Well done. My nan lives in Norfolk and spent a fair amount of time up there when I was younger so been to a couple of games way back. A good club with great loyal fans. Glad to see them back in the Premier League.

Norwich Under Lambert
Played 97
Won 55
Draws 19
Defeats 23
Win 56.7%
Incredible season, built momentum as they've gone along. Lambert seems to be a great man manager, the players never look under pressure and they've scored more late goals than any other team. Without injury time goals Norwich wouldn't even be in the play-offs.
Grant Holt has been amazing. 22 Goals, he stopped scoring, Jackson started doing so.
Hoolahan has been a class act throughout.
Squad definitely need strengthening for next season though.

Yeah Norwich were founded properly in 1902 and I think had the chant from the word go.

Well played City!! Unbelievable season.
The city will be absolutely buzzing tomorrow and the home game against cov will be a carnival!!
I just hope they are clever in the market. I know the chief exec McNally is already preparing for the parachute payments but they have to give next season a good go.
We should definitely send them Caulker or Khumalo as they need a centre back. They wouldnt go far wrong get Cudicini either.

So happy to see Norwich back.
I went to watch them a couple of months ago and their fans were excellent. Their team played really attacking football and with so much passion and togetherness.
They're a very together squad and I'm interested to see how Holt does in the Prem.

May I congratulate Norwich City and QPR in advance for the points they will no doubt take off us next season....

Indeed. Add Hoolahan to him as well cos I think the boy's quality.

Definitely. I think Holt has a good all-round game, work rate and attitude that will see him do well in the Prem over 38 games.
Hoolahan is clearly talented but not sure if he can do it at Prem level. I think teams will eventually double up on him as the playmaker and take out his threat.

Agree with everything there, as a defender I would hate to play against Holt, he doesn't leave you alone. When Norwich weren't playing Jackson Holt would be the highest up the pitch and he occupies both centre-backs for the 90 minutes, amazing work rate, especially considering his frame. He had never played in League One and has netted himself a tidy 22 goals and I reckon over the 38 he can get at least 10 in the prem.
With regards to Hoolahan, he does get marked out of games at times, Savage did it to him against Derby, although Savage also did it to Taarabt. In the Championship season they got relegated, Hoola played on the left, and he was not good, his class was evident but he was so ineffective. This diamond formation suits beautiful football, but it'll be interesting to see if they implement it in the Prem as it is very, very open at times.
Ruddy has had a good season, Russell Martin has been the best RB in the league for my money (except for Walker on his loan spell), think we need a new CB, but Tierney has impressed me greatly recently.
Crofts and Fox I'd never heard of but they've been top notch in the middle, and Surman's also been good, whether they're premiership class I don't know.
