Looked at least a foot out, but the keeper was blocking the furthest away quarter of the goal, so it was a decent effort... Jaysus! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,760 Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Created a few good openings but it's taken 60 ish minutes - again it's pre-season and with so much player turnover you never really see proper patterns develop. Springett good play to give Sargent a chance in the area, Gibbs with a good chance just outside the area. Idah with a tap in (missed) but I think a flag went up Edited July 25, 2023 by hogesar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I don’t know - maybe once in a while a positive perspective might be slipped in?! At the end of the day, you do need to consider the level of side we’re playing - a top flight French team, this after a team who played a Euro semi-final. The point is that we could easily have gone for L2 level teams, looked brilliant and given ourselves no test. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Holt 522 Posted July 25, 2023 It must be said, with all the usual pre season caveats, that this is terrible. Absolutely nothing creative in this team set up in this way with this manager.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,800 Posted July 25, 2023 We dont look like scoring...but I'm holding onto the fact that many of the opposition faced in this pre season may be of a higher standard than the majority of teams in our league?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes - I get heat for being negative but we are on a run of 1 win in 11 and I don’t see any signs we have plugged the terrible gaps at end of last season in terms of creativity and goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're going to have likely 5 different players in the starting line-up to how last one ended. Almost half the team. Our lack of creativity and goals was only when we hit the big injury crisis. When we had a fully fit team we'd scored 19 goals in 9 under Wagner. By all means do your usual criticising the team, squad, manager, owners. But let them own it in their own right rather than tagging on last-seasons results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holt 522 Posted July 25, 2023 Defensively we looks as solid as a rock, but when there’s nothing coming at the other end it puts more pressure on those boys. Carrow Road is a powder keg waiting to go off and I see nothing to tell me that they’re good enough to avert it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the negative side however up top is.. Rather concerning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
