Midfield, pull your finger's out!

Recommended Posts

The defence looks good, the strikers cut a lonely figure.   Basically, midfield you need to get yourselves sorted out and start putting in early crosses.  So many time we watch you dither, delay, wait, before trying to put in the final ball.   I don''t doubt your ability, you can pass it around ok, but the decision making is often poor.    Pass it around by all means, but sometimes you need to recognise when to get the ball in early and preferably with quality.      Garrido did it yesterday a couple of times,  Martin showed us how against Everton with a quality ball in..   But what about the rest of you??    Its not happening enough.   Holt, or whoever is up front can''t do it without the ball.     

We need to score goals as well as defend well.   Its not down to tactics, its down to you the players to realise what you  need to do.   Get the ball in  when the opportunity is there.   If you wait, 99% of the time the chance is lost and spaces closed down.     Quick thinking is what is needed and less predictability.   When the chance is there deliver the ball,  or at least try to.   Too often we see you waiting, dithering, delaying.   Sometimes, just sometimes, you need to get the ball in early.     

I know players don''t read these boards, but its getting so frustrating watching a good team not creating enough chances.   Get yourselves sorted out!

Johnson, Howson and Snodgrass were not good enough to get Leeds out of the Championship. Should we be surprised they are struggling to keep Norwich in the Premiers League?

What a silly thing to say, even more so that Snodgrass as arguably been our best player all season and BJ as been very reliable

The midfielders are playing in a way they are being told, this is more about the management team getting the right balance between attacking and defending, they obviously have a flair for the defensive side of the game which has improved hugely, but so far havent seen barely anything to suggest there is any idea of getting the players to express themselves and play with confidence in an attacking sense, imo the players often look scared to do anything spontaneous that might break the system in place.

You are so right, not what you want entering the crucial final stages of the season

Get real C D Mullins, these guys haven''t cut the mustard for us . They create zero scoring chances for us and score no goals themselves. Next season we seriously need to look for quality replacements ? We no longer need to settle for second best

Snodgrass has had most of his success this season from dead ball situations.

He is certainly a culprit for cutting back onto his left foot and dithering on the ball.

We have had a serious lack of service all season. No wonder Holty isn''t scoring.

I''d rather our midfielders DIDN''T pull their fingers out. Last thing we need is for more injuries - and who would be able to take the quick throw-ins?
