There's an opportunity to turn things around today. Mark Attanasio's input this week could steady the nerves (both on the pitch and in the stands), and Hull are beatable, even if we haven't shown many signs of beating anyone lately.
Backing us to get the win. Then roll on Wednesday.

Today I'll be tuning in for the #Imps game against Leyton Orient, following along while my mate attends.
An incredible start to the season, and a real example of how a properly united club (from board to bench) can create an engine that punches well above its weight.

Finally brought myself to watch the #ncfc highlights. Against an admittedly poor Derby, there were honestly some excellent moments at both ends.
I try not to be knee jerk as a fan. I asked how Manning could come back, but a decent run would change everything. Football's mercurial, it could happen.

Normally I'd give a manager more time (including JHT, fwiw).
I struggle to see how Manning comes back. He can't get this squad firing, and I'm still convinced there's talent there.
I don't think it was an unwise appointment, it's just not working, and it could still get worse.

That's frustrating. We weren't dreadful by any stretch, and there are some real players there, but it felt worryingly low on confidence and imagination. Vulnerable on the counter and nervous on the break.
Maybe I should have stayed checked out.

Have sort of mentally checked out football-wise over the past couple of weeks, what with the new school term. Tonight's the first time I've been able to watch the Canaries live in a while.
Struggling to get grips with what isn't clicking in the Norwich camp. Any insights?

Flip the saga: Ipswich are signing an injury-prone, inconsistent player who's unproven above the Championship. They're paying multiples of his value in the last 10 months of his contract. And he's at Norwich.
If this is how panicky their recruitment is, I'd be more worried as a Binner.

Get why it hurts when it's a rival, but I'm struggling to get too wound up about it. He doesn't want to stay, his contract is up soon, and they're prepared to pay silly money.
Take away the "lovely jubbly," and he's hardly set the world on fire and is injury prone. Good riddance.

Understand that #NCFC’s midfielder Marcelino Núñez is set to join #ITFC for a package worth an initial £7.5m+£2.5m in ‘achievable bonuses’. City keen to keep him but he’s rejected two contract offers. Pelle Mattsson set to be his replacement for £2.7m + £300k add-ons.

Plugging one of my favourite people in the football media: Ben has been running @ncfc-analysis.bsky.social for a while now, and he's the best in the business. So insightful, whether or not you're a Norwich fan.
He's also been good enough to venture into Bluesky, so show him some love.

Pressing issues, deep build-up escapes, a lack of attacking threat, backs to goal, & tactical tweaks.
Have a read of my first match analysis article of the season. Shares appreciated.

Feeling pretty positive about Norwich going into the first game of the season. I'll be honest, I was really concerned at the end of 24/25, but Manning looks to be a wise appointment, and the squad is looking far stronger.
Now to prove it.

The football season is underway, so take a moment to talk about mental health. Speaking as someone with depression, I can confidently say that it's not always obvious.
Check in, because you might just save a life.
(And, again, so proud of my club for this campaign.)

My two-year-old just pointed at the canary on the NCFC crest and called it a "Norwich pigeon."

A really bittersweet transfer for me.
With my Imps hat on, I'm gutted to see him leave, as I think he had a big part to play this season, but the money is huge.
As a Canary, I'm excited, as he has massive potential and deserves the opportunity.
A good deal all round.

Jovon Makama Becomes City’s First £1 Million Player
It's official: Jovon Makama has completed a permanent transfer to Norwich City for a club record transfer fee. The Canaries will pay an undisclosed amount for Makama, but it is a club record. My understanding is that the upfront fee, before add-ons, is around £1.5 million, comfortably making him our first £1m footballer. The 21-year-old joined the Imps as a 15-year-old and signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2021/22 season and has since gone on to make 97 senior appearances, scoring 15 goals.

The EFL is back and all is right in the world again.
Hoping for a statement win for Lincoln. Feel like we have the foundations to do well, but it's going to be a tough competition this season, and a lot would need to align for a playoff push.
