As wrong as subbing Nunez for Dowell, or not that bad?

No. Just wrong. Taking Nunez off for Dowell wasn't wrong. Nunez was playing poorly - so was everybody - and we needed changes to freshen it up.

I didn't say it wasn't, I said I couldn't tell as Bryam's back was to me. 

It does seem we've got away with one though, poor display take the point and move on.

Our goal if anyone hasn’t seen it

Smith may  be a **** manager but he's a hell of a good luck charm. 

[Ian 1,129]

We looked absolutely drained, physically and mentally today.

So many basic errors, I am amazed we managed an equaliser and a point.

Onto the next ..

Yeah, so maybe take off players who are playing very poorly, rather than just poorly? And put on the better players from your bench as well? Radical idea, I know.

Apparently Smith is proactive and responsive. He'll sort it out guys.

Haha, yes exactly. I know it's not the narrative you and many want, but you have to face facts. He did act and it did change the game.

That being said, we simply weren't creative enough today. WBA did what most (and the opposite of what Bristol did) teams will do at CR and frustrated and played on the break. They gained confidence from our comical passing at the back and were more the likely to score a winner.

Takes loads of energy physically and mentally to point at everything like that. 

An ordinary player would give up pointing after 20mins at most. 

Kenny will go out with a pulled bicep if he's not careful

Almost as amazed as when we got 3 points on Wednesday.

Once teams see past our reputation and realise we're actually there for the taking, rather than a team they're happy to get a point from, we're ****ed.

Sorry, but with Ramsey on the pitch we're effectively playing with 10 men

? Best player today. Teemu lethargic, Andy O misplacing passes all over, Nunez poor, Sarge not at his best, Sara disappointing apart from clipping the bar, Onel AMAZING, nice touches from Dowell, Sam OK, Hanley Ok, Krul miskicking, Max frustrating, Kenny .. well ... (shrugs) ...

Got away with that one. Bit worrying all round.

The same people who were saying Smith out early in the season despite better performances you mean?

Not been at our best without question, but points on the board.

Absolute b******s

[dylanisabaddog 4,873]

Due to a dose of the lurgy I had to watch that at home.  You get a completely different perspective watching it by alternative means. 

Ramsey is a L2 player at best

We lean heavily on a kid at the back

Whatever Cantwell's personal faults he really should be starting 

If we are top 2 in the Championship, God help the rest

This is the worst Norwich team I've seen in quite a long time. 

I watched with the help of a Radio Norfolk commentary. I will never trust Radio Norfolk again

I'm almost certain that had Smith been out in the summer and replaced with someone else we'd have even more of those points on the board.

[Ken Hairy 3,760]

Ramsey was literally the only player who gets any credit today 🤷

[BroadstairsR 2,138]

The large crowd deserved much, much better than that 90 minutes of clueless football. I felt for them.

I switched my stream off after about 60 minutes, and I hadn't paid a single penny for being privilege to that turgid stuff, so I really cannot complain of being short-changed.

 

If I had been allowed to pay for coverage, and I was most willing to fork out, I would have considered it a tenner down the drain.

That much praised management team of ours are paid enormous sums to rectify situations like today. If they are unable to in any way shape or form, then they are short-changing their employers. 

Don't mind dropping a point or two every so often as long as there is a game of football to watch.

Yes really, most people around me said similar too. Not saying the lad was world class, but he was better than anyone else in yellow.

"Ramsey is a L2 player at best"

 

Quite an exagiration

 

"We lean heavily on a kid at the back"

 

Mostly true. Two of them, in fact.

Correct

 

 "If we are top 2 in the Championship, God help the rest"

 

Does make you wonder don't it?

 

"This is the worst Norwich team I've seen in quite a long time."

 

False, the worst Nowich team I have seen in a long time was the side team that drew 0-0 twice to burton albion and finished in the table with Ipswich in a better position

Smith out. 
Still getting away with it. 
Still cannot take to him.

No it's not an exaggeration. Ramsey couldn't hold down a place at Cheltenham last year. Now we know why. All eleven players have to defend when you haven't got the ball. He's a liability. 

The team that finished below Ipswich was quite a long time ago. 

[canarydan23 4,060]

Just now, Ian said:

Yes. Someone like Farke. Though that quite a narrow pool, I'd have settled for picking from the better than Smith pool, which is considerably larger.

Dramatic nonsense, we’re 2nd top not 2nd bottom. It was crap today but let’s be rational. 

[hogesar 9,618]

People crying over the fact Dean Smith has us 7 unbeaten, 6 wins in a row, picking up points and changing games with his subs even when we arent playing well. It's the best feeling ever. Is there a way of injecting their tears into my veins??
