#178 Gunn done, Onel gone-l, Hoff off & Wilshere here

On The Ball - A show about Norwich City ·

2025/04/29

Sometimes the end of a Norwich City season is all about the football, sometimes it's about the madness off it.This is definitely one of the latter, in a week that has seen the shock departure of the head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup (less shocking six days after the fact, but we're still not over it), the instalment of the baseball cap/cardigan-wearing Jack Wilshere in the interim, and the departure of three long serving players in Angus Gunn, Onel Hernandez and Jacob 'Lungi' Sorensen.

Zero points and eight conceded - that's probably not the Easter we all had in mind. Hot off the heels of a 1-3 defeat at Millwall, which itself came off pretty sharply after a 3-5 at home to Portsmouth, the On The Ball podcast dissects Norwich City's terrible slump in form.Host Ryan Livermore, Craig Draycott and Steve Sanders chat youth v experience, set-piece woes, bad starts, and crosses, and what this all might mean for next season's chances.

Is that it then? Well yeh, probably... Norwich City's play-off dream all but died on a sunny afternoon in Plymouth, as the Canaries lost 2-1 in a limp display at the Championship's bottom club on Saturday.The On The Ball podcast, featuring a panel of host Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders analyse the Canaries' troubling return to old away game woes, fragile confidence, Kenny the sacrificial lamb, Sargent's two-touch beauty, and Norwich City's new Mr Wright.

The last couple of weeks haven't exactly gone as planned for Norwich City. But why review just one depressing result when you can pick the bones out of three!That's what this week's On The Ball podcast - with Ryan Livermore in the host's chair alongside Dan Brigham and Steve Sanders - attempts to do and with the play-offs seemingly now a pipe dream for this season, the panel delve deep into the project: Is Hoffball better than the Wagner-vision? Is the short-term pain worth it for the long-term

Is there anything worse than conceding a last-minute equaliser? Conceding a last minute equaliser when you've failed to run the clock down and you're playing ten men? Yes, probably that. The On The Ball podcast team reflect on a painful finale in the 1-1 draw for Norwich City at Blackburn Rovers at the weekend.Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Ryan Livermore discuss the right time and the wrong time for Hoffball, feel sad for the short-lived joy of Crnac, and posit the theory that Angus Gunn wasn't

#173 Sargent majors again

2025/02/25

Josh Sargent keeps scoring on Saturdays so the On The Ball podcast is forced to keep saying nice things about him. This week it was his brace that helped see off Stoke City at Carrow Road, in a 4-2 win that keeps the Canaries in the play-off chase. But is all this not getting injured and playing football going to entice other clubs?Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan debate the Sargent ratio, pile the praise on our young full-backs (but are less complimentary about Stoke), and ask how many

2025/02/11

Oh Jack, what have you done...? The On The Ball podcast reacts to an impressive groin stretch from Norwich City's full-back but a less than impressive penalty concession, which resulted in two points dropped in a 1-1 draw with Derby County at the weekend.Once they'd got over that, the panel of Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Dave Powles got to task with praising Sargent (again), anticipating the return of Sainz, and grading the transfer window, and the Canaries' transparent out-with-the-old,

And then, from nowhere, came five goals. Well, not quite nowhere - the return of Josh Sargent certainly helped. And the On The Ball podcast give a returning salute to the returning, saluting hero, who bagged the opening two goals in the 5-1 win over Swansea on Saturday.Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Ryan Livermore also take a moment to heap a bit of praise on some youngsters: Schwartau's swashbuckling display in midfield; Crnac's star role from the bench; Mahovo's assured debut; and

No goals, no shots on target...no worries? Ok, let's not go that far but the On The Ball podcast tries to make the case that things could be a lot worse, after Norwich City's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United on Saturday.Ryan Livermore, Connor Southwell and Steve Sanders play the 'we've got a few injured lads' card in mitigation, and talk about whether we can be too hard on the Canaries this (don't say transition) season of all (don't say transition) seasons.

Can all of 2025 be like that please? The year of On The Ball podcasts had no other option but to get off to a cracking start after the pandemonium at Carrow Road on Saturday, Amankwah Forson's two injury-time goals completing a miraculous 2-1 win over Coventry.Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham relive a crazy five minutes and salute a new hero, try and make sense of that Onel assist, and take delight in throwing caution to the wind.

It's the final On The Ball podcast of the year, but there hasn't been a huge amount of festive cheer on the pitch from Norwich City in the last week or two, culminating in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at home to Burnley. So the panel take matters into their own hands... Steve Sanders, Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham finish with the week's woes and the FA's strange retrospective four-match ban for Kenny McLean to take on the more enjoyable task of looking back at some of the big moments of 2024 and

Not a bad week to be a Norwich City fan, with 10 (ten) goals to shout about, to yield six very welcome points, which ended their winless run in emphatic style.Ryan Livermore takes over hosting responsibilities, and is joined on the panel by Steve Sanders and Dan Brigham, to discuss a potential coming of age moment for Ante Crnac, bask in more Sainz ridiculousness, ponder how to get four into three in the Canaries' midfield, and all smugly agree that they'd rather not be in the top six if it means

2024/11/12

How many times can you say the word 'injury' in one podcast? Well quite a lot, as it turned out in the latest episode of the On The Ball Norwich City podcast.It followed a 2-0 defeat to Bristol City, Norwich City's third loss in a week, a week in which they've had to do without Angus Gunn, Kenny McLean, Marcelino Nunez, Josh Sargent and a supporting cast.

Football doesn't get much more thrilling than that! The On The Ball podcast somehow tries to play the follow-up act to the insane topsy-turviness of a week of following Norwich City, which culminated in a 3-3 comeback draw against Middlesbrough on Sunday.Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Maddie Mackenzie get their heads together to pour praise on the comeback Canaries, reminisce about those Sainz goals, tackle the George Long problem, discuss penalties, red cards and own goals, and generally agree

The On The Ball podcast returns from the international break to find Norwich City still hovering outside the Championship play-offs after a 1-1 draw at Stoke City. Obviously, that's not the most momentous result of the season, so once host Steve Sanders and guests Zoe Morgan and Craig Draycott are done assessing Crnac's debut goal, the loss of Marcelino Nunez and the lobworthiness of George Long, they set about investigating the important stuff: the whereabouts of Splat The Cat.

It's the feelgood pod of the year! Sometimes it's difficult to be anything but positive - and after a 4-0 win for Norwich City over Hull City, with some free-flowing, progressive football under a new coach, The On The Ball podcast has come over all glass-half-full. Host Steve Sanders, and guests Dan Brigham, Ryan Livermore and The Pink Un's Connor Southwell, get the joy of talking high presses, winning midfield battles, wind-assisted penalty misses, Sainz's explosion in form and Kamara's less than

The contracts have been signed, the transfer requests have (hopefully) all been handed in and the window has shut. The On The Ball podcast assesses whether an eventful window went well or not for the new look Norwich City and their eight fresh-faced signings, or whether they'll miss the newly departed Jonny Rowe and Abu Kamara.

It's not that often that the On The Ball podcast gets to react to big on-the-day Norwich City news but the announcement that Delia and Michael would be passing ownership over to Norfolk Holdings (not a haulage company) was just that. The dawning of a shiny new era, and the sun setting on a truly historic one. It all gave Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham a handy distraction from the sad stuff - things like the first-day humbling at the Kassam, Grant Hanley and Shane Duffy still being a
