Where are the chances to score coming from? Two up front but no creativity or pace supporting them. I fear this will be another long afternoon.
I'm afraid you must have me confused with another, what tiny modicum of decent football we have played this season, was with a 5 man midfield. Whilst I can understand trying 2 up top at home if hull pack the midfield we will again be swamped and not get enough Good possession up the pitch. With our ball retention I have to say I believe we really shouldn't play two up top. It is one thing I have agreed with Robbie on that 451 need not be defensive, it is under Hughton, but in reality it is in my opinion what suits our squad best and I also thought it was hughton's preference for us too! Bah!
I will not say other teams fight back, why can't we? I will not say other teams fight back, why can't we? I will not say other teams fight back, why can't we?
Snodgrass will spend the entire game diving and arguing with his team mates again, how he starts every game is beyond me.
Oh God, we're squabbling already, and the match hasn't even started! Anyone on a mobile and at Carrow Road? What's the atmosphere like? (Genuine question - not a sarky comment, just in case anyone thinks it is.)
He keeps the ball marginally better than Redmond, and he's still the best set-piece taker we've got. I would like to see Redmond on the right at some point in the afternoon, trying to deliver crosses for our two strikers. If we had Pilks on too then there'd be three targets for him to aim for.
Sunderland drew, so it's very unlikely we'll end up in the bottom three tonight. It's up to us to win games, though - not depend on others not winning.
I can't help thinking today will be a very similar atmosphere to that of the infamous Worthy Burnley game, where the crowd was just waiting for it to go tits up.
I don't think things are that bad yet, unless anyone at the ground has seen banner's and protests outside the ground before the game?
It's called realism my friend and not burying your head in the sand, for what it's worth I fancy us to win today, God knows why, but I do. CTI
Up to now, it has not been as bad, I agree but it seems that the tide is turning much quicker this time. Worthy's downfall was a long slow process, what is going on now, is more of a reaction from a bigger majority, to what has happened in the last month or so.
I feel strangely optimistic too. 3- 0. I hope I'm not setting myself up for ridicule. I really really really really want a win.
