No leaders outfield!s**te defence! no consistency with the team selection or play! cant play like a team for 90mins! manager that's a soft touch and has no authority!

Iv'e never been one to advocate sacking so early on but iv'e been saying to friends and family for sometime that under ole we will be top 10 if we are lucky.

PLEASE OLE PROVE ME WRONG!!! but i think we are doomed under him................and get back to f**ing blue to unite the fans again ffs because the atmosphere is dire.
 
Oh dear! The sad thing is nobody is really surprised. It is a question of not just collecting players but knowing how to use them and in this respect the manager has failed spectacularly. Even if things are going badly the least you can expect is for the manager to inspire confidence and he hasn't. As soon as we lose a goal the players heads go down and you know that more will follow. I was not there today as I'm in Spain for the next couple of months but when I return the only surprise for me is if the manager is in a job. This is not an overreaction to one bad result; many have been calling for his head for some time but if ever confirmation of his ineptitude was required then today was the day.
 
We scored in the 1st half through mid-fielders. Our full backs were making runs and our wingers were making their defence play wide leaving holes through the middle.

Fabio was a bit crocked before half time and was changed with Delcan coming on, this changed our shape with players lost helping him out defensibly. Decent going forward but has no idea in defence caught out too many times Norwich took advantage of this and we had to put more players out to help, making us short elsewhere. Delcan should either changed into a winger or loaned out not a defender.
 
Agree with most of what has been said. Declan was seriously exposed. Kept getting caught out of position and had little help from Macheda in front of him. I also thought Jerome played his part. Seemed to really want it and was winning balls he shouldn't have.

Can't agree that we we 'decent going forward'. Marcheda looked knackered, we had gunnarssom out on th right(wtf) and John looked nervous to the point of being overwhelmed. If daehli wasn't fit why was he on the bench at all? I'm sorry, but if we don't get rid now, this could prove to be a disaster.
 
Maybe I should have put that better .

Delcan is decent going forward but has no idea in defence.

Jerome always seems to play well against us fair play to the lad. Declan is not a full back his positional play is always going to get him caught out by the better players.
 
'Cameron Jerome has now scored three league goals in the past two seasons, with two of them coming against former club Cardiff' Quote from BBC.... Says it all really.

I was also left wonder where our manager was when we were under the cosh. Not sure it would have achieved anything but I would have liked to have seen him at the edge of his technical area sorting them out. When he did appear it was the usual arms folded quiet approach.
 
The lack of leadership is obvious from both the manager and those on the pitch. The best reason to keep and play Hudson was this. Would we have lost 2-4 with Hudson out there??? I doubt it.
 
Been chatting to the Norwich guys over there all week about this game and they're a very decent bunch of posters. I said win lose or draw yesterday, I'd go back on their matchday thread when I got back after the game.

Posted this (my only post last night I was so pissed off) and I stand by every word. Ole is losing respect in the stands. His players may think the sun shines out of his arse, but at the moment, there must be an eclipse.

Like I said, I'd come back and post something on this thread when I got back in. The first half hour was some of the best football we've played this season - mind you, that's not saying much.

Couldn't make my mind up if we were that good or you were just not up for it. 2-0 in the at first 30 minutes and cruising - then something happened and for the life of me I can't tell you what caused it. You were finding your men with every pass and we couldn't keep the ball for love nor money.

Second half you blitzed us. The only difference between what I witnessed today from the same fixture last season was that your goal efforts actually went in. We were bloody hopeless and the three substitutions Ole made did nothing to help. Declan on for Fabio at half time may have been forced, but Adeyemi and Maynard were the wrong choices by a mile.

We needed to unlock your control and make you to think about defending rather than just pulverising us. There were two guys on our bench tailor made - young Mats Daehli and Adam Le Fondre. I am despairing of Ole ever sorting this.

In the meantime, you thoroughly deseved to win that and we deserved nothing from the game especially after going in 2-0 up at half time. On that showing, you'll definitely be there come May - we have so much to do.

This was all about MANAGING a football team during a game not just in training and team selection - and Ole has not got a clue when things go wrong.

He failed to address the problems on the pitch by managing it on the fly from the touchline. Adeyemi and Maynard on when they'd pulled back to 2-2 was a bad decision. They were all over us and we needed to cause them problems with Daehli and Le Fondre. Declan maybe was a forced choice at half time and we can't really blaame hin for that, but he was a bloody disaster yesterday.

Very Chris Hughtonesque OS. If that is what Ole is going to be all about, then I feel for you guys, as it will never be good enough.
 
Fabio was as bad as John. Neither can defend. Don't blame John for what happened, we shrunk back into own half.

We will not get promoted or even make the playoffs with Ole as manager he is ****ing clueless.

First half hour he got it right, Norwich made a couple of changes tactically and he just sat there and hoped everything would work out ok. Pure luck got us in at 2-0. They were shredding us down Fabios side. Continually using Houlihan to over load and make it 3 on 2. 2nd half exactly the same with an unfit centre forward trying to play defensive left midfield. Ole is a ****ing clown and we need to buy him a 1 way ticket back to Norway ASAP.
 
Wasn't blaming Declan for what happened though he was a part of it.

My last phrase in that post "but he was a bloody disaster yesterday" referred to Ole, not Declan.
 
Its so bad at the moment its laughable. There is so much wrong I dont think a new manager would get us up. However someone could at least get us organised and fitter.

Lets face it he is clueless. Hasnt a clue on how to set up. Was he the only person to see Macheda was completely out on his feet and had no idea what to do on the left side of midfield.

A positive performance again from Connolly alongside Morrisson who weve spent around £3m on who doesnt look anywhere near as good as Turner or Hudson. Manga will come in on Tuesday. I hope its not for Connolly.

We have no pace , no system , a load of poor signings who are not good enough and having to rely on our keeper to be captain because hes the only guaranteed starter. Our fitness levels are shocking - we were out on our feet after 30 minutes. Players barely able to get out of a jog.

Anyone hear that clown on Radio Wales phone in saying surely you wouldnt sack Ole after 6 games. Its not 6 its been since January and if anything we are getting worse.

We should be on the phone to Pulis. Give him a guarantee of funds in January and the money to get rid of some of the players signed who are not even getting on our bench that Ole brought in.
 
Some are predicting top 10 here and that's no disgrace as the Championship is a very tough Division. Shame about the empty seats though. The extension looks like a bad decision now doesn't it?
