We seem to have a real issue holding onto leads away from home.

Bednarek is better than Stephens

I don't think he's being instructed, I think he's concerned about getting too close because of his lack of pace and ability to defend 1 Vs 1.

It's a shame he can't defend because he's actually got a really good left foot on him.

It's an obvious change for me. Adams on for Stephens and KWP back to RB where he is best. Arma back to the right hand side, where he is best. Let's get the players in their best positions please, Russell.

Do you think Manning has defended well then?

Manning has been absolutely shocking

Just not a fan of Stephens at RB and KWP further forward. It's just to shoehorn him into the side. I don't think he's good enough for that to be the case.

We're also interested in Fabio Carvalho on loan according to Fabrizio Romano.

A left footed right winger is exactly what we need.

Loan with an option to buy being discussed for Manuel Benson from Burnley. This is according to a Belgian journalist on twitter.

We do seem to struggle a bit to create chances away from home. Hopefully we've been working on that.

Funny how things change. They certainly didn't park the bus at St Mary's earlier in the season.

If THB was playing in the Premier League he'd be there or thereabouts already imo. As others have said, Edozie is miles off it currently.

Bazunu; KWP; THB, Bednarek, Manning; Downes (Charles), Aribo, S.Armstrong; Edozie, Arma, Adams.

Not sure he's the best keeper in the league but he's sure as hell not the worst. From what I've seen he's probably still in the top 6 best but until he sorts out the flaw with diving to his left there will be question marks over him. Talking about keepers at this level though - Just from our last 3 home games the Plymouth, Swansea and Blackburn ones all looked terrible to me.

Convincing win despite the nervousness at the end. KWP and THB were brilliant. Alcaraz wasn't great until the goal though. I thought Smallbone was way off it and Manning's defending for the disallowed goal was atrocious. Hopefully Downes is back for Norwich, he's so key for us in that position.

His feet are his strong point. Pretty sure this is the first time he's made that sort of cock up for us.

Surprised it's taken this long for that to happen. No because he's bad with his feet (quite the opposite) but because of the amount of times he receives the ball. It was bound to happen eventually.

Smallbone has been dreadful Alcaraz and Adams not much better. Won't be long before Aribo, Fraser and even Mara come on, surely?

At the end of the day Manning is actually a midfielder who's seemingly been converted into a left back. Maybe due to a lack of pace? So the fact he isn't brilliant at defending shouldn't come as a great surprise.

His body language is dreadful. I genuinely think he has the potential to be a top, top player but he isn't anywhere near as good as he thinks he is at this moment in time.

Deary me 🤣

Yep. Edozie seems to play better from the start, where as Fraser seems to make more of an impact off the bench. No need to change it IMO.

Sulemena clearly has an attitude issue and I'd imagine he expected to be sold in the summer. Edozie and Fraser both want to be here and you can tell.
