What a signing Esse has been. Think we can pick these off second half, not sure i enjoy the stat about THAT game being the last time they came from behind to win though.

We have scored first and lost the last two games here if that helps

Can see the ref getting told about that elbow at half time and trying to level it
Click to expand...
You can’t do that
I do fear with it being on sky that they will charge him as ref and Lino missed it in game
Very unlike Bta

Feel sure that if could tighten up the midfield area the forward players have enough in them to score more

It's no different to a lot of our perfomances over the last few months. We thought BTA coming back would sort everything, but it just makes us even lighter in midfield.

Like all of us reading you if we don't sign a CM or LB by next week.

Can't do what? The ref will be watching it at half time so it will of course play on his mind.

I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but BTA elbowed their player and will probably get a retrospective ban

Either need an extra midfielder or to drop Torp deeper and closer to Grimes as our midfield is too open on the transition

If the front four aren’t going to cover back then we need an extra man in there

Can BTA go and hand himself in so he gets less of a ban? That way he gets to come off at half time as well.

Genuinely don’t understand how we’ve gone from the fast flowing attacking side we saw at the start of the season to this where we can’t move the ball with any urgency at all

They are controlling midfield. We cannot string passes together from the back through midfield and Rushworth isn't the best at kicking. Need to change something at half time.

Its giving the ball away as easily and often as we are whilst pushing forward! We've not looked after the ball at all!

What kind of mentalist addresses big gaps in midfield by withdrawing another midfielder?

We nearly did TBF, a better first touch from Haji and he scores that chance

Not happened much in The Championship has it? Would be a bit of a joke tbh. Pretty sure Godden is still the last one to get banned for diving too

I’d keep BTA on for his pressing. Think Haji prefers playing with him.

Esse does things I don’t think any player our level can do

Been horrendous on the ball though!!

Norwich are a good side that have underachied this season. Great game so far and we've had more good opportunities. Esse is again showing his class. That pass for Wright was perfect and what a shot for the goal.

Can see them tiring towards the end.

really poor 15/20 mins and then grew into it and looked more confident after the goal. Said about fisher being a player and although MVE has done well against Ahmed, I expect him (and them lot) to come out all guns blazing. So may gaps in midfield we look so vulnerable when they turn it over. Need to really tighten up and keep the ball! But expect them to come out quick

Take that into half time but there are still the same issues with that midfield.

Eccles needs to come in for BTA

I’d prefer a more solid 433 at the moment it feels like we are playing 41113

Yes, a bit to much force behind it to be OK

Given some of the assaults on Saka that have gone unpunished it would be a joke
