Norwich City v Watford: The Opposition View
It's the Norwich City preview, and Peter welcomes back our good friend Adam from The Pink ’Un to find out why things haven't quite gone according to plan at Carrow Road. Philippe Clement restored optimism last season, but a difficult start has brought familiar questions about recruitment, ownership and the relationship between club and supporters. All sounds rather familiar, doesn't it? We look at Norwich's summer business, including Andre Brooks and Sam Field, and examine their attacking options ahead of Saturday's encounter. There's an injury problem up front, some encouraging signs elsewhere and a welcome return in midfield that Peter would frankly rather hadn't happened. We also pay tribute to the recently retired Teemu Pukki, a Norwich legend whose achievements provide a rather pointed contrast with another former Canary striker. Back in the DNSYE studio, Peter, Justin and Carl attempt to make sense of Watford's performance at Wolves, the continuing uncertainty surrounding Andrea Dionisi and whether changing the manager would actually change very much at all. We discuss the balance of the squad, the apparent absence of player development and the increasingly worrying fixtures ahead. There are also some observations about Danish football, bouncy castles and the aerodynamic shortcomings of certain Watford players. Finally, the Completely Rubbish Prediction League returns, featuring a remarkably convincing Daniel Farke impression from Brett, a Halloween-themed visit to the the Dice Dons and the usual collection of predictions that suggest nobody is particularly confident about Saturday. We finish with a discussion about the future of Watford's manager, the difference between a damp squib and a damp squid, and the growing suspicion that we really should have stopped recording several minutes earlier.
