Maggs struggling to usher his man out there. That was like the Cardiff goal almost. Has to be stronger there 

Honestly, if we can sharpen up here in and around the box, add some composure, we can nick this.

Injuries ffs 

we cant play with a proper right back obviously and are more solid with joe in front of mags. Fully fit squad we would have 2 proper full backs. 

Injuries yes, well done. 

We’ve just brought in 2 midfielders in the transfer window. Maybe bringing in 2 actual full backs would have been more important? 

Bryan has looked shot for confidence in his last 2-3 games IMO. Not driving at his opposing full back like we know he can. This game is also showing that it’s really time put genuine full backs into the RB/LB slots. Wright & Maggs whilst solid enough defending, offer absolutely nothing going forward. Balance of the team from front to back looks all wrong tonight. This is causing a ripple effect which means Reid and Patts are having to drop so so deep to get on the ball. 

What a chance for Patts!!!!

Atmosphere is a bit flat

Our players needs to take advantage of that! Go up a gear or two here and we can do this. Same goes for them though I guess! Haha.

There I agree , I still find it a bit bizarre hooking balls into the box against six footers when our attacking players are all so small.

It's like we just hope to get the second ball.

 The margins are very tight in this league and we were a bit unlucky.

Credit to Norwich though they did a good job on us .

Yeah Norwich looked handy on the break n all. Definitely a game where we huffed and we puffed, but unfortunately showed a real lack of quality in the final third. 

Just seen we had 64% of the possession too. Eeeek!

I thought Walsh's crosses and corners were driven  in with pace .

He looks a good little player . He had energy , was organising everyone around him and has quick feet .

As for Kent , début to forget .

Clearly way off match speed so eager to please so I'll say no more .

I was referring more to our crossing during open play, which seemed to either hit the first defender, or just by-pass everyone we had charging into the box. We just seemed a bit naive in and around their box today, which is annoying considering how much of the ball we had. 

More than happy for Walsh and Kent to come into the squad, as they'll both prove valuable acquisitions over the coming months. My one gripe is that they both probably need a month or so to get up to speed, and being thrown into a team competing for promotion in one of the most physically draining leagues in Europe is not really ideal. Both need easing into the side gently. 

It would be great to add 2 more whom are really up to speed with the Championship, players you can pretty much throw into the deep end straight away. Still time to act on this, and I'm sure that the coaching staff/board will be looking even harder now and getting some more business done before the end of the month. 

Plus obviously getting Fam, Djuric and COD back in the next 3-4 weeks would be huge for us. 

Just give Preston whatever they want for Hugill. He'd have made the difference today.

Well, he would have had our crossing not been so crap. 

OMG how have we not scored there?!!!!

Couldn't make the game today, what went wrong?

Final ball been very bad. Just looked really toothless in and around the box, plus our set pieces are still not good enough. Can’t remember the last time we scored from one? 

Matty Taylor has to do better there, would have been one on one had he used his body bettter. 

That’s what happens when you don’t create anything no matter how much of the ball you have. Our final pass/cross has been abysmal in the final third today. Hmm.

Norwich are being quite niggly. We’ve played well up to the edge of their area and generally bossing things, but really lacking that final ball, bit of magic today. 

They however remain a threat on the counter. Could go either way, but think Kent is needed soon. 

Too many central midfielders playing at the same time.

Kent on, Walsh off.

I still don’t understand the Taylor signing and all the shenanigans surrounding it

 

 

Did you go home thinking the same thing on 20th Dec when he clipped one over the top for Smith to score the winner against Man Utd? 

Twitter saying it was a long range strike into the top bins? Just one you can't really stop. 

If Leko had an end product....

So good running at people 

We’ve look bad ‘on’ the ball tonight. That zip in our passing isn’t there, and our movement seems forced more than natural at times. 

Bryan not having his best game tonight. We’re 3rd in the league, and we really need to be in control of the last 20 mins here against 10 men. 

I actually think we didn’t need the sub. It’s thrown our shape even more, and we’re now just going long to Djuric which isn’t our strength 

The amount of crosses that have made it into our box is criminal 

Pack is great at tackling, but jeez he’s dithering on the ball so much when in possession.

Oh Pattttttttssssssssssss

My god Fielding. That was unbelievable
