Things I learned from Norwich (a) 21:54 - Dec 29 with 2816 views | davman | 1. If Dykes is the standard of professional footballer in the Football League, I gave up too early at 45. 2. If Norwich is the best team in this league, just how bad must it be? They were shocking. 3. Is it an age thing in that Todd Cantwell has always had a face you could punch, even more so after that dive? 4. Todd Kane - see comment 1. above about Dykes. Can't defend, can't pass - wtf can he do? 5. Backs against the wall defending we can do. Keep the ball we bloody well can't. 6. I suggested to my son Hugill might give us a laugh and Hugill one from under the bar; never thought BOS would do that. 7. They could have put Delia in goal at half time, the score would not have been any different. 8. The belief in the team once we equalised was commendable and we really should have won. If we can get out of trouble with a few wins and can play without pressure, it might be as much fun as last season, but f-me it is such a big IF. 9. I'm guessing that this wasn't the game he was going to get judged on. I'm thinking that a defeat (or even a draw) at Luton may be it. 10. We are really going to embarrass ourselves in the cup aren't we? 11. Much better than I thought it would be, but we are desperate for a three point game... | |

Things I learned from Norwich (a) on 22:04 - Dec 29 with 2662 views | MedwayR | Dykes missed the vast majority of our pre-season and has played non-stop this season. I’m sure by now he’ll be feeling it, he isn’t scoring, could do with a rest & an opportunity to work on a few things in training. I’m still confident he’ll come good but I’m not sure it’ll be this season, Bonne is due a run of games. | |

Or...given he's been playing as a lone striker he is totally reliant on Chair to create and the Wing-backs to put in quality crosses, Chair was clean through twice tonight and we saw his achilles as a playmaker, playing head-down and taking too many touches, whereas Kane and Nico are both incapable of crossing the ball. | | | |

Must read five or six times each season "that's the worst team we'll see here all season (obviously we never say that for Brentford games). I think it's just a really really sht league full of average teams. We are one of them. | | | |

Big fan of Ilias, but LTC's corners looked much more dangerous | | | |

You are right about the quality not being up to scratch but it does not say a lot about us after something like 9 games without a win. Whilst I was pleasantly surprised by what we did tonight we need to start winning and can't keep blowing big chances. Wednesday, Derby, Luton, Barnsley (6 wins in 7 now? ) and Wycombe all won. Luton have been good at home recently whilst we have struggled on the road. We should have won the last two away games but haven't so that pressure keeps growing. We can't score from open play even from half a yard. | | | |

I agree he tried, but his ball control is rank. The ball "bobbles" and "squirted away" from him every single time it came near bar a couple of nice lay offs. How many games are we going to carry him without him not having a sniff of a goal from open play? And how many games without a goal are we going to excuse a striker? Bonne is also woeful, but he has to start in front of Dykes if Kelman is not yet ready... | |

Good point. I wondered if that might be the case. I've only seen the ex-pat friendly highlights, as I'm in Australia. Thanks. | | | |

Yep, haven't seen a better team than them. Stoke and Reading looked very average for top 6 sides. | | | |
