Subs have killed us.

Over thought it. We were on top. Invited Cardiff to attack us and stopped playing our way

[Petriix 3,250]

Incredibly negative tactics got what they deserved. Very poor from our midfield, unable to string two passes together.

Lack of depth did us. Possibly needed the fresh legs as the likes of Sörensen hadn't played much, but it went wrong after that.

Yes, I think the league is so intense now you more or less have to use all your resources.  

We just don't really have those resources at the moment. Just couldn't keep the ball in the last few minutes.

Forson poor for both goals

Forson is ****ing ****, get rid of him 

[The Great Mass Debater 1,272]

Let's hope JHT learns from this one. His changes lost that

[damn that Ralph Coates! 74]

this is why Forson not getting picked

[Capt. Pants 5,152]

Well we fcuked that up.

Totally gave Cardiff the impetus with those subs.

Forson was absolutely abysmal.

 

[Fuzzar 1,878]

Really gutting defeat - snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. 

[River End Rocker 124]

Disappointing and no doubt the subs hurt us.  However,  Sorensen had played 30 mins of football all season before this match,  so was no doubt blowing.  Fisher was a red card waiting to happen.   Those two needed to come off and I don't blame JHT. I do question the quality of Forson and if there was a better option than Hanley to provide an outlet up top.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,704]

I’m so angry with that. 

Sainz probably can’t wait to leave. 

Why the hell does Thorup feel compelled to make wholesale changes, especially when a game is tight. He did it at Derby and we nearly threw that away. 

Absolutely pointless and amateurish concession of 3 points. Fuming.

[Jim Smith 2,664]

Very good for much of the game but that one is on JHT. I like him a lot but too many changes today and Hanley and Forson should not be on the pitch. 
Lost to the worst side I’ve seen us play. 

[unique 466]

Undeserved defeat…..

However, the game was potentially lost once Hanley and Forson entered the arena……

[Drazen Muzinic 1,512]

Well, that was disappointing but not unexpected after all those changes.

 

Suddenly a 'hard to beat' Norwich with 6 points from 12 turned into a 'poor form' Norwich with no wins and just 3 points in 12.

 

Still a tranformational season imho though and happy with the drama and fun we are creating.

[Robert N. LiM 6,442]

You can blame JHT if you like but I'm afraid I put it on with ten mins to go. I take full responsibility. Won't happen again

[Mike w 51]

too many changes to make at 0-1 when in control

[Drazen Muzinic 1,512]

Also...hahahahahahahaha - Binners snatch a draw from the jaws of their first win

The Hoff been found out now by teams - no excuse for this - time to rethink his game plan

I don’t think so. He found himself out today. 

[kick it off 2,062]

Angus Gunn. 9 conceded in 7.5 games.

George Long. 16 conceded in 6.5 games including the cup (8 in 4.5 in the league).

Not all his fault today, he didnt have much to do and not sure he could have done much about the goals (first maybe was suspect as it looked like he had time to react but thats probably harsh) but **** me, the stats don't lie. He is a problem.

Shot ourselves in the foot today with the subs when we didn't need to.

Anyone else get a feeling Borja is off come January?

Disagree. Looked good previously when he's come on, but looked well off the pace today and it cost us. Doesn't look match fit to me

Exactly this - we went far too defensive at the end and gave Cardiff the midfield after Lungi went off, Hanley past it and forson too slow and lightweight

People angry when no changes made. People angry when changes are made. Evidently no way to win as a manager 😂.

That said, we definitely threw that away but still, I would have taken a draw with a team where we're missing so many first teamers.

He deserve better than city - we just an average team - 

[The Great Mass Debater 1,272]

We are very much a one man team at the moment. Without Sainz's goals from nowhere we are very ordinary

[rock bus 1,108]

Can’t believe people piling in on JHT .

 Yes he made mistakes today and yes probably cost is the game.

 But like many of the players he is young and just learning about the English game.

 Done way more  right than wrong this season and I have no doubt we will continue to improve under him.

keep the faith!!

You can't defend a 1 goal lead. It almost always backfires

Most of us a 110% behind him but as you said he blew it for us today

What?

Just needlessly thrown away 3 points and you think I shouldn’t be pissed off?
