I was one, got it wrong, still far more embarrassing stuff in this thread though, in fact, make that the last coupe of pages.

We don't have anyone else to play RB except for the academy kids and Robins doesn't seem to want to give them a go.

This is the start of 4 games in 10 days and by far the hardest fixture of the 4 on paper. Even if we lose today I don't think you can really judge this team selection until that run of matches is over.
What I do find strange is why Baka couldn't be given 20 minutes in the week. Or why Allen has sat on the bench without coming on, if this kind of rotation was in his mind. I don't think it's easy to switch straight into the intensity of matches at this level when you're out of favour and then thrust straight into the firing line.

Fancy Giles and possibly Dabo to break their duck. Fancy this game.

I’ve been hoping to see Baka in this division. Hopefully he’ll be well up for this one.

i bet there aren't many people on this forum who have fa qualifications in coaching and management
Myself included how about letting Mark Robins manage the side
People said that going to a back four on Wednesday was the wrong decision and look how that turned out

I don't quite get why resting Walker was necessary as well. A shame we didn't have more of a punt at this game

Don't forget he hadn't played much football, and then had Covid, so I think a rest is fair enough. Particularly with the number of games coming up.

It looks like MR is using this game to rest a few, and get minutes into others, we arnt even pretending to compete for a point.
0-2 and a very comfortable game for Narrwitch.
I'm so glad fans arnt splashing out to travel to watch this capitulation.

You do know it's still 0-0 , hardly a capitulation

I agree with that but I don't think he or Hamer appeared to be flagging that much earlier in the week.

We have got five subs to play with (as long as MR is willing to use them).

Walker, Biamou, Jobello, Hamer, Bapaga for the last 25 mins.

Daniel Farke's bitching about having to put youth players in the squad is like Chelsea fans saying they aren't glory hunters because 'I still supported them when they came 3rd'

I mentioned the Covid factor on another thread. It doesn't appear to be knocking young athletes for 6 in the way it is doing with other people but we don't no for sure that's the case with Walker, he may still be feeling the after effects.

Not today we don't. We just need a keeper who can hump it miles to the other end of the pitch, and then we make it hard for them to get back to our end.

Against Bournemouth (just to pick a comparable example), when we worked it out from the back, we rarely got past half way before losing possession. Better they start from their penalty area and put the onus on them. Possession does not mean much, as Cardiff showed. Their possession was at fault when we scored

Ok so 4 pts and 2 clean sheets

Lets change what we are doing

It’ll be just like that time we played Dan Agyei on his own up front at Carrow Road. Think I left at 4-1

No manager goes out to lose a game, he's set up his side to counter attack today, with Tuesday also in mind... Kelly will sit infront of a centre half 3 providing cover, Baka used to chase and hold the ball up for the wing backs and ohare... Give it a bloody chance

Might get twatted might surprise you all... Weve a squad for a reason

He froze bakayoko out ahead of biamou - neither will play next game so that selection alone is very odd

The only thing I worry about is match fitness of players, Allen hasn't really played any proper football.

That team is okay I can see the reason why Walker is on the bench good decision, toss up for me between Baka or Max and what’s this moaning about Allen, he’s a good player and runs his knackers off every game.
We can win this.

To me, it looks like he wants to go long and hold up... Biamou wins headers fair enough but Baka holds it up better.

That's why I think he's starting

That then relies on O'Hare and Allen to win second balls

The choice of Baka makes sense. The job is to chase and harry for 90 minutes. Hamer, less so. But is a 'park the bus' team though, which is what is needed.

I predict 75 minutes of frantic back to wall defending and then two late Norwich goals
Click to expand...
How about 75 minutesbacks to the wall then 5 subs and thenBOOM

But you can bring 5 on overall, so bring two on at a time
