Anyone else experience poor audio balance on Tiger+ throughout the whole broadcast? Crowd noise almost completely blocked out dim commentary for me.
Not a chance Alsopp does anything that proactive, he’d just stand in his 6 yard box and wait for the ball to fly past him!
Ok I’ll qualify this he is an ageing guard who can finish gas hit a good brain but we need speed and mobility and he lacks both , it’s not a criticism it’s a fact . I’m glad he’s here but we need the other skills .
We talk about not taking chances but it’s our defense that’s the main issue at the moment. Far too often we concede soft goals, we’ve conceded 11 in 5 games, even the game we won we still conceded two. Jones and Greaves get caught out too easily, Alsopp couldn’t catch a cold and we’re down to the bare bones in the full back department. We’ll score goals when our key players come back in, I just don’t see us stopping conceding them though.
I agree we are not physical enough, particularly up front. We have lost Delap who was the only one who could just about hold his own against championship centre backs. If we decide we won't replace him then we really do have to move the ball quicker.
My pal who was a centre bavk feels that our two like to on the ball but don’t like to defend , we need one solid physical back , Norwich had one - we got out tackled in the middle . We played a lot of great football and needed it to run for us - but how much longer are going to give soft goals away it goes on and on !
To be fair for the first goal he came rushing out of the six yard box and watched the ball fly past him.
You can’t blame the goalkeeper for the 1st goal. What about Tufan and Morton both weak in the tackle. There was 6 players round him. Make a challenge ffs, he ran about 25 yards.
I thought Norwich looked a poor side (especially their back four) albeit their first goal was impressive and any team harbouring ambitions to be in the top six should have put them to the sword. Philogene and Delap would have had them on toast but this young team don’t seem to have the killer instinct and it seems that these injuries will determine our season.
Love Liam's optimistic take on the game but bottom line is we're conceding almost two goals a game and unless he addresses that PDQ we aint making the playoffs.
