I get why Hoolahan has been picked, but not the choice of RvW over Hooper, unless the latter isn''t fully fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,173 Posted March 8, 2014 Hooper for Wes, really?Because Stoke are the team you really try to put two forwards on and lump the ball to, they are crap at defending against that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted March 8, 2014 If Hughton thinks RVW is going to save Norwich''s season, then the sooner a white van is summoned, the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted March 8, 2014 we need to get redmond more involved in the game, stoke havnt got a clue how to deal with him, get him on the right, take snodgrass off for pilkington, hooper for wolfjohnsons passing is getting worse lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,173 Posted March 8, 2014 I really feel for RVW, but can''t help feeling Hooper does so much of a better job of holding the ball up and bringing other players into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perky Canary 0 Posted March 8, 2014 These are the most difficult of games to change players. At times its working, and at others it isn''t. You can change one player, and the game goes in your favour, or it falls apart completely. Just remember at the end of the game, we have the benefit of hindsight. For me, Hooper on for Wes. He has created one or two chances, but not holding onto the ball enough for me. I''m confident in Snoddy and Redmond to find an opening, having Hooper sit between the lines will just add an extra second for support to get up for Ricky and himself.

Monty13 2,173 Posted March 8, 2014 Funny how people see it differently, for me Stoke have a slow lumbering defence and I''d rather see hooper on for RVW to keep the ball better and play through it, with Howson replacing BJ at some point if its still 0-0.Putting on two strikers and relying on Wingers to create your chances against Stoke feels like suicide.

Syteanric 1 Posted March 8, 2014 why would you resort to long ball with 2 up front?I would have put 2 strikers on allowing either of them to drop slightly deeper and look for the ball, Ricky one play Hoops the next, cause confusion by getting them to swap sides and so the centre backs end up split.Hooper will run, strong and direct at the defenders, drawing the fouls and bringing set piece opportunities.but then lets just lump it shall we?

Monty13 2,173 Posted March 8, 2014 You think with a CM of Tettey and Johnson we wont end up going direct? Hardly known for their inventiveness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted March 8, 2014 Unfortunately, if the current team fail to score, the odds of Hughton making any changes that will make a difference must weigh in at about 65/1 against....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
