Never mind, we'll send on our super subs after half-time and murder them!

somewhat confused as to why he didn't stick a team of kids out tonight for an absolutely nothing game we were going to lose.

In Sept, we could rotate, but for now, its about preserving what we have and keeping them fit for a push in the next few weeks / months, this is just a distraction

This could end up embarrassing. Norwich look like they could score with every attack.
Hope I'm wrong, long drive home!!

Don't worry it will all be ok in September. Anything before is a bonus.

What I don't get is, how long do we persist with the formation if we don't have the players and it isn't actually working?

Just give Norwich a pass to the next round.

Start the engine bus driver...boarding in 5-10mins.

DKE concedes a dangerous free kick

Maddison plays it in, falls to their 19 who tries a cheeky back heel, we clear it and find McCann who takes on a few players before being fouled in the centre circle. Booking for their man everytime.

Norwich go on to counter forcing RCC into a save

Hard to see us coming back into this. Contemplating giving up on the commentary and taking the dog for a walk.

Sure the season starts in September Mogga...but 5/6 games we will have 2 points from a possible 15-18? That's the difference between making the playoffs or closer to relegation.

I agree with that, but cant see why he would play his 1st team tonight.,

Another dangerous Maddison corner headed over

He's certainly been working on his corner taking !

we don't have the players.

Doesn't matter what the formation is, we don't have the players yet. What would you go with this squad tonight that we could have got a result with ?

The 11 out there are doing the best they can. Look at who they are playing against

Bassong, Lafferty etc

I actually think our team is extremely poor at the moment. Even with 2 or 3 new signings it'll still look tame.

There's no guts either.

The first team is getting spanked by a Norwich complete second string.

We have serious problems this season IMO.

I imagine his answer would be 'we can't play any other formation with the personnel we have' or something along those lines

If this was football manager the fans would be getting agitated and you'd be getting the concerns filtered into you inbox for your reluctance to try something new

Let's not pretend their second string is rubbish though.

After all, people on here saying Maddison worth £10m...

I know we are playing Norwich today but regardless, taking into account the other games:

1) we can't defend
2) midfield can't stop attacks
3) midfield doesn't create chances for the attackers
4) attackers can't score or create

I think we need 11 new players...

I think the only positive this year will be the kids Harris and Stevenson progressing into the first team.
I expect both of them to be sold in the next window or in the summer of 2017, just on the basis they both have a modicum of talent.

Players look like they are trying their best but it's paper thin squad and just not good enough. Boys against men. Going to be a long second half and v long journey home

4 things you really don't need want your football team to have.

It sounds so negative, but it's actually complete reality.

Agreed Nick, baffling decision not even to name him in the squad, would have been the perfect opportunity to give him a 30 min run out
