possible.

Only 3 points and 3 goals from Swansea, Sunderland, Fulham, Man Utd and Palace is unacceptable. Shambolic.

Get this man out of our club before he takes us down

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 11 Jan 2014, 4:51 pm

Man up and sack this absolute clown McNally.

How on earth he's still in a job is beyond me

by NickisBHAFC Sat 11 Jan 2014, 7:16 pm

I heard his tactics were brilliant today. Everton just got lucky.

by Guest Sat 11 Jan 2014, 9:33 pm

I would have thought that the best Norwich could achieve was mid-table mediocrity - which at the moment is 23 points and Norwich are three points from that. I would have thought the range would be from Championship level to mid-table Premiership level. But since you're a supporter you have the right to demand the head of the manager if you don't like the style of football - but would you like to have a nice style of football in the Championship - like Wigan. Wolves got rid of Mick McCarthy and they are now in the first division. Personally for me I would like to see good quality competitive football - and if that meant Championship level football then so be it.

I see that Norwich won the FA Youth Cup last year - do Norwich have a tradition of bringing players through from the youth academy?

by ncfc_Tooze Sun 12 Jan 2014, 3:19 pm

Sutton
Dublin
Bellamy
Green

That's 4 straight off that have come through our a academy and gone on to possibly better things. There have been others that have come through with varieing success
Currently josh Murphy is a squad regular and was joined by gafaiti, hall-Johnson and twin brother Jacob Murphy in last weeks game vs Fulham in the cup all from the youth cup winning team or u21 team.

As for hughton he won't be gone now until the end of the season at the earliest, its too late how ever much we want him gone. No manager will come here with the lack of time remaining in the window. If he was to go he would have gone at Christmas or earlier.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 14 Jan 2014, 8:29 pm

We're absolute sh!t.

Sack Hughton for gods sake, it's getting embarassing, ridiculously embarassing

by Fernando Tue 14 Jan 2014, 8:31 pm

It looks like a game where your both trying to go out Olly.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 14 Jan 2014, 8:34 pm

I bet he makes no changes at half time.

I'm so angry

Yes I already posted my thoughts on this in the Prem thread.

Seems the brief has changed since September at the AGM...

by Guest Wed 15 Jan 2014, 11:02 pm

If it will stop the Norwich supporters from being so miserable (even mild mannered & friendly Olly seems sad and angry) I hope they sack Chris Hughton immediately. I guess the supporters are booing after every match and raising banners such as Hughton Out - in order to get the message across? I suppose Malky Mackay will be their choice to replace him. Norwich seem to be a well run ship so I imagine there will be many throwing their caps into the ring.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 16 Jan 2014, 3:29 pm

Mackay would do a great job at Norwich recon, and the Norwich family should take him in as one of there own as he used to play for them.

But they should 100% hold fire until the end of the season, its too late now.

by westisbest Tue 28 Jan 2014, 9:19 am

I see our game with you has moved from saturday 1st march to sunday the second. live at 16:30.

Had planned to go to this if it was saturday.

by Guest Fri 31 Jan 2014, 4:37 pm

Olly somebody needs hashtagging.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2548907/Hughton-investigate-reports-rebel-midfielder-Hoolahan-criticising-Norwich.html

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 31 Jan 2014, 4:40 pm

He's right Freeky, we are a f*cking sh*thouse club at the minute, and the way he's been underused is astonishing.

Our two January signings look to be Jonas Gutierrez and Joseph yobo with the ever exciting possibility of Glenn Whelan.

Please for the love of god get Chris Hughton as far away from this football club as possible ncfc board

by Guest Fri 31 Jan 2014, 4:46 pm

Yeah I read about Yobo this morning. Thought he was alot older than 33.

by westisbest Fri 31 Jan 2014, 6:15 pm

Very bad that Hoolahan cant leave.
Could certainly have used his experience.

by GSC Fri 31 Jan 2014, 6:18 pm

He wont be sold to Lambert, he may well leave

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 31 Jan 2014, 8:58 pm

Yep three bids rejected from Villa for Wes, no way on earth we will sell to Lambert. Things got very very bad towards the end of his tenure

by westisbest Fri 31 Jan 2014, 9:41 pm

Ah, school yard stuff.

We were not going to get anyone today.

Feel for Wes, doesn't want to play for you, but probably not going to leave(unless those pesky baggies have taken him on loan).

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 31 Jan 2014, 9:45 pm

Nose face spite

I mean what did Lambert ever do for Norwich.

Agree with Chris that it is a case of cutting off one's nose. His value will drop with time at his age.

Although calling the club a sh!thole is a bit silly.
