# These Norwich fans react to Naismith’s relegation comments

Former Norwich midfielder Steven Naismith has [reminisced](https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/canaries-old-boy-steven-naismith-relegation-pain-hearts-1-6510181) on his relegation from the Premier League in the 2015/16 season.

Naismith is[currently](https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/canaries-old-boy-steven-naismith-relegation-pain-hearts-1-6510181)playing for Hearts and is fighting against relegation down to the second tier of Scottish football.

He[points](https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/canaries-old-boy-steven-naismith-relegation-pain-hearts-1-6510181) to the pain of being relegated and how he never wants to feel like that again, having only left Norwich last summer on a permanent basis.

The Scottish international [joined](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/9314/Show/Steven-Naismith) Norwich from Everton in January 2016 but scored just one Premier League goal – in a[5-4](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/9314/Show/Steven-Naismith) defeat to Liverpool – before the club were relegated.

He then [played](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/9314/History/Steven-Naismith)29 games for Norwich in the Championship the following season, scoring five and assisting three from an attacking midfield position.

Norwich then sent him out on loan to Hearts before allowing him to leave on a free transfer last summer to sign a four-year deal with the Scottish outfit.

These Norwich fans reacted to his comments, still sore from his time at the club…
