bexhill reds Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Got to be honest a bit gutted at that. I thought at 2-1 they were there for the taking.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The only thing that LJ could have got more wrong today was putting his shoes on the wrong feet. He had halftime to make the one change that everybody could see needed to happen, replacing Wright with Pisano and he failed to do it and then his 3 substitutions beggared belief, Wright and Pack were poor for the whole 90 minutes but somehow stayed on. Taylor should be ashamed of his pathetic dive in the last minute. LJ has quite rightly received most of the plaudits for our long unbeaten run, tonight he needs to be humble and honest, this one is down to him.

Boston Red Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Norwich looked a seriously good side. They win the ball off you easily, and when they pour forward they look like they could score from every attack. No surprise they have scored so many goals/hammered so many teams/had so many late comebacks. No disgrace losing to the odd goal in five up there.
