2nd half Tommy!

A gasper

Happy to come out of the half without conceding, LJ need to tweak things at half time. Think we can take this

 

[HoldenBall]

Norwich should be 2 up, our final ball is lacking massively. Still we looked good in spells. 

[JoeAman08]

Young team, busy couple of weeks and away to a capable team. At Reading they grew into the game. Hopefully a case of similar today. Good to see us keeping it 0-0 and make a couple adjustments HT. 

[iamalagerdrinker]

Very average first half for both teams, I'd stick Pack on second half  

[Super]

Been watching on fb page decent half we havent really got going as an attacking force maybe a bit lucky to be level with Norwich missing some good chances.

[Esmond Million's Bung]

We are not playing badly at all.

Diedhiou is far too nice, he needs show far more aggression, Leko needs to wake up the game is passing him by, we as a team at times over complicate things especially Reid.

But there is something in this game for us, Norwich have been very bitty.

[BCFC Grim]

A game of really poor quality. Leko having a bit of a mare. Along with all our creative players to be fair. Games there to win but an improvement is needed.

[iamalagerdrinker]

Just noticed i've hit over 1,000 posts.. I'm having a party  

[Red-Robbo]

Right. I'm off to mow the lawns.

Can the rest of you make sure we win it in the second half.

Thank you very much.

Where is this?!

[old_eastender]

HT 0-0. Leko has not been able to get into the game at all, Reid seems to not be quite at the races either - despite no shortage of effort. Would expect to see COD on for Leko.  A few comments about Pack, not so sure game would suit him as Norwich are trying to break quickly through midfield when they (all too often) steal it from our forward players. Pack's lack of pace would get him exposed I think. Korey playing well and Brownhill getting around a lot.

[Bar BS3]

We have reverted back to scoring our goals in the second half. The game starts now for us! 

[JamesBCFC]

Havent commented on this thread yet, which is odd.

Obviously that was the problem and we will win the second half.

[megansdad]

Patterson cross early probably should have picked out Famara, while Leko should have done better in six yard box with back to goal from a corner. Even 1st half though Norwich did have the clearer chances. Open and game there to win.

[The dastardly red]

Reckon we need to score to get a draw here.

liking Zak on the commentary btw

[shelts]

No need for a big un, Fammy off Taylor on for me 

[BCFC Rich]

My sum up: Norwich have had the better of it, but we have been decent. We’ve looked dangerous and had chances. We have also had a good amount of possession. 

I’d say 1st goal will make a huge difference if we get it the game would be there for the taking.  I'd give Leko a little bit of time on the left 2nd half see if he has some joy but otherwise, we need to swap him out. Think Taylor could cause them problems with his movement - so if we wanted to be really brave you could swap him for Leko push Brownhill right and have Bobby in behind a front two of FD and MT with Smith sitting and PAtts on the left. (although that's probably a bit gung-ho for Norwich away!).

On a side note, the atmosphere is terrible. City fans are making some noise but Norwich are virtually silent awful support.

[Fordy62]

The signs are there. Reminds me of the Reading game. Leko having a poor game, but we're well in it. 

Set pieces are a complete disaster and Norwich look good on the break. 

Hopefully step it up a gear second half. 

[Otiz Mir]

Is there radio commentary available in the UK without paying via the site?

[tts_city]

Glad to see Leko moving to the left later on in the second half, he plays alot better over there, hopefully he continues over there second half.

Are the gardener and butler having the same day off old bean?.

[wendyredredrobin]

Looks a fairly even 1st half grom the stats, but haven't been able to follow the game too closely.

[Lew-T]

One thing I miss about Luke Freeman, his set pieces were always of quality. Nicely whipped in! We've got probably the most dangerous centre half pairing in the division and we're not using it.

Other than that, I'm happy with. We're in the game!

I am not watching but it is frustrating hearing us get caught on the break away from home. Shouldn't we be doing that to them? Reading's chances came on the break.

They are deliberately sitting off and letting us play the ball up to our forwards, then nipping in and breaking on us. Need much better control from our forwards to hold the ball.
