Let's stick with Paul Hurst 18:01 - Oct 21 with 4741 viewstrev1991

And I say that through gritted teeth. Yesterday I had to be reminded by my Nodge supporting house mate that he read on here after our match against them that "Ipswich have far more to be optimistic about than Norwich do".

He assured me at the time that was their worst performance in some time and he was surprised we couldn't beat them at their worst. I obviously took it as hyperbole. Since he came with me to Hull away with a couple of other mates I had agreed to go to Forest away yesterday. Even at forest, most of my time was spent looking at my phone for our score.

Firstly, Forest had some sale on and it was there highest attendance for some ridiculous amount of years, 29k the attendance was broadcast as over the tannoy. Nodge went 1-0 down to a Grabban goal which went down as well as you could imagine! Had a little chuckle to myself, and Forest were well on top.

But Nodge came back and for 70 minutes of the game absolutely dominated possession and played quick one touch passing to create several one-on-one chances. It was so polar different to the Hull game I made my mate watch and he didn't need to say anything to me. He just looked at me and I knew.

They are streets, and I mean streets, ahead of us. In the end, against an in-form Forest side away from home they ended up with more possession, 19 shots, 12 corners and worst of all, several youngsters in their side. When all the players came over at the end, there was a special bond with the players and fans. It sickens me to say but I was in awe, most likely because I wanted Hurst to be the one to bring that togetherness back. Last time I felt similar was play-offs under Mick.

However, here's my biggest point. I don't think Hurst is the problem. It's recruitment and scouting. It shouldn't be all left to the manager like we do. They have a head coach and sporting director setup. Some of their best players were admittedly young players from the academy but freebie strikers like Teemu Pukki (who i dont think played), germans like Leitner (who has been in a champions league final squad and is still only 25) and wingers like Hernandez cost very little money and limited wages - but they're so far ahead of our signings it's unreal.

There's not too many bargains in English football anymore. But I think they still exist abroad. And this club needs to move with the times.

The league positions don’t lie

I thought both teams were even during the derby

Since then Norwich have kicked in and are sitting in the play offs and well the less said the better

The point is form turns and Paul will sort it out

Keep the faith


Blind optimism.

There is nothing to suggest he can turn it around.

Interesting that at 1704 yesterday he was not looking forward to his mate coming home because they won but today he reckons that he went to Forest with him.

"Blind Optimism".

For a nodger, this is what they want us to have.

They have already booked an open top bus for a Relegation Tour of Suffolk! Their sisters will be allowed up top.

Plus a trophy cabinet for the undefeated derby champions.

Is it not fair to assume you meant your Norwich supporting mate then.

The one you live with. You must remember.

It is very confusing.

Are we talking about the one he went to Forest with or the one that he was dreading coming home?

The one whose account he was posting from the other day.

Oh no. That was his Norwich supporting housemate who posted the other day.

This is the Town fan who just continuously posts about Norwich and goes to see them play.

Whilst simultaneously waiting at home.
