Reply | Now clear favourite to take over Man Utd

He's been the bookies favourite for 2 other jobs at much shorter odds inside a week. I think we have enough evidence now that we can stop taking bookies odds too seriously, can't we? |

I don't think it's as far as 5 years. This is really only happening for the first time right now.
It really is exceptional for ANY Premier League club to recruit a manager with no experience beyond the Championship. Even Crystal Palace, who were seriously interested in McKenna, ended up hiring a Europa League winner with Champions League experience.
Maresca and McKenna benefit from their coaching experience at City and United, but I'm still amazed that their stock is high enough that they're being seriously linked to jobs of this scale.
Consider that United's players famously found McKenna dull and uninspiring 2 years ago. It's an enormous gamble if it does prove to come to fruition. |

He'll definitely be on the watchlists of many clubs, but I can't see anyone firming up their interest until he has proven himself in the Premier League, and in the case of a 'Big 6', Europe. Even Crystal Palace, a middling club with average resources, ended up with a Europa League winner with Champions League experience. [Post edited 18 May 14:07]

Reply | Ed holding good on his promise to take the players out this evening….

The venue choice is absolute class from a global mega-star, too.
I went along to a good handful of Ed's early gigs. His mum used to make ceramic liquorice allsorts bracelets and sell them herself at the merch stand. I have that song on an EP in a card sleeve somewhere at home. When he signed for his first record label, he took a chair off the stage and performed this and a few other songs in the middle of crowd (a trick he's repeated a fair bit since I understand!).
If you showed my 17 year old self this video my head would have exploded. Surreal in the extreme to think where we've all come from. |

He travelled with the squad, saw him in one of the pre-match videos of them arriving.
Nothing too serious I guess, although it was mentioned by mas that 26 men travelled?! Who was it last season that said our entourage was like nothing they'd ever seen before? Spilling out into corridors etc.
Absolutely love that togetherness. |

Reply | Davis injury really doesn't sound great does it...

Yep, although it's useful to have someone with Davis' threat as it keeps their defenders honest and pins them into position, theoretically creating more space elsewhere.
Hopefully we'll have Broadhead back for Tuesday - I could see him and Clarke linking up well actually if we were to go for it. |

I imagine Clarke will go in, but as he's still managing an injury himself that could get tricky over 180+ minutes if we're asking him to bomb up and down. Maybe Harness ahead of him to offer a bit more protection?
We had that lopsided system in League 1 for a while didn't we, where almost everything was funnelled down our right with Burns and Donacien. |

I thought it was the keeper's mistake initially, but Morsy needs to sweep it left. He feints to try and roll his man and it's the wrong option.
Both players have been superb for us this season, and we do know that in 99% of cases we get away and build an attack from there. |

Interesting the video of the players arriving in the build-up on Town TV showed Broadhead had travelled. |

Reply | So, Norwich and WBA for the wins today?
at 10:29 27 Apr 2024
Do we think it'll make any difference to the outcome of our game today? I don't know if I do, to be honest.
The preparation is already done, Rosenior's been stirring up the players and fans with cup final talk, last home game of the season. They won't want to go out with a whimper, no matter how remote their chances are.
Perhaps the atmosphere in the ground will be very different, but some are talking like Hull will just down tools... and all at the moral expense of WANTING Norwich to win. Euuuurgh. |

Reply | I don’t want to make anyone even more nervous but..

I'm just trying not to get my hopes up in all honesty.
Edit: hit post prematurely.
Not enough jeopardy for me to make it a truly huge night. If results don't go our way (and the odds suggest they are unlikely to do so) we're still in control.
What a bloody evening it'll be if they nab something though! [Post edited 26 Apr 19:28]

I'm glad none of us are giving the team talks. I can imagine this turning up on the Pinkun later for being tinpot.
It's only huge if QPR get a result. If not, business as usual. |

Which also means they must have slipped up to lesser teams at least 2 x times more than us both to be where they are.
I take your general point though, I won't be expecting any favours! |
