[harrry1990s]

the 8 rotated players must be really sick because the 11 playing are looking a little off it.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Yep. If a little shirt tug is yellow, where was the yellow for the guy who pulled O'Hare's shirt?

Seriki is constantly being fouled, ridiculous decisions

 

[MojoMuffin]

Breath on a shirt, yellow.

Smashed to fucking bits going into the box. Be reyt that.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

How is that blatant foul on Seriki not a yellow.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Update of match so far:

Looks like 2 average mid table teams playing each other.
In fact Norwich have had some nice spells of control and possession but they lack penetration.

We’re not been that good but a bit more direct and look the team most likely to score.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Look at that fanny, falls down for nothing, holding his head. Ref gives a foul.

 

[Jan Age]

Well as bad a 35 minutes of football as we are ever likely to see …

Hamer needs to compete left .. Ings off… O’hare in the 10… Matis and Soumare sit and hold

 

[harrry1990s]

The ref can do one.

 

[MojoMuffin]

Convinced that wasn't a booking simply because the ref with the average IQ of a house brick couldn't work out which player fouled

 

[SharpAsAblade]

These Norwich players are a bunch of crybabys, going down at any little contact

Ref probably wouldn't have given it if the lino hadn't flagged!

 

[XADE]

I remember this ref being horrendous when Bristol whupped us first game of the season.

By design. Ronald McDonald for them went down faster than a bird at Roxys.

[Sheffsteel]

Maybe a bit of luck…. Josh Sargent limped off injured.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Never thought I would say this but we miss mccallum

He’s been superb - far better defender than Burrows

 

[Rufus Smalls]

These Norwich players are a bunch of crybabys, going down at any little contact

Because they know this tosser of a ref will give the foul.

 

[North Riding Blade]

These Norwich players are a bunch of crybabys, going down at any little contact

They have a history in this department.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

If only Burrows had a right peg.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Chong off for Brookes please

 

[fifty shades of blade]

If only Burrows had a right peg.

And pace, and athleticism and defensive positioning, and able to close down a cross...

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

If only Burrows had a right peg.

If only Burrows wasn't playing like a league 2 player all season

 

[Jan Age]

Best summed up as ……

Miles off it

 

[Pintor75]

Bloody picture gone off!, and who's the Irish co commentator, bloody awful!

 

[CornwallBlade]

Watching Ings is quite sad really. His football brain is still sharp but, sadly, his pace has gone. Walking example of what it means when they say “he’s lost a yard”

 

[Jan Age]

Chong off for Brookes please

He’s been extremely poor … another who wants the ball in attacking areas can’t be arsed defending

 

[Sheffsteel]

Well as bad a 35 minutes of football as we are ever likely to see …

Hamer needs to compete left .. Ings off… O’hare in the 10… Matis and Soumare sit and hold

Think that’s a bit unfair.

Agree…..we look disjointed and don’t look that good…..but we’ve looked dangerous a few times and we look the more likely team to score.

Compare this to the Seles team….when we controlled games with possession and we looked a good team.
Then you realised we’d not had a single shot on target.

In fact Norwich remind me of the Seles team….they pass it around well but it’s all sideways passing and they have little penetration.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Why make 8 changes? Asking for fuc.ing trouble.

Actually it's 5 or maybe 6 changes. Too many maybe.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Rip up Ings contract, fucking useless

 

[BangorBlade]

Get fcking ings off ffs
