Northern Canary 0 Posted December 3, 2005 Firstly the player ratings, pretty much all of them a disgrace.Green - 4 always hoofs it right back to the opposition, maybe his only option but poor distributionBrennan - 0. Panics on the ball, terrible passes, cant tackle.Doherty/Davenport - 4 They were under so much pressure but they gave a reasonable effortColin - 0. Doesnt close anyone down, cant mark anyone, cant pass and never goes forwardMcVeigh - 4 Looked lively but had no options what so ever when he had the ball.Etuhu - 5. He could be effective if he wasnt in such a crap teamRobinson - 2 didnt do anythingSafri - 3 looked OK. Not sure about missing matches because he is "tired". Didnt have the best of games but had our best chance,Henderson - 2 has TERRIBLE control, just rubbish. Made a few good runs and had a very good chance but should not be playing right wing.Thorne - 4. Heads it on and nobody is there. Not sure what else he could do thoughAshton - 5. If i were him i would leave as soon as i could, We are ruining a good player.Basically, the team has no clue at all of what to do. The main tactic - Hoof it up from greeno to the strikers who make no contact then it is back to Derby. WE cant string more than two passes together, we never close down the opposition and our defending is horrific. Whenever we start an attack we end up passing it all the way back to Green who hoofs it to Derby players. All match we kicked it straight back to them. No creativity, rubbish defending, no midfield and a disgraceful performance. IMO someone needs to say publically that we are facing relegation. That may get rid of this cocky "we are a prem team" attitude and get some fire in their bellies. Not a single one, apart from perhaps Deano, Thorne and McVeigh looked at all bothered. We need to get a new manager and coach in. I suggest Burley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted December 4, 2005 i cant believe that Colin is getting 0 and robinson Higher.. he was atrocious!i didnt even realise he had finished the game still on the field! he was non existant and at Least Colin made an effort.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo007 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Dire stuff.Makes me laugh when other fans always refer to norwich as a "good passing team" ~ when was this?! 1993Long ball to Ashton, who isn''t a target man. Absolutely no creativity. Can anyone see us winning another away game this season!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
