Finally. The sort of half that #NCFC fans have been promised at Carrow Road by two different head coaches and a wide range of staff and players. They were positive, energetic, technically good and, most importantly, on the same page.

#NCFC expected to target wide areas in January, having looked thin there so far this season. Rio Ave’s Andre Luiz not likely to be an option, but winger one of Ben Knapper’s priorities in what’s planned to be a targeted but less busy window.

#NCFC currently working on a new goalkeeping coach that Philippe Clement has selected, with Tony Roberts likely to leave after receiving an offer from another club. More on that in tomorrow morning’s @pinkun+ newsletter.

Thought yesterday proved, among other things, that #NCFC’s problems run much deeper than simply the head coach. Philippe Clement has a massive job on his hands just to get them safe.

Exactly the opposite of how Philippe Clement would have liked to start his tenure. #NCFC barely look any different and they’re absolutely shot of confidence. But Clement needs time, and at the very least he knows how bad some of his players can be now.

A huge afternoon for #NCFC at St. Andrew’s. Not the most exciting team selection to be honest, but the substance on the pitch is what Philippe Clemente will be looking for.

Matej Jurasek believed to have missed out on today’s #NCFC squad due to illness.

Should be an interesting one… #NCFC
November 19, 2025 at 4:24 PM
CONFIRMED: Philippe Clement is #NCFC’s new head coach. He signs a four-year deal through to 2029. Big coup for City when you look at his prior experience, but he’s got a big job on his hands to turn their season around.

Mark Attanasio and the rest of #NCFC’s ownership group have now started the final round of interviews with head coach candidates. An appointment wanted as quickly as possible but seen as highly unlikely in the next 36 hours. Full story 👇

Bit of talk about Kim Hellberg and Championship interest, but people close to the #NCFC head coach search don’t believe that he’s currently an option for Norwich. Things expected to accelerate over the weekend but unlikely to be with Hellberg.

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 spoken to #NCFC boss Liam Manning at Colney. Key takeaways:

🔰 Fears Schlupp could be out for months
🔰 No issues with Duffy after Sheff Wed
🔰 Delighted with McLean performances
🔰 Says he’s not thinking about the sack despite intl break pressure
November 7, 2025 at 2:30 PM
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.

Time for some fireworks? #NCFC

Interesting chat with Liam Manning at Colney. Key takeaways:

🔰 Liam Gibbs out for 3-4 weeks
🔰 Manning wasn’t blocked in post-Hull but heard that players’ families felt threatened
🔰 Says “sacking me won’t change a great deal”
🔰 Thinks #NCFC can learn from #SWFC unity
November 4, 2025 at 1:28 PM
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.

Just spoken to #NCFC boss Liam Manning at Colney. Key takeaways:

🔰 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.
October 23, 2025 at 1:24 PM
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.

That was a bang average 45 minutes watching two bang average sides play bang average Championship football. #NCFC
