Norwich City’s recent poor form, which has seen them lose seven out of their last nine matches, has left them in 17th place in the Championship. Despite this, former player Simeon Jackson believes that the team has the ability to turn their fortunes around and mount a promotion push. Jackson points to the strong squad assembled by sporting director Stuart Webber as evidence that Norwich has the talent needed to start winning again. He emphasizes the importance of not becoming a “nearly team” and stresses the need for the team to secure victories in order to climb up the table.
Drawing on his own experience of being part of a promoted side in 2012, Jackson argues that having young and hungry players is not the only path to success. He believes that a combination of youth and experience, as well as players who fit the team’s style and philosophy, is key. Furthermore, Jackson highlights the importance of allowing managers time to build their teams and implement their preferred style of play. He sees this process as an integral part of every season and states that it ultimately comes down to the team’s ability to perform consistently and convert performances into victories.
Despite Norwich’s recent struggles, Jackson remains confident in the team’s potential. He emphasizes their need for a bit of luck and a positive result to regain momentum and start winning games. With the right balance of players and the support of the entire squad, Jackson believes that Norwich can overcome their current dip in form and return to their winning ways. The challenge now lies in putting this belief into action and translating it into positive results on the pitch.
