By the end, even Sam Byram, a specialist full back, was being preferred to Zimmermann at the heart of defence, suggesting that the German is very unlikely to be first choice in the Championship next season, if Dean Smith stays in the dugout. Norwich City have been relegated from the Premier League with a whimper once again, in a very similar manner to in 2019/20, and the Canaries will be hoping to bounce back in the Championship next season.

It would be a win, yes, but I want to be entertained. We work hard, we choose to spend our hard-earned money and limited free time going to the football.
