MATCH THREAD - NORWICH VS SCUM

[Indy 3,283]

Mulumbu might be great for 20 minutes off the bench but he''s chasing shadows from the start, Naismith has been shite as normal.

How about going for it by dropping Howson back alongside Tettey, taking off Naismith and Mulumbu bring on Murphy & Canos and move Wes central where he can creat the chances needed?

McGovern fills me with little confidence. Almost looked too tiny in goal. Hopefully Ruddy is back soon, although his first game was shocking too.

Would like to know why Pinto didn''t get a penalty having flicked the ball past the defender and then got pushed back.

[Lavanche 0]

Yeah defence tried to play it safe by numbering the box instead of focusing man marking and it looked like it took deflection, so really frustrating goal to give away at last minute after dominating the game last 15 minutes.

Similar to the playoff game here - ahead and looking comfortable and then we let them back in from nothing.

Need more composure 2nd half and quite a few players need to start delivering like we know they can.

[It's Character Forming 1,160]

McGovern has looked good, no chance for the goal but otherwise hasn''t put a foot wrong.

[Clint 221]

We haven''t played that well so as much as it annoys me, a draw is probably about right. We can play much better than this so let''s hope we do second half.

[It's Character Forming 1,160]

Pinto didn''t get the penalty because he exaggerated the challenge and didn''t make enough effort to get past the defender.

the few times weve gone down the wing weve looked threatening, as rubbish as he is id bring whittaker on at left back and take naismith off, push brady up

pinto bennett klose whittaker        mulumbu tettey  howson hoolahan brady              jerome

if jerome cant win the aerial battle give lafferty a chance

It''s Character Forming:

"McGovern has looked good, no chance for the goal but otherwise hasn''t put a foot wrong."

He was nowhere near that near post shot. It could''ve even gone a yard more to the center and he still wouldn''t have had it covered.

its also a bit worrying how a bargain basement stike force is able to out muscle our defence :/

[BroadstairsR 2,137]

Personally, I''m not too keen on the Wes/Naismith pairing behind Jerome. Too crowded and too hit and miss without bringing the best from Wes, or Howson today.

Naismith, who has been ok, off and Canos on. Spread it out that little bit more.

[Hank shoots Skyler 2,094]

Whitaker on for Naismith? Hilarious

[sonyc 5,484]

I think we are a class apart actually and that isn''t yellow and green bias. They don''t seem to be able to play through midfield but we have the skill. I guess if you pump balls in and cross and shoot whenever you can one will get in. I''m confident we can do this. There is a gap in class between the two teams but somehow their early pressure has given them some belief that they can outmuscle. Before the goal they were chasing shadows

[Hank shoots Skyler 2,094]

Think he''ll take Mulumbu off for Canos on 65ish if still 1-1

[Fiery Zac 1,066]

When we''ve got the ball down and played, they haven''t got near us. Unfortunately that hasn''t happened enough and we''re getting sucked into playing their hoofball.

[Mason 47 1,373]

The one thing you can say for Ipswich is that they know EXACTLY what they are. A basic long ball side.

If Neil can get us focusing on OUR game, actually playing football, we will finish with a nice little buffer. Don''t get drawn into playing over head height.

[sonyc 5,484]

Yes that sounds a decent change HSS

[king canary 7,562]

He''s bought Pinto off? What the hell?

[sonyc 5,484]

Oh dear Whittaker

[FenwayFrank 2,450]

Anyone watching a stream with Dan O Hagan doing the commentary ? Terrible stuff, he even decided to explain that the top two go up and the next four are in playoffs

[SeattleCanary 0]

Pinto off, Whitts on. That''s us done then.

[Darth Vadis 150]

Uh Oh

[quote user="Hank shoots Skyler"]Whitaker on for Naismith? Hilarious[/quote]

hes the only player we have capable of covering at left back

brady is a better winger than he is a defender, and we need some width, sacrifice naismith and push brady up to left wing

but it doesnt matter now as weve brought him on for pinto

[Ginja 26]

I''ll take a draw right now! [:P]

[Crafty Canary 495]

We''re f**ked, he''s brought Sh**taker on!

[93vintage 16]

We''ve got a long way to go in terms of being able to pass and keep the ball. Hopefully we''ll not get beat by a poor Ipswich side, but we''re nowhere near the standard we should be aspiring to.

[Indy 3,283]

If Pinto must be injured, surely, unless AN got a £5 on an binners win.

Utter shite, Whitts should have been out the door, now he''s playing.

It''s frustrating to see but you know where the next goal will come from, down the left flank.

[iron_stan 0]

jarvis and olsson really need to hurry the fuck up and get fit

[OldRobert 38]

Pinto injured, taken off as a precaution....................
