I am an avid city supporter always have been and always will be ( I think ),  I have the tattoos, t shirts, and some even say yellow and green blood to prove it. I have been a regular visitor to the carra for over 30 years and have never ever (not even in our darkest days) felt anything like i do at the moment. Let me explain because this has been building up for at least 3 seasons. I am at the stage where i am leaving the games 10 minutes early because i just can't bare to sit through it anymore, certain players are absolutely doing my head in, like croft for instance...run all day for you yes but acheive nothing, Hoolahan what a massive dissapointment epsecially for someone who was going to take the place of a certain Mr H, and don't even get me going on that one, and far too many more players to mention. Then there is this loan thing where we just seem to be a work Gym for other clubs, and do loan players really give a monkeys as to what badge they are wearing or just glad someone is paying their huge wage bill, and then there is all the talk about Delia and the rest of the board, people saying things like what has she done for this club and when will she sell us to some mega rich business man or consortuim etc etc. I can't even blame them for what is happening (can I ), just think without the support she and he hubby MJW have given to us over the past few years without it we could have been in league one years ago (couldn't we), Look at ip**** for instance they now have a shedfull of dosh and are only just above us at the mo. Now i move on to GR, he wasn't my choice that's for sure, is he doing a good job at the moment ? No not as far as i can see, it isn't an easy job that's for sure but i sometimes wonder what he is doing with team selections and tactics etc. So anyway i need you lot (If possible) to restore some faith into me, i must have missed some positives somewhere in my little rant (Haven't I)? I really am at a stage where i think to myself...can i really be bothered to go saturday or not, and if someone says "well at least we are playing nice football" they are obviously not going to the same matches i am.    Report

I feel GR is tactically naive sometimes, and really despair at his team positionings.  Is it all his fault, not really, the players just don't seem to have that hunger and passion, now if that's due to most of them not being our own players who knows. My only wish is for the team to do well, get some points on the board and lift the fans hopes, will that happen?  God alone knows the answer.

I think there are several Norwich fans who have become or who are becomming disillusioned with the club. I however know exactly who is to blame for our current downfall and the finger points at more than one person. In my eyes Roeder is as culpable as the board. His piss poor tactics and team selections are on par with the boards piss poor control of the finances. The neglect they have shown the team in the last three years is a disgrace. Things have gotten so bad that we dont even own our own squad! The players we do own are only slightly better than the loanees and they are quite frankly awful! Its Cullum or bust Im afraid. Im preparing for the worst.    Report

I really am at a stage where i think to myself...can i really be bothered to go saturday or not, and if someone says "well at least we are playing nice football" they are obviously not going to the same matches i am. I lost my faith in Norwich after QPR away last season. Despite all the massive build up, and promises, we failed, or should i say, the team and club failed in achieving that. I have no trust or faith in Norwich City, none what so ever. Why should i? When i do, they fail me at every turn. They have done nothing to deserve the trust and faith of the fans, and that will remain until they start fulfilling their promises, and the team start playing with with the passion and determination which they should. Up until then, there is no reason we should show faith. However, i would encourage Norwich fans to stick at it, and stay behind the club through thick and thin. Remember you don't have to go back that far to find that Hull City were on the verge of falling into conference, now they are third in the Premier League. Neither do you have to go that far back to find that Wigan Athletic had just avoided going into conference themselves. Clubs will meet adversity, some more often than others, and some more severe than others, but every cub is always capable of bouncing back, as you'll tend to find through adversity owners, fans and players will unite, fighting back stronger than ever, as a unit. And that should give you reason to keep at what you undoubtedly love. I'm not saying we won't get relegated this season, i'm not saying this club isn't a shambles, but i am saying you should keep hope, whatever the circumstances, cos one day it will pay off, and one day it will be ever so sweet....    Report

Since we've dropped from the Prem we've finished 9th, then 16th, then 17th, and now we are in 21st position... Now tell me how does that indicate we are not in a downward spiral we8wba? I appreciate having the view from an outsider, but if you support this club and follow news and events daily, you can tell we are getting more and more desperate and frustrated as every day goes by. We've been in trouble for 4 seasons we8wba, it's a bit of a long lasting bad patch isn't it? Our finances are going down the drain as well, topped off with some horrible heartless performances from our players. As a club, we are currently sinking there's no doubt about that. It's now just a question of how long it will take for us to rejuvenate, and start fighting back, but how much pain will we have to suffer until that day comes i wonder? Slighlty worse than last season? Relegation to League 1? Even League 2 football? Who knows...    Report

The club was so close to relegation last season....it was a warning call, have they chosen to ignore it? Slipping back into the NFI and SNAFU mode, till the sheet hits the fan mode.....PANIC! I am also still waiting for the new heroes? 8 nearly 9 loans? What's all that about? Crisis management? What really went on with Cullum (and Cullen)?....and all the other 'in's and out's'? Huckerby's departure, not so much that the manager supposedly felt it was time for a change - but the abject nature of hcuk's release. Forthcoming AGM that will be so, so, predictable.....(No Turner Two to keep a watchful eye on the CE).  Why did the Turner Two really bail out? Does the Colney Conservatory - really have diamonds encrusted in the glass? Is the current squad truly and honestly a team that will (after the loans booger off and are replaced by other loans) good enough for survival - let alone promotion? I look more forward to the socialising in the boozer after the games - than the games themselves..... Is their light at the end of the tunnel? Or, is it just The Donk, Delia, Mickey W and Roger (who's clutching a small maglite) coming toward us - taking turns each to pump the rail hand-cart that rolls 3 feet forward and 4 feet back? Are the finances, really robust? So many positives.......       "Give 'em enough rope"......    Report
