Yes your away record should have us shaking in our boots, coupled with the fact we are the leagues top scorers at home? Bodes well for you
Well I saw NOTHING today from Town to make me even the slightest bit worried. Not cocky mate just telling it how I saw it.
Your two Centre Backs are cack! We can exploit the space in behind them with Freddie's pace just a shame we couldn't feed him in more often today.
Is that conveniently forgetting that you lost at Blackburn, Huddersfield, Leeds, Rotherham & Brighton, just to mention a few? I am pretty sure, based on the evidence today, that next weeks game is going to be far more uncomfortable than I would ideally want.
Norwich looked poor at the back but a pain going forward. We started well and had a good first half but I thought we reverted to our safe and steady selves as the second half progressed. A bit annoyed that with 20 minutes left it looked like we were happy with the draw. I believe they are beatable at CR but that would be on the counter and other than HOOF we don't really counter attack. Having been outplayed by them in (almost?) every game over the last few seasons it was nice that there wasn't a noticeable gulf between us but Im reserved about our chances going forward. The big positive is I cant see Sears and Murphy having such a quiet game again so we may be able to give them a few problems but will it be enough?
No it's not conveniently forgetting... I know we haven't always done so well away. Just pointing out that on our day we can hurt teams, teams just as good as yours.
... It's true, it will be an uncomfortable game for both teams. We would usually set up to get at least a draw away but obviously we will have to go for it.
Really! Not even when Ruddy made a close range double save? Could've been 3-1 Town at half time. Don't remember Bialkowski having too much to worry about. That said you pass and keep the ball pretty well.
Lots of Norwich arrogance on show here today. Bricking it??? Not at all. Mick won't be playing for points like he does during the season, he showed that today by starting with Bru and Varney. In the game today we had more clear cut chances to score and poor finishing let us down. We're halfway through the tie and it's still all square. One game, two teams and form has nothing to do with it. It could still go either way boys.
We have the better players of that there is no question, however we've under performed so many times this season that I'm taking nothing for granted. It only takes one mistake (Martin today) and we're ****ed.
Your players are three league places better than ours, there's not the huge gulf that everybody likes to think exists
Sounds as tho we gave a very creditable, honest performance, and missed a fair few chances. I am just very happy to be where we are, still all to play for, and who knows what will happen in 7 days? 2 teams, 22 players, one vastly experienced manager who gets every last drop of blood from his players. I am thinking, hoping MM might just throw McG on next game....that might ruffle a few feathers! Great place to be and couldn't give a flying canary f...k about their supposed superior more skilled players!
Was thoroughly underwhelmed by Norwich, very average and we should have won!! Tommy Smith looks soooo uncomfortable at the moment, i would drop him, put Chambers CD and Parr RB, other than that, not much needs changing! Not worried at all about 2nd leg and think we can do them!!
Just saying that personally there's not a single player on your books that would improve what we've got IMO. You guys are punching well above your weight and credit to you. Next week is a cup tie played over ninety minutes now and anything could happen, as I say I'm taking nothing for granted. You will however come straight back down should you get promotion unless you invest heavily and definitely change your manager. ....now that must get more than the one bite
The ball enjoyed today, it only had altitude sickness for half the game. They wondered what the green stuff was on the ball, turned out to be grass stains?
Certainly explains why today was the first time in years they've had a full house. Couldn't watch that ****e every week dragged us down to their level
