Match Day Thread Canaries V Baggies

3-4

If we could only bloody defend to even an average level of quality!

Can we knick a late one to send Carrow Road mental? We need something big like that.

 

And Rotherham snatch what is probably a late winner

 

Confidence completely shot and making stupid mistakes to hand goals away as per.

May as well give McGovern a go next game.

 

Are we bottom of the league yet ?

Bah !

 

The classic wisdom is that it's easier to tighten up a defence than teach a side to score. At least we're scoring...?

 

Scored 5 let in 6 points 1.

 

Mike Walker days in reverse

 

Well, disappointing certainly, but there were some plusses like Rhodes and Pukki getting off the mark and Hanley notching as well. We have a decent attack again with 20 shots (10 o/t), but the defence needs sorting, though this time it was against PL quality players. There is a Lambert like quality again in the never say die spirit but unless we can overcome the softness at the back the play-offs seem a long way off.

 

I saw on twitter someone say 3 wins in 18. Is that true!? If that is correct, that is a bloody disgrace!

 

Just on my way home from the game. We looked much better in attack and we'll certainly score goals this season. If only we COULD stop being charitable to our opponents .....

 

Pretty much what has been said in the Thread mate. Just a bloody disaster area defending.

 

How can you take any positives from a game where we lost, at home, to a team that has already lost both their first two games?

 

Hopefully the defence can be sorted, given that Hanley and Klose are now an experienced pairing and Zimmerman is also experienced now. Getting Lewis back at LB would allow Pinto to play at RB, with Marshall moving forward. Krul will need time to adjust, but it's up to the defence to help him with that. There's also the possibility of Trybull or Thompson joining Tettey in midfield at the cost of McLean probably.

 

They drew at Forest midweek.

 

Yes Rick - I've just seen that out of our 20 shots on goal, exactly 50% were on target and 35% were 'blocked shots'.
We would NEVER have got anywhere near those percentages last season!!!

 

Hernandez seems like the standout player over the first 2 games.

 

Another game I just want to forget.

Another one of many, many under Farter.

To think he is getting paid the money to manage a Championship club. I bet he can't believe his luck.

 

Bit harsh, admittedly only having watch the highlights but he seems to have is attacking in a better manner, moving the ball forward more quickly and direct. Farke can’t be blamed for individual errors. Krul should stop the long shot, Marshall should maybe have done better with the first, the midfield disappears for the fourth. These are all lapses in concentration for me rather jab tactical errors. Obviously we need to cut these out asap

 

Hernandez is tipping the charts on SofaScore for match ratings over the first 2 games. He also has 2 goals and 2 assists to his name already this season
