Mate, we were absolutely awful when we went down to league 1 but some fans still thought they deserved standing ovation. |
And a misty-eyed rendition of a Bob Marley classic.
Hideously dark days. |  |

Yes, about recognising the effort. We had been relegated for a good while. Everyone was resigned and used to the idea. That day we beat Bielsa's Leeds at home with a 90th minute winner. What's not to like about that. I applauded them and certainly don't regret it. They were a poor side, but they tried their best. It was about saying we recognise it has not been good, but we will be with you next year. Through thick and thin. |
Indeed, but they really took the pizz out of us all over the next two seasons, didn’t they? I think in some respects, I found the collective s***ting of the bed when well placed in successive League One seasons to be more offensive than the relegation was. I’ve never seen a Town team look less interested in trying to achieve something. The whole team became a collective Jon Nolan, go in, play the match, pick up the cheque and then try and get out of there without being noticed.
Norwich are now going through that themselves. And even if they find a McCarthy figure to turn them around this season, the rot is truly setting in there. [Post edited 7 Nov 7:58]

I wasn't there so I can't really comment on the "vibe" but surely it was morew like "appreciate the effort".
That side certawinly didn't lack effort, they were just sh!te! |
It was. It obviously wasn't a "standing ovation". |  |

i'll bow to your knowledge of norwich's players, (from what i've seen they look very poor) but by my reckoning bart/trevoh/pennington/knudsen/downes/jackson all went on to better things than rock bottom of the championship
i think mick would have kept that team up (even cook and keane), wouldn't have been pretty, but the ingredients were there [Post edited 6 Nov 14:23]

Chalobah may have gone onto better things, but there's no escaping he was absolutely crap for us in that team.
Pennington also did nothing of note after leaving. Much like while he was here...
I'd query your point on KJ too, but there is, at least, some debate to be had there... |  |

chalobah was raw, sure, but the potential was there for a competent manager
pennington played at championship level, which was the question i was responding to
jackson played a key part in our promotions and is still playing at championship level 7 years on | |

I thought our fans did themselves proud that season.
Ultimately, the fans can't do anything other than support the team. We can't get out there and score goals. So we did that, it failed, and we responded with what I saw as a bit of dark humour, and a bit of 'we'll be here no matter what.'
Lining up to boo the players and abuse them wouldn't have changed the relegation from the Championship, and I can't imagine it would've fired the team up to do any better the following season.
I get the anger - I've definitely shouted and sworn at players from the stands when we've been rubbish before - but ultimately, I can't think of a time it's actually benefitted the team or pushed them on to do better.
I'm sure they were well aware that we weren't particularly pleased about being relegated. | | | |

Pennington had 14 games at Hull the season after and has been an average L1 defender ever since.
Jackson was a bit part player in a Championship team that got promoted and has done ok at Derby. He's turned into a Championship squad player (who has undoubtedly got better since that 2018/19 season) but it's a serious stretch to list him as a player a competent manager could have made a real difference maker.
We lost some good players from 2017/18 - Waghorn, Webster, Carter-Vickers, Connolly, Celina, Garner, McGoldrick. Then we replaced them with players that were by and large crap and had zero Championship experience. It was a dreadful squad. [Post edited 7 Nov 12:14]

This should be pinned by Phil at the top of the board.
For years I've witnessed people on here mocking those of us who "gave a standing ovation for relegation". You've expressed what it actually was better than I've seen anyone else do. POTY. | |

It's scary going through the rest of that squad. Jordan Graham, Simon Dawkins, Ellis Harrison, Jordan Roberts, Danny Rowe. |  | | |

I swear we had a run of half a dozen games or so where we were playing Jordan Graham as our number 9? | | | |

Statistically we might have been in similar positions but from there we failed to compete with Bolton in administration and finished behind them. Whether nodge can achieve that feat time will tell but they still have some way to go to match us. |  |

Or Gary Roberts? I am sure we had 2 or 3 players who had the same surname or first name as each other and were very much ordinary squad players. | |

Gary Roberts never played up front.
