I mean it most sincerely when I say I hope that both you and Coventry have hugely successful, long, exhausting, debilitating cup runs. Caveat - provided Coventry still have enough strength to beat Norwich to 6th while losing the league game against us. [Post edited 17 Mar 10:53]

I know we’ve scored from a few when Leif has picked out Chappers, or from second phase when the ball has dropped nicely in the box, but when was the last time we scored a good old-fashioned Beattie-esque bullet header direct from the first ball in? Can’t remember one for ages. Moore climbing over two defenders to attack the ball for the first was a joy to see. Gives us a completely different weapon. |

….. but there will be few teams who will be able to play the way they need to in order to take advantage. Leeds high press caused us more problems than others, but mainly because the second press of Ampadu, Kamara and Piroe stopped us playing through Morsy and Luongo. But that’s some serious pace and technical ability in their front six. We had to try and by-pass the midfield and play it into Hirst, who was very well marshalled and totally outnumbered most of the time, or tried to hit Burns or Davis from distance and Spence and Gray just stepped up and picked off the pass. We have had, and will continue to have, a lot of success playing that way and I can’t see McKenna abandoning the system because of one game. Will be interesting to see what his Plan B is though, as there really didn’t seem to be one yesterday. |

…. Town have scored 199 goals since McKenna took over on 20th December 2021. Unless something pretty woeful happens in the next three games, 200+ goals in under two calendar years is just insane. |

Seem to be incensed with the three teams promoted to the Prem, who are currently offering nothing and look destined to come straight back down. I get that it shows a horrible gulf between Champ and Prem, and offers very little hope for any team with genuine aspiration for promotion. I’m just not sure why THEY find it so objectionable bearing in mind it is straight out of the Norwich Premiership Promotion Plan. |

Norwich’s points total so far this season puts them closer to the relegation places than it does to us. |

So how much is our sell-on fee? |
| Forum Thread | If Ashton was the one to ultimately choose McKenna… at 00:46 27 Apr 2023
…. then what an inspired, and brave, choice. You’d think he would have had a decent (for League 1) amount of money available to make the appointment. Could have easily thrown that money at a high-profile old head to try and appease his bosses with a higher likelihood of promotion than a largely unheard of young coach who had never managed before. He bought vision, clarity, calmness, passion, intelligence, an abundance of talent and, from everything I’ve seen so far, a huge amount of potential. Hindsight tells us what an excellent appointment McKenna has been, but the courage to take the gamble in the first place can’t be understated. |
