Idah's looked like a desperate dive.

Norwich now haven’t scored in their last 4 games. Assuming they don’t score in the next 5 mins

Norwich have had the ball in some good places they just can't hit the target.

Hourihane is an annoyingly good signing.

Puki not scored since 29th December. Most overrated striker of all time

Yep

Norwich have been pretty poor from
what I’ve seen. Be out of the top 2 of Brentford and Swansea win their games in hand

Narch have been hauled back in. Two points from their last three games. Things can change quickly as we found out earlier in the season. We just need to hang on in there.

One man team?


Well the commentator just said Norwich aren't a one man team so those numbers must be made up!

51 from 102 isn’t bad tbf - 40 goals in 67 champ games :lol: But he’s been playing like a veteran on wind down over past few weeks. How is he only 30?!

I mean, Brentford look unstoppable at the moment, but last year immediately after the return they looked nailed on and then they got something like 2 points in the final 4. It's a brutally difficult league and it only takes 3 or 4 games to derail a promotion bid.

Of course but it is hardly far fetched - a draw tonight is the most likely result I think. We are favourites to win tomorrow and whilst Bretford are too, Boro away could be a banana skin (although, their last couple of home results suggests otherwise). So first 3 results would probably be fairly short odds on an accumulator, heading into the Brentford game.


Don't want to disagree (because ,like you, I would like those results to happen)but as far as the bookies are concerned Stoke are favourites to beat us ( we are 2/1) as are Brentford next week (we are around 5/2) so the double for us to beat both Stoke and Brentford is 9.5/1.

Am not predicting anything but I thought you might like to know how we are perceived by the bookies, i.e. nearly always under-rated.

For balance, we were 5/2 to beat Bournemouth. Which, considering form, league position and the fact that we were at home, was ridiculous. The bookies love to underestimate us.


I won a nice bet on Tom McIntyre to score during the Bournemouth game at 20/1.

I had figured that was a one time only opportunity as the bookies would have now cottoned on to the fact that he has at least one decent effort a game. Turns out not and he has lengthened to 22/1 for a goal at anytime.

Jnr had a tenner on us to win by a two goal margin at 10/1. We are seriously being under-estimated. Some poster on the Brentford forum referred to us as a mid table side.

He who laughs last...

Just about to say this. A very shrewd signing. Win our next two and we are bang in the mix but anything less and we are playing catch up. This is looking like a 3/4 race for the top two places.

We're definitely on the cusp, we need to keep results up or it's likely to turn into a 3 way tussle.


Yep. The next two are crucial. We need to win both.


Not sure - still a long way to go yet

A draw and a win would keep us ticking along nicely

Well that result is great if we beat Stoke. We could keep ourselves in touching distance here and the ball is entirely in our court.

I've had a novel idea, why don't we just win all our remaining games? That should do it right?

The odds are completely bizarre. OddsChecker is showing McIntyre at 25/1. Sam Baldock is at 3/1, Jayden Onen at 5/1, Oli Pendlebury at 13/2, Felipe Araruna at 11/1, Liam Moore at 18/1, and Jeriel Dorsett at 20/1.

Reckon if you put a tenner on McIntyre at 20-25/1 every time he looked like starting then you’d turn a solid profit over the year. Very strange that he has longer odds than injured players, academy kids who haven’t made their league debuts, and substitutes who haven’t scored all season.
