Norwich (h) match thread sponsored by Colmans Mustard

[Man Friday]

Played ok against a decent PL side. Hopefully we'll get that first win next week when I'm going with a mate who's an Everton fan!

[sputnik]

I reckon Norwich will be kicking themselves because the three points were their's for the taking.

[Einstein agogo]

In all seriousness , most of our players weren't awful
Except Pog, who was dire , Ledge ,who was the worse i've seen him play & Tabb , who was much worse than normal.

Feds 6 nothing to do
Gunter 6 always average not as good as Cummings
Morrison 7 solid
Gorkks 7 solid
Shorey 7 Solid ( dead balls need improvement )
Jobi 7 hard working
Mcleary 6 Can't cross (Kebe 8 caused problems , should have started )
Ledge 4 awful
Tabb 4 did he touch the ball?
Roberts 7 causes problems & runs at defenders ( Le fondre 6 no chances really just a wild back flip thing )
Hunt 5 very average ( Pog 1 slower than a league 2 defender who's stoned )

Did hear some boos ring out at the final whistle though. Don't know if that'll help things along but I doubt it...

[ManchesterRoyals]

Shorey man of the match for for me, but Roberts was excellent also

Gunter is worring as fxxk

I mean I don't get the booing. Granted we haven't got a win yet but we have got results in 6 of 10 league matches (doing the maths that's 60% of the games) and we don't look like a shit team. Just a team that has proven it can get results, just not wins...

But draws wont keep us up

Yep. Our players weren't awful individually apart from a couple of them. As a team we just didn't have the spark. But fair play to Norwich who defended very well.

They sure will. Just not on their own. Every point is vital though.

That being said though we haven't proven we are capable of winning at this level and it is wins along with draws that will keep us up if we do survive. We have the draws covered so far.

I still don't get the booing though...6 results out of 10 doesn't warrant booing in my book. I know some will disagree, but just sayin'...

[ManchesterRoyals]

Come on we should be winning games like this no excuses

If im right feds didnt even have to make a save?

[howser]

Risking the wrath from hell, but sadly BMcD, is doing very little in terms of spark and imagination to change matches this is one we should have certainly got a positive result from, the issues with Pearce and especially Guthrie, who might be injured, who knows are hard to understand. Its time for as change or at least some new ideas we are not going to improve and strengthen our position just drifitng along like this, we should be competeing in matches against teams like Norwich, no disrespect to them, when we go there, they will expect three point just as we had the right to do today, there has to be changes otherwise we will be cut adrift by christmas when it will be too late to react.

I am not bothered about the other two sides down with us just let them sort themselves out, Anton needs to act now or throw all the promise from last season down the pan.

[Einstein agogo]

It's so oxf*rd obvious that we lack in midfield... we need 2 players in the Jan window
Work out , how many millions it will cost to go down ( last year it was £21,000,000+ )and spend half that on new players , you can still spend £5,000,000 a piece
It's not rocket science , you can get much better than Jem/Ledge/Tabb for £5,000,000

Pog won hearly every header he contested, don`t get it into your stupid head you don`t like someone and miss the positives

Whilst you are correct about Pog winning headers, sadly the ball didn't go anywhere that would cause Norwich a problem. I like Pog but he is not right for our team and the way it currently plays - another problem directly attributable to McDermott.

It's also true that Feds had little of any real difficulty to do. However, his distribution today was excellent and, at long last, he is throwing the ball out quickly to set up counters whenever he can.

Villa Beating United too just gets better
