1902 1,167 Posted November 6, 2021 1 minute ago, Christoph Stiepermann said: We got the goal by playing differently though. We got at them quickly, using Rashica's pace, we didn't let them dictate the pace at the start and Normann was direct and ran at them to score the goal. We also pressed, and PLM being higher up the pitch makes a difference to that because he gets at players.

They’ve had a cracking start to the season and were unlucky in their most recent home defeat to Leicester. Fickle bunch! To be fair who wants to be the first club to lose to Norwich ? The shame 😨  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,155 Posted November 6, 2021 In any of the other 10 games this season at around the time we scored the first we'd have still been knocking it about at a snails pace between our CB's before losing it when trying to progress slowly and they've have had us penned in early. Instead we saw something we haven't seen once yet, some aggression, pace, energy, players taking on a man and not p155ing about with it playing slow sideways and backwards passes in our own half like we usually do. Why did it have to take 11 games for us to get to this point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzar 1,705 Posted November 6, 2021 Good half, but a long way from over. Hope we keep the energy up in the middle as they have played through us a few times. We also looked a little suspect on those long throws - need to make sure we win the first header. But some good performances all over the pitch - keep it up lads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Raumdeuter III 77 Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Well done, Norwich! Despite whiffs of a championship game, with us having a lot more space on the ball, I have to give the players and Farke credit where it’s due. Brentford have had some dangerous spells of pressure. Those long throws and corners are dangerous. We’ve done alright at fending them off so far. Brandon Williams had a fine first half. He was solid defensively, and found the ball in excellent positions after coming inside on his right and using the half-space like fast lane. Brentford have looked open in those positions. Normann scored a superb goal. He was positive and finished smartly after a couple of jinking touches. He has also mopped up infront of the back line, and pressed high when needed. Overall impressed with the Norwich mettle/ s’housery. We’ve conceded fouls when needed. These players have grown up a little to show a resolute half. We’ve pressed more situationally, and pressed well and won many turnovers, and haven’t gotten ourselves overstretched , or overrun on the counter. Far more balanced. We will undoubtedly come under pressure in this second half and Frank will probably alter his shape. 2 well deserved goals. Hopefully the big first half performance can be taken into the second, with the players regaining some self belief. Edited November 6, 2021 by Mr. Raumdeuter III Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This team does seem to need confidence quite badly, so I don't expect the second half to be quite as fluid, but frankly if we scrape a win by body-slamming the goalie into the post and it bounces in after someone miskicked and hit the referee in the face, I don't care. Just win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is likely to be one of the few teams we feel we can do this with. But Im pretty sure we'd still be playing 3 at the back if not for the CB situation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damn that Ralph Coates! 47 Posted November 6, 2021 Great to be supporting the team for a change instead of pant wetting about changing manager. Hope we won't see any posts of "if we win today then we will be relegated" etc 🙄 Off the bottom, above Newcastle, 2 points short of Burnley. Let's get behind the team. Remember the "Chase out" brigade?
