City managed to secure a late victory in their recent match, despite not showing ambition to win in the last 20 minutes. The win was a welcome relief for fans, who had been vocal about their disappointment with the team’s performances. Despite Delia Smith’s comments about “boo boys,” former City great Darren Huckerby supported the fans’ right to criticize the team. While City didn’t play exceptionally well, they were able to dig in and secure a win, aided by the return of Gunn and surprising team selections by David Wagner.
One of the surprising team selections was Kenny McLean starting at center back, despite full-timers being available in that position. This decision, along with other attempts to convert players to different positions, has been met with mixed opinions. Additionally, some players on the bench, like Borja Sainz, have not been given the opportunity for more game time. The past few weeks have been challenging for fans and those within the club, with criticism being met with resistance and concern about the club’s direction.
Despite the team’s scratchy performances, they have managed to secure three wins in four games, which is seen as a positive. There is hope that the next few games can generate more positivity and unity among fans, especially leading into the derby. There is also a call for more transparency and open communication between the club and the fans, rather than rejecting or ignoring criticism. Ultimately, the goal is success for Norwich City, and the hope is to move forward together once again.
