In this content, the author reflects on the recent performances of Norwich City Football Club and their current standing in the league. At the start of the season, the team showed promise, with wins and draws propelling them to fifth place in the table. However, recent matches have been a mixed bag. Home wins against Stoke and Birmingham provided some positives, but defeats to Leicester, Swansea, and Plymouth were disheartening. The team’s position has slipped, and there are growing concerns about their performance, lack of a plan B or C, and depth of the squad. The author calls for improvement in game management, tempo, and intent.
The author also discusses the treatment of fans and their loyalty to the club. The recent away game against Swansea, which involved a 600-mile round trip, highlighted the lack of consideration for supporters. The author calls for limits on the distance of evening games and suggests that the club should give more subsidy to honor the loyalty of fans. Additionally, the author highlights the story of Nathan West, who was trolled on social media but received overwhelming support from the football community.

The performance during this crucial phase will determine the trajectory of the season and whether the author’s conclusion of Norwich City being “bang average” is proved wrong.
