The Norwich City football team has been struggling in recent matches, losing two of their last nine league games. After their most recent defeat to Middlesbrough, manager David Wagner had a stern conversation with the team behind closed doors. Despite the criticism, Wagner defended his players, stating that he does not doubt or question them. He believes that they are capable of better performances and expects more from them.
Wagner expressed concern over the inconsistency in the team’s performance. He pointed out that just three days prior to the Middlesbrough game, they had played exceptionally well against Leeds. However, in the following match, their play was lacking in key aspects. He believes that this is not due to lack of freshness or fitness, but rather a lack of bravery and confidence in possession. Wagner emphasized the importance of commitment and not appearing weak as a team.
In terms of player fitness, there are no new concerns for Norwich City ahead of their next match. However, goalkeeper Angus Gunn has been ruled out for the next three league games. Caleb Ansen will be on the bench as backup goalkeeper for George Long. Jon McCracken will continue his loan at Accrington, while another young goalkeeper, Vicente Reyes, will be returning from his loan at Braintree next week.
The future of Norwich City remains uncertain, but Wagner is determined to rally his team and play to their strengths. Despite recent poor performances, he believes in the potential of his players and will continue to support and protect them. The team must focus on consistency and regain their bravery and confidence on the field.
