Samwam27 517 Posted August 26, 2017 We knew our defense needed strengthening. Now 8 goals shipped in in two championship games, against two teams NOT playing well.This is a major embarrassment. How much did we pay for Husband??? Needs dropping and never playing again. Stieperman from here on in please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,382 Posted August 26, 2017 The tragic thing is that our squad only needed a new proven manager and to sign twocgood cbs from last year and we would be up there at the top. Instead we got rid of good players and failed to invest and signed kids and unproven lower league players- and now we look so soft. Relegation is not a joke but looking highly likely with this defence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 517 Posted August 26, 2017 Excellent and we''re now in the bottom three. Many said give it ten games. By then we''ll be bottom and have the worst goal difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 929 Posted August 26, 2017 We have conceded 12 goals in 5 games and only scored 3.We have conceded 4 goals twice in 8 days against teams that we''re in the bottom 3 or 4 of the league before we played them.We have played most of our best players in League Cup games but not in all league games.On top of that our substitions have been bizaar to say thye least.The Manger is obviously completely out of his depth & needs to go before we play again.I doubt if he''s got it in him to turn this around.

Kidderminster Exile 0 Posted August 26, 2017 As Mark Clemmit has just very eloquently pointed out on BBC''s Final Score - which you can watch via the play icon at the top of this page - Norwich have had a whopping 70.7% possession but still find themselves 4-0 down.It''s not how much ball you have, it''s how you use it!

AJ 1,218 Posted August 26, 2017 I don''t think you could make those stats up if you tried. Shows how awful we are at defending, and also shows how awful we are at doing anything productive with the ball. It clearly isn''t working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 517 Posted August 26, 2017 The positives are:70% possessionHopefully we never see Husband again. Stieperman looks much better at LBZimmerman & Klose surely can''t be any worse next game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted August 26, 2017 [quote user="nutty nigel"]Like that team👍They''ll have to be up for a scrap though. I thought there was more steel about the U23s last night, first team will need that today.OTBC[/quote]Back to this. Worthy always said the team have to earn the right to play their football. Seems like there was no steel and no battles won. That''s not about ability. It''s about attitude. It''s arrogant in the extreme to turn up like big time Charlies and expect to win because you''re better players. The defence will get the blame but the battles needed to be won all over the pitch.Maybe it is time to shake them up and play some kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted August 26, 2017 If you speak to almost any opposition fan and ask them about Norwich as a club in general you''ll get an answer along the lines of ''nice, tippy tappy football but a soft touch and poor defence''Thats''s been the case under pretty much every manager I can remember from 2004 onwards with the exception of Lambert. Every successful team now is loaded full of pace and power, strong players who can hold only the ball and break quickly, we seem intent on trying to build an identity on passing the ball along the ground. I''m not sure it''s going to work for us. Every team outside the top 7 in the PL is full of big, fast, powerful players and they get the ball forwards in the blink of an eye, we''re literally the opposite of that. I wonder if it comes from Webber or what the board considers the Norwich way? hmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
