I think we were just totally outclassed and then our heads dropped.

Need some fresh blood in asap.

Not good enough. Problems mounting all over the squad.

It needs sorting otherwise we’ll get dragged back into the relegation battle.
We’ve stopped defending!

Can’t carry on with just Gyokeres up front, don’t know how much longer Godden is out and buying a striker is unlikely unless there’s a surprise up MRs sleeve.

Piss poor that, no fight, can't believe when people laughed at me earlier in the season when I said this defense is awful. It's Peado Pete and his band of merry men.

We're sleepwalking into serious trouble

The capitulation v Swansea was a big turning point as is the loss of O'Hare and his infectious enthusiasm

Doug and MR need a serious sit-down at Ryton

Not sure about the doom and gloom, and there were a few boos at the end which were uncalled for.

Clearly the defence does not fit this formation, time to go back to 3 at the back with wing-backs. Start Bidwell and Burroughs. Start to build some confidence and momentum, and get a few bodies back. Norwich are a very good side, as were Burnley. We lost because of a freak 18 minutes where the defence didn't appear to turn up or know what they were doing.

Looking forwards to Huddersfield next week to get back to winning ways.

I'm not naive. The game was far too open and Norwich tightened it up bringing mccallum on. But we let them pass it around like a training exercise. Before their 4th I don't think we touched the ball for about 5 mins.

Lack of energy, desire, believe, anger, everything. I'd rather hamer fuck one of them up, take a yellow and get people going than that shit. Even me as a fan had switched off even at 2-3

Wtf did MR say at ht? Tighten it up lads 2-3 is a good result??

If we let this window pass us by then yes, we will be sucked into a fight. The two loanees very underwhelming.

Nope. Gyokeres the best of a bad bunch. Hamer wasn't in the game, Allen wasn't in the game either. I thought Palmer did okay the first half and then just drifted out of the game.

Sheaf struggled in the middle of the park too.

Poor all round
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.

Very poor ref
Terrible first 10
Should have made the changes before the 4th and they were waiting
rose mom but we let 4 in
Need at least 2 first team players in before end jan.

Both played out of position to be fair. Need to give them a run in their position to really judge.

Just don’t think two inexperienced loans is good enough to maintain a half decent championship campaign.

Man City lad came on with a free role is seemed. I won't be judging him on that.

Norton cuffy will get better, he's not the reason we lost today. Although he very clearly was knackered on 48 mins

Whats happened since last season? Same team almost, somethings gone on. Vik is a one man team?
Our goalkeeper is shit
Dabo looks closer to retirement than match fitness
Our most experienced CB is now Michael Rose who as CBs go is timid as hell
Our other two CBs are 19 and 22 year old loanees..
Our defensive leadership is gone with McFadz.
Allen has become not just a mainstay in the team but our captain, and he is extremely inconsistent with the ball.
We don't win the ball high up the pitch very often anymore with O'Hare out

As a team we were reliant on Gyokeres, O'Hare, Hamer and Sheaf all playing well to compete. O'Hare being out now means the other 3 have to be absolutely on fire every week. The rest of them are bottom end Champ/top half L1 players.
