rich 0 Posted August 22, 2005 I have to agree - it''d be easy to blame the defeat onbad luck but we looked second best in all departments. ''Both the centre halves look way past it (Malky looked embarrasing slow), the midfield seemed incapable of stringing two passes together and simply isn''t hungry enough for the 50-50''s, (why is it every side seems to stroll up to our penalty box without any challenge?) andthe strikers are painfully predictable. Finally, our ball retention was appalling. Bottom line is that although the nucleus is there we are deficient in too many areas to challenge right at the top of this league.---posted two years ago, but could almost be relevant now.on the one hand you could say worthy proved the doubterswrong two years ago, on the other hand the doubters couldclaim same old issues not addressed two years on.I''m happier with this team than I was then, lets hopethe tactical problems can be recognized and rectified soon though.

Rasputin was a C... 0 Posted August 22, 2005 It''s kind of spooky how you can use a review of a match from 2 years ago and it still has relevance to this seasons efforts so far. I don''t believe I''m a moaner and always support to team, manager blah blah, but you have to say that at this moment in time... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

rich 0 Posted August 22, 2005 i agree with you rasputin, it''s very much a case of being backto square one again, at least in terms of position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tufnell Park Canary 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Indeed, you''re both right. The real worry is that 2 years ago we relied on the miraculous signing of Huckerby and his magnificent display, but can we get to perform a similiar miracle this time round? I see Darren Anderton has gone to Wolves - he could have been the answer this year.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rasputin was a C... 0 Posted August 24, 2005 I know this report is from a very sore game for us City fans but I think you''ll find the quote rings true. And what makes it worse is that this was over 3 years ago yet some of the problems are still very much evident in Norwich City matches right now."All that kept Norwich in the match was their prodigious work rate and the fact that Bent and Ambrose were misfiring. Ambrose was particularly guilty in the 15th minute, blasting wildly high from close range, and the same player headed Bent''s cross wide when unmarked soon afterwards.With Iwan Roberts the bluntest of instruments up front and no one capable of putting his foot on the ball in midfield, Norwich were reduced to the occasional pot shot from distance."
