Just WHAT Has Happened to Norwich?

Norwich City have conceded 13 goals in three matches after another extraordinary 4–3 defeat, this time at home to Bolton Wanderers. In this Norwich City podcast, the panel asks how a team capable of scoring three goals against Middlesbrough and Bolton can still emerge from both matches without a point. One supporter described the Bolton defeat as Norwich’s worst defensive performance outside the Premier League in 15 years—but was that assessment justified? We examine Philippe Clement’s tactics, the chaotic defending and the growing goalkeeper debate. Is a lack of confidence in the goalkeeper unsettling the defence, or is the dysfunctional defensive unit making life impossible for whoever plays in goal? José Córdoba’s form comes under scrutiny, while there is praise for the attacking quality provided by Ante Crnac’s teammates, including Mathias Kvistgaarden, Makama, Touré and the impressive Andre Brooks. Norwich possess one of the division’s most exciting attacks—but is that being completely wasted by their defensive failings? The panel also debates whether Clement is under pressure, what Norwich must work on during the international break and whether another goalkeeper and central midfielder are already required. With Swansea City and Southampton coming next, Norwich must find solutions quickly. Have your say: Is Philippe Clement responsible for Norwich’s defensive crisis? Do Norwich need to sign another goalkeeper? Can this attacking style succeed without greater defensive control? Who was your Norwich City Player of the Month?
