That game was truly ****ing dreadful. The first thing to say is that game will give unlimited ammunition to Hughton's critics. We were really very poor for the entire match, we carried very little threat, lost the ball too often and ultimately rarely looked like breaking down a resilient but even more woeful Hull City side.

Curtis Davies and the other Hull centre-half were absolute rocks. For us, most of our team were very anonymous. Redmond was by far our best attacking player all match and Michael Turner who IMO was unfairly penalized for the penalty had a really good game for me.

I hate to criticise our players but some performances were really poor today. Our subs today made no difference, and I daresay Hoolahan even made a negative contribution. Garrido put in a good cross was but looked really inept today. He was by far and away the biggest hoofball merchant on the field today and probably missed more passes than he found.

It was almost painful to watch - as soon as Hull scored you just knew it would be the only goal of the game. The game was so stop start with so many fouls given for minimal contact which broke up the game for Hull's benefit.

The truth is though, although we deserve slating for looking so flat against 10 men we were still far better than Hull. Aside from the fact they defended well, they looked like a pub team and carried almost no threat, playing at home, even before the red card and that makes the defeat hurt even more.

It was never a penalty in a million years, and to watch Michael Turner bundled over in the box five minutes later makes me feel sick. We had injuries and got mugged by the ref so I'm going to hope this was just a very bad day at the office.

Get it sorted Hughton, OTBC

You had one shot on target, a penalty you cheated to win. Pub team football.

****ing pub team, at times we made them look really poor with some crisp passing. With eleven men and more threat up front it would have been a couple more I guess.
Sour losers.
 
Yeah, I thought we looked comfortable, but lacking going forward. After the penalty I though we were as good as them even with 10 men.
 
Not being funny but I thought the ref did help us a lot. We must have learned from the chelsea game but we went to ground far more often than usual and we were given a ton of freekicks.

But either way it doesn't matter Norwich played like absolute ****.

Spot on. I can only apologise for such a pathetic display. I don't know why we play like this sometimes, when others we look fluid. No consistency. The ref made the game even worse.

In an odd way, I thought the sending off helped you - it forced you into simple tactics, whereas if you had been more adventurous we would have had more space.

Anyway, a cracking win for you. Should kick off your season. I maintain you've signed the best of the promoted teams by going for depth throughout rather than a couple of big splashes.

We'll be fine as we won't always play like that and have so many unfit players.
 
I doubt he even watched the game as I posted on that thread.

(It's on the Norwich board if anybody wants to go amuse themselves)

Undoubtedly so. You're not guarenteed to improve, you may play to that standard for the remainder of the season. That said, so could we... :/

With 11 men we'd have absolutely mullered you.

Hope this helps.

No.

You have splashed the cash.

You hope you will get VFM.

No sign of that today.
