MATCHWATCH : Norwich City (a)

[Pepe the Horseman]

WHoscored has that down as a Cabral error.

He made a decent save, and our defenders were a complete shambles for the rebound.

BBC suggesting he fluffed a clearance straight to Norwich.

Yeh, just watched it again. Thought he'd made a save with his foot when I first caught it, but actually he scrambled away a really poor backpass.

I wish I could tell the BBCRB team I don't give a oxf*rd about Binfield.

[Orion1871]

I’ve lost Count of the number of times we have given stupid goals away, by trying to play the ball out from the back. Football is a simple game why try and complicate It? Especially when you have players that aren’t capable of playing that type of football.

Everyone thinks they should play passing football now as it's seen as "the right way" to play the game.

Really they should be playing the right way for them and the talent at their disposal.

[Snowflake Royal]

If only Olise had a right foot, that's a first touch shot blasted into the net. Instead it's half control and skew miles away.

[Jackson Corner]

I can’t think of a team in recent seasons that has won promotion by playing sideways TicTac football, more often than not just leads to giving the ball ball away in your own half leaving the opposition to have a shot on goal. We got away with it to a certain extent in Stams first season. But we were soon sussed out and it seems every Manager since seems to think that’s the way to play. Just give me direct football balls into the box long throw ins Over this crap any day of the week.

[Norfolk Royal]

We’re playing better than we have been but Gibson Ian having an absolute shocker, complete liability, Holmes not a lot better. Olise just wasted a really good chance.

[tidus_mi2]

Looks like they fixed iFollow if you want to watch the 2nd half.

[Snowball]

For £5?

[Snowball]

If Norwich win this 2-1, and it's double points in the Prediction League...

[Snowflake Royal]

Only seem about 10 minutes but we're matching the Champions.

Seeing very little to complain about.

Key to turning us from an also side into a top one is just driving forward a touch quicker and hard on the break, plus cutting out a handful of mistakes at each end.

Genuinely the difference between 7/8th and about 2/3/4th

[tidus_mi2]

For £5?

It really should be but no.

[Snowflake Royal]

oxf*rd me that's some glorious chances Norwich had.

Cabral HAS to push the ball wide better on shots. And he HAS to make that clearance from Holmes for the goal.

[Ascotexgunner]

Gibson is another one I can't wait to see the back of. If that's the standard of player the top clubs are producing they can keep em. That's 2 players Everton have loaned us recently and both are/were garbage.
Defensively he looks utterly clueless.

[Snowflake Royal]

For £5?

It really should be but no.

I'll be making a complaint and asking for a credit or partial refund.

Tbf, no way I can see them able to set up a discount to go live in time for the fix to get it back up.

[Jackson Corner]

That’s three really good saves by the keeper in the opening five minutes of the second-half, just a matter of time before Norwich score..

[Snowflake Royal]

Ejaria slowing things down and losing the ball again


Such a luxury.

[Lower West]

Norwich breeze through the midfield so easily. Shows the difference in class.

[Notts Royal]

I still don’t understand the benefit of the splitting the defenders and passing the ball out of the back tactic; beyond drawing a few opposition players out of position. Can anyone explain it to me?! The team in possession still then need to progress another 70 yards up the pitch.

I get the keeper throwing it out to the full back at speed following defending a corner, but don’t get the benefit of exposing yourself centrally.

Why did football need to change this way? Every single week you see free goals conceded due to this stupid tactic; and it’s not just us

[From Despair To Where?]

How typical that Swansea, Bournemouth and Barnsley are all losing.

How typical that Swansea, Bournemouth and Barnsley are all losing.

Shame as I really wanted Derby to go down.
