Yes excellently put Farkness, points in the bag and on the board now keeps us well on target for hopefully getting around the 92 point mark which I think would guarantee us a top 2 finish....So 35 more points to get from 17 games and although the team seems to have found a winning formula I think we all hope to see 2 or perhaps 3 new signings before the window closes just to ensure we have enough strength in depth to get us promoted this season.

Thanks, Macca, this analysis of Farke’s development as a coach, by a Norwich fan, sheds some light on his growing maturity.

Give Farke more cake!
Bamford rediscovering his form is no doubt the result of good man management and his patience with Gruev is now paying dividends. He handled the tricky start of the season and the Gnonto/Spence situations superbly and he did the right thing by Bill. It's a shame about Charlie Cresswell but I'm sure he's doing the right thing.
I'm beginning to believe we can bag one of those auto spots this season after a late start and a sticky xmas!
Onwards and upwards!
The win reminds Saints and Tractor boys that we are not going away and puts additional pressure on them.

and Leicester.
really don't see the need for 3 signings, I'd be well happy with a quality, ambitious first team addition at left back.
Genoa leading the chase now apparently. I assume we are after him as Struijk is going to be out injured for longer than first thought. Apparently he can cover full back positions as well.
wrong thread LOL

But still a good update.
I know its been said over and over again, but thinking back when the season started Farke had it could be argued the hardest job in the league, I think he's done a great job and sometimes I wonder what might have been had he had a better team to start with!..
Some bring him down, but some did Bielsa as well, any coach at any team gets things right, but they also have mistakes in them!..
Where we are now and the togetherness the team are showing only goes to show he's as good as any in this league, and I'll say if he takes us up than he'll be looked at in the same light as Bielsa!..
Keeps us up and he'll be looked up as better!..
But that's where the 49ers have to give him what nobody gave Bielsa!..
Personally I think he's doing great. Right guy for the job.
The only worry now is that he is odds on to win manager of the month for January…

Be a bigger worry if he wasn’t.
He’s doing a great job, that’s only tempered by two teams both making record starts and another going on a club record unbeaten run. We’ve got more points after 29 games than we did winning the league under Bielsa, any other season we’d be top two already.
I’m not sure if it’s what Farke’s doing with the squad or maybe because we’ve already had that 16 year wait to the premier league broken, but it feels like there’s less panic/pressure in the stadium than 4 years ago.

That might have more to do with new ownership them losing Orta!..
Rodon, Ampadu, Kamara and now Gruev have all brought stability to the spine of the team. We have the second meanest defence in the division, no? Meslier's definitely underemployed in many of our games. And we had to dig deep last night, during the second half. We came through a stern test, pretty much without incident. I am so much more confident about results now because the spine of the team seems so solid.
How much will Rodon set us back? Ampadu at 7mill is the best business done this season so far. Still hoping for a right back at least.

I'd rate him at £10-12m without the influence of the £13m and £18m squandered on Koch and Llorente respectively.
