Tomasson is an interesting one. Thought he did a great job in challenging circumstances at Blackburn, but he’s just been sacked after a pretty miserable spell with Sweden. Does he bring the energy and momentum required by #NCFC?

Just a ridiculously poor half of football from #NCFC. No ideas, no creativity, no purpose, no urgency. They look like they’re going through the motions.

Pretty good first half performance from #NCFC, but they again failed to make their chances count. The usual script is that Hull will change something at HT and Norwich won’t be able to cope. Let’s see if it repeats itself.

🔰 Stacey out of Hull with concussion
🔰 Setback on Chrisene, out for another couple of weeks
🔰 Forson could feature
🔰 Fans have right to protest but he wants “everything” from them during game

Interesting chat with Liam Manning. Key takeaways:
🔰 Ante Crnac out until end of the season at least.
🔰 Chat had with Shane Duffy, conduct after Derby might affect selection.
🔰 Forson back in training next week.
🔰 Manning has been told he’s the man to take #NCFC forward.

Derby are poor, but that was a reasonably strong half from #NCFC. Dominated possession and moved the ball well, but lacked the quality in the box. All to play for in the second half.

Lucien Mahovo’s absence from the #NCFC squad not down to a fresh injury. Believed to be fitness management as he continues recovery from previous quad issue. Liam Manning will update post-match.

Think the reason #NCFC losing that 16-year streak feels so significant is that there’s now very little tying them to the glory years of 2009-2022. Kenny McLean the only player and everything off the pitch feels completely different. Even the badge has changed.

What a huge day it is for #NCFC and Liam Manning. The club’s first ever Norwich-born head coach goes into his first East Anglian derby knowing it has the potential to shape his time at the club in one way or the other. Here are his thoughts 👇

Canaries' local boy out to avoid another unwanted record
In many ways this would be one of the most painful of East Anglian derbies for Norwich City to lose.

It’s derby day tomorrow! And derbies need impact players 💥
So, with the help of @samuelseaman.bsky.social of the @thepinkun.bsky.social I’ve had a look at the two likely starting XI’s and benches and given everyone a likely impact rating 🔥

#NCFC have revealed big stadium plans. In the short-term they’ll move away fans to the River End and create a fan zone outside the Barclay, but it’s the start of a process they hope ends with City Stand expansion. A lot of focus on increasing matchday revenue too.

The intent from #NCFC looked a lot better to me, and they’re controlling the game pretty high up the pitch. But there’s no clear pattern to create chances. Combine that with a poorly-defended goal and that’s why they’re behind.

A big game for #NCFC for a variety of reasons. Some surprising omissions from that line-up, but looks like one that Liam Manning is trying to control the game with. Let’s see if he succeeds.

The #NCFC style of play question is an interesting one. Clearly after JHT, Ben Knapper wanted more of a balance.
While proactive football can be achieved pragmatically, I think they need to be much more attacking to achieve that balance. My column 👇

Samuel Seaman: Time for Manning to take City's handbrake off
After a series of uninspiring attacking performances from Norwich City, Samuel Seaman wonders if it's time for Liam Manning to let his players loose.

It certainly wasn’t pretty, but #NCFC grew into that half. They didn’t give away too many real chances, and although offensively they haven’t done loads, they’ve done enough to have the lead. Much better response to the opener than at Coventry.
