Do you have dads all over the place?
The touch and energy of my local Dad's league players
I’m not convinced the changes explain what we saw second half, but the nonsense that comprises our set piece routines was exposed again. Norwich felt comfortable enough to almost put every outfield player in our box.Their manager outthought ours.He made changes at HT after that we were chasing shadows no where near tight enough to their players, only time we got the ball was a misplaced pass or a throw in .They must have had 65 or 70% of the ball after the changes.
Why do we still persist in pulling all 11 back? Leaves our area crowded and no outlet.
I don't know how we set up midfield in training but come Saturday and we seem to be overrun every game
I always try to look for the positives in our performance & try not to panic unduly, but I honestly can’t fathom how you’ve reached that conclusion, I‘m struggling to recall such a woefully inadequate midfield performance.Midfield wasn’t the issue.
Raphael??Sounds exactly like last year. People slamming the money spent and the recruitment team. Haji and Simms getting slated and then went on the score 40 goals.
Today was poor. It was similar to 12 months ago. Disjointed. Lots of players looking a little lost. Worryingly, a slight lack of confidence Infront of 26,000 home fans.
It will get better. Lots of new faces, plenty out the door and multiple new coaches. They need some time to get to grips.
Behind anything, our most gifted and important player hasn't played yet. Put him in the side today and we are far more likely to pick up a point or 3.
Assume SheafRaphael??
Tbf hearing Robins post match interview, it suggests that Palmer had already spoken to Hull on the Tuesday without the club knowing, and that Robins said when you look back at his performance on Tuesday it was obvious something was going on in the previous 24 hours.So Palmer thought with how he was playing and the game state he should have stayed on?
That would be why his career hasn’t progressed from all them years ago at Huddersfield.
I didn’t realise Hull had been tapping him up for 2 seasonsTbf hearing Robins post match interview, it suggests that Palmer had already spoken to Hull on the Tuesday without the club knowing, and that Robins said when you look back at his performance on Tuesday it was obvious something was going on.

Assume Sheaf
If we’re relying on him and Stormin’ Norman…Tbf, maybe Raphael is our saviour
This season we are supposedly favorites for promotion
He’ll be back training next week robins said after matchSheaf is going to be out for awhile it looks like (thought I saw 2 months being mentioned on X). Might be time to sell him and get 15-20M if we can and replace him with a CM that can actually play a full season.
Hope you’re right. Will seeHe’ll be back training next week robins said after match
I don’t know what the current odds are but I was going by preseason pundits and almost everyone had us in their top 6 and some even had in the top 2. Maybe they were looking at things upside down..We’re not.
Most of the bookmakers have us down to finish outside the playoffs.
Mad mad result.. just shows how fragile they are and how a run of bad results can rot the core of a team…For some strange reason Everton being 2-0 up at home against Bournemouth with 4 minutes to go, and managing to lose 2-3 has cheered me up a little.
(Only a little mind)
We had 2 strikers last season who really kicked on from Christmas I thought they would be on fire this season but with trying to accommodate the new signings it seems to have upset the rhythm. I don't see the point in taking off two 20 million worth strikers

The additional quality that Mark Robins has on the bench this season looks to be more of a curse than a blessing for the manager at this early stage. Coventry City ended up chasing the game without their two top goalscorers from last season on the pitch, nor probably their best passer of the ball either. The sentiment currently is changes for the sake of making changes rather than how they are intended to change the game.
Said before, it’s like they’re pre-planned regardless of the match situation. I was surprised to see Simms hooked as early as he was though.The Wrap: Norwich City – 0-1
Coventry City fell to a limp 1-0 defeat at home to Norwich City to head into the first international break on a bum note. In a fairly even first-half, the Sky Blues had the best chances, with Ellis…sidewayssammy.com
Don't let him even train!He’ll be back training next week robins said after match
Congrats to Robins for keeping the score down
Wright had the beating of his man all game on the left but then he got moved to the right and he was totally out of the game. As we saw against wolves and oxford he's a match winner but he was sitting on the bench when we the chance may have came for him to get us the winner. Simms missed a few today but he got in the positions but I think the fact he's looking like being hooked on the hour now every game he seems to be on edge and snatching at his chancesI think Haji Wright has been one of our better players this season.
Simms hasn’t achieved much but in fairness to him he hasn’t had great service.
Yep was a nasty tackle that when you give a free kick at grassroots everyone shouts I won the ball as if that means fuck allCallum Doyle goes on the two foot list.
exactly this.Simms missed a few today but he got in the positions but I think the fact he's looking like being hooked on the hour now every game he seems to be on edge and snatching at his chances

we know he's a confidence player, so what do we do? take him off early when the problem is in midfield. wow!!
