They just arent good enough. heroic effort from the boys over the last few months though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 23, 2019 Report 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.

Major Isewater Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 We scored two fabulous goals today , a shame they didn’t get anything from the match. We looked good but Norwich just look that little bit better, particularly in the final third. We have it all to play for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he was complaining about the blatant penalty that wasn't given. I'm not too down about that. We have it a good go but Norwich just had that extra bit of quality that we lack. Not convinced on the penalty, looked as Taylor was looking for the contact and went down too quickly especially as he was standing still. If he’d have been turning with the ball then perhaps a different outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big and difficult game in midweek. I think we`ll do that OK. It`s not like we`ve taken a couple of stuffings, just two narrow defeats in games where we have a lot to feel good about.

If Eliasson would’ve come on at 3-2 it would’ve been a shot in the foot imo. Not a player for away games for me & would’ve been hugely outmuscled by their midfield.

Important to keep this in perspective! As long we do not revert to the bi-annual dire run. Show a lot of coaching skill and player character if we can win v Brum.

Too many players not imposing themselves second half. But they’ve had a great run and no disgrace v Norwich. We’re still right in this. Game in hand on most and a 6 point gap to 8th . A bit too much for us today second half , they’re a good side. Bring on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canary_Yellow Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I thought you were excellent. second only to Sheffield United in terms of teams we’ve played since we hit our stride back in autumn. if that’s representative of how you play generally you’ll be in the playoffs no bother. All unbeaten runs end eventually (although on another day it might not have been today, could easily have been a draw or bc win) it’s how you bounce back that matters. i’ll come back tomorrow when you’ve had a chance to take stock.

ChippenhamRed Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 With the nonsense of talk of wobbling wheels here’s a little perspective. Despite today’s result we’re still 6th and we’re 6 points clear of 8th with a game in hand. We have an opportunity to pull further clear with a win on Tuesday, and we have a home game to come against Derby, whose own form is patchy at best. This was probably our toughest remaining game and our performance level still looks high to me - as it did against Wolves. Every reason to remain very positive about a season few of us expected much from. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakoe Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thought we deserved a point. Absolutely gutted for the lads after giving their all. I guess the 3 subs were just a roll of the dice, if Watkins effort had gone in we’d be saying master stroke. Anyway, what a great game to watch. Toe to toe with top of the league at their place.

Thanks, no complaints with the result at all, second hand you were simply too good for us on the day. Maybe on another day we nick something, but cannot see you failing to hit top two. Decent game, and much prefer open games than some you get in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked weaker with the subs and an experienced Norwich made us pay. As previously said it’s no disgrace, just got to start again on Tuesday before Preston take the points Saturday, or maybe this season they will have to at least fight to get them.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 No great shame losing away to a side like this in a game like this. First half we were excellent, O'Dowda's goal lovely stuff. For a while though in that 2nd half we just couldn't get out. Norwich were fairly relentless. Let's try and start another run starting Tuesday night. On the downside I fear our top 2 hopes all but gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Played well but beaten by better team over whole game. Very proud of the lads and the unbeaten/winning run! HOWEVER this was a game we could have easily won had LJ not made substitution/formation mistakes. Wright should have been swapped half time, The 3 subs made no sense or impact on the game, and moving COD to left wing back was baffling as he was our main attacking outlet.
