benjii Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This is crap. Stephens shouldn't be at right back. Manning is shite. Should have started with Alcaraz and Adams today. Sort it out, Russ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Really don’t like this formation. It turns into a 3 at the back and our wings just get massively exposed. Manning looks like he doesn’t understand the concept of playing left back. Also don’t think the positional switch suits KWP, it nullifies him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look okay in possession, but its definitely impacting our attacking play. Edited January 1 by Saint86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 minute ago, SambaMaverick said: Me too. Completely unnecessary. I think RM made a rod for his own back when he gave him the captaincy. THB and Bednarek have forged such a good partnership while he's been out injured that neither can be dropped, so Russ seems to be trying too hard to fit him in purely because he's the captain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintNewForest Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Ah, Stephens & Manning the scapegoats today then. We must always have one.

This would seem to be him doing exactly as he's instructed. Our 3 at the back is supposed to act as cover for both him doing this and for KWP to be even more forward. Manning will support all that crisp forward passing, and pops up forward and centrally when the play is well over on the right. Stephens gets a bit of license to go forward when Norich are depending on one up front. A bit disjointed in the execution of all this. Manning's passing and positioning not offering a massive amount. At best, he's supporting others like Downes and Stephens. KWP's high roaming position not as good as when he was supporting from a bit deeper.

KWP would defend just as well if not better and then we'd have an extra attacking threat down the right hand side. Manning just avoids the ball when defending so he doesn't have to get involved, it's weird. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hwang looking for any kind of help on 45 mins. Exactly as he was doing on 11 mins.

Disco Stu Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Norwich getting a lot of joy on the wings. Get KWP at right back. Stephens off for Alcaraz or Mara. Put Bree on for Manning.
