stephenkibby. Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just had a look. after a moan about a request for more tickets, apparently in our unbeaten run we haven't had a win over anyone with any merit. Lets see after Saturdays game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day any team that wins 9 in a row at Championship level is doing something right. We showed that against Wolves too with another decent defensive effort and a spirited performance to try to get back in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wrong I’m afraid, this only counts for everyone else in the Championship except for ‘Shitty little Brizzle City’ all I’ve heard from opposition after our games during our run is, ‘can’t believe we lost to them’, ‘they are shite’ ‘worst team I’ve seen all season’ blah blah blah. Let Norwich think that way too, and hopefully we’ll shut them up come Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well in the last 9 fixtures we won which of them were top 6? Blackburn were second in the form table when we beat them away, but other than that you would have to agree we haven't proven it against the better sides yet...... As @Roe said 9 in 9 no matter who you play is a bloody good effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 A few teams we have beaten have dropped out the top half since like Blackburn, Swansea and Stoke. The table doesn't lie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 To be fair to them of our 7 wins in a row, theyve played 4 of the fixtures and won them all too. Rotherham H Bolton H Forest A Blackburn A. They are better than us but we can go there with our head held high. Be good to extend the unbeaten league run even if the winning run is to much to hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldYella Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Norwich fan here, and I too have read the thread referred to above, and with some disdain, I was at your place for the 2-2 draw in December and felt that game could have gone either way on the night chances wise, but most definitely was better for you guys on gameplay, pressing and possession. Regarding your recent run, it has been outstanding and any of our fans underestimating the task on Saturday stand a good chance of leaving Carrow road disappointed! Although you can be sure that Daniel Farke won't be underestimating you and won't be allowing the squad to either. Your run will end some time, they all do, but I'm not convinced it will Saturday. I hope we all get to see an entertaining game and of course I hope Norwich play like we did at Leeds and Bolton and that the Preston game was a blip, however, I saw shades of Bristol at Preston and didn't much like it......

Funny you mention Preston....despite not being as cynical as them (we don’t have a vile shit like Ben Pearson), we are a team currently playing as a “sum of the parts” not as individuals as previous season’s Bristol City teams have. Will be interesting to see Pukki against Webster and Kalas (Webster missed the home game) - they are a fantastic pairing - many fans on here saying they are the best they’ve seen, including our old DIv One (late 70s) side. We also have Jay Dasilva, who will hopefully push Buendía and Aarons back. He offers more going forward than Kelly, and has the best first touch in our squad. It should be a good game. Is Vrancic likely to still be out? Good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really do post utter nonsense most of the time. ‘Norwich fans just like us wouldn’t know any different’, why don’t you have a look at this forum in the days leading up to Blackburn; the VAST majority knew their run and form, respected them and feared the banana skin.

Everyone plays everyone twice in the League so couldn’t really care less who we’ve beaten on our recent run of victories, that’s what the fixture list gave us so we can only beat what’s in front of us, and as someone pointed out above this league is nigh on impossible to predict. Our run will obviously end at some point, and most will probably say it will end this week, but if LJ gets his tactics right from the start then I think we’ll come away with something, I’m predicting a high scoring game, a draw or either side by the odd goal.

Guest Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 @RobboredI take little or no interest in half the teams in this league, and if a few lower down has won a couple on the bounce I may not know as I don't recall all of the results, but if ANY of them won 7 on the bounce and were unbeaten in 15 league games I would be well aware of it. You really think you could go to numerous Norwich fans on Saturday and ask "what do you think of our 15 game unbeaten run and our 7 wins on the bounce in the League", and they would honestly replay "I never knew that"? I could imagine Delia replying "who are you" but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, at the end of the day we just want to be respected. I have no doubts Farke and your lot will be well up for it and expecting a big test. We haven’t been spectacular in our run but we play good football at times, can turn it up if need be and we are extremely difficult to break down. Norwich in many ways are the complete opposite almost. Generally play the good football at all times and score quite a few but can have an off day defensively. I don’t expect 3 points Saturday. Don’t even expect 1 but I’d be shocked if it wasn’t a close one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
