Saw Sargent missed a shot with an xG of 0.93. Must’ve been a tap-in from 2 yards out! Haven’t seen any of the highlights yet.
If the midfield were doing at least half a job, frankly Coyle wouldn’t be that busy.This is reminiscent of when sides were going through our middle the other season. Crook’s hasn’t got into the game at all, and Slater doesn’t look like he’s at the races.
Tbf they're just getting it to Schlupp who's ripping Lewie a new one, our midfield is nowhere near I agree but it's hardly intricate passing
Seen a lot of criticism for Coyle on the thread. He’s carrying an injury isn’t he? The only alternative is Drameh who can’t head a ball.
If Norwich had taken their chances, we’d be making two to three changes at half time. Watch him making no changes.
Sergeant blasted it over the bar with an open goal from literally 2 yards out. That must have been 0.99xg. It was harder to miss.
That was pathetic. 75% of City's passes missed their mark, we couldn't win much in the tackle and were ghastly in the air. Didn't create anything re chances. They were no better, but should be 3/4 up.
We look and are playing as though they have cycled to Norwich. Crooks look knackered, probably his shoulder injury effecting him, and Coyle is having an off day. No shape, no enthusiasm, no urgency, against a team obviously low on confidence but looking head and shoulders better than us all over the field so far. Something lacking here because this game is very winnable if we fancy it.
Think I'd bring the Semi on and go 3 at the back, double up on Schlupp and play on the break. Sacrifice Crooks or Hazmat. Nick a goal after Norwich keep missing chances. Maybe.
Apart from the three times they’ve just run right through the middle Sargeant ran about 60 yards unchallenged
He’s getting run absolutely ragged, probably the worst game he’s ever had. The whole teams been ****e but he’s taken it one step further.
