Yesterday, I was unable to visit Carrow Road for too many reasons to list, which was regrettable given the
situation. However, it did provide me with the chance to hear the incredible Chris Goreham’s voice as those
breathless last minutes played out.
I highly encourage listening to this if you haven’t already.
Regarding “Jackson … chance”read “Amankwah Forson is back! This is just remarkable!
Simon Lappin telling us in Glaswegian, “And the place is going bananas!” was the only thing lacking.
Because it sounded and looked like it did. Yesterday at approximately 4:55 p.m., Carrow Road shook, rocked, and
echoed in scenes reminiscent of those incredible late shows under Daniel Farke during the 2018–19 title-winning
season.
And it was fantastic. An excellent illustration of why we give this football team our whole attention, whether we are
watching it live or watching it from a distance.
Yesterday will only be remembered for those incredible injury-time minutes and a young player who has hardly
kicked a ball in the past month and is still getting used to a new nation and football style.
If there was ever a chance to get your career started with Norwich City…
Amankwah Forson made a name for himself in city legend during the brief appearance, which lasted just over ten
minutes.
He may have had a great or a terrible time here, or probably somewhere in between, but what he did yesterday will
make sure we never forget him.
A defender’s nick on the second goal allowed it to get past the goalie, who most likely would have saved it
otherwise.
Perhaps four out of five referees would have called a foul when Onel used his not-inconsiderable derriere to deflect
Joel Latibeaudiere’s attention in the build-up to that second goal. However, James Bell didn’t
Who cares, then?
It doesn’t matter. Amankwah Forson (2) will only be permanently noted in the records beneath Coventry City 1
and Norwich City 2.
We’ll let the experts analyze why City played so poorly in the first half; there’s no doubting that Cov was worthy of
their lead. However, the statistics speak for themselves (although though Frank wouldn’t admit it), and the second
half saw a notable improvement in performance.
Well, the latter third was generally of lower quality, but the chart below makes it impossible for anyone to
conclude that City didn’t deserve to win that match.
I suppose we have to come to the conclusion that the work-in-progress/in-transition condition is very much a
reality if we can stand back and think about the afternoon logically.
We are essentially at that point in the “project’s” timeframe. A head coach who is still learning and adapting, a
team that isn’t quite ready for action, and a football culture that isn’t yet instinctive for the players.
Therefore, we can anticipate more first half similar to yesterday’s, when things are difficult, and more second
halves, where things almost work but don’t.
It would be unrealistic to anticipate a recurrence of yesterday’s injury time. They don’t happen very often.
But what, at least, I hope it’s done is to buy JHT and Knapper some time in the eyes of the doom-mongers who
were already starting to run out of patience. Even they must have extracted a modicum of joy from those final
seven-plus minutes.
At least I hope they did. Because if not, football is not for you.
At least I hope they did. Because if not, football is not for you.
Because we support a provincial football team that isn’t focused on winning a lot of trophies, as most aren’t, we are
conditioned to put up with a good deal of mediocrity mixed with heartbreak and poverty. That isn’t a critique. For
a football fan, that’s the norm.
However, an afternoon—more precisely, seven minutes—like yesterday arrives, and we are reminded of the
reasons we persevere through the difficult moments.
The meh simply vanished at that time.
Folks, that’s why we do it.
Thank you, guys. Amankwah, cheers.
