update on snodgrass, the daily record report his girlfriend was involved in a serious road accident yesterday, so that explains his absence maybe he'll feature tonight against cambridge united along with one or two of the others who didn't take part last night.
Went last night, my thoughts were it was a good first half playing 4-5-1. But a sloppy second half, mainly with 4-4-2. The flow of the game was badly affected by the changes. Brighton pretty much changed their entire side for the second half, and we made about 6 changes in the 2nd half. My thoughts and marks for players :- Ruddy 7 (Commanding presence, dealt with most things comfortably, but had no chance with the goal) Whitaker 6 (Looked dodgy early on but improved as the game went on, and had a few good attacking runs) Garrido 6 (Tried to get forward on occasion but didn't get many crosses in. Defensively OK) Martin 7 (Pick of the defenders, looked solid as usual) R.Bennett 7 (Some well timed challenges, caught out of position on occasion) Redmond 9 (Pacey, tricky and always a threat. Very exciting player) Fer 9 (Looked quality, whether attacking with some driving runs, or in more defensive role. Didn't lose the ball) Howson 6 (Scored an excellent goal, and worked hard) Tettey 6 (Plenty of energy, broke up play well) Bennett E. 7 (Had some good runs, delivered some decent balls into the box) Van Wolfswinkel 7 (Movement was good, give him service and he will score goals) Subs Hooper (Did very little) Becchio (Tried to get involved by moving wide but didn't achieve a lot) Butterfield (Tried to get involved but didn't show a lot) Fox (Didn't do a lot) (A couple of other guys came on but didn't have a lot of effect) Our goal was a slick move down the left with a smart finish. Their keeper didn't even move. Brighton's equaliser was a 30 yard piledriver into the top corner. 1-1 was a fair score.
Maybe he fell off the back of the same lorry as those jackets he was trying to shift and bumped his head?
weird thing was the post was just a pic and no link to anything lol, how old is he?, maybe he was having a senior moment!
I kind of suggested he'd been hacked with tongue in cheek. But now I'm a bit worried that he actually has!
Looks like Wes could well get a game tonight: http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Spo...-City-at-Cambridge-United-20130731104205.htm? Not sure who 'Andrew Fox' is though! Hybrid of Surman and Fox??
Hopefully it works out. I love the thought of Hoola and Hoops running rings around the opposition and getting them in a spin!
That is what I want to hear as opposed to the Toivonen stuff. Chalk and cheese, Norwich or no thank you.
Dutch version of "On the Ball City" got its first airing last night! (Doesn't scan quite as well though!)
i've been watching a bit of man city v ac milan. i was a tad surprised to see man city race into a 5-0 lead inside 35 minutes!! boy oh boy, do they look great going forward. however, they have been a complete shambles at the back and the score was reduced to 5-3 by half time, all three goals defensive errors. very enjoyable match. it's still 5-3 with a few minutes to go...
Team for tonight Norwich City: Nash, McNeil, Toffolo, Fox, Ayala, Gafaiti, Hoolahan, Butterfield, Hooper, Jacob Murphy, Josh Murphy. Subs: Matthews, Barker, Hodd, Hall-Johnson, Loza, Ajayi. not sure why wes wasn't involved yesterday but is today...
Still no Snoddy, but at least we know the reason why now. Hopefully he'll get a start in the Braga game.
