Charles is a different player. My point is, the manager is not going to get a new 11, he is supposed to be “flexible”, he has to, at some point, play to some of the strengths of players like downs

If Charles was asked to be the lone central midfielder much of the time, he would be questioned. 
 

You’ve really got it in to the new manager haven’t you.

It didn't happen last night either mate, it was Archer, Fraser and Matsuki. 

FFS My memory is  er what was I going to say ?

And fair play to all the fans that went up - great support as always!

Totally agree. Was stretching it a bit for Norwich to be part of a southern draw but good that we filled our allocation and from the TV, the support sounded very good. Watched the game on TV and thought there were a lot of positives to take from it:-

Archer's finish was excellent and his all round game was more on it than we've seen before.

When you pay Euro 3m for a 6ft 5" lightning fast central defender you're not going to get a world beater, but Quarshie headers the ball well and seemed confident in defence.

In addition to his strike, Matsuki also looked very confident and competent.

Just listened to the Adam Blackmore and Jo Tessem podcast:

They both think we desperately need a striker, hard to disagree - though they seem to have a blind spot on the idea of playing 2 strikers which I reckon is worth a try.

Totally agree. It seems to have gone out of fashion but not sure why. Back in the day there were always lots of brilliant strike pairs including our very own McDougall and Boyer who were superb. Bring back the front two I say - 442 is the way to go.

Tbh reading Stills quotes tonight it doesn't sound like he is going to be loaned out. 

Would be foolish to loan Matsuki out, he looked pretty good in this game.

Excellent performance and our dominance showed. Archer, Fraser and Matsuki all scored stunning goals 😊 Matsuki's was top drawer 😊 Roerslev was class, a clear upgrade at right back. Quarshie was very good too. Great to see Charlie Taylor back too, thought he was solid when he came on. Mccarthy made some vital stops too. Everybody played their part 😊 COYR 😊
