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 IMO it was woeful defending, woefully arrogant penalty and very poor from Pato and COD who gave Norwich far too much room. We wasted the chance to maintain top 6 spot. Link to comment

You should have been a lot clearer in your post then. Because at no point in your message is that clear. As for calling me a moron. Is that really necessary, based on your inability to post coherently what you hope to articulate? Link to comment
blockbrowt1 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Need our injured players back and then I think we will be ok. Feel for Holden at the moment. Need to sort out the passing and possession though in the short term. Link to comment
YGBjammy Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think we're going to spend the whole season figuring out what our best midfield is, and never really find it. So many options, and all feel about the same in terms of ability. Link to comment

I would offload him also due to his age and stock over 30 years old for a striker Link to comment

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. He was the best of a bad bunch in that Midfield. A 6 out of 10, at best for me. No more. The key thing that lets him down, and has let him down since he arrived, is his end product. There is none. And it's not down to lack of ability. It's his decision making and the fact that he never gets his head up. Holds on to the ball for too long, rarely releases at the right time. It's so basic.

I said it wasn’t terrible in the second half and it could have been 3-3 on another day. Not saying we deserved to win or Norwich weren’t the better side but couldve been a draw on another day Link to comment

I know he was played in CM for Eire, but last season COD himself said his preferred position is left wing. If we were to switch to 4-4-2, I don't have a problem with him in that position. Says something today that he was least worst of our 3 in midfield. Holden needs to swallow his pride and pick Bakinson, Nagy & Massengo in midfield. Pato has been poor for 5 games running now, and Brunt was woeful today. Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Did only see second half. Martin hit the post, Wells penalty, it was not our day. Our midfield, COD-Pato don work, said it before. Pato is Pato but COD never delivers anything. Written many times why he is in the starting eleven. Only LJ and DH knows it probably. Next game DH can not let COD and Pato start. Weimann is missed more than we think when we se our midfield today. He can run, shot, get in position, assist and score. All things that COD not is capable to do. Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Maybe we have to go 442 but then we only have Hunt who can cross and pass the ball into the box. Eliasson is gone, COD and Dasilva is not good enough. We sold our best assistplayer and at the moment we are out of ideas. Nagy, Wonderboy are not big guys who can fight in the middle but I prefer them before COD and Pato. On his day Pato is a wonderful player but now he needs a rest. Link to comment

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. good post.im not worried about huddersfield and getting a bad result their either.i think we will buck up after that game,dont know why. still think we would be between 12th and 16th bonfire night but the swansea point has helped there.

They may have equal ability but they don't have the same skillset and I reckon we'd benefit by striking a different balance in there. Link to comment
