Wibraham and Morison up front with Martin and Drury banging long balls? We certainly aren't giving our wingers and chance to progress.
I don't expect us to play like we did at Spurs every away game, but I do think we should be playing better than this. Blackburn aren't offering anything, anywhere on the pitch, yet we don't look like scoring at all. Blackburn haven't kept a clean sheet for months and have only kept two all season, so you know exactly what's going to happen.
Haha. See the Fox theory is correct as usual midfield for me would of been Pilkington, Fox, Howson and E Bennett. Not impressed today and Alan Gow has potentially ****ed up my accumulator too!
I don't mind losing to a decent team, but losing in this kind of kick and rush game is depressing. For me, with the exception of Sunderland away, this is the worst performance of the season. Why do we get classy players like Howson and Bennett if we end up just booting it upfield a la Big Sam?
OK... this is the worst Norwich performance I have seen in a while. I thought we could play football. We are making Stoke look cultured!
Because we have lost control in midfield. It's all we have. Our wing backs are being marked/harassed out the game so they are unable to push up to support the midfield in attack. It is making us very narrow.
Why are we playing long ball? Because Blackburn are playing really well and not allowing us anything else. For me this is the frustration because a team seems doomed to relegation and rolls over for a similar team to us the game before and then produce a great performance when they play us...
Wilbraham and Pilkington have actually looked sharp since coming on. Northampton- Alan Gow is just a curse, don't get involved in anything he is participating in.
