Match Day Thread Norwich v Leicester

On the plus side you have had 2 missed calls from Elina

 

Will we now go on to lose again?

 

The Leicester commentators are annoying

 

All Leicester atm, everything crossed

 

I’d be interested to know where we’d be in the table if matches finished at half time or 60 mins.

Our game management is so poor, on top of everything else weak about the performances. This is a Leicester team whose form is quite bad (not nearly as bad as ours of course) and we still let them take the advantage when we go ahead.

 

Wilshire doing well at Luton

 

And Leicester get another

 

Leicester score

 

Christ Alive

 

Get rid of Manning ffs make it stop

 

I’ve no idea about 60mins but the half time scores put us in the top 6

 

Norwich make history.
First time a team at this level have lost their first 7 games at home..

 

We engage at the wrong time so often, so many times today Leicester have played a one touch bounce pass into a forward player to engage one of our defenders and then they knocked it in behind us.

For all the good play from Kenny first half he’s had a shocker this half and I could make a good case for both the goals being down to him, albeit he’s having to play out of position

 

He cannot survive surely.

 

Maybe the lack of strong bench options is contributing to our fading performances in games, but I do think Manning's injury crisis is not as severe as other managers have faced. For me between 2-4 of Stacey, Schlupp, Chrisene, Diallo, Crnac would start, but it's not like any of them are likely to play at a way higher level than those currently in the side.

 

Eurgh

 

I am not sure if getting rid on Manning is the answer. He got Bristol City into top 6 only a few months ago so he can’t just have become a poor manager in that time.

 

Kenny didn't even try to close his player down, the cross goes in, poor marking by the CBs and an easy goal. This wasn't down to Manning - it's those players at that moment.

 

I find that bonkers, sorry.

The squad is imbalanced and could use improvements, but it is clearly not a relegation candidate squad - it’s a top six contender.

Manning’s style of management is clearly horribly rigid - requiring the right squad, which we just don’t have.

Getting rid of Manning might not be the sole answer, but it’s a critical part of it and - let’s face it - the only tool in the armoury to save our season until January. And do you really want Manning and Knapper picking January signings.

I’m not saying he’s a bad manager, but he’s clearly not right for us and given how opposed the crowd is now, there’s just no way back. Why we’ve taken so long to get rid is crazy
