Terrible defending with 3 at the back but looked better when Moore came off. Bakinson made us look better and we had several periods in the game where we created quite a lot. Wells had a mare and needs a bollocking Not woeful but wasteful Link to comment

Big decision to hand getting there to Holden. But Ashton said Dean had no target so this season is a free pass unless we are facing relegation. Link to comment

Baba Yaga Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Looking like a mid table club although it's a tough game that for our defence after the heavy schedule. But second best in possession, attack and defence. If Wells was as clinical as Pukki (that pen ) or if Martin could have maybe taken his chances then we could have got something. Would have been undeserved and can thank Bentley it wasn't a few more for them. Hopefully some pts next week, will be concerned if we are 2nd best in those 2 games as the opponents aren't as good as in the last few games. Link to comment

Forget the penalty miss.....Wells has been a major disppointment ever since he signed, a very average footballer. i would look to offload him in January, and get someone in who looks as if he cares, a very poor signing, who is yet another legacy of LJ's reign.

I often wonder whether Wells really wants to be here but would rather have gone to QPR but they couldn’t afford him. He sounded genuinely gutted to be leaving QPR at the time, which I thought a bit worrying Link to comment

Davefevs Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Soft as sh1t. 8 fouls all game. Well played Callum, that's the benchmark now. Committed players today, got them yellow carded. @JonDolman Still very, very angry. I'm sure its already been mentioned....why isn't Sorensen straight red carded, or get his second yellow.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'm almost breathless after watching that. It reminded me of a game in the school playground where everybody piles forward and leaves the back wide open. Difference here was players had to be cleverer due to the offside rule with no goal-hangers allowed. 3 bad goals conceded from simple diagonal passes, there's no getting away from that, and Norwich could have had more. However, we still had enough opportunities in the game to have got something from it. More frustrating was that our best chances fell to the man we wanted them to in Nahki Wells, but he fluffed his lines, even missing a penalty, whereas Pukki for them didn't. While we're creating chances I'm not going to get too down but God only knows what will happen at 'uddersfield on Tuesday. Link to comment

Dan Robin Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 They played better and probably had more clear chances than us...but I think we attacked well, and on another day (with a Wells on form) we could have got a draw. However, the initial midfield set-up was wrong again and defence payed the price (even with individual errors): with Bakinson or Nagy form the beginning and more pressure on their midfielders, we could have had more balance and control of the play... Anyway...a loss against Norwich is not a tragedy. The worrying thing is that we seem unable to bounce back to winning ways, for one reason or another... Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 We have just played the Champions in waiting ,IMHO, with a side who will certainly not be the team that finish’s the season. We are not going to be in the top two but a top six finish is well within our grasp. We were not a million miles away from getting something at Bournemouth and could have got a point today against a Prem team from last season. Wells seems to have lost his shooting boots . He is meant to be the deadly finisher that will turn losses into draws and draws into wins but at the moment for whatever reason it isn’t happening. Brunt’s’ wand of a left peg ‘ evidently is the Ron Weasley one held together with Sellotape. At one stage he sailed a free kick directly out of play and I distinctly heard someone in the ground say ‘ Brilliant, ******* brilliant ‘ !!! Bents again top performance. Dasilva, Kalas and Hunt played well. The rest 6 out of ten when 8 to 9 was needed for today. It’s not all gloom and doom. I said November would show us where we are placed regarding a promotion chase or not. I maintain that we can make top six. It’s a tough time for the lads at the moment let’s get behind them not on their backs. Link to comment

Not much to get excited about then! I find this watching at home lark dull enough as it is without the prospect of watching yet another City rookie manager being given a few seasons to prove he's not quite got what it takes. Nothing against Holden - and I hope he can return us to the early season winning form - but it does feel we've been here before. Link to comment

Southend Blue Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sorry you couldn't beat them ! Would have wanted you to win obviously.. You're still in a very good position to challenge this season and wish you well in the weeks ahead. Don't worry about them, a League Cup win when Dead or Alive were in the charts and a victory at Bayern Munich is about total club achievement. Link to comment

There is of course a balance between man management and showing authority (Klopp probably the best at balancing these) but I feel as if Holden wants to be everyone’s best mate. His main selling point was being this great bloke but that alone doesn’t win football matches. Would Wells have taken such a ridiculous penalty with an authoritative figure such as Warnock in charge?

Agreed, very soft - said so on here at half time. No such thing as a 50/50 with some of this lot - its 30/70 in the opposition favour. The amount of times I yelled "take the ****** out" in a very quiet bar here - bar staff giving me the stares... Much better second half when the game was lost and Norwich cruising, embarrassing first half, especially on Sky. Ah well, a dip in the pool will cool me down nicely. Link to comment
