π΅οΈββοΈ Transcript:
it’s time to take a little look ahead to Norwich versus Lucent town and we head to the east coast my geography is terrible I mean the East it’s not the coast the East it’s not the coast it’s East Anglia we head to East Anglia and one person who’s going to be there is my co-host it’s Mark Ryman how are we going on Mark we head to the finest City in the UK I think you will find um the place of my birth Norwich I know it very very well I’m getting on fine I’m looking forward to going back home I’m not so much looking forward to what happens between three and about 10 to 5 um but hopefully by then I’d have been to a fair few pubs um so it will make it easier to handle it’s going to be an interesting one uh but before we discuss it first I’d like to issue an apology there was a post that was um it went out on our YouTube account and it was shared widely uh across social media of Rob Edwards uh he was photoshopped to look like a clown look I’m I’m sorry I was very angry and it was actually an inhouse meme that that was just circulated amongst the okay football team and I took it too far I posted it onto our YouTube and it’s uh it’s gone out but it’s it’s been deleted now but that doesn’t excuse the fact that it was posted like I I am really sorry about it um but that that it doesn’t paper over the cracks of the current situation but we’ll discuss it um but we should probably head into this recap and let’s have a look at leads three Len nil leads three l to nil and quite frankly Ryman we didn’t turn up did we nope no no it didn’t turn up um I’m going to um shout out to Matt aino on X I think nothing says the situation better than his thread if you haven’t seen it check it out um it’s a long one but it’s a good one worth a read um it certainly puts it more eloquently than me the situation with Rob at the moment and and how we’re playing um yeah 3-0 against leads away from home on the face of it you go okay they’re the best side in the league but to be honest um I was saying this to uh my nephew who was down there at the game or up there should I say wait for the for the people that are watching and don’t know your your your family situation your nephew is like a six foot tall 30-year-old called Toby who who look older than you I mean he he’ll be happy at the six tool description um the bit where he looks older than me is interesting yeah we’re 10 years apart almost of the day actually so it yeah um yeah but we don’t look it he’s a lot more he’s a lot more optimistic than I am though that’s the sign of his youth that’s the the only sign that he’s younger is the the naivity of his optimism um but no um to be fair to him we we tend to agree most most of the time this season um and I think you know he looked at it and and we both look at it as 3-0 against leads fair enough but if you actually look at the play there’s a couple of things to point out I mean firstly I looked at the lineup and to be fair I went yeah all right miles playing Krauss is playing we’ve got a defensive Midfield maybe we’re playing 433 maybe we’re playing 5-32 but with Moses on the right and Bell on the left all right it’s probably not what I’d go for but fine I get it and then it turns out that we’re playing people in the wrong position with Moses on the left to apparently deal with Dan James he wasn’t playing oh I mean he came on later and scored of course um and then we’ve got Solomon up against ree Burke who already got done for Pace time and time again against Hull and we haven’t learned our lesson and put him out there he’s our best center back in my opinion and in most people’s opinion he is wasted as a wing back there is no way on Earth that Reese Burke is a wing back fullback may be a push but he is not a wing back so um playing players out of position doesn’t help we allowed them in after 10 minutes we allowed a shot that gets blocked to just watch it again all Sheffield United first goal when we let it bounce in front of two players it very similar to that we just watched it they go ahead after 10 minutes it’s game over basically right we we we showed next to no fight um they were in straight from kickoff mate yeah they were yeah yeah and you know they’re going to have majority of the play and I’m not delusional to think that the leads aren’t going to dominate that game and fair play by the way leads were excellent they were Head and Shoulders above any team I’ve seen in this in this league but you know let’s be honest every team in the league has given them more of a game than we have they can’t have had an easier game this season or last season it was even QPR were better at Ellen road yeah it was appalling and well we didn’t get near them we couldn’t get near them it was it was it was an atrocious performance it really was um and you know Rob said afterwards that they were the better team well yeah they were the better team but we didn’t even turn up we didn’t get near them we string two passes together right that’s exactly I was going to say that’s what frustrated me the most is that we’re not going to have much of the ball but when we do have the ball just passing it straight back to them letting it bounce off us like you know their their boots are made of trampolines I EV every single time I mean Clark was probably the best at keeping hold of the ball and fair play to him created the chance for Moses as well yeah absolutely created that chance and you could argue very unlucky not to put that away but you know apart from that the ball was bouncing off us we were sloppy with our passing or you’re just hoofing it straight out of play you know it was really frustrating really frustrating there was no press mid low high no press whatsoever and we just we didn’t ever look like we were going to threaten I mean Leeds Leeds had the the 90% of the pitch to play their football in and then get down the side still at will so even though we’re we’re in defending in our own box basically they’re still getting down the flanks and beating us for Pace how is that even possible to have those two things combined um yeah it it was really disappointing and if leads weren’t leads about it you know it it could have been far worse and by that I that’s no disrespect to leads it really isn’t but they don’t tend to put teams to the sword like middlesbor had done prior to to this week um otherwise it’ be another five six um and it could well be at the weekend as well but we’ll talk about that in a minute we will we will uh but that’s enough of a recap I don’t want to talk about that game anymore n it’s all right it’s all right look it’s been a a rough 48 hours was for everyone um but let’s take a look at what team could turn out against Norwich it’s time for team news in terms of team news so Reese Burke is injured he was taken off a halim against Leeds although it wasn’t his finest game he had he had like probably our best chance of the game and he headed it like about five yards wide um and also for their goal I don’t know he he was he was on his bike wasn’t he I don’t know what was I I don’t know do I don’t know either he was on his pero had the easiest goal of the Season uh I would say um and it’s again Alfie Dy ruell Watters hopefully hashioka should be starting in his actual position right wing back MH um surely jet or whatever reason that’s kept him out of the leads game is done um because I don’t know who else can play right wing back Victor Moses you’d think would play right wing back but like is it you know we got to do something different yeah I I mean I get the argument that Bell isn’t a left wing back I get it um so player four um play full backs because I think hash is probably more of a fullback than a wing back if you ask me but um I think that’s probably his better position as well and player four um and that that’s probably harsh on holes as I think Leeds was as well but I guess in the center back sense with with Burke out as as good as he is Center back’s the one position we we have got back up in and I would be fine with home slotting in I think he’s good but yeah I mean it’s just playing players in the right position so Bell on the left as either a fullback or a wing back surely um but yeah for me a forward makes the most sense if if we’ve got those players available with no doubt to yeah but you know what Rob Edwards keeps doing the same thing which is a back five or a back three 352 um we wanted the three in the middle uh to be honest I I thought well marvelous nber let’s talk about marvelous nber I I don’t think he’s going to play because this will be his fifth game in a row he was taken off early um Liam Walsh maybe he’ll start because he wasn’t in the was the all this yeah he wasn’t in the squad at all he wasn’t on the bench shanon Baptist came on um honestly I’ve given up trying to predict the the starting 11 yeah well it’s clear that Rob doesn’t know his best 11 and I’m not sure I do but we need some consistency you know because players aren’t going to be able to consistently perform if they’re not in the team now I get the argument if you’re consistently underperforming fine but then with some players like Clark will stay on the team regardless so you know it seems a bit one rule for one and one rule for another I mean um I’d say Chong probably has to come in um he’s probably the freshest but yes int defensive midfielder I’m I’m not sold on Krauss being the the one defensive midfielder for me he’s not he’s not that role he’s not an aamber he’s great player but I think he only works his best role if he’s got someone there behind him um yeah Baptist of course rested maybe it’s time for p right yeah maybe it would be good to see at least him get a shout in I I really do you know um but well we’ve barely seen him so we can’t really assume uh Zack Nelson’s not really featured recently um so I can’t see him um looking that way and then it’s yeah I mean who do you play up front as well it’s going to be a decision Jo Taylor got 30 minutes um but was that Rob trying to appease the fans um I honestly don’t know but that game was a bit of a pointless one to bring him on because we weren’t passing forwards uh yeah it i’ love to see Joe Taylor start you know there might be a bit more well noric won’t control the ball as much as say a leads so potentially if we are sending Bulls in the channel Joe Taylor can then chase them pretty sure he’s a norford boy as well Joe Taylor I might be wrong I know he’s obviously play for peterb which is Cambridge here but I think he’s I think he’s norfor boy but um so maybe um but yeah I mean look he he played for half an hour so and you’re right he didn’t get any service whatsoever neither did anyone really but but in in that kind of game I don’t mind it so much because at least he has the opportunity to run in behind and then you can blame other players for why those those balls were or The Bravery on the ball or final product as to why the balls weren’t coming over as well I suppose but yeah I don’t know um I think I was I was looking at it as a 433 as a possible lineup against leads and I still think that’s a really good option um you’ve got players like Moses on one side you could use Brown as a as a as another Winger as we did in the Premier League at least in the first half of it I I think that’s a good option of either Eli or Morris probably be Morris he’ be desperate weren’t he to play against his old team but I think that gives us some options and some support up there because you know even though both of them are now scored neither of them look themselves at the moment I mean Morris again I he didn’t get much of the service but he didn’t look great Eli had a really good chance with his head that just spooned Over the Bar um he he just looks still bre of confidence he’s still like 15 big chances this season yeah it’s pretty alarming yeah and it’s going to a bit like with a lot of these things it’s going to take more than the odd game to change that but I just think the more support they have that up there the better if we really want to get something from the game but yeah uh yeah as you said your guesses as good as mine right it’s what we want but we know that what we want and what we get are probably likely to be two different things true but you know there’s no point trying to guess it let’s have a look at some previous counters as always if you want to have a look at every single game that’s been played between Lucent toown and Norwich you need to head over to hattis heritage. co.uk I’m going to put the link in the description of this video so check it out because it’s a tremendous resource and there’s just been an update where you can actually have a look at non-playing staff so you can have a look at bios for managers Club directors and we’re going to be adding ground staff and other members of staff that weren’t playing staff it’s honestly it’s a tremendous heritage site I recommend you check it out but I I’m stuck here with fotmob I’m looking at the last six games between Lucen and norch it does it’s not exactly going back to 1920 but you know this one goes back to January 2013 so last six games what do you reckon the spread is I think we’ve done pretty well we’ve got a good record against Norwich um not a carose so much although we did win there last time so how many games are we out of did he say last six so six out of the last six I think we’ve just edged it maybe one four maybe three we won five and nor have won one right okay yeah yeah no dra no draws we’ve done incredibly well but what game sort of sings to you because for me it’s the one nil away yeah non League final Premier League our Cup Final the the cup game the cup game yeah followed up by mil wall though wasn’t it know right what what an anti clim no um yeah what a what a game that was and and renale and everything else and um wasn’t even on telly um disg graceful um yeah I mean I I there’s a few that stick out I thought you might say that one um unsurprisingly what a game it was um last season sorry last season season before last rather last season in the championship I mean we beat them twice the Morris goal was he now that was under that was his first that was his first no Swansea first go Swansea was his first but it was quite a simar goal this was a fantastic goal Alan Campbell laid it on for him and then he had like three men to be he did a little step overed it in curled it straight into the cornering brilliant goal um um didn’t celebrate what a result that was and it was a yeah it was under Nathan Jones wasn’t it was quite early on in the season that we scored that they we really set down a marker for us and then of course the reverse at Kenworth road with Cory woodro coming on we’re down to 10 men Osho getting himself sent off um to Win It 3-2 I mean that that as a game for me is probably what was the start of getting us promoted believing that we can actually do this it really was and um and it was obviously that was actually 2-1 I will say that was 21 I say 32 sorry you did say 32 yeah there weren’t that many all the best games for 3-2 sorry I’ve just put it under 3-2 in my head yeah yeah what but what a goal from woodro as well and yeah and and it was a great game and it’s a great game and obviously it’s our our our start under Edwards it kick started our season didn’t it yeah great and and you know it was great from Edwards as well you know great positive changes proactive and we really thought this this was this added the attacking spark to the kind of regimented way we played under Jones and though the combination is what got us up and obviously it feels even more so now because we are so desperately missing a lot of that but yeah those two games and then Carlos Edwards scoring from close to the halfway line at home when we were in championship in the O what was yes what a sh yeah just the way that that it went over so slowly beautiful oh who was the goalkeeper that wasn’t Bryant gun was it no years after yeah the way the keeper just got Bamboozled by it and it just dropped in so slowly it was tremendous well as you can imagine coming from Norwich I know quite a lot of Norwich fans and a few season ticket holders as well so uh it was it’s always fun when we beat them that get straight on the text I might have my phone on silent unfortunately I’m going to be with him after the game so there’s not much I can do about that but yeah quite a few really good memories against norch definitely yeah well let’s hope that continues I’m not too optimistic right well you know what let’s kick this over to Phil Phil’s met with the the opposition and he’s getting the the low down on which Norwich might turn up because they’ve been consistent inconsistent take it away Phil thank you Wally and thank you Mark today I’m going to be speaking to Adam hany from the pinkin podcast which is the Norwich City Podcast Norwich are off the back of a absolute Ming of Plymouth Aral they’ve absolutely smashed them to pieces with a 6-1 Victory they’ve also scored a couple of goals against West Brom so they’ll be absolutely brooming with confidence that player that we all hate but love to mention the guy is an absolute exceptional player but it’s a real worry if you’re the upcoming opposition and that’s boures SS um what a player what a player um I think that their own manager has said that it’s going to be a real TR tough task to keep him in January so um the Hatters are in for another tough away day but we’ve got some happy memories um up there at Cara Road um likes of renell or with JJ O’Donnell running down the wing and becoming the first non-league team to beat that that Premier League side back then but uh that was a long time ago um and things are very different right now uh Luton themselves are coming off the back of a 3- loss away to leades United which a lot of us expected um a lot of us know that our way form is uh is pretty poor at the minute uh we just can’t seem to find the right formula which is a is a shame I’m sure that Rob Edwards is working on it with the guys um and yeah we’re just going to have to go up to Norwich and just give it a bloody good go um the fixture list after this we’ve got a couple of home games and things look a lot more doable in terms of picking up some of those points but we need we need some consistency um and that that’s the most important thing moving forwards that we need some consistency and we’re going to have to use the squad which uh the the more fit players we’ve got the better uh that’s one positive thing at the moment is that we do have um some fit players which is really really good but um let’s talking about Luton let’s uh do my job and speak a bit about Norwich City so again I’ve got Adam here from the pinkin podcast hello everyone so um as per my introduction I’ve got Adam here um from the pinkin um the first question I’m going to ask you Adam if it’s okay just to shed some light because you’re you’ve got a really unique name for a show um and I just wonder where where does that come from where’s the tie in with with nor city right yeah so it’s um basically the local newspaper here in Norwich the Eastern Daily Press and the Norwich Evening News uh previously back in the day there was sort of SE separate segment of that the newspaper around Norwich which was uh of course printed on pink paper back in the day so the football supplement was the pinkin um so you speak to anyone of sort of that generation they’ll tell you about Saturday night they used to head down the news agents and they’d pick up the pinkin from uh select place um thankfully we’ve still that within within the newspaper so on a Saturday and a Monday There’s a pink and pull out which is about eight or nine pages Now sort around norch city and and the games uh we still have the sports page s during the during the week but um that’s kind of the I suppose the you know origins of the name and then we’ve kind of given the digital nature now of the world we’re got the pink and website with all the Norwich news out and we sort of have the podcast and the YouTube channel which is um yeah goes by the same name so yeah kind of got an interesting backstory but but that’s sort of the main part of it I love that proper Heritage I really really like that I’ve got a lot of time for that we I’ve I’ve uh I’ve been fortunate enough to sit and talk to a lot of um a lot of lot of fans this year from various different podcasts and stuff and that’s a properly unique name so I’m glad that I got that out of my system to ask you that Adam so thank you um so Adam you you just said about your your your socials which is which is great so it’s it’s a really memorable um name to to to have um but what I want to do is talk to you about about footy um and uh obviously you you’ve come off the back of giving our gal an absolute hiding at your place which um I was just saying to you off air wasn’t I about how happy you must be in comparison to how quite Glam I am so um what what’s sort of changed because the the reality of it is that your form before the international break was was was pretty shocking um and you’ve come back you’ve you’ve scored two goals um against West Brom you’ve you’ve to my eye I thought that you were the better side and then you’ve gone and given um a team an absolute Pas in um so so is there players back is it just a change in mentality what’s what’s the scenario Adam you speak to me you’re the expert simple answer to it yeah is players returning from injury suspension um you can kind of suppose correlate it a little bit to maybe what man city has seen in the Premier League at the moment you strip kind of the spine of any team out of it regardless of your quality and and you’re going to struggle a bit and that’s what Norwich unfortunately just before the break sort of had they had a pretty bad injury crisis sort of prior to the game against Cardiff uh lots of key players were missing so they had Kenny mlan suspended who’s kind of the the lionhardt almost of the Norwich Midfield Marino Nunes who’s had a really positive season been out for six or seven games now Anis Ben slani who we’ve got on learn from Sheffield United he’s been struggling with injury Josh Argent is not going to be back till the new year who’s arguably in my eyes probably the best and complete number nine in the championship in terms of goal scoring and prowess so to lose him then Angus gun our goalkeeper as well he was at for extended period and and no disrespect to our number two but George long just isn’t quite up till even close really to the to the standards of of Angus gun so you know you strip that all back and that’s really been where the problems is you know Norwich have kind of struggles particularly in the Midfield Department because they’ve had lots of players in there that maybe haven’t really seen much football so far this season or had longer term injuries themselves the likes of Jacob senson who has hardly played much football really for a year and then suddenly he’s having to play three games in a week because norch have got other options so I think having those players gradually coming back and Marcelo nun looks like he’s going to be back for Saturday’s Clash against Luton as well so great probably it comes at the back you know the worst possible time for you guys but that that’s really just sort of you know the simple answer to it because I actually don’t think in terms of the style or the approach anything’s changed really it’s just purely those individuals being back that’s interesting I mean I I was looking at your your sort of squad earlier on when I was doing a little bit of research about you guys and um it’s it’s it’s impressive like what players you do have sort of contracted to you to you guys but like I say it’s just been a case of getting him on the pitch I mean I was looking at the unused player on the bench the other day and you’ve got anell Hernandez on the bench that didn’t even get a minute and I looked at him and I’ve put I’ve got like an exclamation mark and a question mark next to his name kind of going what the hell because especially at Championship level I mean the guy is absolutely lethal um and um that there’s like when I saw that mlan was back as well I mean I was speaking to another podcaster earlier on in the season he was saying that Kenny mlan just is like the metronome for for for Norwich and if he plays don’t expect much of the ball um so I’m not expecting too much different on this Saturday to be honest with you I think that it could be a case of him completely dictating the game is that what you’re expecting as well yeah he’s he’s kind of a bit of a mar might figure I’d say amongst Norwich fans certainly previously he was kind of the scapegoat maybe for some of the ult era that Norwich maybe endured under Dean Smith sort of that relegation from the Premier League and then the hangover that that maybe Lut has suffering from a little bit at the moment in terms of coming back down to the championship yeah just trying to shake that losing mentality back and trying to turn it into a winning one because he’s kind of that leadership that Captain element almost in this squad I think he kind of got a lot of that frustration from the fan base and maybe they didn’t quite appreciate what he does because he you know he’s not not a goal scorer midfielder he’s you know he’s just a sort of you know on paper just see Kenny mlan you think RK is a Scottish International there’s nothing really much about him but he he is literally the glue in that Norwich Midfield in terms of everything that’s good about them because he frees up the likes of Marcel to go and do his creative you know he he can sort of find those pockets of space and he doesn’t have to worry because there’s that little bit of added protection with Kenny mlan his communication skills and just kind of bringing players those younger players over the line in difficult moments you know that you can’t sort of almost underestimate how much experience and sort of quy he has as an individual so I think for the value of money that Norwich paid for him I think was around about2 200,000 from abine about six seven years ago now you look at his longevity and everything he’s done for the football club um yeah bits of business they’ve ever done Norwich City’s a very own Sheamus Coleman like looking at that sort of money that’s that’s incredible longevity and uh and service for such a small fee um I’m going to bring it to Len ever so slightly Adam um because um I I’m I’m particularly attached to this particular player he’s an exh Hatter um Jack Stacy is probably one of my all-time favorite players that played for Luton I’m obviously of a certain age I know that I’ll get a lot of stick for that and that people will say about some of the greats but um seeing him bomb up and down the right wing um he had a particular partnership with with James Collins the striker for for Derby County now um and it was very much a case of Andrew shinny would play the ball to Jack Stacy Jack Stacy would get in behind the defense play a square ball James Collins scores um I was gutted he chose to go to you to be honest with you I was absolutely gutted I mean how how is how is my favorite doing is he is he is he getting up and down that Wing back position now yeah he actually for probably a six seven game period was predominantly on the bench was kind of fell out a little bit out of favor because uh young Kell Fischer who we brought from Bromley uh the summer before last and initially as a development signing under David Vagner last year he kind of was playing second to Jack Stacy who on the whole had a pretty positive season and given that Norwich had sold Max arons who of course has a little bit of as well for good money the summer before to Bournemouth and they got Jack Stacy for free from Bournemouth at the time I think most Norwich fans are going that’s another really astute piece of business in that you’ve got someone free and almost almost not noticed really that the impact that aens had because he was such a good player for norwi um over sort of again a three or four year period even in the Premier League at different stages so to replace him yeah I think Stacy had a pretty solid campaign provided assists got a goal against Stoke and yeah I think given where norit ended up in the in the you know in the championship table last year most fans were happy with him came into this season and he he sort of started in that right back role but I kind of felt just kind of the way that Norwich try and play now it’s it’s a little bit different maybe to what they were playing under David Vagner that was a lot more sort of conservative pragmatic uh pretty defensive football now it’s a lot more expansive a lot more open bit more possession based and torp really likes his fullbacks to be on the attack and he speaking a little bit about it today actually in the press conference just about Stacy now they kind of molded him to be able to to come inside a bit more and and almost exploit those those wider ARS as well because he was struggling a little bit with the system and yeah he’s been back in for the last couple of games due to Fisher having the suspension um and then even the the game at West Brom they shifted fiser to left back where they had a bit of an issue with with Callum D maybe basically shifted back into left Center back because Jose called over Center back was injured so he got the opportunity and yeah I think he’s probably been one of norwich’s best performers really in the last couple of games uh the assist for Mar Condes against West Bra really good ball across um it feels like maybe he’s got that confidence back so i’ fully expect him to be potentially probably starting on Saturday depending on how decides to see it in terms of that right back role with Fisher being back available it’ll be it’ll be interesting I think I I really hope that uh Luton fans it’s it’s been a while being honest with you we had we had him back in the days when we were in League one so it’s it’s been a long long sort of time coming for our pods to to cross again and uh I’m sure that he’ll get a good reception but it’s good to I’m I’m pleased for him on a personal note because I just think he’s a he’s he’s a really good guy as well but um it sort of brings me you you you touched upon it ever so slightly um and like I said with it when in doing my sort of research earlier on um a few Outlets sort of had that you were playing a 433 type system is that what you expecting to to play on Saturday I mean the the onus is on you as the home team to sort of dictate what what happens really really is that is that what you’re sort of expecting to to go with is that pretty set in stone yeah tor’s pretty wedded to the 4-33 even when they’ve had injuries this season he’s kind of been a bit reluctant to kind of revert or make any changes away from that because I think he feels that Norwich are still in their infancy a little bit with him in terms of the way they’re trying to play and he just wants to almost get this set in stone and then maybe moving forwards further on to it you know into his tenure where the players are used to the style they’re used to kind of the identity then he can adapt it a little bit more and throw other things into play where I think at the moment he doesn’t want to you know almost put too many eggs in the basket he just wants to you know maintain this this system and yeah yeah I think that’s the way they play that’s the way that they now know how to play and it’s kind of I think from a Norwich fans perspective a lot of the fans are buying into what they’re seeing on the pitch now because they can see a Norwich team that has an identity has a style it has a formation it doesn’t change and we had a little bit with that with Daniel [ __ ] he was a bit more 4231 but very possession based football a little bit slower in the buildup but um certainly sort of very similar in terms of the way they wanted to play Pure attacking football and that’s exactly what it is under torup and when it’s good it’s really good as we’ve seen in a few of the home games so far this season I think you know you almost want to probably get in norwich’s faces quite early on because if you let Norwich almost do what they did against Plymouth early on where lots of possession lots of attacking opportunities when they convert them that they’re pretty pretty lethal in front of goal yeah it’s it’s going to be interesting from uh just giving you a bit of insight from our perspective the last two games we went to a very very basic 442 against hole um some people some Lon fans sort of saw it as slightly different but the way I saw it from from my viewpoint was two very clear Banks of four and a two up front but yesterday we had a few more players back and we we reverted to sort of like the 532 type system but we we bypassed our Midfield a lot and I know that we’ve got sort of height and and strength up top but the reality of it is it’s it’s not particularly working right now so it’s I’m really intrigued to see how Edwards tries to negate your quite clear sort of identity so it’s it’s a it’s an interesting one um to to say the least so um I’m I’m going to be really boring with this next part Adam and I’m sure that you in a weird way you’re fed up of it but in another way I bet you absolutely Revel in it um I want to talk about your Star man at the moment or or your science um I I know that it’s not just goals uh but I I watch the guy and he he makes me smile even as an opposing I just like his style I just think that he’s got um a flare about him and and and he just looked good on the ball and and it’s exciting I mean you you must be absolutely reving in it having him in your side at the minute and goals on top of the performance as well yeah I don’t we ever get bored about speaking around him at the moment just been uh something stupid I think you know we all sort of felt certainly in the early stages of the Season where you know he started pretty quick in terms of his form and started scoring goals which we maybe saw glimmers of last season but certainly not to the levels we’re seeing at the moment um it was just about consistency can he continue this over the course of of the season and I mean we’re now what getting close to halfway through the campaign and you look at his numbers and I mean he’s not going to stop at the moment you know that’s two hattricks now they so far this season one away at Derby which had a little bit of controversy in terms of the goal I mean anyone that’s maybe seen the clip that the ball went out of play before that he scored the first one but um can’t take it away from him you know that was uh a great moment for him personally and then again of course on Tuesday night again a completely different hattrick you know what’s impressing me is if you look at his sort of goal highlights real everyone picks out these absolute screamers which are no kind of to me it’s no coincidence now this is not just bit of luck this is you know a guy that’s clearly got technical ability where he can score from anywhere but it’s also the fact he’s now got a variety of goals starting to come into the game if you watch him you know there’s there’s goals within the Box there’s goals from outside the box there’s there’s sort of a multitude of different types of goals and for me that’s the roote to consistency of a player because you know yeah when they’re starting to add different types of goals to their game you know that they’re a good player and at the moment his explosive nature um just that sort of inner confidence within him you know I don’t think anyone’s going to get or stop him you know you’ve almost got to get two or three men around him which is what bristle City actually done quite well our last defeat at Caro they kind of almost stuck two or three men on him just to stop him frustrating because if you can get under his skin which we’ve seen a little bit um he kind of reminds me a bit of when we had buendia where you get underne his underneath his skin he’s susceptible a little bit to a red card because that kind of frustration within his game that that Spanish nature that Spanish flare about him quite quite fiery so yeah that’s probably the way to stop him but um unfortunately when you got a player that good probably playing in a league he shouldn’t be in that’s what to do it’s going to be and it’s it’s a testament to how good he’s been because you mentioned it earlier on about uh Josh sergeant and and we’ve mentioned on our Championship show before um about just how Le all Josh Sergeant can can be and the reality of it is no one’s talking about him being out Perhaps Perhaps within the Norwich fan base doing that M but the reality of it is that people think of Norwich at the minute and they think boy your science guy’s on guys’s on fire so so what a player but um Adam I’m just going to finish up with um you you’ve already given me your score predictions for our predictor League um the the S the sluger 6 um and the last one that I I asked you to withhold from me was what you think the score is going to be for Norwich versus Luton so um be kind to us but but be honest and what you what how do you see it going on Saturday yes it’s an intriguing one to call I mean you know you kind of look historically more recently in terms of Norwich and Luton Luton have had the upper hand I think it’s five wins from the last six games between the two sides and you know then you kind of got the statistics around norwich’s home form just one defeat in the last calendar year that was against Bristol City you know prior to the win against Plymouth the other night and the mitigation I kind of mentioned at the start you know around kind of injuries kind of bled into that performance in that game so I kind of take that one a little bit out of the equation so you kind of stretch it out and it’s almost a year unbeaten you know and Norwich have been so good at home that the kind of crowd are fully on board with everything now and it’s a really tough place to play particularly if you let Norwich grab an early goal because you’re going to be fighting an uphill battle because they’ve got players on the counter that are just so so confident at the moment so sort of when when they kind of Hit the hit the straps that they’re really hard to stop so I think with all that and maybe Luton struggles at the moment in terms of trying to find form it’s probably on paper all lends itself to a Norwich win but you know I’m we know the championship you know as anybody knows it can throw up kind of funny results and funny score lines all over the shop so it’s not not one that I’m kind of you know fully like with Plymouth I kind of felt Norwich would do the job I’m not quite so confident on Saturday but um yeah I just think it’s one of those Norwich at home chance to make another three points closer towards this playoff push which I think they’re going to try and reignite um off the back of having a few players back I just think Norwich might have enough to get the result on Saturday so going to go for a fre one Norwich win that would be pretty pretty good I think from our end you’ve you’ve you’ve given yourself an extra goal on top of what I gave you I’ve got for two one for Norwich um but I was hoping for one of those freak results you mentioned Adam so yeah we’ll we’ll see how that pounds out but um Adam I just want to thank you so much for joining me um and to all the all the guys that are listening and watching um Adam is at the pinkin um he explained earlier on about um his stations and um and his platforms and give give them a follow because uh Adam is clearly a very very knowledgeable guy loves his club and um yeah I’m thoroughly pleased that he came on I look forward to speaking to you later on in the season Adam thank you forward to it thank you so everyone thank you for listening that was Adam from The pinkin the Norwich City fan um he’s predicting a 3-1 win uh for Norwich uh which given their home form and given our away form I think is uh is probably a fair um Fair uh prediction but um let’s just let’s just hope as Hatters that we that we go for it uh give it give it our best shot keep showing that sort of fight that we’ve we’ve shown in some of the tighter games particularly at kenro if we can translate that fight that we showed against the likes of Cardiff and the likes of Hull um and put that into an away performance I think that a lot of the Hatters that travel up to to Cara Road will be um absolutely happy um and and we’ll just give it as as much of a try as we can I can hear myself feeling very downtrodden um and and it is difficult I’m recording this only one night after after watching that um display against leads but the reality of it is is that I love this club we all love this club and let’s get behind him and back Rob Edwards and back the boys so come on your ass give it all you got and then we’ll see you at Kenworth Road next week take care guys back to OE and back to mark thank you very much Phil really appreciate it mate good job right so briefly let’s have a look danger men I think we both know who the danger man is for Norwich right yeah maybe he scored a hatrick in his last game he scores from literally anywhere yeah here B B borass Signs yeah yeah a boras signs yeah yeah well 14 goals this season two assists 17 matches played um he’s top scorer in the division yeah he’s not an out andout Striker as well he’s a cheat code for the championship it’s ridiculous um I I I just referred him Niche luten fans but he just there’s a bit of the Jean Louie valir about him right which you know any L fan thinks of that and thinks oh God we can’t be dealing with that but yeah he’s incredible ridiculous player he’s not the only one I mean we’ve got a we’ve got an ex Hatter to worry about haven’t we um and he I think got two assists as well in jet Stacy on um on during the week so yeah that that’ll be fun to see who he comes up against we know how good he is um and probably Mar Condes as well is up there for me too so yeah it’s terrifying I suppose Josh Sergeant’s still injured so he is still injured yeah but I I to be honest um Sergeant or no Sergeant still you know Bor signs is all the worry we we really have to worry about um I describ them consistently in consistent but you know what there they still pose threat um it’s it’s a weird League it’s a weird league but you know they they won their last game 61 and remember that period where they were just winning for fives and whatnot you know they could be back into that sort of Realm now who knows who knows I guess we’ll see we’ll see right yeah we we will see fingers crossed they’ve had enough of beaten teams after Plymouth turned up but I can’t I’m not convinced right but now it’s time for score predictions I will kick this off I said 41 in my score prediction that’s an Norwich yeah I got that you said 4-1 to Luton I think um yeah the one is being generous mate I don’t see where a goal could even come from they they’re not as good defensively as Leeds well there you go go we need to get out of our own half to in order to make that a a thing we have more of the ball I can see that happening not yeah I mean that that’s the performance can’t be as bad as it was against leads it really can’t but the four goals because I know like B her signs will literally score from anywhere marcondes is a hell of a player as well so that’s where four ones come from I mean yeah two assists for him as well yeah I think that they’re incredibly attacking um they at home as you’ve mentioned before are pretty unbeatable Bristol City the only team to have come there and and won but that was I’m pretty sure norx were down 10 men in that game as well so yeah it’s uh I’ve gone 3-1 so I went 4-1 as well and I decided I’ll go 3-1 just because well I did 3-1 against Le I can I can imagine it being quite a similar game I hope I’m wrong I really do but as we’ve said already here there’s been no evidence away from home since Plymouth um of us getting anything out of games whatsoever um so there’s difficult to hang your Hope on anything um there and we’re playing a very good team at home yeah 3-1 for me which is going to make the next game very very very important for Rob Edwards but we got to talk about Rob Edwards because yeah like regardless of what I said before with my apology you know posting the the picture of him as a clown was a mistake and I’ve apologized for that however where do we go from here because the players look disinterested right now and to summarize that mat quino uh post that you mentioned he surmised at the end it’s time for the players to hear another voice in their heads and and I agree the look John still went after 21 games mcara got 11 games the only difference I see here and the performance is objectively much worse than MC Harford who had only lost uh two or three games in the conference and we were grinding out results John still where we lost seven games on the spin but we’ve lost five away games on the spin and looked objectively so poor Where Do We Go From Here the only thing I can see is the fact that the the payoff is objectively much larger and that is it like I love Rob as a person he’s a wonderful man he gave me the best day in my life life and speaking as a man who’s married with two kids promotion to the Premier League dwarfs that of getting married or holding either of my two kids and I will say that because my wife doesn’t watch this but it he’s got to go he has to go yeah um I mean you’re comparing him to to two phenomenal managers and he did a lot of good um as I I say the same thing all the time I attribute our promotion to Rob I don’t buy it as Nathan Jones I really don’t um I do give him that credit and I think he did a great job in adapting in a very very difficult league in the Premier League the problem is after that he we then Stood Still for you know the whole of 2024 we haven’t changed or adapted and and now we’re in a kind of weird State um of you know firefighting in every game as Matt Mato says in his in his tweet which which I completely agree with now it feels like there’s no there’s no plan a or Plan B anymore um yeah the players are some of the players are are it’s not that they’re not fighting for him I think they all like Rob but I just don’t think they know what they’re supposed to be doing and I think that that is is abundantly clear even at home let’s not let’s not gloss over the home games either here yes our home form in terms of results has been better but for me there’s been two good home performances all season and that was against sundland Watford which were back to back after that and before that Sheffield Wednesday I’ve never seen us snatch a win from the jws of defeat as much as we did in that game arguably a better team than Hull beats us 3-1 I we cannot just keep saying well the home form’s okay and we can build on it the home form is not okay the home home results are okay and there’s some things we’re doing slightly better but we we’re not you know we are no when near we’re a shadow of the team that we were in the championship the last time round um I I haven’t looked at the record but I imagine that Graham Jones has done better than than Rob at this point um or in terms of overall win percentage Yeah well in in his first whatever games in the in the championship I don’t imagine it’s much different we did better under greme Jones at this point in his first championship season yeah with the with the squad that we had then and if you look at the squad we had then compared to now that is ridiculous I’m sorry it’s utterly ridiculous you’ve got Jac massively underperforming where well I I like Jacob Butterfield I my entire appearance on him yeah but you know got J we’ve got Victor Moses we’ve got Tom Krauss we’ve got you know we’ve got you’ve got players like Ted and mangi who was lorded as one of the best young upand cominging young defenders in the Premier League last year England under 21 International and we are massively underperforming regardless of what you think about Rob Edwards the man the team is massively underperforming and you cannot if or but that away um Rob is a lovely guy but unfortunately I feel the players are taking the piss you cannot sack the players so I think they need a new voice in their ear but sadly he’s too expensive to to sack he’s not as he’s not as expensive as relegation to League one though no of course not and you know what I remember um Gary swe said of um the part of the reason why greme Jones had to go because relegation to League one would have been catastrophic he said and that was with the lowest wage budget in the league so who knows what you know this will be like catastrophic times a thousand if we were relegated with the wage budget that we’re currently on it’d be a fire cell everyone would take the piss with the signings of our players uh we would get fraction of the cost cuz we it’ literally be a fire sale it’s it’s concerning it’s really really concerning and I love Rob as a guy but I I don’t know if he’s waiting to be sacked but if his mental state is the way he he says it is surely you walk away you walk away from the triggers of um you know um things that are triggering your mental health I I don’t get it I honestly don’t yeah I mean I think that you know I I I don’t want to suppose about what what’s the issue with Rob um in terms of his private life and that’s down to him and as I said about the last game or or prior to the whole game I think it was really good that he came out and spoke about it and I also really enjoyed the reception after the game for him as a person this is you know almost a separate point now but I think from a management point of view it it’s been wrong for a long time it’s not just the championship and we can’t just keep saying yeah but it was the Premier League yes of course we don’t expect to beat some teams but the issues that were there then are still the issues that are there here now and they haven’t been solved we haven’t learned our lessons you know how long are we going to perform in the same way before we realize that we should be looking down rather than up in this league um so that yeah I I’m in agreement we need to change and and it needs to happen soon everyone keeps saying yeah the Premier League was a free hit yes I agree the Premier League was a free hit but people saying lead was a free hit when do the free hits end like every game is a free hit is Norwich a free hit is Swansea a free hit who knows who knows anyway like that’s a a
