The fact that this thread has managed just two pages 24 hours before ko must say something about the underlying level of interest in the team at the moment - or is everyone out doing late Christmas shopping? Think you've hig the nail on the head there mate, interest in the club, after years of dirge, is at an all time low. I'll caveat that with since the move yto the stadium. Think fans have had an absolute belly full of the club. |

I’ll try stoke some interest although tbf I’m in the same boat to a large extent.after presser today I’m expecting the exact same team as Saturday.Jackson been back helps in this run and would imagine he comes back in at some point.probably forces a change of shape though from 3-5-2 to probably 3-4-3 but that’s for another day.
Weirdly tomorrow I don’t see the draw,I either think we nick it 1-0 or get blown away by 4!

Why is he in denial. All I can see is that he has promised to grown the business by increasing income not throwing money at it and has a plan for getting to the PL. Give the guy at least until end of January but have no idea where denial comes into it.

If we had a genuinely good side and were top two going for automatic then crowds would be in the teens every home game, fans will go watch winning teams wether its premeier league or conference, things arem't very inspiring at the moment so interest wanes, its that simple.

Very true. The football could be crap, but as long as the team is winning they will turn up. |

Crowds were better than now, but it wasn't great, nothing like Wagner promotion season. |

Harsh.. The kaiser totally revolutionised our club.. Took us from perpetual mediocrity into a premier league league team in 2 years.. On a comparatively shoestring budget.. If we had had a successful transfer window in the summer of 2018 we might have still been there like Brighton., His tactical nous and energy was a breath of fresh air at the time but has now been copied and replicated by numerous managers.. Maybe it was just a moment in time 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Still would swap him for Moore in a heartbeat.. 🍻 I think that's just what it was, a moment in time, a perfect storm, a fluke, whatever you want to call it. He has done absolutely nothing since he left Town. There are plenty of managers you could level that at tbf. |

5 of us going.... ....if Moore gets the boot. If not, day in the pub it is. Don't get too pissed  Pub it is, gutted to be missing this but the football is dire which means we won’t give any atmosphere at all. Watch us win now…. So annoying because they are 100% beatable, the fans are against Wagner and co, if we go there and give it a really good go we can come away with the 3pts. But that is the same as Millwall and we got lucky there. It’s just so ‘meh’ at the moment and I hate it! |

Wagner came in for us and did the unthinkable to most, got us promoted to the PL. There are other clubs out there with their own Wagner who achieved similar almost unbelievable feats who will be held in high regard (almost revered) by those fans. Wagner will arguably be once in a lifetime to many Town fans. Why it hasn’t worked for him anywhere else remains a mystery. |

Even when we're not shit we always get bummed in the gob at Carrow Road. No silly yellow or red cards is about the most optimistic I can be about this one. Can you get bummed in the gob? Unless your a contortionist I find that hard to swallow ! Get yourself to Carrow Road tomorrow. You'll witness it first hand |

It’s a complete free hit, but we will be cautious and defensive again and try get a 0-0. The teams below us all have hard games so it is a game we should be going for. |

Nicholls missing for the next couple of weeks won't help. Keepers used to play with broken necks in the old days. I would not be surprised if he never plays for us again and goes on to better things in Jan.

Really poor hunting ground for us over recent years but Wagner teams notoriously struggle against opponents that set up like Moore has done for many away games.
Norwich aren’t the team we thought they were when they did us 4-0 back in August and do have a really soft underbelly - but will score for fun.
My team would be the below . I know it’s four central midfielders across the midfield but I look at Kasumu Wiles and Rudoni as relatively versatile and can easily fill in for Thomas and Headley pushing on , go narrow if needed but also cover overlapping full backs.
That also gives Burgzorg , Koroma , Diarra (maybe!) to come on if the games tight .
Maxwell
Thomas Lees Helik Nakayama Headley
Kasumu Hogg Wiles Rudoni
Ward
If I’m honest I think it’s going to be a tough ask and fully expect 2/3-0 with Ashley Barnes dominating .

You'd have to deduce and make the assumption that, as a manager, he is lacking in ability. I do think promotion at Town was a perfect storm, just as Luton's was and no doubt should they be relegated, they will do what we have done since relegation, flirt with further relegation. |

Think Wagner's promotion at Town clouds a lot of Town fans judgement on his true managerial abilities, he us currently presiding over inconsistency and mediocrity with a Norwich squad that should probably be top 2 in comparison to where they are now. The promotion buys him a lot of credit but as a manager in general he isn't up to much. He was fantastic for the first two years here, but after that I think he lost it. He's not done anything at Schalke, Young Boys and Norwich subsequently. While he would be a better option than Moore, he isn't the answer. Robert Wagner would be a better option than Moore |

In the unlikely event of Town ever getting to the Premier League again, anyone going today should be top of the ticket priority list. Terrible football, little chance of a result, long journey, cold weather, two days before Christmas. Fair play lads and lasses, huge respect. 👏🏻

Fair play lads and lasses, huge respect. 👏🏻 EFL/FA know the transport situation so close to Xmas, some of the journeys fans are asked to make today are unnecessary & avoidable, but its improved slightly from the return Xmas/Boxing day fixtures of years ago to London/South Wales........My great Aunt married to a Town fanatic was not impressed & usually had to go to with my uncle otherwise she wouldn't get to see him on Xmas day. |

Just been offshore with a Norwich Season Ticket holder so messaged him yesterday.
He's says their rubbish at the moment and expects us to get at least a point.
I just said what until you see us if you think you are rubbish🥴

In fairness, most teams visiting Norwich have a bit of a trek, a la Plymouth and to some degree Carlisle. Having said that, why was the tractor derby played a few days ago instead of Boxing Day? Why aren’t we playing Leeds, Wed or Rotherham over the break? I bet Sky and the EFL can’t believe their luck that Leicester v Ipswich popped up on Boxing Day. Imagine yrs down the line, when TV has an even bigger stranglehold, and the fixtures are announced every couple of months or so… |
