    Hopefully manager noted who was not trying.

    Better second half but generally disappointing

    We made Norwich look very good in the first half we were so bad. Didn't deserve to win, concentrate of FA Cup now.

    After that first half Andrews, Ince, Semedo and TDB should be dropped, Hector should not play as a CB and Kayembe should only be a sub

    The team that finished the game deserve a second chance

    Agree - they certainly didn't take their chances at all and made Norwich who did have a strong side out look like a top Premier league side.

    No pressing or ambition to get the ball and attack at all.

    Obviously changed after half time when the manager made changes and went to a different formational.

    He wants the team to press - sadly two players who might do that from the front in Georgi and Vata aren't fit of course.

    Glad I chose not to watch it - am now wondering if the next game I watch will be under a new manager.

    Well unless it's in a few weeks you'd think not but this is WFC under the Pozzos!

    No doubt people will now look for a follow up to the second half performance with the same sort of team but doesn't bode well if we get yet more injuries.

    Forgive the younger players like Grieves and Semedo who looked rather lost but certainly Ince and TDB didn't do themselves any favours and even Selvik made an error so bad that if it had been Bachmann people would be foaming at the mouth.

    There are weekly meetings available, but they’re not helping me.

    I had to be out in the evening so I missed the game. Matej was very unimpressed with it.

    Very very poor first half...second half substitutions made a big difference

    Never seen a manager sent a coach to the opposite side of the pitch before .

    Naturally the ref was having none of it !

    Apparently would pick the same team again so obviously doesn’t regrets selecting it .

    Guess he expected much better and probably learnt a lot about the squad depth .
