Guest Posted September 15, 2018 Enjoying the game at the moment. Our more attacking style far more pleasing on the eye and more to get excited about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,272 Posted September 15, 2018 We will find out today if our two young full backs are up to the hype.If Tettey is for the glue factory.If Buendia is likely to be a good ''unWhy DF loves Stiepermann so much.and so much more.A little bit of tinkering going on but that''s always the problem when the squad seems much the muchness.Good test today.Come out of it with a three pointer and we will be on the up. Lose and it will be as indecisive result as the last.Prediction time then: about 1-1.% time: Norwich win 30%Boro win 30%Draw 40% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 282 Posted September 15, 2018 We are flattering to deceive as Farke plays no centre forwards. We look ''ok'' but don''t look like scoring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,958 Posted September 15, 2018 Not a bad first half so far, some nice positive attacking play at times....but lacking a cutting edge. Boro have been very quiet but have had the best chance. Need to take advantage when you''re on top...or you know what will happen.OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The plan appears to be get it to Tettey to volley from the edge of the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,062 Posted September 15, 2018 Decent performance against a good Boro team. Pukki is a number 10, he isnt great leading the line but thats the only gripe for me at the moment. Aside from that we''ve been bright and positive. Played some lovely football too. Need to get a goal though.Especially liked Klose paying homage to Adrian Coote (who is co-commentating) with that shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,734 Posted September 15, 2018 Sounds like a solid performance against one of the better teams in this division. A goal would be the cherry on the top.Interesting to see if we can sustain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,272 Posted September 15, 2018 "A goal would be the cherry on the top."Wouldn''t it be just? Perhaps we need Rhodes to poach one?Just seen on TV that the binners are losing at Hull so a win for us and a little hammering for them would be the cherry on top as we ply for local supremacy.

Guest Posted September 15, 2018 Don''t see any point in crossing into the box with four or five giants waiting.Against a second placed team, we are unlikely to sacrifice our midfield dominance in the search for a goal.Just get nervous now and again with the CB''s and their sloppy passing.

hogesar 10,698 Posted September 15, 2018 Dominated first half. Lacking a goal but we have been good. Leitner quality and Buendia and Hernandez are a handful. Boro are 2nd for a reason and will have a spell of dominance. Hopefully we ride it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 282 Posted September 15, 2018 That''s the thing. We do look alright, but when you play no strikers, then what do you expect the outcome to be? We are playing not to lose, which is back to the Hughton by the throat era, though slightly more entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,958 Posted September 15, 2018 Slow start to the 2nd half. Think Boro might up it as we get nearer to the 90. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
