Kitching will now receive a 4 match ban.

He clearly displays a derision of the FA cup many of us on here do.

Godden has been poor for a while. No one is criticising his goal record.

Godden plays as though he is riding a mobility scooter

Don’t get the pelters… second half we were the better team, even with 10 men… and the winner was by no means soft, no keeper is saving that.

Palmer is by far our most skillful player but I agree with some previous comments, he creates opportunities out of nothing with a bit of sublime skill, then fucksup the final ball. That said, he came on and was the standout player on the pitch, he just has to work on decision making for that last clinical pass.

Thought we played well generally, against a good side who are on the up. I was particularly proud that we continued to go for it when we went down to 10 and didn’t park the bus. No shame on this loss for me.

2 defeats in 16… while I’m pissed off we lost, we’ve got to look at the big picture.

We go again

Two losses in East Anglia that probably shouldn’t have been, it’s cursed territory

Are you purposely chatting nonsense?

He receives a 4 match ban for his 2 nd sending off of the season.

Also our last two games the result has been affected by strange management decisions the negative team selection v Bristol City and the substitutions of Torp & Sakamoto, Tatsu was taking up two defenders just being out there wide and Torp controlled midfield once they went off Norwich took over midfield, remember a number of Norwich players have been PL players and are quick to exploit weak spots and have pace on and without the ball.

Felt that too, Torp going off we lost the middle, but Tats too, second he went off we lost any output along the wing and allowed their defenders to move in to the middle more.
There was one build we had with palmer and there was just no one on the wing where the ball would be looking to go.

All in all, annoyed we lost, mostly because its Norwich and we can't seem to catch a break against them, the tackle was silly and their second was a bullet of a goal that no keeper would have saved. But felt we should have won at 1-0. Think it's more the manner of the defeat more than anything else as we just fell apart.

ITT we overreact to an away loss and claim its all the fault of a player we so happen to dislike.

 

[Alkhen]

He's only 6'3.

Not only length but girth is a factor

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Needed to convert one of those chances

and also we need to go back to keeping clean sheets

Wright for 2-0 and sending off the turning points 1-1 would have been fair

No, he receives an additional game. That makes 2.

 

[Matt smith]

4 points off the playoffs in reality.

Why? Hulls game in hand is against Southampton

 

[steve101]

At least Palmer added some energy and endeavour. That is what you want from a player coming off the bench. He tried to force it a few times rather than play a percentage pass, however he looked far more of a threat than Wright and Simms.
I would move Palmer up front. I think he would cause teams problems in that area. I know this has been poo pooed before but I think he would do a better job than our striking options.

Was the substitutions for me. Oh well, on to the next. Massive game against Millwall, the kind of game we need to be getting 3 points from.

Straight red is 3 games plus an extra one for his 2 nd sending off.

 

[stupot07]

So you prefer someone who doesn't even have the skill? Makes no sense. If he had full end product he would be in prem not playing for cov

He came on as a sub when we down to 10 men. He tried to make things happen and very nearly did. It's not a easy situation

People need to stop being fixated on the talent he could have been and realise the talent that he is for us. And he still has a big role for us. After this sub cameo I have a feeling he gets the start Vs sheff wed personally

I want to see more like today from him. Looks a bit like ronaldinho and today actually used his frame to hold people off and then drove forward like him too! Hopefully on Tuesday it leads to some goals or assists of course.

No I prefer someone to make good decisions in key areas, regardless of skill. No point having someone with lots of skill who creates little.

He probably will start on Tuesday as I expect us to completely change the team like we have for every FA cup game.

Don’t get the Simms/Palmer comparisons, they’re different players in different positions with different skill sets.

People need to get on board with Simms. Criticism is based on unrealistic expectations or pure bias.

Allen fucked up that counter when he underhit it to saka while mve motored inside. Let's not pretend it's just Palmer.

It wasn't violent conduct. It is 1 plus an extra one.

 

[Martw]

Right

Ellis simms 57% pass accuracy and 11 touches .

Surely fans realise its the way we play more than the actual strikers themselves ? If not there's no hope

Did simms have a shot today ? Did he recieve a single pass in the box today ?

He would have a clear shot on goal if the referee had played play on - beyond that I don’t think so

Wrong. It's 1 game plus 1

He did, but he didn't do it 3 times in a row.

I think the whole Sheffield Wednesday thing - from the racism to the pitch to the change in formation - has thrown us off our stride. Put it to bed on Tuesday and hopefully we'll click again, albeit minus Kitching.

How Lon is Kitching banned for

 

[hinckley cov]

Fricking frustrating. Anyway this season is not one where I expect us to get promoted. Norwich is not going get promoted either. Need to get a proper striker this summer because Simms is not the answer no matter what anyone says. I see some value in keeping Wright. Godden, Moore, Kelly have to be offloaded. Will likely sell COH as he’s not staying. DK need extra attacking midfielders to place COH. Need to sign Binks and another defender, goalkeeper as well as Wilson sucks.

It’s not going to get any easier to get promoted next year with teams like Everton potentially coming down

 

[oscillatewildly]

Imagine we actually had a good striker like Sargent

Better shot on him than Audie Murphy.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No individual particularly is at fault today, though the bell end of a referee never helped you can’t even really blame him. That dickhead Wagner gets to wank over it again anyway and Ashley Barnes gets to feel useful for aiming a shot at a defender.

 

[Nick]

It was a red because he was clean through. What are you talking about?

Robins is fuming with Norwich

Because he didn't get in the position to do it 3 times!

Think about how many more minutes he had then Palmer too. Stop with this boo boy nonsense.

Once we were down to ten it was a matter of time. It happens.

You're not at all getting my point

Why?

 

[Alkhen]

Haji getting away with that tame effort 1on1. He just needed to lift it a bit and that's 2-0

 

[pusbccfc]

Robins saying it's 2

Disrespect before and after the game
