Interesting team selections for ''do or die'' game.  We know this is a must win, so is this the team to do it?  I am unconvinced but we shall see.  OTBC

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="drurys testamonials V 15"][quote user="ricardo"]Redmond and Murphy still haven''t produced a single telling cross since before Xmas. The forwards will never score until they do.[/quote]I thought some guy posted on here recently with a load of stats to back up how fabulous Redmond was.Have to say I think he has his moments but then so do other members of the squad. Unfotunately football needs consistency over 90+ minutes not moments .[/quote]Nice little run from Murphy early on but apart from that he was anonymous second half, two crosses neither of which got a foot off the ground or beat the first man. Him and Redmond are pretty to watch but they have absolutely no end product. For all the criticism of Snoddy he at least gets a ball in occasionally.[/quote]... but it was Murphy that crossed for the Snodgrass goal in the first FA Cup game against Fulham (4 Jan) - so your comment in bold above, simply isn''t true.

[quote user="yoda"]Nothing has changed in 2 months,the board need to send him packing and get on the blower to Glen Hoddle.[/quote]Nothing has changed in two seasons (tactics wise)Hughton Out!

[quote user="Houston Canary"]Dire-bolical. Sorry, KK.[/quote]No worries! You were right in some ways because the dire state of our play is of biblical proportions [:D]

[quote user="ricardo"]No luck[/quote]Is that what supporting Norwich has come down to.. hoping for some luck [:O]

Well - at least Johnson''s having some shots.  Generally though, we are so dire......bolical.

This is wrong - we are playing zonal defence (not man-marking) and therefore the closest player to the ball is responsible for closing down,  Bennett also at fault for giving away a free-kick for the second goal.Either way, it''s schoolboy defending from a team that set up defensively, from a manager that is so defensively minded.

Good to hear that the Fulham keeper is being kept busy.

Yep - liking this more balanced set up now with Snoddy playing in the hole behind RVW.

Most of our good work is definitely coming from the left with crossing options from Murphy, Olsen and Garrido.  Our right hand side .... not so much.  Elmnader (apparently) playing wide right??  and not having much of an impact.

[quote user="Yellow Wall"]What do you know ........ a good LEFT footed cross from the left wing and we score. Perhaps we should try some right footed crosses from the right wing.[/quote]Yeah - thta''s what Murphy gives us as he is good with both feet.  Hopefully at some time this year, we will see Josh Murphy on the left and Redmond on the right.

1-1 (Snodgrass) - Get In!!!!!!!!!! Murphy Assist

Team/Formation - seems to be:                 BunnWhittaker Martin Bennett  OlsenSnodgrass Fox Garrido Murphy         Elmander                      RVW

Elmander just missed an opportunity. Shot wide after follow-up to Fox''s blocked shot.

Started OK - good amount of possession and Murphy has prob had best chances and has been most positive so far. 

Wow - not a good day for Fer.

[quote user="Macey"]Same story as last season, no matter what attacking players we have we never create chances because of the f ing tactics..........[/quote]Yep and our set pieces are now poor, whereas last season that was the main way we scored.  Not looking good!

Yeah we are being outplayed.  Need to change things up as it all seems very flat at the moment. 

I think Snoddy would have been better to come off. He''s had a quiet game IMO.

Poor refereeing there again.  He didn''t even attempt to go for the ball - just dived in the box, whe he felt pressure from behind!

How the hell did Wes get a yellow card there? Unbelievable.

Well worked goal after some good pressure. [:)]

We pass the ball around well in the middle of the park, when we have time but we need to switch up a gear and improve the speed of movement and passing in the final third.  We just seem to be playing at the same pace throughout.

When will we learn????? Olsen trying to play it out from the back, oh dear!

We seem to be gaining in confidence a we get used to the conditions.  Comfortable in the middle and at the back but little going forward again.  Have we had a shot yet?
