Agree with the guy on CWR. No heart second half. One man team.

We're a league one team with Gyökeres and Hamer (and maybe Sheaf).

How is he a boo boy? He was poor. Dabo is getting pelters on here from pretty much everyone but who was hopelessly exposed time and time again as Cuffey was never in position

We are clearly still suffering from the lack of investment in the summer and have too many squad players in the team regularly, but I really don't think there is any need for all the knicker wetting.

Where are the points gonna come from, (apologies for swearing in advance) but we have 1 fucking win since the bloody World Cup, we’ve been shit. We are nothing without O’hare, as proven earlier in this shit show of a season and now. Im just tired of it, we need some fucking investment now, I dont give a shit what anyone says Doug need to get his sodding chequebook out or he’s a twat

Clearly a personnel issue with Kane. Obviously injury is unfortunate, but don't see what that new lad offers over Burroughs and Kane.

Panzo starting on the bench over Dabo at CB is another issue today. Our whole back line drifted towards the ball everytime they came forward.

King should see today as proof that letting the team rot with no external funding is only going to lead to one thing. Urgent support needed at centre back and in central midfield.

Our inability to string even 3 passes together was painful. Totally disjointed with a one trick pony attack that involved punting it long for Vik .
Dabo should never play again after that, unfit, clueless, positionally inept. Doyle dreadful, Rose dreadful.
We made them look like Brazil

To be fair, he's not playing in his natural position. He wasn't that bad, couple of decent crosses. Judge him after a few games.

I don;t think relegation is a real danger as long as Vik stays fit. What we've seen in the last couple of games are what squads look like when you've got PL money. I think every single player on Norwich's bench would get into our starting XI today.

Defensively they were very poor but if you squander possession so easily it gets protected. Again, a better side than us would have turned them over.

Well yes, that is true, but by the same token, Norwich WERE excellent and they did also score 4 in the previous game, which was also away from home.

We were very poor, but credit where credit's due.

Norwich have had nearly 50 shots in the 2 games since Wagner arrived. If you look at their goals v Preston, they absolutely flood the box. I can’t see anything but a Norwich win, but I can see us catching them on the break. Going with 2-4.

It was pleasing we made somewhat of a fist of it back end of the first half, cause I was genuinely fearing 6 or 7 at one point

But second half Norwich did a professional job and we didn’t even get a sniff - they’re the best side to come here this season for me

Be happy for the season just to finish now, clear the decks and try and rebuild - think we have nothing to fear in terms of relegation as there will easily be 3 worse sides than us but play offs absolutely zero chance

Not making excuses for Hamer but was poor today and I’m wondering if he’s carrying an injury, but the rest of midfield weren’t on it either. But imo Norwich when flowing are the best team in the league including Burnley and they looked it today.

All on our coach are saying that Norwich are the best team we've seen here this season. Them very good. Us poor except for 20 plus minutes

Shouldn’t stop someone from ball watching and lacking basic passing ability.

'If we can strengthen' and 'getting players back fit'.

What's the point?

How many of our defense today is upto championship standard or do we own?? The fact a 37 year old held our defense together is a credit to him, but shows how poor the others are.

Season not defined by Burnley and Norwich games according to Oggy.

What about the results against garbage like Swansea, Reading, Cardiff and Bristol City? Plus a loss against a Non League side?

To be fair Sheaf was by fair the most passer.

Some shocking pass completion rates out there.

Probably something along the lines of "if they hadn't have scored 4 goals we would have won 2 nil"

The others are OK but desperately lacking in leadership. Without Fadz and with a silent GK they just don’t know what to do, especially at set pieces where we’re fucking terrible at the moment.
