Canary On The Wire 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Listen (as a certain Glaswegian often said)We can have as much ball in and around the box as we like. We can even have big blokes like Jerome and Lafferty attacking the ball in the box as much as we like. But crossing will always be an inefficient scoring method. If it wasn''t, Tony Pulis'' Stoke would have won the league.Michael Turner should be ashamed of himself for his attempt at defending the first, and Ruddy more so the second. It''s terrible!Until we remember how to defend and how to create chances consistently with focused passing in accordance with this ''Norwich Way'', we are going to remain in the Championship midtable.I don''t like to be negative, but unless Phelan sorts this out and quick, we are going to be spending at least another year in this division.

Branston Pickle 3,654 Posted November 29, 2014 I was saying just that last week, Cantiaci - while the binners are playing far better than the sum of their parts, we''re not even close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted November 29, 2014 Must be time to give San Miguel a try at the back as he can''t be no worse.And next time the team sheet goes up can someone please rub out the "y" at the end of Ruddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted November 29, 2014 True you can''t call the defensive mistakes playing well but we are not being dominated. Silly mistakes that are not in Adams control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted November 29, 2014 Yes Really Orford. We know who picks the team. Most would pick Turner and Ruddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jules 0 Posted November 29, 2014 I think Gary Birtles had it right when he said on The Radio Nottingham postmatch phone-in the other week that "Norwich have got some good players but they''re not a good team." Responsibility for that surely rests with Adams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted November 29, 2014 [quote user="bristolcanary"]True you can''t call the defensive mistakes playing well but we are not being dominated. Silly mistakes that are not in Adams control.[/quote]What a bizarre post... Adams signed three central defenders in the summer, and leaves all three on the sidelines, instead he plays a right back - Martin - as a central defender. This decision also moves our first choice central defender Turner to the left side (he usually plays on the right).Our best central defender is currently lining up for one of our rivals.All of this is under Adams control.

Orford65 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Sorry Bristol, not having a go, just totally frustrated with watching what could be a good team go down the pan whilst the Board sit on their hands and do nothing.Phelan is not the answer, we need a proper manager in now!

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Oddly, there seems to be little defending of Adams whereas last season, half the regulars were so far up Houghton''s butt, they could taste what he was eating. Oh, you don''t have certificates or experience as a manager so you shouldn''t doubt those who do. They know what they''re doing. Bunch of blind jagaloons.
