Norwich's dismal home run continued as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Hull City, marking their seventh consecutive home loss across all competitions this season. This sixth Championship defeat saw the "Canaries" fans at Carrow Road voicing their frustration, chanting that the players are unworthy of wearing the club's jersey.

Despite dominating the first half and missing several good chances, Norwich were punished early in the second half when Joe Gelhardt opened the scoring for the visitors with his sixth goal of the season. Late in the game, substitute Darko Gyabi doubled Hull's lead, extending their unbeaten run to six matches and temporarily securing a spot in the playoff zone.

Norwich could have taken the lead within the first five minutes when Giovane Makama created a threat, but Josh Sargent missed from close range. The hosts continued to press, with Shane Duffy and Ruaridh McConville also having opportunities, but failing to capitalize. Jeffrey Schlupp hit the post, and Oscar Schwartau squandered another chance to score.

Although Hull showed little in attack during the first half, they capitalized on their first opportunity after the break, with Gelhardt scoring on a swift counter-attack. Despite Norwich's efforts to equalize, they fell short, and Hull sealed their victory with a second goal from Gyabi, following a combination with Cody Drameh.

After the match, Norwich fans expressed their dissatisfaction with sporting director Ben Napper and manager Liam Manning.

Analysis: Norwich continues to struggle with poor home form, while Hull showcases solid play and organization, positioning them well for a playoff push. The "Canaries" must find solutions to their issues if they hope to avoid relegation.
