I think yesterday was among the worst I’ve seen, ever

The worst part for me was the boring inevitability. Totally ineffective. Poor passing, no press, general low quality.

I don’t recall a time when there were so many matches, so regularly, where I, even as a one-eyed Norwich fan, would not put a single one of our players in the opposing team. A couple of seasons ago, Lewis and Aarons were coveted by the big teams, you could envisage Pukki being bought, obviously Buendía, Godfrey… now we are demonstrably worse in every position. Every one.

      - Nope, agree Jim. Suppose buying players is always (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 16:56:17
- I think sacking farke can be right even if smith doesn’t turn out to be the one (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 11:31:11
  - The reason Farke was sacked was because we had a squad capable of staying in the Prem (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Dec 27, 11:48:59
    - That’s not unreasonable (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 11:56:34

        Yes but when he had the squad available, the team was performing better under Smith than (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 27, 13:39:03
        
        Yes, unfortunately it has other competition for worst performance (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 12:17:50
        
        This. It’s so depressing. (n/m) (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Dec 27, 12:12:18
    - Yep, that’s my point too. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:53:20
      - And many pointed out at the time that was always likely to be the case (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 11:55:52
  - Agree and disagree Simon (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:41:34
