Squad

A falling-out at Norwich City

Mathias Kvistgaarden and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Ben Tree signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ben Tree commits to Norwich City for another 3 years.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Norwich City

Ipswich Town top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

The dugout

No hiding place for Harry Darling

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

The dugout

Darlin Yongwa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Darlin Yongwa is on it.

Market

Róbert Boženík linked with a move away

The name of Róbert Boženík keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Norwich City say nothing, which says plenty.

Loan watch

Nobody is scoring past Louie Moulden at Cambridge United

6 shut-outs in 11 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Louie Moulden has been having a lot of them.

Loan watch

Elliot Myles keeps scoring at Newport County

10 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Mohamed Touré wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Norwich City will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Player ratings

Vintage Kenny McLean — 8.12

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.12, and nobody on the pitch better.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Norwich City — 7.77

1 for Alhassan Yusuf, marked 7.77, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

The step up is real for Ben Tree

At 17 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match

A bad afternoon for Norwich City against Wrexham

1‑2 to Wrexham, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match

Norwich City get the job done against Watford

A 2‑0 win over Watford, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Mathias Kvistgaarden 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.

Squad

8 new faces, and Norwich City are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

Paris Maghoma gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

A satisfied Joseph Brown

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Joseph Brown could afford to be generous.
