Not one of these should be speaking and laughing with the opposition after the final whistle . They should be gutted.
BTA , Lati , Collins JDS fuck off from this club and down come back . Bassette just way too inexperienced currently , not his fault that he's been chucked in at the deep end. Eccles has been bollocks recently as has Sheaf. Not looking good . Big changes needed.

We took the once in lifetime cash windfall from the sales of Gyokeres and Hamer and truly spunked it away on utter garbage

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

We’d of been talking about 1-1 if that foul on lati would have been the other way round! 50/50 challenges were fouls to Norwich today!

 

[Briles]

Because he had the opportunity before the foul. Glad I can help

Have a look at the replay squire

 

[jto123]

I stand by what I said previously. Doug King’s assumption that this is a top 6 team has made me lose all faith in him. That logic has caused a ripple effect that has really left us directionless. We have to hope to survive this season and then begin a three year re-build based on our current quality.

 

[Pusb1]

It was cruel ending but they played well for the most part much better than last few weeks.

2nd half we literally never made it out our own area. not having this at all.

Besides Asante being a fucking shambles with his ‘shot’ we had zero shots either

 

[usskyblue]

*Comfortable with Robins getting sacked

Same issues

Yeahhhh but it’s not Lampard, it’s the squad

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Is Doug King a Norwich fan ?

Can't even stay on here tonight I’ll just be ranting about BTA and Lati. Awful awful signings. Fuck them off for a fiver. Simms did fuck all again too.

You are not allowed to criticise Simms even though he is a donkey

 

[clint van damme]

That one really fucking hurt.

Whether it was a foul or not, only one person was giving it to the ref at the end, Eccles, where were the rest of the cunts?
Where was captain shitebag?
Pathetic bunch of fannies

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That is such a kick in the balls. I thought we were going to win it and our performance doesn't deserve this.

We were up against it all half and fought so hard for it all to end like that. We showed more togetherness than I've seen in some time, particularly after it started to get difficult and seemingly our captain didn't fancy it after about 60 minutes. Wouldn't even let the physios look at him before he decided to go off. Yet, we talked a lot, and worked harder than ever as a team. Not sure about BTA though, or why he was on for so long. He seems all over the place and had a good chance to put us out of sight, but there were many other encouraging performances, particularly across the defence and in goal.

Overall, a lot of encouragement from much of that game. Just deeply frustrating to finish like that. Absolutely fucked it at the end there.

I'm lost for any other words and I genuinely cannot believe we have come away from that game with nothing.

 

[Grendel]

Anybody seen anything from Lampard yet that makes them think it was worth paying up MR and employing Lampards coaches?

Same systems, same tactics, and same results.

Employing Lampard was a fucking trap and Doug wandered straight into it.

You can’t polish turds like BTA and Simms however elite you are

 

[Domo]

Could only listen to first half. Can someone give me a TLR overview of the second half, more importantly the last 5mins?

 

[stupot07]

We played like we were facing Liverpool away not Norwich who were only a few points ahead of us. We didn't even look like we wanted to try and score a second and kill the game off, just sat back thinking we could soak up 80-85 mins of pressure.

 

[quinn1971]

Wasn’t a foul on Lati, went down far too easy, just get something on that and put it out. we were hanging on all game To be fair, if you’d of said we’ll concede 2 when the team sheet went up I’d of bit your hand off, but to do it the way we did, gutting, back 5 and we were nowhere for the 2nd

 

[David O'Day]

people thought we were shit? Did you actually watch the game? If so what kind of performance did you expect? We were never going blow them away, we were unlucky at the end after a very good spirited backs to wall performance.

Which we fucked up. All good though.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Tbh I thought we were rubbish for most of the match and it was only a matter of time before they scored. That being said I did think we’d at least hung on for long enough to not lose…

Managerial change has made zero impact imo.

 

[rob9872]

Just heard a bit of a scuffle with Naaaaarwich fans outside. Anyone there see it?

 

[stupot07]

We sat back, Norwich dominated, we managed to muster 1 decent chance but BTA put it wide. They continued to pile on the pressure, scored a worldie, then in 95th minutes got round the back and scored a deflected goal. We never even looked like we want to score a second and kill the game.

 

[Shannerz]

is it fuck

Probably not, but I wouldn't put money on it. This team is dogshit.

We've played some absolutely honking teams this season, and other than Hull and Plymouth, we've looked as bad as any of them.

Vast majority of our fanbase thought it was an Automatic Promotion challenging team tbf.

Those hinting a tiny note of caution were shouted down as heretics.

 

[David O'Day]

yeah due to the ref not giving a foul and deflection
no one said it was "all good", just said it wasn't the shit show folk make out

 

[Tomh111]

He hasn't had enough time with the players in training

Judge him more at the end of Feb when he's had the whole of Jan and a transfer window

9 games
3 wins

Played 6 of the worst teams in the division.

I wasn't expecting wholesale improvement, but I'd have liked some change, some identifiable characteristic or style of play.

We are back at wingbacks with zero clue in possession of a structure and even fucking less of a clue out of it.

It's embarrassing.

Everyone is so blinded by wanting Lampard, DK, everyone to fail because we got rid of Robins it’s laughable.

we should not have lost the game because it was a foul on Lati. Watch every other “challenge” from behind in the game and they are all given, whether you agree or not. Every. Single. One.

Not the greatest performance but one we should have got a point from.

The fans are turning toxic. Fuck the lot of you.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Just gutted at that.

Spot on.

there is zero improvement.

Top of the ref not giving a foul and a deflection league.

Open top bus

 

[clint van damme]

Not sure when I'll be able to calm down - rest of the weekend to stew then back to work on Monday. This will be tough.

I also thought Lati was fouled before their second goal - suppose the ref saw a manly shoulder charge?

We've been told it wasn't a foul but whether it was or wasn't you get all over the ref for that.

Fucking pathetic bunch of shitebags

 

[covcity4life]

Footballs so cruel. And such fine margins. If bid well intercepts that ball we likely get 3pts today

Instead we leave with none

 

[oscillatewildly]

Not at all.

Maybe my ears were deceiving me then.

Not at all.

Really? Not 'at all'?

If we can sell him we need too I guess. He could have cut out the winner of he pressed with some desire

Nobody wants to buy rubbish footballers.
Well, nobody except us it would seem.

That might be true, but what frustrates me was the change from the 3 out of 5 seasons in the play offs logic. Seemed so much more reasonable and sober. The change to the rash ‘this season top 6’ logic just felt so hasty.

 

[Rodders1]

FFS - absolutely gutting

 

[Littlewood CCFC]

Came from bidwell completely missing a simple volley.

Simple stuff but that's the difference between winning and drawing

Glad someone else called this out he had plenty of time to bring it down if he wanted buts he's swung at it like a Sunday league full back. If Dasilva done that there would be a meltdown on here

 

[Briles]

Best our defence has played. Thomas MOTM and we lost

Thanks nothing more to say about that. I thought we'd lose today anyway, it's just worse that we threw away and win, then a draw in the last two mins.
