Robert Barnes 19 Posted February 12, 2016 I have seen so many people on this forum complaining about AN team selection.Yet when I look at everybody else''s guess,at what the team might be I really don''t see anything different. So my ???? Is what do you all want him to do? My suggestion is it''s the players,They need to just get out there and play like They can they have all done it before it''s not rocket science just get out there and play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanNorwichFan 0 Posted February 12, 2016 I''m sorry, but I''ve not seen anyone with Howson at right mid, or Brady at left back, or Russell Martin at centre back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow 63 23 Posted February 12, 2016 Maybe play wingers as wingers ,just an idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bennett 780 Posted February 12, 2016 I think Brady is our best left back so I''d play him there personally, with Jarvis ahead of him and Olsson on the bench. Can see the thinking in playing Howson wide away from home but would rather see an orthodox wide player on the right at home.Keep Bassong & Klose to allow them to bulid up a relationship. I''d say the GK and RB positions are up for grabs and its two from three in central midfield (Howson, O''Neill, Mulumbu). Might be time to give Jerome a go up front and its either Naismith or Hoolahan behind him with either Naismith or Redmond wide right.Very difficult to pick eleven who deserve to start ahead of others, nobody can moan really if they are dropped tomorrow.

Canaryfootyexpert 0 Posted February 12, 2016 See the footyexperts posts and you will see what he needs to do.Quality players like Naismith need quality players around them and a key move is to move Brady into central midfield alongside Naismith NOT ON THE WING.Brady has all the skills required for this position, he will be more of a threat going forward, provide better cover when defending and most importantly supply more energy into the flagging midfield area.See Footyexpert Offers Guidance for all the details.

Tumbleweed 106 Posted February 12, 2016 Playing players in the right positions, of course. But just stick with a settled side and don''t instantly drop people of fiddle around. Bennett went from being a first choice CB to out of the squad. Play our First XI week in week out and let the opposition worry about us rather than the other way round.To easy to blame the players but if they are playing alongside different folk all the time, in and out of the team in the wrong position etc then its pretty hard to be at your best.The other thing to look at potentially is the pre-match routine. Why do we start so slowly? Are our players pumped up enough? AN says they are Prem players who don''t need motivation- a slightly naïve view in my mind and all teams will benefit from being in the right frame of mind when they enter the pitch. Maybe they''re getting too much tartan pipes and drums to listen to in the dressing rooms....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 668 Posted February 12, 2016 What he needs to do is make his mind up how he wants to play, pick the players he personally feels suit that formation and style and stick with it.There will be forced changes but limit the unforced ones as far as possible and most of all make his mind up who the defenders should be and leave them alone so they can gain some understanding.

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted February 12, 2016 show the players the Peterborough vs wba game and say you play with the passion like Peterborough did and chances are we stay up but to be honest I dont think he can turn this round never known so many players out of form in a seasonmust be something wrong coaching / training/ tinkering /system / players dropped not seen again or even N but something is wrong somewhere not playing as a team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted February 12, 2016 Play like Lambert did no fear and two up front. This squad on paper is shedloads better than the one Lambert brought up it should be doing far better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted February 12, 2016 Fundamentally, I just want the players to be geed up for it - the line-up formation is obviously part of it but how many times this season have we started really slowly and only looked to dominate in the second half? We need to be ready from the off. Tbh I''m less bothered about the personnel and tinkering, which only seems to be noticed when we''re losing - AN and his team see the players day in day out and surely are best placed to know who is/isn''t on form, who prefers to/plays best where (which may differ from our view as supporters) - they just need to make sure whoever is picked is ready and fired up for it.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted February 12, 2016 I don''t know what I want him to do, and I don''t know what I would do in his position. What I do know is that I want the right to use the benefit of hindsight to criticise every decision he makes which doesn''t come off.Surely that is not an unreasonable approach?

Essjayess 307 Posted February 12, 2016 Want him to look at vids of how the Leicesters and Watfords play, and look at their strengths, and ignore the weaknesses,then get his players into a similar set up, playing players in their best positions, then finally telling his players to go out and give 110%, but most of all, dont fear anything, dont fear going behind, just actually enjoy playing the game together, as a team.
