    "I just think it's been a really, really great performance. It's what the fans have needed, it's what the players have needed and it will give them confidence to build on."

    He continued, "I know people say it's too early to be talking about the play-offs, but lets give some of these young lads some play-off experience, let's strive for that and see how far we go."

  15. Your views on Norwich City's transfer window so farpublished at 17:57 19 January 2024

    Your views

    We asked for your views on Norwich City's transfer dealings so far in January.

    On Friday it was announced that midfielder Adam Forshaw had signed for Plymouth.

    Here's what you had to say:

    Sam - Absolute rubbish. It's an opportunity to strengthen the midfield and get a proper Tettey-type CDM in. This would allow players like Nunez and Sara to push forward and play in a more attacking role.

    Jeremy - After the win against Hull City, I think Norwich City have done well. I think they should sign more experienced players that can score goals.

    David - Slow so far. Springett to the Cobblers on loan and Forshaw to Plymouth. Most things seem to revolve around Jonny Rowe - the lad has said he will stay till the summer and then talk with the club. Premier League clubs have been sniffing about, but I think he will stay.

    Adam - Seems the club aren’t keen to spend much, if any, money this transfer window as they have little faith in Wagner and are waiting til the summer to start a refresh. They’re banking on fans sticking around after three abject seasons with very little communication and absolutely no clear vision as to what the project is. Apathy has set in a big way.

    David - The new head of football Mr Knapper (Norwich's sporting director) is like the invisible man. There does not seem to be a plan and we are playing poorly. The club needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

    Ben - Regarding the departure of Forshaw - isn’t this starting to get embarrassing for the recruitment team? A massive list of write-off signings over the last few years. The recruitment needs to be held account for it a lot more than they are.
