Lambert got the best out of him. Struggled ever since. Well since Sherwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukki and Cantwell on the bench again yesterday. Last chance saloon for Norwich who will give it a go but come out with a draw is my guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I think us winning every game between now and the end of the season is actually quite plausible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 How many decades would you have to go back to find us winning five in a row in the top flight? Did this happen in the early 80's, or is this more of a late-19th-century type of 'actually quite plausible'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF & it's a massive IF, we can get to the Arsenal game only a point or two behind then we have a chance. I really do though struggle to see any more than 3 point more for this team as they are clearly incapable of winning a game especially looking at those remaining fixtures. Honestly? I think we'll be as good as down by the time we play Everton away. I can see Watford beating Norwich and drawing with Newcastle by that point and we are just too poor to be able to overhaul them if that's the case. I wish i could say it was fun whilst it lasted but actually it has been the worst season i think i can ever remember. Even worse than the last relegation as although that was a shocking team at least we kind of saw it coming for a couple of years and didn't have the false hope that this one offered after winning the Play offs. Then with VAR ruining the live games on numerous occasions, dodgy decisions, serious injuries to key players (our new normal going by the last few years) and such awful strikers and wingers who are clearly not Premier League quality it has quickly become possibly the worst season i can recall.. (although i know we've had several since those heady early 80's days) I actually now am looking forward to seeing what the new owners cook up ahead of what is hopefully a much more enjoyable time albeit in the Championship next season.

That's clear water at the rate we are picking up points + our run in. Makes you wonder why they even bother running the league when someone can just assign points to fixtures before they’ve been played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Norwich are awful and Bruce isn't going to help us out forever. Our relegation could be more or less confirmed this time next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Watford will probably beat Norwich but it's not a result that can be predicted with a firm conviction that that will be so, for Watford are in very poor form themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
