Syteanric 1 Posted December 22, 2017 [quote user="Scot-e-dog"]How can we consistently be outnumbered at the back when we commit so few forward?[/quote]Dean Ashton has answered this on Talksport now.. the players seem to not know what their jobs are, you''ve got Pinto walking back in the centre circle when Brentford are attacking.Laziness and lack of instruction.

Making Plans 936 Posted December 22, 2017 The trouble is that we are so predictably poor. The opposing coaches don''t have to be that clever to work out how to beat us.And yet, despite that, nothing ever changes.From BBC - The difference between the two teams is the amount of support up in attack. Brentford have a ton of options, Norwich have one or two in the box at most at any one time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 435 Posted December 22, 2017 A fine Christmas present for Norwich City fans - 45 minutes of football that confirms we are a lot worse than many Norwich supporters care to admit to......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,605 Posted December 22, 2017 Interesting tweet from Paddy Davitt."42: 0-2 Persisting with Vrancic and Reed with Trybull/Tettey available is bordering on negligence #ncfc" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scot-e-dog 34 Posted December 22, 2017 Listening to Dean Ashton on Talksport is really interesting.He is desperately trying to find something positive to say about Norwich, but simply cannot. The word "lazy" is being used far too often as is "poor defending" and "don''t know basic roles". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleCanary 0 Posted December 22, 2017 For the first time in my life supporting city I don’t really care whether we lose good players in January or not. If Madders and Pritchard go, then meh. We apparently had a team of underperformers last season and finished top 10. What the f@ck do you call the players this season then? Disgraceful by our board and club.

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted December 22, 2017 Horrific. So open in midfield. No hindsight needed with those two utter frauds Vrancic and Watkins playing ahead of Tettey and Trybull.I hope the crowd turn hugely and the atmosphere is toxic.

Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted December 22, 2017 I got hammered on here at the start of the season for arguing that 1. The board need to go 2. The new players are nowhere near good enough as price reflects 3. We are sleepwalking to relegation This is awful and I stand y every one of those points. Especially one - stale air is surrounding the leadership of this club. We have nosedived since Bowkett got forced out and the old guard swapped him for Ed balls. Relegation fight is on and I see nothing to suggest we have the fight to avoid it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted December 22, 2017 Awful. Simply awful.Too many players don''t seem to care. I wonder if there really is something going on with the squad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those useless pr**ks who own us need to get the message. The only thing that can save the inevitable decline we are in into league 1 is a toxic atmosphere against the owners I’m afraid. There is no point aiming it at the manager and players as the same mistakes will be repeated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

he 0 Posted December 22, 2017 The players are resting before Christmas it seems. The crisis is continuing. There are so many players who don’t deserve to wear the club colours and should be heading out of the club along with Farke.Ivo Pinto for example is one of the worst captains ever to captain the side. Stiepermann is terrible, Oliveira is terrible. It is as alwys shocking to see Vrancic in the side. Extremely worrying management when you have Tettey and Trybull on the bench and the manager decides to use one of the worst players in the clubs history.

Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted December 22, 2017 What concerns me is that should we end up in a relegation scrap ... do we have the scrappers here to grind out the points???I can''t see them.We are a tippy tappy team with dubious technical ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 662 Posted December 22, 2017 I don''t think one player giving a sh1t will help us, especially Russ Martin, although I know what you are saying.The entire squad doesn''t have the stomach for the fight. They need to win this game 3-2 to prove me wrong. This is a huge half of football, and I agree, if we lose, we are in a relegation scrap, and we don''t have the players or management to get us out of it.

Scot-e-dog 34 Posted December 22, 2017 There is nothing to lose for the rest of the season now. I would make 8 or 9 changes before the next game. It cannot be worse, so drop the players that are not playing for the badge and do something new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bad Wolf 0 Posted December 22, 2017 Well the board put faith in the duo of Webber and Farke to get us out of the Championship. They are on course for that. Personally I have lost patience with all the BS supporters are being fed. The dynamic duo need to go...along with most of the board. What utter garbage we are being served up. Unless there is the biggest comeback since Lazarus big changes are needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
