Only a short post as others will be far better at expressing their views.
I had my ear bent on the way back by a Norwich fan who stated that we were the better side in the first half. I do agree with this assessment, although we were a little short on creativity. Each side had one chance & it looked a certainty that we would be leaving with a point in a goal less game.
The second half started & Lynch won the ball twice with good defending. However, both tiomes he gave the ball straight back to Norwich. So, one goal down & the chances of equalising looked remote. Before their second goal (not closing down the player in pocession) I felt that we did not deserve to lose, but it was hard to argue that at the end of the match.
That we didn't get anything from the game was not due to a lack of effort or care, but more down to our lack of making chances. We were far more competitive though than many a game last season.
I need help in trying to understand what our playing system was. I think it was a back three when Norwich had the ball, but when the ball was with Smithies, Perch moved to a right winger to attempt to win the ball in the air. He was largely sucessful with this!
As expected, we ended the game hitting everything towards the head of Smith. We are not very good at playing that way!
Overall, a disappointing result, but a performance that didn't leave the supporters annoyed. |  | | |  |

Spot on analysis. We were not awful but had little real threat. I sit in a B & B in Norwich like I have done before and I don't despair but choke when I watch our lot concede childish goals - why back off and why cant defenders in possession clear the ball? I won' be home for a while - tragedy is that Jamie can't do it....nor can Conor...so what happens now ? |  | | |

That's 2 games in a row that we've conceded just after half time. Very frustrating after a solid first half. Concentration levels need to improve if this is not to become a habit. |  | | |

I only heard it on the radio, but felt less confident the moment Pawel went off. I feel he gives us so much more of a threat and really hope he will be back soon. [Post edited 17 Aug 2017 0:41]

Can we just get North Korea to develop a nuclear weapon that would reach Norwich?Forget Guam and go for the Norfolk lot instead?
I could deal with the fallout ending at Diss anyway. |  | | |

we looked great first 20 minutes, really took the game to them,.. and then the substitution seemed to change the shape a bit.. and we kind of plodded through the rest of the game, never had the intensity of the first 20 minutes.. never had much creativity, and didn't take the odd chances we had,. Thought Freeman and Scowen had a lot of the ball and played quite well, Luongo was very quiet in comparison. The fron two never had much to work with and certainly didn't create much themselves, Smith coming on meant we went long ball and it didn't improve anything..
Our best chance was probably immediately after the first goal and Freeman came onto a Mackie layoff and he will probably expect to score from that range but put it straight at the keeper.. would have been interesting to see how that may have changed the game..
Our defence always seemed prone to a lapse of concentration.. Ned and Perch both has a couple of moments.. and their first goal was straight from a bad clearance from Lynch |  | | |

Really good opening, but if we can;t create solid chances from that amount of early pressure, we could be looking at some problems in getting results. I felt the buggest problem was Ned who kept putting others under prressure by not clearing his lines and passsing the ball to others who were in greater danger than he was..
Naarch fand close to booing their mob off the pitch and then injurues changed everything. Lua Lua did a passable impression of SWP and Smith contributed nothing. If we had staye dwith the same formation, things could have been very different. Smug Canary fans going home, but their team has a lot of problenms too, |  |

Thats our problem, not clinical enough up too, other than Sylla who isn't really Ollie type we have no natural finishers. | | | |
