If The Reverse Had Happened

[el punal]

Now the euphoria of our annihilation of Norwich is starting to subside, a hypothetical question. How would you have reacted to Chris Hughton and the players had we been on the end of a 5-0 stuffing on Saturday?

I have been reading the Norwich City forums with almost schadenfreud pleasure at the complete meltdown concerning who takes the blame. The answer is everyone, from the board to Alex Neil, to the captain, Russell Martin, to all the players, collectively and individually it seems.

I just wonder if our fans would have reacted the same, or put it down as just a bad day at the office.

Are we talking Carrow Road? Or Amex? does make a difference to me any way..

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Not sure. What I would say is, now the euphoria has died down, if they go up and we don't, the 5-0 will count for absolutely eff all.

As long as there was a reaction the following week you'd just have to put it down to a bad day and accept your medicine

It generally takes us about 2-3 months to concede 5 goals, so I can't even get myself in the frame of mind.

We lost 3-0 at home to Boro last season, went on a bit of a downer, but then came fighting back, albeit missing out just.
Bad day at the office

Oh God! Please, not. Of course you're right, one result doesn't make a season.

Our promotion rivals in 2012/13 thumped us 3-0 in December, surprisingly lost 3-0 in the return fixture yet still had the last laugh. This story still has plenty of time left to run.

We would be in meltdown. A lose by a goal and we would've put it down to being unlucky or simply a bad day, but to lose by 5 is woeful especially for a team who consider themselves to be a promotion contender

That's what I was thinking. Dangerous to say I know but it's almost inconceivable at the moment. 5 ? Duffy went apeshit when we conceded 1.......

In an exact mirror scenario, I think we'd mainly be laying into Stockdale

Delia OUT.

And then getting clobbered by Cardiff 4 - 1 was just the tonic - it was all upwards after that I recall. But we had (still have) a team of character. Norwich seem to be having a major crisis of confidence at the moment and it will be interesting to see him they react. Poorly, one hopes.

Good question - and glad you got some OK discussion in response. I asked the same question on Sunday, and all I got was numpties replying along the lines of, 'Well, we didn't lose, so why are you asking?'
For what it's worth, if we'd been thrashed 5-0, I think it would have been a total meltdown on NSC!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's not quite a reverse because in 7 days Nowich lost another League game, & got knocked out of the cup, as well as our drubbing.

This place would be in meltdown.

If it was an exact mirror I think we would have every right! I hope John Ruddy is match fit!

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Meltdown, we're a fickle bunch us football fans.

Or perhaps D, your goose is cooked !

To be fair, there seems to be a bit of a meltdown on here if we don't win, the recent Preston game being an obvious example, so a 5-0 defeat would be like the end of the world.

I got several Norwich friends I'll won't brag until after the away game.
