These statistics show that Norwich have big problems in their defence Martin Olsson and Michael Turner have made more mistakes than most individuals. Russell Martin is just as bad. We need either go with a different partnership in our defence - start with Ryan Bennett when he is fully fit and bring back Bassong from Watford - or play Cuellar or Miquel...

If Norwich can sort out their defensive problems they will gain more points and win more games...

Agreed, miggins. How curious that more goals are conceded when a defender makes a mistake than when a striker or midfielder does it. It is seriously concerning that our defenders'' mistakes get punished in this way more frequently than when our strikers do. It''s almost as if...as if there are fewer players providing cover behind defenders than there are behind midfielders and strikers(!) Adams must do something with the shape of the team to rectify this.

If only we had defenders like every other team in the Championship, who never make mistakes...ever!

Oh, and PERHAPS IF I WRITE LOADS OF GUFF IN CAPITALS PEOPLE WILL TAKE ME MORE SERIOUSLY!!!?

As we have only conceded 12 goals I don''t quite get the OP''s list, it appears there are more than 1 player being ''blamed'' for each goal. which is of course possible but for example against Bournemouth: Russ Martin and Whittaker both failed to mark Wilson who had a tap in. If they both marked him then that would be wrong too, surely only one is supposed to mark him, oh and BTW forwards are paid to lose their marker and score goals.

Then it appears against Cardiff; Russ Martin gave the ball to Hoolahan who is then tackled and loses it, both being ''blamed''by the OP, and again BTW players are paid to tackle and win the ball!

Am I missing something here? as it appears to me we could say Jerome passed it left at the KO, which led to a goal!!
