Ben Jackson is such a poor defender, soft as shit and never puts a tackle or a block in.

We might as well have just kept Fotheringham, he would probably have been cheaper. Defend, defend, defend, get the ball, give it away, rinse and repeat. Then the odd occasion we get a break forward no-one has a clue what to do.

Then the odd occasion we get a break forward no-one has a clue what to do. We currently have an 83% pass completion rate.And nearly 40% possession. I know these stats can be misleading, but we must be keeping the ball reasonably well. Certainly better than earlier in the season.

Town making Norwich look like the most undangerous team I've seen this season..so far at least, at any rate - I wonder if we can nick this one in the second half?

Rudoni is a bit lucky there. That wasn't a clever thing to do.

Football as a contact sport is fucked if that “collision” warrants the Norwich players response and the refs to book jack. Plus the commentator acting like it was nasty?

He needs to get over this Another one lauded as a great player because of one decent performance a few weeks back. Just like many of his teammates, not good enough.

I know these stats can be misleading, but we must be keeping the ball reasonably well. Certainly better than earlier in the season. We aren't and it isn't. Norwich sit off us and we pass the ball backwards and sideways. Only semblance of a threat is Burgzorg. Thomas and Rudoni have been awful. Rudoni is off his game; just the usual dickhead stuff from Thomas.

Town defending well, but it only takes one mistake or a superb bit of skill.
The save by Maxwell was the best save we've seen this season.
Headley doing OK defensively, but he needs clear focus when he gets a chance inside the opposition penalty area.
Kasumu needs to wake up, he's not getting back quick enough for the slip pass inside Headley.
Burgzorg an enigma as usual.. at his most dangerous after he's fallen over.

Rudoni is a bit lucky there. That wasn't a clever thing to do. For me unlucky to get booked, no facial contact that I could see, and his eyes always on the ball. Scoreless, not really any moments to increase my heart rate by more than 1bpm, but at least we're still in it. UTT

Draw would be a great result, but they are there to be got at, hopefully we can nick something🤞

I think the player jumped into Rudoni's arm. Don't think it was swinging at all and his eyes were always on the ball. Poor booking IMHO (but TBF I've seen it more times than the Ref).

Rudoni went up for the header using arm for leverage, nothing more than a yellow and certainly not ‘violent conduct’ for an honest challenge

There was a good 5-10 mins spell where we had possession, and passed the ball well. It was nice to see us string a few passes together, BUT we didn't have that possession anywhere near their final third.
As a few have mentioned, we look incredible soft in the tackle, from our fullbacks, to our forwards. Probably the only real bite we have in tackles would be our midfield 3. That would be something we need to add in the window, those who can tackle with a bit of bite.
I get super frustrated with Hogg, constantly yelling at every opportunity. It's been said before, but it's every time someone makes a mistake, he's too intense, while not being the finished article himself, I've panicked every time I feel his own feet catch him up and he's chasing for his first touch, but overall we've been fairly-ish solid.
We do look like our objective is to just try and contain Norwich, we've not really committed to attacking when we've had spells of the ball, and that's obviously down to us constantly being exposed when we do commit a few men forward.
Not the most entertaining half of football ever. I would like to see it us be a bit more adventurous in the second half which I do believe we will be/or at least hope.
it's not been the defensive block we've seen over recent weeks, a lot more composed, a little more balanced which is good, but I don't think we've tried to have a go at them properly.
Norwich are there for the taking thats for sure. We do have to keep Hernandez, Rowe and Sainz quiet though, as they will be dangerous if space opens up.

100% tackles won by Town in defence. 83% passing accuracy compared to Norwich's 90%.
We're in dreamland.

He has just elbowed the guy in the face Nah thats bollocks, he came into Rudoni from Rudoni's right hand side, Rudoni's arm touched the left side of his face, he went down and walked off the pitch, clutching the right side of his face. Diving twat.
