Plenty of time to be pissed off about that in the summer if it happens. Got to pace yourself.

Hahahaha

he will increase the price of them

be part of the ‘journey’

Someone's giddy at finding a new boo boy.

He’s not quwhite what G looks for in a player.

 

[mark82]

Agree with the guy on CWR. No heart second half. One man team.

We're a league one team with Gyökeres and Hamer (and maybe Sheaf).

 

[Matt smith]

That's right but his injury has exposed the wider issue.

Which is we have about 5 good players?

 

[Nick]

Got home and put Sky on, just 2 bellend pundits trying to shag Norwich.

 

[Grendel]

Someone's giddy at finding a new boo boy.

How is he a boo boy? He was poor. Dabo is getting pelters on here from pretty much everyone but who was hopelessly exposed time and time again as Cuffey was never in position

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We are clearly still suffering from the lack of investment in the summer and have too many squad players in the team regularly, but I really don't think there is any need for all the knicker wetting.

Where are the points gonna come from, (apologies for swearing in advance) but we have 1 fucking win since the bloody World Cup, we’ve been shit. We are nothing without O’hare, as proven earlier in this shit show of a season and now. Im just tired of it, we need some fucking investment now, I dont give a shit what anyone says Doug need to get his sodding chequebook out or he’s a twat

 

[ccfc922]

His positional sense was diabolical - play him as wing back and your asking for trouble based on that - what’s the point of shipping an experienced player like Kane and recruiting loan rookies? It’s an odd strategy

Clearly a personnel issue with Kane. Obviously injury is unfortunate, but don't see what that new lad offers over Burroughs and Kane.

Panzo starting on the bench over Dabo at CB is another issue today. Our whole back line drifted towards the ball everytime they came forward.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

King should see today as proof that letting the team rot with no external funding is only going to lead to one thing. Urgent support needed at centre back and in central midfield.

 

[Ashdown]

Our inability to string even 3 passes together was painful. Totally disjointed with a one trick pony attack that involved punting it long for Vik .
Dabo should never play again after that, unfit, clueless, positionally inept. Doyle dreadful, Rose dreadful.
We made them look like Brazil

To be fair, he's not playing in his natural position. He wasn't that bad, couple of decent crosses. Judge him after a few games.

 

[Esoterica]

Time for King to get the cheque book out or he'll be financing a L1 campaign.

I don;t think relegation is a real danger as long as Vik stays fit. What we've seen in the last couple of games are what squads look like when you've got PL money. I think every single player on Norwich's bench would get into our starting XI today.

What position was he meant to be playing?

 

[Otis]

Thought Sheaf was way too respectful today too. Seemed to constantly stand off them.

Yes, agree. It was almost like he was admiring his boyhood heroes.

 

[Speedie's Head]

Yes, agree. It was almost like he was admiring his boyhood heroes.

More like the yellow cards are adding up

Defensively they were very poor but if you squander possession so easily it gets protected. Again, a better side than us would have turned them over.

Well yes, that is true, but by the same token, Norwich WERE excellent and they did also score 4 in the previous game, which was also away from home.

We were very poor, but credit where credit's due.

 

[Otis]

Is he just one away from a ban?

 

[Perryccfc]

Norwich have had nearly 50 shots in the 2 games since Wagner arrived. If you look at their goals v Preston, they absolutely flood the box. I can’t see anything but a Norwich win, but I can see us catching them on the break. Going with 2-4.

Should have had a quid on it

 

[Speedie's Head]

Is he just one away from a ban?

I think that's right without looking it up

 

[alexccfc99]

It was pleasing we made somewhat of a fist of it back end of the first half, cause I was genuinely fearing 6 or 7 at one point

But second half Norwich did a professional job and we didn’t even get a sniff - they’re the best side to come here this season for me

Be happy for the season just to finish now, clear the decks and try and rebuild - think we have nothing to fear in terms of relegation as there will easily be 3 worse sides than us but play offs absolutely zero chance

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Not making excuses for Hamer but was poor today and I’m wondering if he’s carrying an injury, but the rest of midfield weren’t on it either. But imo Norwich when flowing are the best team in the league including Burnley and they looked it today.

All on our coach are saying that Norwich are the best team we've seen here this season. Them very good. Us poor except for 20 plus minutes

 

[Finham]

MR says Vic is claiming the goal! "They say it's not his goal now, well you can tell him".

 

[Tommo1993]

More like the yellow cards are adding up

Shouldn’t stop someone from ball watching and lacking basic passing ability.

Where are 5 wins coming from if this is our team until the end?

 

[pusbccfc]

'If we can strengthen' and 'getting players back fit'.

What's the point?

 

[Marty]

Defence was fine until Fadz got injured.

How many of our defense today is upto championship standard or do we own?? The fact a 37 year old held our defense together is a credit to him, but shows how poor the others are.

 

[pusbccfc]

Season not defined by Burnley and Norwich games according to Oggy.

What about the results against garbage like Swansea, Reading, Cardiff and Bristol City? Plus a loss against a Non League side?

 

[Nick]

What's Robins said?

 

[PVA]

Shouldn’t stop someone from ball watching and lacking basic passing ability.

To be fair Sheaf was by fair the most passer.

Some shocking pass completion rates out there.

 

[Tommo1993]

We’re not gonna be signing anyone are we…

 

[Otis]

What's Robins said?

Probably something along the lines of "if they hadn't have scored 4 goals we would have won 2 nil"

 

[shmmeee]

The others are OK but desperately lacking in leadership. Without Fadz and with a silent GK they just don’t know what to do, especially at set pieces where we’re fucking terrible at the moment.

 

[Matt smith]

Doug ain’t no saviour, he’s not even a supporter…..he’ll flip the club to Ashley and make himself a nice little profit and fuck off. I hope so anyway.

Mike Ashley is the savior
