Yes he had a very poor game.
Take nothing away from Shai Hope though, his knock was a masterclass in playing the situation. He is a true modern great of the ODI game
The plan was always to take a 2nd string ODI side. And they've likely given a few players time off post-WC, Malan being one as he has a 2 month old baby, hence why he's not in the T20 squad
I do feel sorry for Hain though, agreed.
At least he knows how we play. I’d far rather we had a top of the box midfield of COH/Allen/Palmer rotating, and use the strikers if not working. Ayari should go back to Brighton in January
McFadz header v Leicester
Wright v Boro
Van Ewijk free kick v Watford
Latibeaudiere header v Hull
Godden's 1st v Cardiff (2nd phase from a corner)
Simms 1st v QPR
Bobby Thomas looks very unconvincing to me as a Championship centre back for a side pushing for top 6. I don’t think he’s any better than McNally or Rose and certainly not Latibeaudiare.
First year I’ve ever had a ST, living in London it’s always hard to get up for games. Bought off the back of the brilliance of last season and the season before that.
It was basically a pointless exercise and I won’t be bothering again
Excellent thread. Interesting point he makes at the end about that game being one of the more passive presses Norwich have used under Wagner.
I often think (eye test only, zero stats to back it up) that we've struggled against teams with a high pressing intensity - often results in us rushing...
It costs like £500 for a private MRI scan, it's peanuts in the scheme of things
I get Kelly probably knows his body better than most in the squad but I find it absolutely bizarre he would turn down a scan
