Squad

Tempers go at Norwich City

Pelle Mattsson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Norwich City

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Norwich City pick somebody else ahead of Dylan Jones

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Norwich City draw a blank against Wrexham

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Wrexham defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad

Mirko Topić knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mirko Topić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jovon Makama

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Nobody could get near Jovon Makama

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Kenny McLean in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Norwich City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Norwich City come up short against Bristol City

Bristol City left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sam Field

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Ruairi McConville falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Dylan Jones dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Nobody could get near Ali Ahmed

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Norwich City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Norwich City supporters have found a favourite in Papa Amadou Diallo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Papa Amadou Diallo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Jovon Makama the difference as Norwich City beat Hull City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jovon Makama. 2‑0 against Hull City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Jovon Makama in the eights

A performance of 8.24 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

No hiding place for Ruairi McConville

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ruairi McConville, and the manager let it.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Harry Amass

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Harry Amass has come out of that comparison in the side, and Norwich City have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad

Dylan Jones dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Kellen Fisher

14 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
