I'm thinking what if we played MVE in Saka's RW role and KKH in the RB role and Wolf in Bobby's CB role. I'd like to give that a try.

Just back from the game.

If you're going to time waste from about 17 minutes and concede an equaliser in added time, then you've got nobody to blame but yourself.

The ref was a total plonker, he could have started dishing out yellows for time wasting ten/fifteen minutes before he finally did, it was obvious what was going on. And how on earth he didn't twig their player hadn't gone off after treatment, unless there's been a change to the rules I've missed?

Had the chances to win comfortably really, still wondering how we missed a couple of them. Can only really remember them having the once chance and that was the one they scored from. Thought overall we played OK, just out finishing let us down.

Doesn’t have to go off if the opponent who made the challenge is cautioned. Bobby Thomas was cautioned for the challenge for DPA.

If we ever have 2 players booked for time wasting in the 1st half of a game against a team from the same league I will immediately begin campaign for the sacking of the manager

I won’t if it means we were under the hammer for 90 minutes and get away with a point.

Really? They had 4 shots in total and only one on target. They tried to shithouse us and it didn’t work with pathetic time wasting.

It was the polar opposite of the game we played at Carrow Road at the start of this year where we went 1-0 up against the run of play and they battered us all game and got the win stoppage time.

They rode their luck today and had we took one of many chances 20-30 minutes earlier, we’d have won the game.

If that had been a newly promoted team with limited resources I'd say fair play, but a team with play off ambitions, not for me, its bollocks

I personally thought they accepted we were the better team. We had. 4 shots on target of that 28 shots we had.

I thought they blocked everything and nullified everything we had. Rudoni and Torp were poor which hindered everything

we deserved something but they defended resolutely. Personally I took it as a compliment. They were an organised side that restricted us, and played to do so.

I've said this. Except MVE is a lot better defensively and KKH is a lot better going forward. According to the stats.

Not perfect, but I know who plays on the right and who plays on the left.

Most Norwich fans will be disappointed that they didn’t try to get a second. Their keeper made two top drawer saves and we were profligate to be honest.

To say they defended resolutely when they gave up 4.03 xG is just not the reality of how the game panned out. If that’s how they play away from home, they’ll have a similarly poor away record to Bristol City last season under Manning.

It’s been the case for several years (at least). Lots of people around us losing their shit about it today, they didn’t believe it when told why he didn’t go off.

Anyone else had this and if so how can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

This happened to me after I’d used my phone. I went back to laptop and it kept saying the same thing. I was using Firefox so I switched to Chrome and it worked. Not sure how helpful that is.

Don't bother with ifollow anymore, haven't for a few seasons now. Felt like I'd spend more of the game trying to get it to work than actually watching the match.

Just through the door…and haven’t read any of this thread but I’ve repeated this sentiment a couple of times already.
What absolute fucking shit their game plan was…despicable.
I can’t remember ever seeing 2 players booked for time wasting in the first half!

Still it made the equaliser all the sweeter!

We will be up there based on our performances this season so far. QPR it looked like every shot was going in but couple of games recently it's been a bit wasteful. Performance wise you could argue we could have won every single game so far if we had taken our guilt edge chances but that's not how football works.

However it's very positive signs and over a season it evens out points wise with the way we are playing and we are most definitely up there challenging for autos if we play like this every week.

Exactly, think we’ve missed out in the window, just worry when we need a goal and it’s down to Simms to come on ?

Stepped up hasn’t he, 3 signings this summer , brau, Hayden and woolfenden can’t get a start, although think woolfenden becomes a regular once he gets a start

It is worrying. Our options were what we did today and that was the best attacking squad we could put out. Just hope we’ve got some targets lined up for January because I don’t think this is going to unlock every door we come across.

Spot on , got a great starting 11 , felt a bit sorry for Asante,,dropped for sakamoto who,didn’t really do a lot, as daft as it sounds that was a better performance than QPR just we still look weak at the back, think woolfenden comes in for thomas next game
