Everyone seems to be raving about Norwich but I just don't think they're that great. I know the form tables say otherwise but I can certainly see them dropping points. Having said that Pukki was a great find.
Quite agree. And we're the same. You watch some of our erratic performances & wonder how we've reached an auto place.
It's 80% ability and 20% Luck. We're getting the 80% right but we're lacking in the 20% department, where as they have it atm
I don’t actually wonder re us WJ, there have only been a handful of games where I don’t think we’ve been the better side this season. I have wondered re them though... what Norwich do is create chances and take them - (a great habit to have obviously as that’s kind of the point of football!) but in between those moments they’re Nothing special and have been poor defensively for much of the season. They have some young mobile footballers with a bit of talent who aren’t afraid to express it and try their luck... so all credit to them. Think we've All been waiting for the wheels to come off.,, but they haven’t.. and they have an easy looking run too.
They say you make your own luck, so we probably need to set up a luck factory in Leeds. When you lose to your biggest promotion rivals 3-0 to 3 deflections it does kind of feel that maybe they’ve avoided walking under ladders and we haven’t.
Don't disagree about the handful statement, but you can still have 90% domination in a match & lose 1-0. You can be the 'best' team & lose. And we have done. All it takes is a short bad spell or a bit of bad luck. Even in our most dominant games we've chanced our arms at times. It's the nature of the game we play. We lay ourselves exposed to breakaways, and have been poor at giving away fouls just outside the box that don't end well. So it's not about being the best team, it's about getting on the best side of the final score. And we are erratic. You only have to look at Boro's 1st half chances to see that we could have got hammered by a team noted for scoring next to fcuk all. Erratic? Wasn't that a Madonna song?
Plus 21 gd Only lost 5 Only lost 1 away all season Top of the league Made mugs of Leeds last week One of the youngest 11s In the division with barely any money spent. Attractive football I can see why you don't like us
You must have switched off before the end...1-3 at FT. Hopefully that goal might mean something come the end of the season but have a feeling Norwich will be home and hosed a long time before then.
Don’t disagree fella. The criticisms chucked at us are efficiencies... how many chances to score we need, how few the opponents need etc. To me the way we play makes that inevitable. We’re pressing teams who are forced to defend in numbers so are hard to break down... the players committed up the field makes us vulnerable when we give the ball away in transition or playing out from the back. The quid pro quo is that by having the ball most of the time we generally will have more chances than the opposition but not always as easy ones. I don’t think there’s all that much difference between us now and most of the season.. once sides had decided s way to play against us, most games follow a similar pattern... recently we’ve made individual mistakes that have cost us.. could have happened any time in the season but these things seem to come in runs in football as in life.
Lets hope you need a relegated Ipswich to beat us last game,would be fun,can see you posting another crying letter if they field a weak team
I am still not happy to start talking about the Premier League just yet. Still loads of time to **** it up.
Me personally? None , I don't think anyone really cares . Weird bitterness thrown at Norwich. We are 20% ability 80 % luck We are a one man team take away Pukki and we would be mid table at best. We only score fluky deflections We haven't played anyone decent yet (after 31 games). The FA hate Leeds etc. Just concentrate on yourselves if it's not good enough and Norwich finish higher then try to accept it rather than make excuses for your own failings. There were Leeds fans tweeting the league trying to get Krul banned last week , in the same handbag incident Bamford put his head in Godfrey's face seconds before Krul did the same and Pukki was pushed in the face during a corner that was missed earlier in the game. I don't really care what Leeds do and if you finish top 2 then good luck to you.
