Capt_Canary 0 Posted August 13, 2017 Both should of started, sorry but an error by manager.Whatever has gone on they are two of our best and changed Fulham game Not criticising as still get behind the boys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helsinki canary 240 Posted August 13, 2017 Agreed they should of started Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted August 13, 2017 Yes, first home game, they both should ''have'' started....especially with Wolves sniffing around Oliveira.Just have to hope that Farke is a quick learner - schoolboy error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 13, 2017 Our squad is not good enough. Wouldn''t have matter who''d started today. We lack solididty, we''re so vulnerable defensively, through midfield to defence. Farke hasn''t signed the right players that were needed. Vrancic, Reed.... we had better players in Howson and Dorrans. Webber has taken a massive gamble trying to replicate the Huddersfield model. That model worked once, and is by no means proven! We needed a different approach. We had the nucleus of promotion starting 11. We needed to add two or three and we''d have been very strong. Wholesale changes were not required. And now we''re relying on kids such as Maddison (who is quality) and Reed in the centre of the park to do battle with Wiley championship pros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 780 Posted August 13, 2017 Two games is too early to tell if the squad is good enough or not. However four goals in two games suggests that defensively we may need reinforcements at the back before the end of the month.Results early on were always going to be a mixed bag. Should have a better idea after 10-12 games. Certainly too early to panic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 13, 2017 Jerome wasteful?! who would have guessed it. Oliveira needs to start, stop messing him around and use him properly ffs. no good working hard if you can''t hit a barn door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted August 13, 2017 Last season we couldn''t defend but could score goals, now we can''t defend or score goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 13, 2017 look at the players missing from today''s starting 11 - Howson, Dorrans, Pritchard, Jacob, Ruddy & Oliveria. Appreciate Pritchard is injured, but If we were strong in the summer and kept this nucleas of players we''d be very strong. There''s is no way today''s starting 11 is a patch the players mentioned above. In all honesty, Franke and Zimmerman aren''t much, if at all, an upgrade on Bennett or Bassong.

ec-p 90 Posted August 13, 2017 Bassong on his day was head and shoulders above the current incumbents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted August 13, 2017 I really don''t see what Watkins brings to the party. Average at Fulham and missed a couple of sitters and I thought he was dreadful today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boris 56 Posted August 13, 2017 Farke seems have big ego and that should be a problem.First of all Jerome start 3rd in week who is too much for pressing hard player who never have good scoring ration.Nelson was enough banned during midwek with missing cup game +apologise to dressing room.Was crystal clear that need to be magician to use only 2 -3 players from last season and all to be fine so early.Carrow Road debut today we must used at least 3-4 more from old team ...Hoolahan,Tettey,Oliveira definitely starters today...
