Be interesting what team is put out Saturday. Norwich will make mincemeat of our makeshift defence with their pace.
A mixture of results under Mr Harrington.
Won away at Sjoke a few weeks ago, but last season, lost at home to Bristol (my heart won’t let me put xxxx), drew at home with Abertawe Town, and also drew away with Weeds (3-3). He sent Morriston off though at Weeds and also gave a pelanty against him at Sjoke, so he doesn’t like him :hehe:

Really?
I’d see it exactly the opposite way around.

I think the board will stick with Harris whatever the result.
It will be for financial reasons

Looking at that bench, I’ve not got a clue what’s going to happen if one of our defenders gets injured.

Total football.
Canaries looking shaky in the first 2 mins!
That could be as good a chance we get. Should be 1 up.
...Bluebirds looking shaky in the first three minutes!
FFS.
Wilson gotta do better and the defending :facepalm:

Their keeper looks dodgy. Ref couldnt wait to blow up there.
Their keeper was dodgy in the last game. Fat lot of good it did us!!!!

we're are all so static in attack nobody wants the ball or wants to make a run
Bacuna has to do better there. Some good build up play though.

I was just about to post that Cantwell will run us ragged all game before the goal. Not good at the mo.
Don Corleone
16-01-21, 15:29
I know we have injuries but they have a lot of first team players missing too. We are all over the place at the back
Another frustrating half of football then.
PhyllisStant
16-01-21, 15:33
They have 10 first team players missing - our performance so far is unacceptable. The difference in hunger and desire (skill aside) is frankly embarrassing at the moment
Don Corleone
16-01-21, 15:34
We are playing a back 4 of 2 left backs, a centre midfield player and one centre half who is completely out of form - to be expected I suppose that we would be a defensive shambles
LeningradCowboy
16-01-21, 15:37
They look like scoring every time they have the ball. We look like we've never played together before.
Conceding early is about as predictable as it comes for us.

16-01-21, 15:48
We are so so slow on the ball.
Always 2-3 touches to many
Predictable play having to play into the channels with no pace to do anything with
This is awful
Good run by Wilson I know he ends up offside but no support whatsoever.
This 11 would get relegated. We need our injured back and have to get some defenders in.

Don Corleone
16-01-21, 15:50
We are all over the shop at the back, outfought and out paced in midfield and toothless and clueless in attack and also appear to lack some desire , certainly in comparison to Norwich. Apart from that not a bad first half.....
Even contest according to our commentators.😂😂😂

16-01-21, 15:52
Bamba/Morrison - very good.
Morrison/Nelson - average at best.
Nelson/Bennet - very very weak.
Having said that, despite injuries to our defence, we still don't have the ability to ask their keeper to make a save..

You know Roger You Know Gibbins You Know said that?
you know when your strolling over pontcanna and 2 teams are playing and you stop and watch for a few mins... and you soon figure out they are in the same hairdressers division but 1 team is a gulf in quality better than the other... thats what it feels like im watching here
there was a cracking ball just played and glatzel should have been on it like a cat... its like he dont have any pace, any interest in getting there or just not the quality obviously... so frustrating, to think these 2 teams are at the same level (division)
other than a bit of hustle and muscle from moore i dont know what we have to offer... would love a goal, but maybe norwich will score another 1st
skippy the budgie
16-01-21, 15:55
Roger Gibbins - great player.
But does he ever SHUT UP?

16-01-21, 15:58
.....time for cuppa. It’s the hope that.....:facepalm:
Getting to the point where we may as well start throwing in a few more of the kids into matches. Well presuming we don't get too close to the relegation zone either. Maybe a few more wins first.
A proper look at a few of them, see if they are up to much would at least make the season not a complete write off. I don't think Harris is under as much pressure from the board that some on this board would think.

And abysmal in midfield.

I’m struggling to understand how even the most ardent supporter of Neil Harris can find any chinks of light. This is dreadful, just like the match at Carrow Road. We are going backwards and I don’t see how anybody can argue that!!
Why wait until nearly an hour to make changes when 2-0 at home? I know Moore is coming back from injury but he could have made the Ojo change at half time.
Kind of Blue
16-01-21, 16:19
Relegation form, and performances, at the moment and the city are looking like a league one side against these lot. Securing safety about the only aim left from the season now.
Feck off ref. 2nd time their keeper has been all over the place and he blows.

Pack sent off
Kind of Blue
16-01-21, 16:29
Bollocks, Pack off.
Moronic, enjoy your week off
get in ralls good hit...
was only about to say look at the difference in the spring in the norwich teams step... that cantwell for example hes up for every ball, moves into space no one goes with him he picks it passes it off recieves it again, loses it but goes back in for more time and time again
if they dont score again we could actually have a glimmer here, if we level this up it will be ana amazing come back
cantwell again running the show... thats the difference
Work rate has improved, that’s half the battle. Pack’s gone. Ref wasn’t going to think twice.
Don Corleone
16-01-21, 16:30
Better 2nd half, closing down quicker but oh dear Pack, the ref has been waiting to do that
Pack should have been subbed. That was coming. Pity Moore coming on seemed to have given us a lift.
shocking from pack when we had a little light at the end of the tunnel...
what does it for me he had the stance to stay on the pitch and question it, jolls off the pitch shrugging his shoulders :shrug: i dont know what fans see in him at all lol
I know the result's shit but the most upsetting thing about this game for me is Gibbins's constant loud sucking of air in through his teeth
Ref's given them everything

That was a nice ball in from Murphy.

Much better 2nd half. The introduction of Moore has made a massive difference.
Pity about the sending off.

I see Pack was sent packing!
Conceded early, wake up and try and attack when the games done with......could be so many games

I have yet to see Bagan have a bad game, he's been as good as anyone at left back.
splott parker
16-01-21, 17:18
Roger Gibbins - great player.
Now there’s a quote that you don’t expect to see!!!!
Positives:
- We play so much better with Moore on the pitch. His return is a big plus and hopefully will be shortly followed by Morrison and Tomlin. Even Flint to give us more options would be nice at this point.
- Bagan got minutes and did well enough
- Vaulks played two nice passes to Bacuna and Murphy had a nice 5 minute cameo. Flashes of nice play happening.
- We don't play against a top 4 team for a while (next is Bournemouth with 8 games before them) so should have a better chance of picking up points
Negatives:
- Pack really shouldn't have got himself sent-off, though arguably turning the game into end-to-end with no central midfield helped improve our chances
- The first half
- We play 3 of the bottom 7 in those 8 aforementioned games and we seem to struggle against them too.
Pack’s departure didn’t seem to upset us but by then it was the usual let’s have a go as it’s a lost cause.
bunch of cloggers. no quality. no class. and no pashun
basically we've assembled a bunch of losers

It was ridiculous how much better we played when Kieffer Moore was on the pitch. I think that we'll shoot up the table if he stays fit.

Several players seem lifted by his presence. Ralls in particular was a different player with Moore up front.
I agree get Moore and Morrison fit. A right back in and we will climb the table.
However those 2 get injured then weve got problems. Hopefully the new striker comes good.

Agreed. He's absolutely fantastic. I hope they dont rush him back, though. I think Harris is basically in a job until the end of the season, so I hope he doesn't panic because we will be in trouble in Moore misses another 6 weeks.

If you pass Moore the ball, he controls it and you can get it back. If you pass Glatzel the ball, it bounces off him.
Norwich have won 15 games now and only two by more than a one goal margin and they were by two goal margins.
Hardly streets ahead.

Glatzel isn't good enough to start in the Championship. He needs to be coming of the bench against tired defenders to be effective (like Danny Ward).

Yeah they beat us with a pen that was a clear dive.Im not convinced by them although they do have some classy players at this level.

You might as well play a feather duster up front as Glatzel.

Glatzel has managed 3 attempts on target since he opened the scoring 6 games ago against Birmingham.
If anyone offered a soggy, stuck bag of cola cubes for him, I'd be tempted. He's had a glorious opportunity to stake a place in the starting line up after Moore's injury. Some were suggesting he should have been given more of a go. Instead, he's been almost fecking useless. I'm glad Moore is fit again. If he's not ready to start against QPR I'd pick Harris ahead of Glatzel (Neil or Mark, either will do).

Anita or Rolf would even make more of an impact than Glatzel.
