MATCH THREAD - NORWICH VS SCUM

Recommended Posts

Will Naismith actually play today, piss poor again.

No pace and trying to play narrow through the binners defence.

Not great start.

Yeah, Ipswich are already troubling us with their width- Ward looks dangerous. Jerome just won a header in the middle, put it out wide and there wasn''t a Norwich player with 20 yards, just far too narrow.

Naismith, Wes and Howson have barely got a foot on it so far.

Bit of luck, we were due it after last year.

relax guys, a start like this was always likely. mick is a clever man and one of the few managers in this league who realises you have to press us all over and knock balls over the top to trouble us instead of defending en mass.

If we ride out this storm we should wrestle control

This is where O''Neil was so good at holding the ball and calming it down. Mulumbu and Tettey are not using the loose ball well enough, so our front four are feeding on scraps.

hoolahan, naismith and howson arent in the game at all, no width at all, too predictable what we will do in attack and no plan bthey are outworking us at the momentthe one time we put a cross in jerome was the only player in the box and about 10 yards away

its not working, needs changing

We''re making this lot look like world beaters- barely got out of our half.

This formation and style of play is too easy to deal with- press us high up, cut off the supply to the three attacking midfielders, attack us down the flanks to pin back out fullbacks.

We can''t go long as Jerome can''t hold it up and we can''t hit the channels as we''ve got no pace to attack them.

Very much 2nd best and relying on the hopeless long balls. Neil needs to sort this now before we go behind

First bit of width and pace, great pull back, Wes, Howson and Jerome, great goal.

Really do need more width!

Good to see Naismith communicating with the players behind him, telling them to push up and get closer. We lacked that on pitch leadership at times last season and with him, Howson and Klose in the spine it makes a difference.

Goal has lifted the team, this formation works if we can squeeze the game into the opposition half. Pinto looks class. Still not convinced we link defence and attack effectively, oh for a Poundland Pogba.

Need to make some changes and go for it second half. So frustrating letting them back into the game so close to half time.
