Interesting chat with Liam Manning. Key takeaways: 🔰 Ante Crnac out until end of the season at least. 🔰 Chat had with Shane Duffy, conduct after Derby might affect selection. 🔰 Forson back in training next week. 🔰 Manning has been told he’s the man to take #NCFC forward.

Derby are poor, but that was a reasonably strong half from #NCFC. Dominated possession and moved the ball well, but lacked the quality in the box. All to play for in the second half.

That was a bang average 45 minutes watching two bang average sides play bang average Championship football. #NCFC

A huge game for all involved. #NCFC

Lucien Mahovo’s absence from the #NCFC squad not down to a fresh injury. Believed to be fitness management as he continues recovery from previous quad issue. Liam Manning will update post-match.

🗡️ Being more attacking 🎙️ Communication 🏟️ Consideration 🏆 Winning games (‼️) ➕ More 🗞️ How #NCFC can get fans back on side 👇

Think the reason #NCFC losing that 16-year streak feels so significant is that there’s now very little tying them to the glory years of 2009-2022. Kenny McLean the only player and everything off the pitch feels completely different. Even the badge has changed.

Closer game than a lot of people expected in terms of the performance, but #NCFC will be frustrated that a poor goal to concede undid a decent enough 45 minutes. Questions over Kovacevic for it as well. Big second half needed.

Here we are. #NCFC’s biggest game in a long, long while.

It’s derby day tomorrow! And derbies need impact players 💥 So, with the help of @SamSeaman8 of the @pinkun posse, I’ve had a look at the two likely starting XI’s and benches and given everyone a likely impact rating 🔥 Have a look ⬇️ #itfc https://t.co/YIxLI0JFw9

What a huge day it is for #NCFC and Liam Manning. The club’s first ever Norwich-born head coach goes into his first East Anglian derby knowing it has the potential to shape his time at the club in one way or the other. Here are his thoughts 👇 https://t.co/69LJrilgqa

#NCFC have revealed some big stadium plans. In the short-term they’ll move away fans to the River End and create a fan zone outside the Barclay, but it’s the start of a process they hope ends with City Stand expansion. A lot of focus on increasing matchday revenue too.

Good chat with Liam Manning at Colney ahead of #NCFC’s meeting with #ITFC. 🔰 Hopeful McLean could play 🔰 Will see on Lucien Mahovo but was “blowing after 15 mins” yesterday 🔰 Manning relishing the derby pressure 🔰 Says personal life struggles put job pressure into context.

The intent from #NCFC looked a lot better to me, and they’re controlling the game pretty high up the pitch. But there’s no clear pattern to create chances. Combine that with a poorly-defended goal and that’s why they’re behind.

A big game for #NCFC for a variety of reasons. Some surprising omissions from that line-up, but looks like one that Liam Manning is trying to control the game with. Let’s see if he succeeds.
