[Liquid Gold]

Haji has been told to shoot more and he’s taken that instruction as ‘never pass the ball’

Atmosphere is utterly embarrassing

Poor effort from Saka. Idea was good.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Sakamoto and Wrigth are so so narrow when we don’t have the ball. Clearly a tactic, but it’s leaving a lot of space out wide.

To be fair we’ve always defended compact under robins.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Did we put that out for them, or was it just a crap pass?

Was a shit pass

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Interesting that Norwich are taking the bait with set pieces and sending everyone forward.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Atmosphere is utterly embarrassing

12:30 kickoffs always shite.

I hate Sky

 

[sw88]

I’m not convinced with the position Rudoni is playing in.

He looks a bit lost. But did wonder if he’s maybe an Ipswich fan after trying to gee the crowd up after about 30 seconds

 

[Paul Anthony]

Was a shit pass

Thought so, couldn't quite tell

 

[Great_Expectations]

To be fair we’ve always defended compact under robins.

We do, but watch how much they are tucking in. Way more than usual.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

C'mon guys this is not the same Norwich team from years ago. They can be beaten. Oxford beat them

 

[StrettoBoy]

I think Saka is still suffering a loss of confidence after his bad injury. He’s not taking on one or two defenders at a time in the way he used to and I’m sure that this is because subconsciously he is worried about being bullied and badly injured again.

He hasn’t lost his skill and I’m sure he will get back to his best in time.

 

[sw88]

Norwich’s tactics to con the ref aren’t going in their favour.

Their man then didn’t know what body part to hold when claiming he was injured

Not sure if we intentionally put it out or if it was just another dire pass down our left hand side. Do we even train that side?

 

[Alkhen]

Torp breaking up play well today

 

[Evo1883]

Have to question bidwell at times

 

[Evo1883]

Sakamoto lacking the confidence to take his man on

 

[Matt smith]

Sakamoto poor

 

[Garlana86]

I'm not sure on Bidwell last few games, usually a steady Eddie but some of the basic stuff he's struggling with.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Torp playing well today

 

[Macca]

Atmosphere is utterly embarrassing

MLS might suit you

 

[Evo1883]

Bidwell far too narrow all the time

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

How much space do we want to give them on the wings?

 

[wingy]

Where are the Norwich fans,, Playing fine from what I see!
Torp with a brilliant tackle!
Saka hard luck?

 

[MalcSB]

Eccles block. Again.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Torp playing well but many won’t say it as he’s the new boo boy

 

[Liquid Gold]

Neither Torp nor Eccles are having bad games but they both have a tendency to put their foot on the ball when looking for a pass instead of taking it on the turn and it slows downtime transition, particularly on a counter.

 

[Matt smith]

Torp playing well today

Agreed.

 

[mark82]

Sakamoto lacking the confidence to take his man on

He got through on goal to be fair. Norwich player fell over, in today's game that's a free kick.

 

[Grendel]

Has Rudoni done anything yet ?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We’re all over the place defensively as a side.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

We’re standing off way too much on a he edge of the box. Allowing them to pick wherever they want

 

[fernandopartridge]

Get Saka off, terrible in every aspect. Let their 7 stroll past him into the box.

 

[Evo1883]

Has Rudoni done anything yet ?

No

 

[The Nomad]

Far too much space over on right hand side. Bidwell struggling.
