Norwich away

[RossingtonBlade]

With us being found out when playing 3-5-2 and the 3 at the back still working wouldn’t it be a decent idea to play 3-4-3 and mix it up?

Brooks for Thomas, and what's Lundstram done wrong?

Thomas? Lol

What’s he done wrong?

 

[gavtheblade]

Is Brooks back this weekend? ?

No. It's Adkins thinking. Our system hasn't been found out, it needs freshening up, that's all. Norwich won't set up to stop us playing like the pigs did, a draw at home against us isn't a good result, it's barely acceptable. They'll have to commit more players forwards and that will create space for us. We just have to get better deliveries into the box and better service to the strikers when we turn over possession (like the ball to Donaldson when he got fouled and Loovens got sent off).

I think I'd have Holmes on the bench instead of Thomas but otherwise agree.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Norwich City have had three clean sheets from their last four matches.

0-0 it is then......

 

[FriethBlade]

Easy this one...11 behind the ball, waste as much time as possible, Moore to hold onto the ball for 5 mins at a time and roll over if a bumpkin cones within 5 yds of him, knick an undeserved winner and gloat like mad

It's duffs, how many more times

 

[blademark]

'Been found out' is the new 'playing with momentum'. Equally as glib in my opinion.
There's nothing wrong with a system which is also played by the top teams, it's down to how well it is played by the players available.
In my opinion many of our players are fatigued and therefore playing with less energy. It needs freshening up and we now have the squad to do that. I'm looking forward to seeing how the new lads bed in , as well as Brooks, it could be quite exciting.

 

[IOM Blade]

Team, formation, tactics, it's all pointless. We never, ever do well at Norwich. May as well give them the three points now.

We only won there in 02/03 cos they were so cocky they gave us a three goal headstart.

We have Brian Deane and Tony Agana playing this weekend, will be fine....

Throw back to 1989

 

[FTPE]

Brooks for Thomas, and what's Lundstram done wrong?

Nothing really, he's just not as good as the players who also play in his poistion.

The match at the Lane earlier this season was hard work after they took the lead FriethBlade. The last team I saw use such tactics was Nottingham Forest on an Easter Monday game about six or seven years ago. They were at it from the first five minutes that day.

However, Norwich City and in particular their cunt of a goalkeeper re-wrote the procedures on time-wasting last September.

I'll be turning cartwheels on Saturday night if we go there and come back with the three points, hopefully wiping the smug look off the face of Norwich's Roger Federer lookalike Manager at the same time.

[Alfreton14Blade]

Hope we go for the extra-man-in-midfield (i.e. Swillsboro) option.

More threat through the centre -> more overloads out wide

Moore
Bash Stearman JOC
Baldock Leonard Lundstram Fleck Lafferty
Holmes
Clarke

S: Blackman, Stevens, Wright, L.Evans, Duffy, Wilson, Sharp/Don.

Seems that at least one big name's gonna have to be dropped from the squad btw, if all the "newbies" come in. And that's without Brooksy and C.Evans yet to come back into the reckoning.

Whilst Duffy sees a lot of the ball he's not exactly been productive of late so a rest for Holmes, who is a genuine goalscorer just off Clarke would allow us to have a competitive midfield. Thrown Leonard's pace and strength in there and go for a tight, professional one goal win.

Still got plenty of options from the bench too. Stevens due a rest.

Just beat the nobs!

We owe these. No way should we let them do the double on us.

Precisely. We should remember, also, that important and interesting though formations and tactics are, the excellence of the footballers in the shirts is paramount.

That’s unfair on Simon Moore.

 

[Pinchy]

Is Brooks back this weekend? ?

Well, a fan says he should play, so he must be. Get Couttsy in.
