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. Little did I expect, though, that our nearest and dearest, with whom we lock horns in less than a fortnight, would provide the week's talking point, one that usurped the World Cup Playoff semifinals and England's international draw with Uruguay.

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•10mo

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•10mo

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•10mo

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."

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.

The bigger picture at NCFC ... and it's not pretty!Since Daniel Farke was sacked in 2021, Norwich City FC has been drifting.

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.
