havemyhowsonit 0 Posted August 21, 2016 This midfield set up for us ain''t working. Needs to change already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 21, 2016 i can see our full backs getting caught as they are pushing so far forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingston Yellow 222 Posted August 21, 2016 Totally agree King C. Klose is all at sea so far. Not had time to settle as midfield is too slow and getting pulled all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,314 Posted August 21, 2016 Will Naismith actually play today, piss poor again.No pace and trying to play narrow through the binners defence.Not great start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,654 Posted August 21, 2016 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.

norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 21, 2016 like i said as we have no width their Fullbacks have all time in the world need to close them down faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted August 21, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 21, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted August 21, 2016 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 awayits not working, needs changing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,654 Posted August 21, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted August 21, 2016 Very much 2nd best and relying on the hopeless long balls. Neil needs to sort this now before we go behind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,654 Posted August 21, 2016 Completely against the run of play but what a finish that was by Jerome- perfect placement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,314 Posted August 21, 2016 First bit of width and pace, great pull back, Wes, Howson and Jerome, great goal.Really do need more width! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 21, 2016 Naismith moaning again maybe its your lack of pace naismith why you dont get onto passes not to pass itself !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,654 Posted August 21, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 21, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 664 Posted August 21, 2016 Need to make some changes and go for it second half. So frustrating letting them back into the game so close to half time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
