Match Day Thread Norwich City FC v Sunderland AFC – Tuesday 8th April 2025 - KO 19:45

[Forpadydeplasterer]

It's so frustrating when you see the way we tried to finish and teams above dropping points.

I'm not saying we would reach top 2 but we've got to keep chipping away

 

[Southern A]

I’m saying it now

tonight was naive as **** from rlb

it isn’t ****ing over yet and we’ve sat in for 60 mins tonight

other have dropped points and Leeds still could

it’s honestly not great, yes Norwich had the ball but they didn’t really conjure much, problem is we didn’t have any interest in attempting anything until he made the subs

Disagree with this. I don’t think we’ve gone and intended to be **** first half

 

[Smug in Boots]

Bramall Lane emptying, Sheff Utd losing and the booing starts again ...

... can't wait to see Wilder's post match interview

 

[Prehab26]

We’ve played a CM at second striker all season

You clearly know what I mean. Rigg is far far more of an attacking player than Browne.

Good night gents,

Shame we didn't really go for the win mate. Opportunity wasted.

Roberts, le fee, Mayenda
Isidor

on Saturday for me

 

[TeamOfTalents]

Bit like weekend game. Never felt like we'd lose despite not playing well.

 

[Southern A]

we definitely went for the win.

 

[marcusblackcat]

Where can the highlights be viewed ?
Just so I know where not to look.

Wouldn’t be a very long show!!

Yeah for me too. About getting that going and Jobe in the middle.

 

[MadMackem77]

We did go for the win mate. 3 very attacking subs made, got unlucky in the end not to nick something.

still a point gained, clean sheet away from home and a big 5 games to go

 

[monty987]

No striker has cost us and too late with the subs maddening that Sheff U lost as well

 

[Prehab26]

we definitely went for the win.

For last 20. Can not play 70 mins like we did and expect to get 3 points.

 

[cumbrianmackem]

Happy to take a point and clean sheet, could we have got all three late on, not sure we deserved to if I'm honest.
Gained a point on the Blades, it ain't over yet.

 

[williebeams]

Really poor performance for 70 mins. Just can not play like that. Ok last 20.

We need to show some ambition at times. Great chance to put pressure on the top 2 and we didn't really show any intent.

We need to stop this CM playing as a second striker.

Mepo MOTM.

first 70 mins wasn’t poor

it’s all instructional

all focused on shape and defending until he twisted with subs

yes there were sloppy asses that killed momentum but the mission was clearly shape and compactness until he made the subs

 

[malagamackem]

I was gutted with that perfomance. Chilled look...7 points from 9..happy

 

[Frazier the Lion]

There's some value in treating the early part of the game as a training exercise. Some decent defensive work. Better second half and came alive for the last half hour. DEfinitely plenty to build towards the playoffs with.

 

[Southern A]

For last 20. Can not play 70 mins like we did and expect to get 3 points.

Definitely not but I don’t think we intended to be **** for 70 minutes.

 

[Bucky1989]

Some chants of we want wilder out
