Whatever happens this season … this a huge tipping point with 11 games to go…. Who would have imagined such a gulf at start of season. 😉 |  | | |  |

How is "Whatever happens this season … this a huge tipping point" a fact? |
Because we're 20 points ahead of them. That suggests we are now the better team. That's all he's talking about. They could always have a tipping point back to them at some point in the future, but right now we are the top team. |  |

I took it he meant the turning point in terms of the quality of the teams. A 20 point gap suggests our team does now have a lot more quality than theirs.
Your playoffs scenario could happen but that's a different point IMO. |
I just wouldnt tempt fate |  |

I don't know - seems like one of ours that is deeply obsessed with those up the road. Last five created threads have all been Norwich related, nothing else for nearly a year.
Anyway, let's agree to disagree on how it was intended. Let's just hope it ages better than this one...

If they don’t go up they’re fooked. Carried by a handful of players who have a decent resale value, such as Sargent, which they’ll likely have to cash in on while they’re in contract. I can see them being left with a squad of overpaid average plodders like Barnes who is on silly money for what he is, with no obvious demand for him from elsewhere.
It’s still an IF though, could yet get a playoff spot and go up, which will sort them out for the time being. It feels like a huge 3 months for them really, more so than us in terms of their reliance on promotion considering their financial position and cost base.
The derby looks set to be a big one, it would be regardless but I can’t see a world where it’s not a game with some real jeopardy for extra spice, given where both clubs are. |  | | |

The return of Josh Sargent has certainly helped them turn a corner but relying on one player isn’t a particularly good stance. Especially with the Rowe lad out for the season. |  |

It's much like us with Hirst, however we have replaced him now
We had a strong January that's for sure, we have a plan B too, that makes a massive difference |  |

I think I heard on the highlights yesterday that it was their 5 win in a row at home, but saying that, they're not exactly dominating teams or blowing them away from what I can see.
Obviously I don't want them to even scrape into 6th place to give them a chance of promotion - the thought of having to play them another 1 or 2 times in the POs gives me nightmares.
Sensible money would be on a 1-1 or 2-2 draw at their place, but I don't think they realise how relentless we are, how we wear teams down, so would love to see a 95th+ minute winner, especially if that sends us top of the league. |  |

Way too early to celebrate anything. Imagine how much we'd be celebrating if we were 20-25+ points behind scum, yet kicked them out of the play offs.
No one would remember or ever care we were so far behind |  |

Leaving aside the "tipping point" stuff...
Let's just say:
Norwich are closer to the relegation spots than they are to us.
Shockingly the team in 6th place with 11 games to go is also closer to the relegation spots than to automatic promotion. | | | |

Just don’t see this at all.
As mentioned, Sarra, Sargeant and Rowe are all £20m players.
If they wanted to they could flog the lot, pay down or rollover whatever debt they have and still have money left to re invest.
We only really have Davis to sell and May face a fight to hold on to KM if we don’t go up. Way way to early to talk about us being bask in the ascendancy imo. | | | |

Brilliant isn't it and derby day will confirm WBA and Hull in the other two play off spots which will make our win there even better | | | |

Silly money season for transfers I think is largely over due to FFP seemingly having more impact on what PL teams will do. Clubs won't overspend on players now like they may have done 2 years ago. Norwich are not getting £20M for each of those players | | | |
