We've had one touch in their box over 45 minutes.

I can suggest at least one thing that might need to change in the second half.
 
Backline panicking every time they have the ball from the Swansea press, seem to have no clue wether to go long or short. 0-0 though so I guess mission 1 is complete, next mission is don't concede early in the first half before mission 3, the Selles supersubs come on and we can actually start playing.

That was the most boring half of football I’ve seen in a long time, absolutely nothing interesting from either team and the atmosphere is worse than a pre-season friendly.
 
40% possession, 13 shots to Norwich’s 3. Obviously approaching important away games the wrong way.<laugh>

If we’re going to play this style of football, then we need rapid wingers on either side like Forest do. You cannot play this style of counter-attacking football when you have no pace up front. Pedro, Lincoln, Palmer and Gelhardt are all quite tricky but don’t have that explosive pace for counter-attacks.

Gelhardt has had one run up the wing and it looked like he was running through glue, Pedro and Palmer running around sort of pressing will have nothing in the tank left if and when there gets to be a through ball to run onto.

We have some, sadly they are injured! I think this has been a major issue as they got injured so early we have to remember Barry, Millar, Belloumi and Matazo would all be first choice! We have an OK squad but we’re just light now, Kamara for example you imagine wasn’t brought in to be first choice but had to be before he’s ready.

Where’s Sinik anyway

Definitely need rid of Palmer, not one for the fight. Gelhardt back in his best role, Kamara looked good when he came on. Let’s have a proper go

Have you not watched us recently? Pretty much same as most recent games under Selles. His great tactic is not to concede, then get a scrappy goal and hang on for dear life at the end.
