Ginja 26 Posted August 21, 2016 Klose heading the perfect ball straight to Ipswich, we dire in defence, offer nothing in attack, play offs at the absolute best tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted August 21, 2016 your thoughts is this one point gained or 2 points lost ??i think if we had kept a settled side i think we should have won this game so 2 points lost for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted August 21, 2016 Neil hasn''t exactly covered himself in glory today, poor selection from the start and was more important to not lose than win it seemed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,603 Posted August 21, 2016 Based on the flow of the game a draw is a fair result. We created a couple of decent chances in the second half but never took charge of the game. However that was one of those games with some baffling tactical decisions by AN at the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted August 21, 2016 That''s fair point Ginja, but I hope after that performance the undroppable Naismith will be benched for Canos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted August 21, 2016 Neither team done enough to deserve the 3 points there. Over to the board now to make the signings we need, I have absolutely no faith in them to do so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted August 21, 2016 Decent result, poor performance. We''ve not hit the heady heights of Blackburn since... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted August 21, 2016 Naismith the latest scapegoat I see. Klose had a very poor game, do we need to replace him with Bassong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzzieBudgie 0 Posted August 21, 2016 [quote user="Rogue Baboon"]Neil hasn''t exactly covered himself in glory today, poor selection from the start and was more important to not lose than win it seemed[/quote]Please explain the poor selection? Murphy probably not ready yet for 90 minutes nor Canos which partners well with Neil wanting to dominate midfield. I think team selection was fine just players played poor and seemed tired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleCanary 0 Posted August 21, 2016 We looked stale and bereft of creation. A lot needs changing. Wes and Klose off the boil today, and would rather the cash for Naismith and Brady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 209 Posted August 21, 2016 Rubbish...no ideas from us, and hoof ball from them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 21, 2016 Jesus some of the comments on here!!Decent point away from home. This was a real bannana skin game for us. We''ve lost a couple of key players through injury and Wes Naismith and Jerome are being overly relied upon. 4 games in and we''re unbeaten. We''ve manged to avoid losing to Ipswich too, which means there run goes against us goes on. So on that basis, we''re still the pride of Anglia.Solid start IMO, especially considering we''ve been low on confidence following relegation. We need to build on this start, however fail to sign a couple of forwards to release the pressure from Jerome and we could burn out and struggle.2 new forwards this week and a fit again Alex Pritchard. We''ll be sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted August 21, 2016 We were pretty poor so not losing is a good result. Will turn them over at home, I''m sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thecanaryfan 0 Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah fair result for sure. Gotta say Mulumbu looked good value, as did Whittaker.Cant believe Wes presented the Ipswich lad with MOTM. Should have been other way round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted August 21, 2016 2 point lost. We didn''t work as hard as them and we were far too casual at times. Watching us time waste in the last couple of minutes was agonising as well, we were getting a bit of joy in their half in the last five minutes but we settled for a point which wasn''t great to see.That''s one good, one fair and two pretty dire performances so far. Our passing and ball retention in the opposition half has got to be so much better if we''re going to try and set up as we do. There should be a couple of places up for grabs now in the team for the young players to stake their claim for v Coventry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingston Yellow 220 Posted August 21, 2016 If David Moyes is prepared to pay the £8m we spent on Naismith, we should bite their arm off. Sadly, it''s one of those signings that hasn''t worked out and shows no sign of changing. AN can''t keep justifying his selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted August 21, 2016 Mulumbu starting in the middle to pack the midfield, did it work? Ipswich seemed happy to get the ball out wide, we had no outlets out wide and as soon as the full backs pushed up and we lost the ball we were short at the back.We are one of the best teams in the league with one of the best squads, yet we still insist on changing line ups and formations to suit our opponents - why can''t we force our game on our opponents for a change?

Kingston Yellow 220 Posted August 21, 2016 And if such a lack lustre performance doesn''t get the Board to get their fingers out and get some bl00dy business done, then nothing will. At what point will the penny drop that since creating this ridiculous footballing board, we''ve been completely incompetent in the transfer market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snake-eyes 13 Posted August 21, 2016 I take that as a point gained.A team we should have destroyed really and they were poor, but we were awful!Got very lucky imo!I will take that point and move on, but AN has got to look at things desperately! We looked flat and too much tweaking of the team. Shoehorning players into a system that rather than creating the system to the players.On a positive, unbeaten in the league and only really played well in 1 of the three!Hopefully things can only get better?Snake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,086 Posted August 21, 2016 i feel for Naismith where exactly was he meant to be playing today ?the team looked disjointed from the start i just think if we were more positive from the start 3 pts were there for taking today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,297 Posted August 21, 2016 Not scapegoating at all, one decent performance but since all Naismith does is play narrow, lose the ball, falls over and whinge at everyone around him.Maddison, Pritchard when fit, but we can play without him, we could go with Wes in his strongest position not out wide!We all have opinions and those justifying Naismith need to say why what''s he done to deserve a start next week?
