This has to be the low point of an otherwise great season.
Need to get that CM in and Frank needs to tear a strip off the fuckers.

So very, very poor.
We aren't going anywhere if we play like that.
Out fought, out muscled and out played. Norwich thoroughly deserved their victory .
They had Mason-Clark's number all game and Torp and Grimes just couldn't get it going in the middle of the park. They both had bad games.
Hard to shine any light on that performance.
Esse's goal was taken very well. That's about it and BTA should have been sent off.. No idea what the hell he was doing there.
It simply wasn't good enough and we need to get our act together and we do desperately need help in the centre of midfield
I am usually pretty upbeat, but that was dreadful and Norwich simply wanted it more, which is a huge concern and should never been allowed to happen.
MOTM? I supposed MVE. 6. Hard to pick anyone

As we gave him the ball more than anyone else I'm nominating Ahmed as our MOTM.

Most down I have been all season. Just can't get my head around that performance.
We looked like a side at the bottom of the table with zero confidence, rather than one sitting proudly at the top.

Taking wright off almost looks pre-meditated as it made no real sense
He had more shots and creation than anyone else
Simms looks like he had concrete boots on. No movement at all.

Frank needs to work out some different tactics as we are too predictable, give the ball away too easy & no variation to corner & long throw routines.
How's bta, jds, kitching and emc better than wright?
Did he? Come off it. Simms didn’t show any movement at all. Removing your main threat was just strange.
He looked pretty furious. Maybe this poor defeat will be a catalyst for improved form, especially away from home.
No way was Wright our worst player tonight. You've got to be kidding me?!
I made it 1. If you’re chalking the one under the keeper that got cleared off the line then it’s unbelievably harsh.
Rushworth 6 good keeper but poor kicking
Mve 7 one of our better players
Thomas 2 completely ball watching, half asleep
Kitching 2 stupid
JDS 4 back to the JDS of old
Grimes 5 not sure if it's what's around him but he is the only quarter back who plays mostly backwards passes, one of which led to a goal. Similar to Birmingham
Torp 5 just too slow, one good ball through to Wright
BTA 4 clearly still some way off match fitness, he wasn't right in the 10 pre injury and still isn't
Esse 6 Great goal and one great flick but nothing else
EMC 5 is he just slow? Any time he's got an opportunity to open his legs and stretch a defender he steps over it and slows down
Wright 7 Great movement constant threat unlucky not to score (motm)
Simms 4 planted to the floor, no real threat
Sakamoto 6 final ball not good enough
Minnie 4 not got time to blood academy players
Eccles 6 did some good stuff and should start the next game
Lampard 3 starting line up was ridiculous against a team that has been scoring a lot of goals. The midfield setup all wrong again.

MvE was good. Wright ok; don't know why he's getting criticism. Esse in patches.
Kitching, Thomas, Dasilva and especially BTA absolutely fucking pathetic. BTA should be embarrassed with himself.
Lampard: 0. Wrong set-up, and taking Wright off when he was a biggest goal threat was a joke. Changes don't have to be like for like, you know.

We need it. We can't just expect to be winning every home game
Just some of these needless defeats turned into draws would have been enough to keep the momentum going.
I'd have kept wright on and up front with Simms. We were 2-1 down.
Wright wasn't bad in my opinion.
MVE, Wright and Rushworth. The only three that come out with any real credit.
Which forced a good save and a goal-line clearance following another good save.
He was dangerous, and one of the very few to get any credit at all out of that.
I know everyone loves Esse, but he’s a luxury. Tremendous goal and one great flick but that’s it.
Said it a few times, but Sakamoto offers more overall.
Doesn’t help Esse when the 10 and other winger are also anonymous. Not sure what Frank does as he can clearly be a game changer but we can’t afford to carry him, plus 1/2 others.
Torp has a few great offensive passes, but lots of wasted simple ones and off the pace.
Grimes is well off it, which disrupts the whole team. His passing range was went from missing simple passes to trying to overcompensate with shit Hollywood balls.

Lowest marks have to be saved for the system. No central midfield. No full backs. We’re playing a central midfielder with the engine and pace of a blancmange in the most open system there is. And we’re getting smashed. We got lucky in the last two home games. System must change. Surely got to see Eccles or Allen for Torp for a while now.
Ok I will let you add wright to be above 0, but at the end of the day he is there to score goals he had 3 chances and didn't get any.
