How are you feeling?

[The Great Mass Debater]

So at this point in time how are you feeling? Keep it Norwich related, Im not Dear Deidre! Results are good, striker scoring (phew) but we've had a number of transfer dealings and it aint over yet. 

So, where are you on the happiness scale? Sad at the departures? Still reeling from relegation? Buoyant or underwhelmed by the new-boys? Happy the team is winning?

Should we repeat this after the Ipswich game?

(For those who dont like polls, apart from being xenophobic/racist, you dont have to vote/post  ^_^  )

Extremely positive to be honest. Defensively we look better than I thought we would. The combination of Tettey and Johnson in midfield looks superb. Both our signings (Grabban & Lafferty) are looking the part and Grabban is already banging in the goals. Wes is playing as well as he did in our promotion year and we always have that safety net of Ruddy in goal. Add to that we've just added some experience at the back (Cuellar), experience in midfield (O'Neil) and experience up top (Jerome) I don't know how we couldn't be both confident and positive.

Difficulty for me being a plastic is that I havent been able to see any of the wins. Only game I've seen and can comment on is the opening game at Wolves, so that slightly skews where I am at this stage. Results are pleasing, but I cant get excited about words on a page in the way I can about having seen (rather than read about) a win. Im disappointed at the players that have left, but glad the team is winning now and apparently playing well

 

[KeiranShikari]

I need to see us win away before I can be truly optimistic. I do believe we have made 5 very sensible signings so far though.

Everybody was apprehensive at the start of the season and the lackluster performance at Wolves didn't help. Two wins since then and people are starting to believe again. You never like to see players leave but the club has been positive throughout and responded well by bringing in new players. After relegation, you can't afford to have a lot of money invested in one player (as Snodgrass' 6 month injury illustrates). Around £17m coming in balances the loss as new players are brought in and more could be forthcoming, as Adams said today:

“We’ll still be looking, there’s still a few days left, again hopefully it’s people coming and we’re talking about incomings rather than outgoings,” Adams added. “I’ve said all along we’ll do what we feel we need to do and as and when players are available we’ll see what we can do.”

Initially I thought it'd be hard to replace those leaving, but good players have come in and Wes and Surman have come back to the fold, young players are breaking through and all are performing well. I like the new attacking style and feel much more confident now.

Feeling encouraged and extremely positive.   Every player we have looks well up for the task this season.  The new boys look good - Grabban's got three goals already and Lafferty looks the business - and a crowd pleaser too.  Redmond can only improve imo and gets a warm reception from the crowd.   Cuellar and Jerome look quality signings to add to the mix.  Wes/johnson/Tettey have been excellent in the last two games and the defence have held strong.  Murphy looked really good and effective when he came on against Blackburn.  Just got to keep positive and focused and we will be there or thereabouts by the end of the season imo.   Pleased to have been at the last two games and seen six goals (and a corker of a goal from Blackburn) and long may it continue that we show good form.

My status is nervous, always is before a derby with that lot!

 

[bloodwagon]

After losing to Wolves, I thought we were in for a hard season. Now with 2 wins and 6 goals I see us going places, looking at a top 6 place min.

I think we can win the division, with one or two further additions before the end of the transfer window.

Little bit nervous about the Derby if I'm honest. I have a feeling that Ipswich are going to be fired up to make a point. Think it'll prove a rough game and I hope we don't come out of it with new injuries.

 

[Andy]

Felt depressed after Wolves, fortunate after Watford but absolutely buzzing after Blackburn. On a personal level I'm sorry to see RvW, Snoddy & Fer go but their departure has been more than compensated by the new signings. I don't want to tempt fate but I'm more confident about the derby this time than last.

 

[Surgeryman]

Improving optimism. Must admit to having grave concerns about this season with a novice manager in charge and still a lot for him to do to convince but the relegation hangover is slightly lifting. Agree with comment above about away form though and changing this on Saturday will do very nicely!

 

[Yellow Fever]

I think we'd all agree with that, surgeryman!

 

[Leedscanary]

Positive, at the moment. Was really down after the Wolves game (true story, bought a new house - seller was a Binner and my new next door neighbour is a Wolves fan) but after the 2 Home games I've convinced myself we'll be at least top 6.

 

[ChemicalsChris]

Pretty positive. Early days but I think we're shaping up quite well. Big test Saturday, I'm hoping it shows just how much spirit I think we have in the squad now.

 

[splutcho]

You can quote me on this later on. We're going to win the league.

 

[Keckers]

Really positive. I think we will win the league as well. Always nervous before a Derby but good nervous. Can't wait!

 

[morty]

Extremely positive frankly. Say what you like about transfer dealings, player strops, radio commentator managers etc etc etc, but it really is looking like it has all clicked pretty well. The players seem comfortable in the system, and pretty much every new player has grasped it and contributed.

Are we looking like we are missing Ricky, Leroy and Snoddy? Do we wish Bassong was back in the team? No's all round for me so far.

The team needed an overhaul after relegation, and thats what Adams has done, and it all seems good so far.

And I suspect we'll add a player, or maybe two, before the window is shut.

That said, lose against the scum and watch fan confidence hit rock bottom again lol.

What kind of system has been employed in the last two games? At Wolves we played the diamond, which in my opinion was the wrong choice for that game. Has it been diamond for the last two?

It's been more of a 4-2-3-1 the last two games. Johnson can't sit at the base of the diamond by himself, so he needs that partner next to him. We've now found a winning formula. Just need to make sure neither of them get injured.
