I'm not sure we can take anything from today's performance though, against a rubbish team for a game that doesn't mean anything. Indeed. Context is key. We are knocking it about the pitch, dominating possession...against a League One club. And still losing. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The club hierarchy have it so easy at ‘good ole ship Norwich’. With a free day off work for most and Pukki’s last game the timing couldn’t have been better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 520 Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Pukki's off to HJK Helsinki apparently. I don't think he'd be good enough for them right now. Edited May 8, 2023 by Michael Starr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norwich have been the better side by far and there have been some excellent passages of play with decent passing and movement leading to lots of half-chances which, on another day, would have flown in. Pukki hit the post and had a good effort deflected inches over. The keeper has made a good save and they've ridden their luck. Ultimately the result makes zero difference. We're looking far more coherent than we have for weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 854 Posted May 8, 2023 Game has summed up the season, we don’t look that bad but no real quality or fight. I was starting to get optimistic about next season but unless there is a complete overhaul of the first 11 we will be bottom half team. the only thing I want from this game is a goal for Pukki, he deserves better than this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that we have been the better team but we are playing against the worst team in the league. Which may be why it looks a bit better than the Swansea game, but not by much.

I wouldn't disagree, at least in terms of possession - but we are playing a league one team at home, so I would very much expect this to be the case. The problem is, every time they've gone forward, we look like conceding. A simple ball over the top and we were nearly 2-0 down. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good goal keeping and good fortune is about all the opposition have offered. Sometimes you go through long periods when you get less than you deserve. This will eventually turn. I'm here too, and what I witnessed in the first half was both full backs leaving the defence over exposed many times without anyone covering in and Blackpool playing us on the counter perfectly. We're understandably playing everything through Pukki and it's making it easier for Blackpool to defend against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
