MIDDLESBROUGH vs NORWICH CITY match day thread

[RiverEndRick]

The early season form has all but disappeared, Neil will be under pressure soon unless things change.

Who would have disagreed with the line-up tonight. Everybody on CPL chose it. Why is it Adams' fault? Let's have the second half before we panic.

 

[SUPERNORWICH 23]

Murph Grabbs & Hoops .

 

[Russ Martin 2]

Yes we are missing Grabban..

I don't mind who gets the goals as, long as somebody does. We've created a few chances but not put them away. I would back us to get at least one goal, why not make it three for no wicket in the second half?

I think we will see Grabban tonight and has his place in the team to fight for, let's hope he grabs the opportunity if he gets it.

Errrrrr not me and I'm not panicking. I'm just stating the fact that if we end the evening in 9th then Neil will be under pressure with the squad he has got.

Don't think it's Neil's fault but you know what it's like these days Rick.

I would have disagreed with the inclusion of Whittaker, albeit I reluctantly accept we don't have a lot of options there.

I agree

I remember why I stopped listening to Norfolk.

Rob Butler, shut the **** up. I don't care what you think.

He is nob head mate. I turn the radio down when he is on.

 

[DHCanary]

Just back from 5-a-side and this was not what I was hoping to find!

Looks like Neil's going to have to turn the hairdryer up to 11 if we're to get anything out of this.

The defence really needs looking at, beyond Turner I'm not sure anyone of the back 4 have really earned their place. I can see Neil not wanting to upset a winning side, but something isn't right at the back. Who in our coaching team has defensive experience?

 

[IHEARTNORWICH]

Msrtin is the best option for whittiker. Migel/hoovelt/cruella with turner at cb

 

[Hucks for Manager!]

The next goal is, obviously, crucial. Can't see us scoring at present but hopefully Adams knows what needs changing - and has changed it.

Its bad enough when the chimps phone in, let alone presenting and giving opinion as if he has some authority on the subject.

 

[DHCanary]

Half time stats:
6 shots each, they've hit the target twice and scored both times. We've troubled the 'keeper once.
2-2 on corners
We've had 56% possession.

 

[K E M P]

For me it's bloody obvious. MARTIN IS NOT A CENTRE BACK!

Whittaker worries me at RB. Move Martin to RB and play one of our recognised CB's.

 

[K E M P]

He is one of those chimps. Completely.

 

[K E M P]

Ipswich will go above us at this rate. Can't ****ing believe it.

 

[K E M P]

Tettey off for Hooper.

Hope it works but we're giving up a man in midfield.

 

[DHCanary]

Single change then, Hoops on for Tettey.

So that's 4-4-2 with 3 strikers on the pitch and no out-and-out defensive midfielder?

Positive change, when 2 down there isn't much point having Tettey.

Although this could go horribly wrong.

You only sing when you're losing.
