Northern Red Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Needs to get Bakinson or Massengo on for Adelakun. Link to comment
Alessandro Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Gulf in class huge. Yes yes yes, despite about 30% possession we limited their chances first 30 mins or so, well done...but....they had another gear and probably more. 3 big blocks and saves before the inevitable goal. Not unfair to say Norwich could be 4 - 0 up at half time. Us on the other hand, look as likely to score as my ugly mate down Rixy's on a Friday night. Still 1-0, so I guess this is the Championship and we'll still in it. Link to comment
WolfOfWestStreet Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Another waste of 45 minutes, shocking lack of effort. Getting absolutely run ragged. Link to comment
Banjo Island Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Didnt expect to get a result tonite can take loosing but what is unaceptable is this type of gutless football with one tactic which is to hoof it to the front 2 one is imobile its dreadfull to watch painfull Link to comment

Never mind though, plucky show from the non-league side. That would be quite a result with 45 still to go. Never mind though, plucky show from the non-league side. It does remind me of that sort of performance/attitude, just imagine if these two teams were in the same division............. Link to comment

Not sure if thats a deliberate tactic but if it is it really isn't working. Rowe and Hunt pass completion rate cant look good. Tyreeq HNM and Antoine could give us a bit more drive and confidence. Norwich are an unusually good championship team but this is currently attack v defence. Id leave KP on for a bit but maybe change Haks and one of strikers. Def wouldn't go three at back.

Gazred Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 You have to earn the right to play and we haven't but you have to credit Norwich also, they've been very good. Need to change something at HT. Link to comment

ExiledAjax Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, TomThumb84 said: It was plain for all to see that the side that got a result against Preston was not the right one to go with here. I raised my eyebrows when I saw the side, surely we needed to go with a 3-5-2? Norwich have lined up the same way all season. The thing is, Holden had the personnel to do it tonight, and worryingly thought this was the best line up and system to get a result. Bit of an embarrassment that this is on Sky to be honest. It is reminiscent of the old LJ reactionary management. The type that said "We won, so we don't change anything." or "We lost, so where's my tombola?". As you say it's really naive to think that a team that can play and beat Preston is the same way to play and get a result away to Norwich. However, in Holden's defence - did we not play 352 at home v Norwich a few months back? When they schooled us 3-1 and Wells skyed his penalty? They tore us to pieces then as well so perhaps he thought "screw it, try something different tonight. Might work." Link to comment
bristolcitysweden Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Very poor against a weakened Norwich side. Pain full to watch. Link to comment

It would probably have been sensible to go with one up top and an extra midfielder in there. That would at least give them less space. Only because they haven’t taken their chances tonight Link to comment

From what I can see though, City are giving Norwich far too much respect. It’s all too easy for them. Get in their faces please boys... This. I don't agree with all the posts saying we are poor or clueless. We just aren't getting enough of the ball. We are defending pretty well, but I think Palmer and Adelekun are leaving us too lightweight in midfield. Can't really blame the strikers when we are so rarely getting to that end of the pitch. I'd like to see Bakinson and possibly Massengo (based on Saturdays improvement) We need to get in their faces, at least disrupt their flow, even if they overcome that, then let's stop making it so easy for them. Lucky to only be 1 down. Norwich look quality, but we are still in it, if we can stuck into them more and push them further up the pitch. Link to comment

Garland-sweden Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Norwich are the better team so far, one behind is no panic. Still 45 to go and you never know. Offcause we have to play better, corner, freekick, pen. COYR!!! Link to comment
