Slightly depressing bit in the Athletic

"Norwich needed to improve defensively in the Championship as a platform for their Premier League return. They achieved that but it remains to be seen how that will translate in the top flight.

There was a desire to improve their centre-back options, but deals for those players targeted as realistic signings to achieve that have not got over the line."

That''s it about the defence. Then it goes on to the attack.

So the basic message is we had targets, we didn't get them, we gave up and decided to spend the money on attacking players instead hoping to win by scoring more than the opposition.
