Always trust your gut feeling. Mine was right about this team all along. Night all.

Dreadful defensive performance. We look better with Latibeudiere in the team. Unfortunately our better form players play in the same position - Esse and Sakamoto. I think we need the former in the 10 and Sakamoto on the right.

 

[shmmeee]

Apart from esse non of them can hold their head up.

once again so may individual errors

Not sure he was any better apart from one flic and twatting the ball really hard once.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Shape was all wrong from the start for an away game.
Wide open through the middle.
We must play far more compact shape through the middle away from home.
Far too easy to play against even for a crap team like Norwich

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We’ve gifted them that
What on earth is Kitching doing
They were poor we were poorer
So many players off th boil

mve did ok
Saka
Eccles
Wright
Esse

emc
Torp
Grimes
Kitching

all very poor from the start

Should have been 1-1 but for terrible bit of play by kitch and they did it 3-4 times too

Hamer not impressed with what he's seeing.

He’s changed his mind about joining us! Thinks sheff utd have a better chance of promotion

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I mean we have next to 0 experience of grinding out a title win in this team.

 

[larry_david]

I'm not sure why we stayed like for like.

Should have put both up front

He doesn't have a plan b. Just like Robins. Just like arteta. They dont these days. Its stubborn stick to the plan

 

[ccfc1292]

Why's DaSilva not swung at that with his right

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

Don’t know about a CM, 2 centre halves on the shopping list, can’t do that

could have prime ramos and pepe at the back, when balls get through midfield with ease every single time, one or two will go in. Grimes is just not doing what he is there to do at the moment, and the ones next to him are not helping it neither.

 

[mrtrench]

Grimes has gone which has totally cost us.

We look jaded and badly in need of re-enforcements

Agree. Grimes was poor.

 

[Johnnythespider]

As soon as the commentator said that Norwich had lost all seven games they'd gone behind at home you just knew what was coming

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

Utter shite performance, only person to come out with any credit was MVE. At some point Lampard has to realise just playing 4 attackers away from home isn’t tactically good enough!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Norwich were nothing special whatsoever by the way. Unlike a lot of games where teams have taken it up a level, these were right there for the taking.

Lampard takes a ridiculous gamble and selects a wafer thin midfield. What on Earth was he thinking with that? What have we spent a week doing to prepare?

 

[shepardo01]

Absolutely wank from Torp, sums up his performances for the last couple of months.

But some people say he's better than Hamer

 

[jto123]

I did say when i saw the team its stupid. We were lucky to go in 1 nil at half time.

Awful to play Asante over Eccles. Even commentators can see that.

We been awfull for weeks.

Our defense is shocking...its because of the formation. Way too open. Grimes needs help.

Stupidity.

Said the same. The lead should not have covered up the poor first half performance. Lampard didn’t recognise it.

[Liquid Gold]

We'll be ahead on goal difference only on Saturday as Boro show how shit Norwich are and we fail to do anything away yet again

 

[Cov98]

I’ll be honest, I’ve never been one to be over critical, but I haven’t thought Kitching and Thomas were at the level required for 2 seasons now.

yes, they have some amazing games but fuck me do they have some absolute clangers. Both at fault for both goals there in a game we could’ve scraped a 1-0.

 

[Jamesimus]

Norwich deserved their win and were the better team.

That being said we were close to scoring a couple more goals ourselves.

I do not enjoy the way the team is set up for away games at tricky opponents, I think it’s mad. But if it gets us points at QPR I can’t really complain.

Really struggling to enjoy the games now because they all seem so important for our future!

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Need to change the formation, grind out results. It is not working. 5 at the back. We have not played well since November. Frank too late making changes, again.

 

[Nick]

That og by jds was fucking terrible. Why's he trying to clear with his left foot and not just putting it out the ground on his right foot?

 

[chiefdave]

It’s obvious we’re trying to do it on the cheap.

I don't think we should go mental but if we fuck this up how long until we get another chance?

The loanees all go back, the better players get picked off by clubs that finish lower than us but will pay them more and we're looking at a rebuild with Vin & Gus type money.

I said the other week I can see a very real possibility of us fucking this up. Not saying they will but its not that hard to see them dropping to second while people keep saying the title doesn't matter as long as we go up and then slipping into the play offs the last couple of weeks of the season. If that happens I don't see a trip to Wembley let alone winning.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Always trust your gut feeling. Mine was right about this team all along. Night all.

Wow you are an oracle of knowledge!

 

[shmmeee]

But he’s as soft as shit! We need someone who’s actually got a bit of strength in the middle of the pitch! Torp gets muscled off the ball far to much which then leave us open! Then all the opposition have got to deal with is the chuckle brothers in centre defence

Dosnt change the fact that if you don’t play him our midfield has all the invention of a Temu supplier.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Grimes has gone which has totally cost us.

We look jaded and badly in need of re-enforcements

Not sure that’s right
We are completely over run with grimes being the only midfielder
Emc and Esse were so poor at tracking back saka much better
1-1 we go on and win

 

[skyblue025]

Torp is the only midfielder we’ve got with any passing range or vision.

If only he could run to go with it.

 

[DT-R]

Get Torp off set pieces as well

You could put Christiano Ronaldo on corners, its the pathetic cunts hes aiming at are the problem. Its the long throws we need to give up on. Theyre pathetic, havent work for months. We're more likely to concede from a counter from them than we are to score! They need fucking off.

Fucking miserable night all around. Totally wrong gameplan from the start, the majority of our players look perpetually bewildered and knackered, soft as shite defending cost us yet again. Can't think of one positive from that, so best to draw a line under it and start prep for Saturday.

 

[jto123]

The scary thing is that was our best team tonight and they can’t perform away from home.

 

[steve101]

Gutless performance. Second best all over the pitch. Both centre half’s were abysmal. Dasilva has a simple clearance with his right foot but shanks it into his own goal with his left. No midfield again. Torp look knackered after 10 minutes. Grimes having to do 3 men’s work until Eccles came on.

Totally agree with this summary

 

[Nick]

Utter shite performance, only person to come out with any credit was MVE. At some point Lampard has to realise just playing 4 attackers away from home isn’t tactically good enough!

Not even sure about mve either.

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Back four were woeful. Looked like they had never played the game.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Will do sir. Getting frames ready of the ones who were still convinced we’re going up.

Norwich must surely be our official bogey team. 0 wins in 16. At least we’ve actually beaten PNE a few times at home.

Miserable away day.

nothing special or prime Barcelona they still just out fought and out classed us with ease.
