Well that was somewhat depressing.

[Guest]

Damned by faint praise on the coverage I''m watching:  "Norwich not really threatening. They''ve certainly run around."

[Kanadyan Kanary 121]

Well that was a boring half.  Things can only get better!

If Hughton is looking for better leadership on the pitch, why on earth is Ruddy captain?

Bizarre.

Well, technically they don''t JUST show up when we''re losing, either. Or does "technically" not apply to your comments?

Who''s having pops at whom? I pointed out your hypocrisy is all. If you think I''m here for your sake, you think WAY too much of yourself. Many many many fellow contributors to this board think that about you. It''s half time. Go drink some more beer.

Because he''s a better leader than Bassong? Quite clearly.... He''s actually vocal and seemed interested in defusing a situation with the Ref. Unlike Bassong who probably doesn''t utter a word to his team mates and hides from the Ref.

No real goal threat with plenty of running around (headless chicken style). Commentator sums up a CH Norwich team perfectly.

[Syteanric 1]

Ekoku made an interesting point in the first halfbe it 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, None of it has worked this season...perhaps we just aren’t good enough.

Off with Snodgrass and Johnson, on with Redmond and Wes

[Herman 9,710]

[quote user="Gingerpele"]Well that was somewhat depressing.[/quote]

Yep. Picked up a bit as the half came to an end but still way short if we want anything out of it. Hopefully it''s one of our infamous ''one decent half'' games.

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

Still confident my prediction of 2-1 to us will happen.

 

Redmond has to come on second half and attack Davis at speed....

on the basis we are 5h1t3 and it cant get any worse id take tettey off for hoolahan, drop howson back and wes goes in the hole, redmond on for snodgrass, and martin on for whittaker

Hughton should be sacked tonight

Pitiful half.

Hoolahan on for Johnson to start.

Anyone on for Whittaker who i''m not sure is actually a professional football player, he''s probably an actor.

[Houston Canary 0]

We''ll at least one positive has come from the first-half....

....it''s come to an end.

One look at the table tells you that. I''m just surprised that people still think it will change, it won''t. We are a 1 point per game average team and will finish with 36-38 points. It''s been obvious since last November.

Don''t agree with that.  A formation is just that, a formation.  It all depends how you play and what the tactics are within that formation.....

Bit like you and the current state of our Club then LDC?!

[Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . . 0]

After that peformance, i honestly believe 19 out of 20 managers in the premier league would be making changes at half time.

[Houston Canary 0]

Why dont you go check, moronty? Technically, well over .5% of my posts are about football, but your point was that I''m here only to have a go at you.

Dry your eyes, stiffen up your blubbering lips, grab a cold one and try to enjoy the second half. We play a bad half most games, so logically thinking, the next half will be much better.

[Kanadyan Kanary 121]

Genuine question - Can anyone recall a tactical substitution before the 60th minute under Hughton? 

[Darth Catbeard The Old 0]

FFS already look how deep the midfield has started. This is pathetic, there''s cautious and then there''s down right defeatist and cowardly
