Expect, maybe not, but we have taken a point of Norwich already (although Max goals don't count of course), and also Watford and Swansea, so we've proven we can compete. It does appear we have gone backwards in recent weeks though.

Very fustrating afternoon, but some serious overreactions here. Of course, possession stats and efforts on goal mean nothing in the context of the game, but they do at least suggest we're not being outclassed, and also that we will remain competitive as we reach the business end of the season...

Important not to overreact and wet the bed, but 2 goals in 10.5 hours of play is a real worry. We're not creating much either, yeah we have a couple of good chances early on, but from 10 minutes to the effort from Max at the end, we haven't got near them. Still, we move on and go again.

But then we played 2 up top in the home fixture and put 3 past them.

We're doing OK, but I'm not sure we've been as good as some are suggesting. Not created a chance of note since the header which was early in the game. Some awful decision making in the final 3rd again. We look pretty toothless, but seeing plenty of the ball and still very much in this.

Norwich barely out of 2nd gear. We just can't get the ball.

The only negative is that we should be out of sight here. They won't this bad second half I'm sure so next goal in this game is so important, but take nothing away from us, that was outstanding.

It's just the game with commentary I think. No presenters. Could be wrong..

Don't think we've won a single 2nd ball or 50/50. Just not at the races.

It's all well and good defending the formation on the basis it worked for us last season, it did. The difference is last season we almost never went long. We can't keep going long with Walker isolated. We need to be braver in possession.

You think he got it wrong at Norwich them? Forest away is the best one. As though that wasn't about a glut of missed chances and a last minute howler, it was all about the formation! Fuck sake.

We beat QPR playing wing backs. We beat Reading playing wing backs. We drew at Norwich playing wing backs. This system from last season that just doesn't work apparently. Suggest playing a back four doesn't suit us and you get jumped on by the yeah but 0-0 against Blues crowd as though you are...

I'm not sure I understand his thinking. We go away to the league leaders and we play a formation that is familar to us and which has reaped rewards over the last 18 months. We play well and cause them a lot of problems. We then play the team bottom of the table and switch to a formation that...

Reminds me of the Middlesbrough performance this. So many unforced errors.

It's not an obsession, it's an observation. Against Reading, Forest and Watford we seemed to create far more opportunities than in the games proceeding and the one since. Think Middlesborough and Blues and then look back at the 3 games mentioned above and tell me we weren't more of an attacking...

It's not meant to be working. Club must be despairing at all the revenue they are losing. I chose to pay the other night even though I didn't have to, but I can see why people don't.

Not confident today, but you never know. Just hope we don't go into the international break bottom of the table.

Nailed it. Some of the guff on this thread is painful to read. I've not seen people try this hard to discredit one of our own players for some time. Desperate stuff.

It might suit Shipley tonight. He tends to play well in games where we have a lot of the ball which we should tonight. He's good at finding space and taking the ball on the half turn. Fancy him to have a decent game.
