The Official Norwich City Thread
Discussion
We are getting closer to promotion.
A good weekend with a comfortable win apart from the red card. That means the starting line up will change for the 1st time in something like 8 games.
Then there was the awards last night with both the young player and the player of the season going to Norwich.
Its telling looking a few pages back with discontent around Farke but then his system started working and i think the players and the fans realised how he wanted the team to play.
Now they could reach 100 points Pukki could score 30 goals in a season. We are scoring at least 2 goals each game.
They are playing some of the best football ive seen in a while.
Hopefully we can make a better go at the PL this time around.

Radio 5 Live and my Sunday paper both remarked on City's relatively easy run-in to the end of the season. That's like the kiss of death. Admittedly only the Villa match could be construed as a real test, and by then the dust should have settled.
I have to say Farke stayed resolute and calm whenever things looked a bit dodgy (earlier in the season) and I admre him for sticking to his guns and his system. The big question as always is "spend or don't spend". Enjoy your time in the sun and take the parachute payment, or make a real go of it? Watford have done OK. Could be interesting next year.
PS I actually thought the best we could hope for was the playoffs. I still have to pinch myself..........

I'm looking forward to seeing how Farke and the majority of the team fare in the Premier League. Don't think we need wholesale changes.
We are going up. Only issue is first or second.
If things don't go quite according to plan I hope they don't hit the panic button straight away and sack the manager like Norwich normally do.We are going up. Only issue is first or second.
I don't think we need to spend loads, the most important thing in the summer is to retain everybody because there are going to be big bids for at least Aarons.
We need to sign a reliable starting GK imo, along with better backup in the full back positions, a centreback to compete with the current 4 because I think at least on of Hanley/Klose will/should leave and a starting central midfielder who can win back possession effectively and move the ball on quickly. Could also do with some competition up top for Pukki and a backup winger. That'll do.

king wait for next season. Premier league sides? We'll sWell we made it tough on ourselves with 4 consecutive draws before the win last night but we finally got across the line. A superb and unexpected achievement given where we finished last year. Well done Daniel Farke, your method finally paid off. Looking forward to the Premier League now with an exciting group of players.

Ipswich fan here. Well done and well deserved, a well run club reaping rewards.
Unlike us. Not only are we heading South fast you can even laugh at donating us Lambert!
Must be amazing to be a Norwich fan at the moment.
Don't forget Lambert got us back to back promotions from League One and was bossing Colchester when they beat us 7-1 after we went down before moving to us, so hopefully all is not lost for you. It might just be the wake up call Ipswich needs, and one season to consolidate and get the club back on a positive footing is not the end of the world.Unlike us.

As a Norwich supporter I would rather have you in the same league as us, preferably the Premier league, but with Norwich a few places higher

Yeah I can see the logic and I like the positivity. I don't live in EA anymore but from a distance I can't see Ipswich have any direction from Marcus Evans.As a Norwich supporter I would rather have you in the same league as us, preferably the Premier league, but with Norwich a few places higher
However that's for another thread, this is all about Norwich.

Don't know why we were worried to be honest.
Three games ago I told a good friend and ardent Ipswich supporter that all we needed was for Ipswich to beat Leeds and we would be champions. He said he would bet me £100 that they wouldn't, where was my faith in Ipswich
Looking forward to next season now, if they carry on like this we might just stay up.

We rounded off a great season and I'll admit unexpected to myself by winning the Championship. One of the best days for me in supporting this club for 43 years. OTBC
Absolutely agree 
I felt I had to post, if only to help some of my hposts from a couple of years ago disappear further into posting history....
It has quite simply been an amazing turn around, even from August last year, when we were 17th, 4 points from 5 games, including 3 defeats and playing pretty awful stuff- masses of sideways, tippy-tapping possession football with no end product. Then just after we (... admittedly) escaped with a draw at Ipswich (... yep, difficult to believe now) it just ‘clicked’. And we started playing some of the best football I’ve ever seen a Norwich team play, just delightful stuff- fluid, attacking football, skilful, technical players, plus some really impressive young talents coming through (several from our Academy) and most notably a free transfer CF who gets 30 goals, winning the Golden Boot. The word is we are not spending much money bringing players in so I sincerely hope we don’t embarrass ourselves next season; if we keep this team together we may surprise a few, here’s hoping! And come what may this season will last long in the memory. OTBC indeed!
Anyone else read Rod Liddle's regularly entertaining column in the Sunday Times? He reckoned City were team of the season, defying his personal expectations. He even went so far as to suggest that we could be next season's Wolves with the style of play being very similar.
It's either the kiss of death, or he could have something there.
