Norwich - Palace Match thread

Hughton seems to be much more willing to switch the wingers now, this is the 2nd time that Wes has gone to the left and Redmond right, it''s nice to see. Also, HOOPER! [:D]

Cool head from Hooper. Great stop from Olsson.

[Phillip J Fry 0]

Well, that was nervy! Just need to see out this half.

[Mr Angry 1,545]

I must apologise to Ray Houghton!

Unfortunately it doesn''t look like palace are out of this..  Elmander is looking very poor today :(

[Syteanric 1]

RVW wouldn''t have been there to score the goal hooper did...

[Herman 9,710]

Elmander? Needs to get his thinking a bit quicker.

[Phillip J Fry 0]

Seems to be a lack of protection from the midfield, they need to help out the back four more.

Christ Bannan is a moaner.. shut up man!

Wes, despite his lack of match-fitness, is looking sharp on that right-hand side, drifts centrally creates the overload in the centre and then attempts a pass in behind. He''s overhitting them at the minute, but that is due to a lack of playing-time.

Would be nice if Fer would shake the sleepy dust from his eyes and start playing. He hasn''t shown up yet.

2 points about that last palace attack:

1) Elmander needed to get back much quicker, Howson almost had to abandon his defensive position to apply the pressure that Elmander should have.

2) Fer took too much of a risk in the centre of midfield, it took good work from Wes and Howson to bail him out.

Wes is taking his chance with both hands today.

I believe he will sadly sometimes give the ball away but it''s usually because he is trying to make things happen.

Impressed with him today. Redmond is also having a very good game.

Downside, we still look a little nervous at the back

[Mr Angry 1,545]

Good place for a free kick, a second before halftime would be nice.

[Phillip J Fry 0]

Redmond and Wes have switched wings again, definite tactical choice on Hughton''s part.

Regardless of whether he''s done it before.

Bannon has his pout on.  Poor soul.

[Orly 277]

Russ Martin is having a great half thus far.

[ReadingCanary 0]

Hoolahan and Fer getting on very well

[iron_stan 0]

ahhh now if only we had two nathan redmonds, one with a left footsnodgrass wouldnt get in the team

[Adycakes 5]

I''d take a Redmond who can cross! :D

He''s playing very well but his crossing has been poor.

[Phillip J Fry 0]

Good first half. Redmond and Wes deserve alot of credit for their attacking play, Redmond has looked dangerous when running at players and Wes is just such a brilliant footballer, so intelligent and quick with the pass. Howson also deserves a mention, he hasn''t really had the opportunity to burst forward into attacking areas but has been disciplined defensively and very quick and efficient when passing.

The manager should have cleared away the dead wood that is Snodgrass and Pilkington long ago but it''s left to an injury "crisis" to get players in the team who actually deserve to be there.

[Herman 9,710]

Good first half. Deserve to be up but can''t write off Palace. Should be a nervy second half.

[Herman 9,710]

Dead wood???????? WTF!!

[NWC 239]

some people ------  unbelievable!!!!

[ron obvious 1,498]

Totally, utterly chuffed for Wes. Let''s hope he can carry on from here, get his range sighted properly, & he''ll turn defences upside down!
