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 gain? And, of course, what do the numbers say?

Plus, The Brigham Rule and the slimline penalty areas, contract conundrums, Northampton Town spin-off podcasts, and you're guaranteed a top-tier podcast when you have a man literally listing off positions on the football pitch.

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.

Plus, community heroes, Onel gets nearer to needing a social media intervention, getting up close to a wedding proposal (in a Canary suit), whippets, and Ryan, Ed Sheeran and Ben Godfrey convene on the world's least enticing hill.
