The system is right, the players are right so what is the issue?

The manager.

There is a lack of belief from the players in the manager and vice versa. A club like Norwich cannot afford to be in this situation and therefore Hughton should be replaced. It was a logical appointment by NCFC with the best intentions that (unfortunately) in my opinion, will never, ever work out.

This is easy. We''re third from bottom. So in all likelihood none of the above is right. By definition.

The system could be fine. The players could be fine. But these players are not fine for this system.

We have spent our transfer budget on two modern strikers who like to make runs in behind the last defender and who thrive on balls slid in behind the defenders. Who need a creative midfielder to play these balls. It doesn''t have to be Wes, but someone like Wes, an old fashioned number 10 if you like. We''ve played one such ball all season (Fer to Hooper against Watford).

However, we play three combative central midfielders. And rely on the wings for creativity. Which means a succession of crosses. Mostly delivered late because two of our three fit wingers lack pace, and because they are played on the "wrong" side and have to cut back before crossing. Which could still be fine if we had a Holt or even a Morrison to win these balls. But we don''t.

Right players: wrong system. Or, if your prefer: right system: wrong players.
