Things started to go wrong the minute Lawrence left, and got worse when Adi went.Shows how much we are missing Dennis and Adi.
We hardly won any 50-50 challenges in that 2 nd halfWhichever way you want to look at it, improvements drastically need to be made. That was probably one of the poorest performances I've seen in some time, especially in the second half. There was zero tempo, a lack of cohesion between players, poor shape and very little creativity.
I think things can be improved as we have a good squad but there's a hell of a lot to work on.
Look at it another way. We’ve lost no-one from midfield (certainly in the area being discussed) so we have exactly the same amount of depth we had before. It’s not even a conversation if Sheaf is fit.so we have no depth in midfield you saying?
Spot on GIMOC, glad to see people on here actually have a brain.in no particular order.
on the pitch first
no replacement for Hamer
no creativity
no leaders on the pitch
No shape
no midfield
no physicality
too small
off the pitch
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Not identifying key areas in the transfer market
Pressure on robins

I mean last year we could have had Liam Kelly to play the holding role and get some leadership into them.Look at it another way.

I'd play Wright as a striker next to Simms, I'd play EMC on the left and Asante on the right.Wright is the best left winger in the league, they moved him to the right hand side today because EMC couldn't cope. It's bizarre management. Our best players being sacrificed to accommodate this new lot. Mental.
Thought we did okay first half. Stats way in our favour and Norwich, no shots on target.Whichever way you want to look at it, improvements drastically need to be made.

Must be difficult to get the best out of tho when your used to one having two voices.I’m not buying this too many cooks synopsis.
I’m sure bigger clubs than us I.e Man City Utd etc etc, in fact probably all of the premier league clubs have more staff than we do.
Wright was completely anonymous when he played up front today. If we play that front 4 with a midfield 2 we will get absolutely murdered.I'd play Wright as a striker next to Simms, I'd play EMC on the left and Asante on the right.
We were exactly the same at this point last year. Then we got better.I think what’s very clear is the coaching isn’t working. Whatever the reasons for that. We look as bad as we ever have tactically under Robins. No patterns of play, players static on the ball.
All these well paid performance specialists we’ve brought in need to be earning their wage because right now we’ve gone backwards off the pitch IMO.

They’ve tried to get it. That’s very, very obvious. It’s not some sort of disaster zone in there with who we have.and last season we all said we needed more in that area

And we've just sold the guy who made those assists and not replaced him...... footballing suicide.In creatively, we’ve got two assists in four games.
Not playing Thomas and Kitching doesn't help, we're definitely not nasty enough.We're a team full of pansy's, soft as fuck every last one of them. Teams know they can bully us as we won't retaliate. There was a floated ball in the second half that the keeper just plucked out the air, it was crying out for someone to put there keeper into the back of the net. Just stuff like that, get the crowd going. Another game we went out with a whimper.
No but you do because you know more than Robins apparently.robins says alot of things
tell me last time a player got injured when a ball hits his foot
he’s not going to mention how long officially is he?

Or to get a better midfielder han Torp, Allen and Eccles that doesn't need Sheaf alongside them to hold their hand.The alternative was to sell Sheaf and gamble on replacing him. You'd have moaned if they sold him.
So Palmer and Ohare havnt left then ?Look at it another way. We’ve lost no-one from midfield (certainly in the area being discussed) so we have exactly the same amount of depth we had before. It’s not even a conversation if Sheaf is fit.
Worrying for me was the passive nature of all our players.
Norwich didn’t really threaten, came with a game plan to stifle, press our full backs, commit niggly fouls (and plain assaults) and time waste.
Fucking worked tho-and we sat back and let them do it. Rolled over got shagged from behind while they tickled our tummy.
Could have been different if Simms had connected from that flukey Bidwell pass in first 10 mins or the header.
Forced Norwich out.
But again worry for me was lack of intensity or urgency. Lack of creativity for our front players-no good blaming Simms if he’s given scraps-he can’t work with that! Simms came off and the front three had exactly the same service as Simms-nothing.
Robins had 5 coaches and they have the international break to sort this out.
We’ve played 3 teams with a plan to stifle us and our formation-and we haven’t had a plan B.
Fucking go to 3 centre backs and give the oppo something to think about!! You know the old saying-definition of madness is to continue down the same path but expect different results.
City have continued with this shitty formation/game plan and it HAS NOT WORKED.
Players are all over the place and look lost-that’s on Robins and his coaching staff.
Can’t blame the fans when there’s literally nothing to get worked up about in a game when we had two shots. (Not counting the blocked ones).
It’s been a tough start but we have the personal and the manager to get us going again.
I just hope we don’t carry on sleep walking to more defeats like today-very frustrating!
