The two players involved Rico and Chet and recovering well in hospital.

Sara has scored with headers this season because he timed his runs, Idah was in the wrong position, he just need to delay his run by a second or two. I thought he had some good touches prior to this. Shame, just more ammo for the haters.

…..Reality.

Threat of lightning strike

Less power more precision seems to be the way to go. Gibbs said after he scored his first goal his only thought was “ hit the target”

I would expect a more direct style of play now that Pukki has moved on, should suit Barnes and players around him so long as delivery is in the right areas.

Wagner comes across as a manager who is not afraid to make controversial selections. If Idah remains in the side it’s because he’s carrying out the role as outlined by manager which is of benefit to the attacking qualities of players around him making use of space created. I thought Pukki and Hernandez had better chance to score than Idah’s attempt under pressure from defender.

The image reminds me of a table tennis player with eye on the ball about to execute a top spin smash. Look at the angle of his non standing foot, locked and loaded, BOOM!👍

Ian Culverhouse

Kieran McKenna, he’s fairly local, won’t have to move house. Win win😂

It was the lack of a third option in between defence and centre field I found exasperating. Gibbs seemed to fill this space at times in the second half.

Bangkok, flying back today.

If we do get promoted I feel with Smith and Shakey in charge we will have a better chance of survival with current squad plus some midfield muscle. Tin hat on👍

I too was chatting to a West Brom fan after the game, he was distinctive as well with 3” WBA letters in yellow and green centre stage on the forehead. I would guess he was well into double figures on fluid intake and the only points he raised that I could understand due to accent and alcohol was:- ”Bruce has lost the dressing room”🤭 and ”Our keepers ****e” I told home I thought they were 2 players short of a very good team and wished him well.

……let’s not forget the Season Ticket holders who stick with the club and form a solid financial base of support on which to grow from.

Perhaps Farke was an inherent optimist and Smith is a realist from tactical and player point of view.🤷‍♂️

The reality is that some managers are charismatic and others show their personalities and character on the pitch. Smith is a straight bat “minimum is best “ type of dull media person. What we are starting to see on the pitch however is an emerging style that comes from coaching and good management. Sargent is the prime example. His movement around the pitch and timing his runs has greatly improved. His ability to put in a extra half a yard stride before scoring in the last games comes from confidence. Who gave him that confidence? The coaching staff.? He gone from bambi on ice at times in first season to a Harry Kane clone because the last two goals are exactly the type of goal HK would have scored. Well done all👏

Mercedes has had a poor start to this season in F1. A lot of frustration and awaiting of upgrades etc but things are now starting to gell. Norwich will be the same as new players are brought in and the squad and Management team adapt to this input. This takes time do you not all agree? It’s the 1st of August FFS.

That ain’t roight bor!

Or a bluff🤔 they never wanted Kone😲

It’s just a matter of getting all your ducks in a row and flying in the same direction. 🤷‍♂️

Cantwell is player who seems to be rejuvenated close season. I’m going to put that down to the management team and Todd himself. If SAS can lift others in the group then you have a good base for the season. Glass half full for me and ready for a top up🍻.

Balanced view from our friend down the road of the coming season and possible end of season positions.

Max’s replacement?
