# Norwich City: Fans fearful of the drop after 5-1 thumping at the hands of Aston Villa

**Some Norwich City fans are fearful of getting relegated after the club were thumped 5-1 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”251398″\]

Villa’s record signing Wesley scored a first half brace and missed a penalty as the side led 2-0 at the break. Second half goals from Jack Grealish, Conor Hourihane and Douglas Luiz completed the rout, with Josip Drmic scoring a late consolation [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49861473).

The Norfolk side have now conceded 21 goals in their eight games so far this season, the most in the division [(via Premier League)](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/goals_conceded?se=274).

The Canaries weren’t helped by a growing injury list as [10 players](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49861473) sat out their game against the Villans, including the first- and second-choice ‘keepers.

Manager [Daniel Farke](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49861473) wasn’t best pleased with the performance from his players as he voiced his ‘disappointment’.

Many fans seemed to be quite worried after the club’s latest defeat in the top flight as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Carrow Road faithful:

> Thank GOD for the International break! 2 weeks when we don’t lose! Pathetic, embarrassing and humiliating. Genuinely thought it’d be years before we have to lower ourselves to play [@IpswichTown](https://twitter.com/IpswichTown?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) again…..but it’s gonna be next season, and they’ll be the confident ones.
