As always, apologies to Harry Morant for bastardizing his poem title.
2-0 to us..

Norwich obviously (because everyone knows) targeting Nardi’s weakness at corners.

Ive enjoyed him but I'm not sure Mbengue is going to stick as the RB. Lot of positional issues, dives in way too easily often then taking himself out of the game as the oppo attack and his touch when dribbling could be kindly described as variable.


Totally agree. A big problem as I've commented on before is Varane, thinking he's playing el classico every week, asking for fouls when they dont exist, strolling around not committing to anything whatsoever. We've been dreadful, absolutely dreadful.... absolutely dreadful

Disgusting performance. Varane appears to be away with the fairies.

Cook with no-one except five Rangers players round him heading it out for a corner has to be the most stupid thing I've seen today. Of course all brought about because bloody Nardi is completely rooted to his line even though there's no Norwich player in sight

Shit but local

I think I could have scored for Norwich in that half.

Pretty bad half.
Not too many players can say they put their hand up there.

We've looked unfit again, lacking any zip at all, too slow to the ball and too slow on it.

A truly pathetic display. Varane and Mbengue should be made to get the train home.

I was genuinely surprised when I saw that line-up, the exact same XI that played 90 minutes weds, got back home early hours Thurs, and back on the road again Fri. That was really the strongest option we had to put out there?

Not won in 13 you say? Hold my beer..

Every time we won a few games and were in a good form, Julien Stephan just messed up with the squad selection.

Really poor. Centre midfield has been abysmal today, but a lot of others struggling. Feels very open so not sure the Manager has planned this very well. Still a lot to play for and score next and you can see Norwich getting very nervy.

If he makes 2 or 3 changes at HT it shows he got the starting line-up wrong.


He did, that's obvious.

Just make the changes and try to get something from the game. Starting with the midfield. So far Mattson and McLean have Madsen and Varane in their pockets.

And quite why Stephan is persisting with shoe horning Field into LB when we have a bonafide LB in Norrington-Davies is beyond me. Julien can solve 2 problems with 1 sub by moving Sam into midfield and bringing ND on for Varane. Round pegs in round holes please.

Then remove the ineffective Dembele for Smyth. After his excellent cameo at Blackburn Paul deserves to play and would provide better defensive cover on that flank. Norwich have been having a field day down our right.

Supporting this team should come with a health warning...........supporting this team could mentally harm you

From the heights of Hull..... and the tempo to this in just 7 days. Never even contemplated Blackburn ..but after that result braving the biblical weather here and greeted with this !!!

First 20 mins was like foosball pinging it about and 1-1 was perhaps the right score.as both teams were going hell for leather

Then 5 minutes of utter crapery has lost us this game..........What Sam was doing with that header is open to conjecture........and the OG is what it is.......... but the 3rd goal was the killer.........Unfortunately we won't come back from this

Guess we can say JS should have made changes........but we have all complained about major changes and how bad it is........so he don't make them, and this is what happens

OK we are bad.......but I still think we are on the sh!tty end of these 3 game weeks......and I though I'm not a conspiracist, I do think we are hard done by.

Most like we will have to write this one off........and it is more the frustrating that it is fcuking Norwich again............never forgive them for 1976...........

Let's not concede again and go again next week. Never been a advocate for an opponent team but their Mattson is ruling that mid field

Varane looks bored out there so take him off and Saito anonymous again with Chair on the pitch.
Morgan and Kone instead please.
Nardi - all been said.

Wish I could be like David Watts

Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:48 - Nov 29 by THEBUSH

Our defense is non existent today, I've no idea, what our
manager, is trying to do?
I don't think, he knows, what he is doing


It's not just a defensive issue, apart from the usual hesitancy from Nardi.
But JS could change all 5 of the midfield based on their 1st half contribution.
Not sure Field will come out either as he's had a couple of bad looking knocks.

How can anyone honestly think that playing the exact same 11 as three days ago is a good idea? Saito looks shattered, there is no midfield, Field as just done something in his groin. They're out on their feet after 25mins. It's infuriating because it's so avoidable. You're telling me that not a single one on that bench could come in for tired legs? RND can't come in and play fullback? Smyth can't come in and run at them?

What a waste of a game.

Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:57 - Nov 29 with 989 views1BobbyHazell

No one gets a pass but the midfield's lack of legs is a key here. They are letting down the defence and the attack.

I'd put Morgan on over Hayden, not saying that would transform the game but it's energy we need. So Smythy too.

Talking of which how depressing to see Frey on the bench over Kolli.

Dear oh dear so many issues, unable to deal with the conditions, Varane has had a total shocker, both full backs have been very poor, Dembele and Saito totally ineffectual You can see he's not made that sub then because he wants to do a mass of changes at once and keep more in reserve.

I think at a minimum we want Smyth, Kone, Norrington Davies and maybe give it 5 or 10 before hooking Varane and putting Hayden on if no improvement

Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:57 - Nov 29 with 970 viewsdmm

I'd expect a good few HT subs. Kone for Saito, Hayden for Varane, RDN for Field. Keep Smyth for a bit later.
