MONDAY MARDLE: The case for the defence - Norwich City-styleLast week, I took a look at Ben Knapper and hopefully provided a balanced view on his recent form. This week, I'm moving onto the pitch and starting at the back. I'll work my way forward over the next few weeks, looking at where, in my opinion, we need to strengthen and where we need to trim.

"We're only making plans for Nigel" ... that Ruairi McConville ... and other NCFC stuffIf you're an editor of a football site, international breaks are a nightmare. The lack of productivity this week on MFW tells the story. Sorry.

PETITION: Remove Ben Knapper as Norwich City sporting directorFor over two years, supporters of Norwich City Football Club have watched on with mounting frustration as Ben Knapper, the club's Sporting Director, has overseen a series of disappointing, often baffling, decisions that have led to repeated failures and poor performance on and off the field.

Transitional Purgatory: How Norwich City Lost Its WayIt's 2002. I'm 8 years old. It's my first ever football match. Norwich beat Watford 4-0. A day I will never forget, as I fell head over heels for football and Norwich City. Twenty-three years later, I have witnessed five promotions and six relegations, four league titles, one runners-up, and a playoff final win at Wembley.

norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com•11mo

The silence is deafening. NCFC destined to be in perpetual transition?So, 16 years unbeaten in the East Anglian Derby comes to an end, as we knew it would eventually. In fairness, with Ipswich just down from the Premier League, and us, frankly, in a bit of a mess, in all likelihood, we probably knew what was going to happen, and it doesn't feel as bad as I thought it would.

norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com•11mo

Malaise at Norwich City. Who's to blame, and what's the solution?I'd better start with a disclaimer. The answers - at least any that I can come up with - aren't quite as simple or direct as the questions. But we can try to dissect the issues and reflect on causes - in particular, things which have made the situation worse than it might have been.

norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com•11mo

Probably the lowest ebb Norwich City has found itself since 2009"We understand there'll be bumps in the road, but our responsibility is to build a team that people can look at and understand what it is we're trying to do. When the time comes, if patience is needed, that will make it easier for people to afford that to us."

norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com•11mo

Knapper and Webber fiddle as Norwich City FC burnsIt's not like we didn't see it coming. Still hurts though. But it's not so much the defeat itself that stings; it's the almost inevitable way they folded in the second half, with, after a bright-ish first half, performance levels falling off a cliff. As did the 16-year/14-game record.

norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com•11mo

The bigger picture at NCFC ... and it's not pretty!Since Daniel Farke was sacked in 2021, Norwich City FC has been drifting. Nearly four years on, four different managers have walked through the Carrow Road doors - Dean Smith, David Wagner, Johannes Hoff Thorup, and now Liam Manning - yet the only thing the club has mastered is the art of standing still.

Yes, Carrow Road is a 'library'. What do they expect?As the Barclay End clock ticked onto 61 minutes, my River End neighbour turned to me. "We're not scoring tonight, are we". It wasn't a question. It was un-Andrew-like (yes, that's his name). He's generally the voice of reason, not prone to snap judgments, and, unlike me, thinks before he speaks, even in the heat of Championship battle.

Carrow Road will not tolerate excuses forever...When Liam Manning was unveiled there was a palpable sense of renewal around Carrow Road. Finally, someone who will understand how important this club is to the city. After all Manning was born in Norwich, so who better to grasp what the Canaries mean to their supporters?

norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com•12mo

Canaries turn to play roles of hapless extras in Hollywood docu-soapAs we enter what's now been coined 'Game Week 6' with a 100 per cent record of home defeats this season, what's needed is a period of calm.

VIDEO: How did NCFC suffer another season of underperformance?After a 13th-place finish, instant cup exits and ending up without a manager, the 2024-25 season can only be deemed a disappointment for City.

A positive shift in the mood music as Carrow Road warms to a decent showingAs 0-0 draws go, that was pretty decent. The reaction of the crowd said as much.
