Ben Gibson’s own goal in the 88th minute prevented Norwich from securing a victory against Coventry City, but it did end their four-game losing streak away from home. The late goal was met with frustration from some Norwich fans, who directed their anger towards head coach Daniel Farke and the squad. This disappointment comes after Norwich have only won one out of their last six matches, putting a damper on their previously unbeaten start to the season. Farke acknowledges that there is work to be done during the international break before their next match against Leeds.
Farke recognizes the impact that a goal can have on the team’s morale and the fans’ perception of their performance. Although Norwich gave their traveling support only one point instead of three, Farke praises the amazing support they received during the match. He also acknowledges that their recent results away from home have been disappointing, and this draw against Coventry was seen as a first step towards improvement. Farke points out that Norwich creates good opportunities but lacks clinical finishing.
Despite the own goal, Farke is pleased with the effort, togetherness, and commitment shown by the team. He praises the defenders, particularly Ben Gibson and Shane Duffy, for their resolute display and effective box defending. Overall, Norwich looked confident in defending their box and had opportunities on the counter-attack. However, Farke acknowledges that mistakes can happen when defending crosses.
Overall, this draw against Coventry City keeps Norwich’s unbeaten start to the season at bay. The frustration from fans is evident, but Farke emphasizes the need for improvement and acknowledges the support from the traveling fans. With work to be done during the international break, Norwich will look to bounce back in their next match against Leeds.
