I noticed the ball holding up with the amount of watering they had done before the game - seemed a bit much!

I was at Carrow Road and it was a pretty even first half, would say we edged it and needed the free kick, rebound or penalty to go in, and then the ground stays flat and they fade. Bjg problem for me was Fraser. Literally played one forward pass all game. Id have started Robinson and been a bit bolder. But with Mads and Jelert out there isn't a lot of luck there. Would do that same at home against Coventry if Fellows is out because I think we need to adopt the "attack is the best form of defence" mantra and we can't defend and build from deep at all. Scienza and Jander obviously got clattered every time they get near the ball so we need to adapt there too. Second half we just lacked movement and cutting edge. Not sure if we can try and get sonrone like Edozie fit who will be more dynamic as a sub. Going to be a good game!

Seems to be playing a bit more and doing ok. Presume we still stand to recoup nothing due to contract expiry?

Coventry at home is going to be big!

Think when Tonda decides it's time to shut up shop then he needs to tweak the shape a bit too. Maybe be brave enough to go 433 once games are won.

Real shame as the table would have looked very different. Downes and Charles were needed there. Or a three instead maybe.

It's ok we can bring Downs on soon

My issue with GON, apart from him being a skate, is that he comes across as an utterly thick c***, and as such I can't ever imagine him having any tactical nous or know how. At least Carrick comes across as someone with a brain cell or two.

Shame it's not 442 with Stephens RB and Leo/Arma up top, Fellows and Robinson wide. Wishful thinking obviously

Looks like Russ is realistically happening from the bookies....

Get Carrick or Cooper in ASAP

433 Edwards CM.... please!!!!

Or Aribo or the young lad

Look at those players - where is the creativity coming from? Scienza and Azaz? So many defensive first players, so imbalanced. Jander and Downes are going to have to play forward
