I thought Kesler-Hayden was injured and didn't know Markelo had signed when I posted it.

Esse looks more like a 10 to me, that seems his most natural position. I think alternatively he is more a wide attacker than a traditional winger.Which is why you need to play Sakamoto. Esse has only crossed the ball once in 3 games.
Occasionally....probably be before your days, for away games, I would only find the score out by buying The Pink, which the Cov Telegraph used to publish and would be delivered to newsagents before or around 6pm ish every Saturday night
Used to be Ward's down Ringwood Highway and then what was Forbuoys on Jubilee Crescent. Now a Spar I believe.Same here, out of interest which newsagent.
I'll be in Hamburg watching in a bar somewhereIt might be better while under the influence

Mine has zero interest but then suddenly seems to support whatever opponent we’re playing.She's not that bothered but if you asked her she'd go with family ties, so Spurs and Galatasaray. I will somehow ensure this kid is a CCFC fan even if it kills me though.
Well thats just cruel.Mine has zero interest but then suddenly seems to support whatever opponent we’re playing.

Injured. Save your money.I'm punting on Obikwu to score. Its written in the stars.
PHEW!Injured. Save your money.
It was madness. We got battered first half and extremely lucky to be 1 up. Not sure why Frank didn't see this and change things. No hindsight needed. It was obvious.Agree - I think we were somewhat willing to gamble vs Norwich because we believed they wouldn't take their chances well - which I think broadly was correct - Rushworth had a lot less difficult saves to make than previous games. But it is a dangerous game to play allowing so much to happen in dangerous areas - as you say, the winner comes from a mistake.
I also think we were unlucky not to go in 2 up (Wright) and to equalise (EMC off the bar). What I think baffled a lot of people is that we didn't seem to tactically respond to the game well, at all. By the first half it was clear we needed far more control of the game, and we already had a lead to defend, away from home. Conceding seconds into the 2nd half didn't give us much chance of that - which perhaps played a part in Lampard & co deciding to keep going for it.
Totally agree..He is definitely not a winger.Esse looks more like a 10 to me, that seems his most natural position. I think alternatively he is more a wide attacker than a traditional winger.
They had 1 more shot than us than in total in that first half… what are you talking about?It was madness. We got battered first half and extremely lucky to be 1 up. Not sure why Frank didn't see this and change things. No hindsight needed. It was obvious.
Course he's injured. He was developed by usInjured. Save your money.
Suggest you watch the game again. Stats prove nothing. We were run ragged.They had 1 more shot than us than in total in that first half… what are you talking about?
Last season, Norwich actually battered us and to demonstrate the difference, see attachments.

Not sure I can think of anything worse...
So in short, you are saying we weren't overrun in the first half at Norwich? Great emojis by the way.They had 1 more shot than us than in total in that first half… what are you talking about?

It was very open, but they didn’t actually create any clearcut chances.So in short, you are saying we weren't overrun in the first half at Norwich? Great emojis by the way.

I rewatched that EMC header and just can’t understand how he’s not scored. Taken more difficult chances than that this season.The first half highlights really demonstrate your point too…

It was end to end and the stats reflect that because both teams had 9 and 8 shots respectively. Their xG for that half was 0.44 xG and ours was slightly better at 0.63. When your talking to someone who readily say ‘stats mean nothing’, it’s just a waste of time.It was very open, but they didn’t actually create any clearcut chances.
A Norwich fan I know scoffed at my thought that they owed the result to two howlers and our poor finishing, but the numbers flesh it out.It was end to end and the stats reflect that because both teams had 9 and 8 shots respectively.

Haji actually forced a good save, good finish from Esse and Kitching had a pretty point blank header in the 6th minute which is credited as being the best chance of the half.
In life, facts are friendly. We all have subjective opinions but the better opinions are grounded in facts.
As I say, facts are friendly and their big chances came from defensive errors which isn’t good enough. We have a chance cleared off the line, EMC misses from 3 yards and Eccles heads over a big chance. Score one of those, particularly at 1-1 and we probably win the game.A Norwich fan I know scoffed at my thought that they owed the result to two howlers and our poor finishing, but the numbers flesh it out.
It’s no surprise Lampard is a moody bugger when he sees big errors in both boxes, his own tactical issues notwithstanding.

The idea that they battered us is just not grounded in reality. They got at us, had positive momentum and threat but did not create clear cut chances.
For the whole game they created 1.18 xG which is not that great and we’ve kept clean sheets despite with more xG conceded iirc.
He missed an easy header against Norwich at home at 0-0, off the post that timeI rewatched that EMC header and just can’t understand how he’s not scored. Taken more difficult chances than that this season.
Norwich will get ripped apart by Boro, I wasn’t impressed whatsoever.
If a team “gets at us” frequently and has the majority of the momentum getting deeper into our half than we do into theirs but doesn’t create clear cut chances can you see why people may say they battered us? You need to be aware of what stats like xG don’t capture as well as what they do. This is the same mistake you make with going on about Sakamotos dribbles.
