Well it is considering how much money has been spent on this team.

You can't instruct players when to switch the ball, and to follow patterns in play? Pretty sure a game plan and decision making to execute it go hand in hand.

Thought Eccles ( bar his bad back pass) has been superb

wright threatening with zero end product

MVE again doing well

Lati and Binks solid enough

It’s just been solid without sparkling , who knows what might happen second half?

Decent game , see yesterday's agendas from certain posters have carried forward to today . Saka looks low on confidence, Rudoni not running the game as he needs to , Bidwell erratic
Midfield looks steady , need to get Wright on the ball more .

Rudoni is not a 10.
Click to expand...

To add to this, I feel for him as it’s not his position and he’s being asked to be our focal creative point.

He’s better as an 8, the position I thought we were going to utilise this season.

He’s a good player and fans are already turning.

But the ref called the physio on. No need for Lats to get involved

Ref letting Lats know who's reffing the game.

Still harsh though

Is the ref medically qualified. Fuck all to do with him if the injured player doesn’t want physio.

Expect so much more than that from Rudoni. He's hardly been in the game.

Eccles has been very good, apart from that one awful pass. MVE, excellent too, apart from that one awful pass.

Wright has looked dangerous at times, but a bit disappointed with Bidwell. Can see Dasilva coming on at some point if it carries on like this

JDS for Bids
Bassette for Simms
BTA for Torp as a central 10
EMC for Saka (but play on left)
Move Wright to the right
Attack with pace - we can beat this lot.

Here we go again , why don't we just compare squad values rather than actually kicking a ball around?

Pretty even game so far. Both could have scored but decent defending by Norwich. Saka has done ok except seems a bit hesitant to cross, confidence maybe? Simms not involved enough. MIdfield have done ok I think. This is there for the taking.

Jumped just a fraction too early. Was coming down when he made contact. As you say, better/more in form striker would do better.

Another shit ref today. And that’s a new one, book the captain for trying to keep his player on the pitch. Then insisting the player goes off when he doesn’t want to.

We’ve spent a lot of money so rightly so we should expect a better product on the pitch. It is isn’t anywhere near what is should be.

Robins needs to give some of the new players the nod in ahead of some.

Fair enough , think Simms really should score or atleast hit the target early on and Wright should square it we are 2 up and the opinion is its a great half .

Can't say Eccles has been anything other than a LG 1 player apparently

He's been our best player by far but the usual muppets will say he's not good enough

A very 6/10 first half. Too slow and indecisive going forward, conceding too much space in midfield and giving the ball away needlessly.

Tempo needs increasing and players need to give more movement off the ball.
Click to expand...

Spot on. Not able to break up play in midfield and allowing Norwich all the space. And when we have the ball not springing quick ball forward against a fairly slow back line. Simms making runs but brave enough to feed it through to him.

Rudoni has been conspicuous by his absence. Saka has been a little subdued. Maybe Bassette and EMC or BTA can inject more umph.

Eccles and Torp have done well. Need a bit more from Rudoni. Simms looks like he has lost any of the confidence he gained last season. Not connecting with any conviction.
Van Erwijk has been best player by a mile.

agree stu but can see BTA's pace in the 10 role creating all kinds of issues for this Norwich team.

This is what we do. If you've not worked it out yet I don't know what you're watching. Keep it tight first half, but hope to nick it, we have game changers on the bench. Other teams tire, we become stronger. It's happened almost every game so far.
