| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:44 - Nov 29 by 1BobbyHazell | 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 |  | |  |
| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:54 - Nov 29 with 1214 views | perpignanR | Disgusting performance. Varane appears to be away with the fairies. |  | |  |
| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:54 - Nov 29 with 1179 views | QPunkR | 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 |  |

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:55 - Nov 29 with 1181 views | colinallcars | I think I could have scored for Norwich in that half. |  | |  |
| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:55 - Nov 29 with 1174 views | BrianMcCarthy | 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. |  |

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:55 - Nov 29 with 1164 views | dm97 | A truly pathetic display. Varane and Mbengue should be made to get the train home. |  | |  |
| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:55 - Nov 29 with 1169 views | Pdog | 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.. [Post edited 29 Nov 15:55]

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:55 - Nov 29 with 1111 views | PhilmyRs | 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. |  | |  |

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:50 - Nov 29 by Noelmc | 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. [Post edited 29 Nov 16:09]

Think Varane would turn up late and miss it |  |

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:56 - Nov 29 with 1048 views | DesertBoot | 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. |  |

| 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. |  |

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:57 - Nov 29 with 1015 views | TomMorgz7 | 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 views | 1BobbyHazell | 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. |  | |  |

| Eastward Ho ! Match Fred on 15:57 - Nov 29 with 978 views | baz_qpr | 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 views | dmm | I'd expect a good few HT subs. Kone for Saito, Hayden for Varane, RDN for Field. Keep Smyth for a bit later. |  | |  |
