I dunno why some want to have a go at him for doing what he is expected to do

He isn’t required to sit like Gruev and does get forward, he does great until he reaches the opposition box and then appears to have a crisis of confidence.

The way we have been playing the priority for today was a clean sheet to steady the ship, you could see the confidence coming back to the team in the second half - drab it may have been but from our perspective It was necessary- bet Wagner will be more than happy with penalties on Thursday given hi...

I agree, he was the only player attempting probing passes on the edge of the box second half. He also played a sweet diagonal for Byram/Anthony at one point. I’m always worried about how clean his kit stays though, Piroe too. On to Thursday, the result was all that mattered today, and for all the t...

I honestly hoped Rutter would offer more today. He was the worse player on the pitch, no lack of effort but hardly anything is coming off. That pass to (…cannot recall, but the runner had three defenders around him) when Rutter had acres of space to run into was just symptomatic of a player with zer...

I didn’t have anyone near a seven and only 4 players who breached 6.

RUtter, Gruev and Mes did not get more than 5.

Right time to take 15 mins writing a long post and have a fanny fit if the thread is closed before I post.
Just being ironic - As there is sod all to write about. Very turgid affair. Surprised Norwich just effectively retreated and lost any ambition to win the game.

Norwich have to take more risks this half - hopefully we can exploit that on the break.

How Firpo copes with Rowe will be important. Rowe has a lot of pace.

Fair enough.

Bit late for experiments but is what it is.

Hopefully Gray given more freedom, Georgie as a striker though not so sure.

I think Geo has a worldie in him. Would be handy if he produces today.

Looks like a fluid line up with the front four, I expect there will be a lot of positional changes during the game to try and unsettle the opposition.

Cost us a place in the PL that, just saying like.

The main thing is you don’t hold a grudge.

Try and keep up the league replaced the ball boys with cones right around the time of the International break. Come to think of it that is when we turned to jelly... More evidence of BIG FOOTBALL being down on the Yorkshire oiks in prefernce too the boutique clubs in the south ;-) I know about the ...

That competition is a huge farce. For a start Australia is now an entrant. It won’t be long before the US etc get involved.
We could have Cold Play as our entrant and still come last - on that basis you can understand why any established music act would avoid it like the plague.

Clean sheet would be nice

Whilst I agree, a couple of goals to boot would be just the tonic.

Interesting article on BBC sport (not sure if it is noted elsewhere in another thread) where Farke says he would not swap one player. I understand managers rhetoric and cliche’s to build confidence etc, but this is rather an interesting suggestion. Personally, if I had my pick and I am just basing i...

Cue Elton

Elton didn’t write that was Turpin, he added the music.

I think Spurs will have a try and Liverpool, especially if Salah pops off to Saudi.

Rob Price had a patchy record before he arrived. Maybe he is the issue? Seems a recurring theme. I blame the stewards and ball boys, on the basis that the forum is running out of options to scrutinise. Are the stewards and ball boys slowing our build up play down if the ball goes out for a throw in...
