[Brighton Sky Blue]

According to 5 live 3 - 0 flattered us

Second half was a non event in truth

[Matt smith]

We just need a win. Or to at least go in front and give us something to hang onto. Even today mcfadz goal 9/10 stands and gyokeres, if he has had a bust up because he thinks he's too good for us, well he should have put that chance away and then it's 2-1 and game on.

But we need something QUICK

Morale boosting win against the baggies

we never beat west brom

 

[Sick Boy]

We’re close to ‘he’s lost the dressing room’ territory. Hard to pick out those who busted a gut for the shirt today

It feels like it’s already underway at the moment.

We should have had 2

What selection changes would you make for next week

I wouldn't leave Hamer out, and i dont think MR will either. MR says "he needs a performance"..... here's hoping it comes on Saturday at home.

He'll be thinking about the right side of the back 5, but as with midfield, is very limited as to what he can do... even if we bring a free agent in this week, he is usually loathed to throw any new signing straight in.

Personally think He'll go one up, probably, as it is at home, Vik....

Who knows.... he is limited as to what he can do!... already alluded to West Brom being better than us in post match interview.....

Games like that won’t define us, I can take being beaten by a side who are probably a Premier League team in waiting but I can’t take some of the sloppiness and attitude that was on show today

Positive though I’ve had a lot to say about the crowd in recent weeks but the away end was excellent today

 

[Harry Krishner]

I blame the curse of the yellow and purple kit....

3 games I’ve been to in a week and even across those 3 you can see the belief drained with each game.

Did our best with what crap was being served out there. Norwich completely silent despite having everything to shout about.

 

[Dirk Turpin]

That is quite pathetic from Hamer. Gives the ball away and tries to pull down the Norwich player by his shorts

Waisted opportunity to get a booking

 

[Grendel]

We should have had 2

they it seems had 14 shots 7 on target we had 7 and 1 on target

 

[shmmeee]

Had anyone said Robins has lost the dressing room yet?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

they it seems had 14 shots 7 on target we had 7 and 1 on target

Did you watch the game G?

 

[Nick]

Yeah, we should have had 2 goals.

 

[Grendel]

Did you watch the game G?

Ive said I didn’t but I assume the impartial 5 live guy did

 

[Houchens Head]

There will be three goals scored. Not saying who by or from what team, but that's my prediction!

Got that right, then!

 

[Grendel]

Yeah, we should have had 2 goals.

how many should they have had?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yeah, we should have had 2 goals.

Were they actually onside though? Did seem that Walker was miles off and blocking the keeper

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ive said I didn’t but I assume the impartial 5 live guy did

OK well I was physically there. 3 was about right, as I said the second half was basically a training exercise played with very little intent

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Discuss the Norwich City vs Coventry City match, tactics and predictions

Talk about the wheels falling off.

 

[Ian1779]

Had anyone said Robins has lost the dressing room yet?

I don’t think he has .

I heard what he said on CWR - I don’t think he was unreasonable, and as professional players they should be resilient enough to take some warranted critique.

 

[Nick]

how many should they have had?

You tell me?

 

[PVA]

There's a big difference between a squad that's simply low on confidence and a manager that's lost the dressing room, which is pure conjecture at this stage.

More than one player looked disinterested but Gyo especially looked the least up for it I’ve seen from him so far. Distinctly like he just didn’t want to be there

Yes I agree about Vik and in fact I said the same thing in here during the match.

But that still doesn't mean he's lost the dressing room

It could also be that he came on at HT and realised it was a futile effort considering the fuck ups from the first 45….

 

[Matt smith]

Annoyingly rose should be dropped but we don’t have another right sided center back so what do you do

hamer Sheaf and Allen in midfield

godden and vik up top

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

To be clear I don’t think he has either-yet. But it looks close to the tipping point, a lot of players just didn’t give close to their best.

I really think we need to go four at the back. More shit defenders doesn't = less goals conceded. The wingbacks (Dabo) also have very little end product so it's sort of pointless.

He ruled out a back 4 after the game

2 goals conceded by gifting the ball away then standing and staring. To be honest it’s being so so careless in possession that’s the biggest problem to fix for me, in all parts of the pitch

I really don't think the wingback system works, and I don't think it ever really has done. Dabo will get about one assist a season and Bidwell has a bit more quality but probably doesn't really attack aggressively.

If we are relying on those to create for us it isn't going to end well in my opinion. I want to see something different, but equally that doesn't mean Walker up front alone and five defenders either. Four at the back gives us a base.

I don't think it's just this season either, we've been pretty poor since around Christmas time if I recall.

 

[steve101]

He can't take responsibility for Hamer losing it 30 yards out

Not at all. The execution was poor much of the time. However, he started someone (Walker) known for not being able to play as the one up top and left the only player (Gyokeres) who can effectively do the role, on the bench.

Yes and to the detriment of the team , which is unforgivable. Alex Ferguson he ain't.

 

[alexccfc99]

Not an excuse cause we were inexcusably sloppy and would have conceded again regardless more than likely

But I cannot believe our goal was chalked off today
